Severus walked down to the great hall, Luscius and Narcissa next to him. Their fingers were intertwined. Narcissa's blonde hair was bouncing behind her as she quickened her regular pace to match that of Lucius's.

"So Sev, are you staying here or not? You know you are welcome to stay with me when ever." Said Lucius. Severus forced himself to smile. He loved Lucius like a brother and all and wanted to hang out with him over winter break, but he wanted to spend more time with Remus. He was listening to the marauder's talking loudly in potions about a week ago about vacation and soon found out that Remus was staying. He soon after signed up for staying over for winter break.

"Sorry, I would man, but I'm just gonna chill here, I can get some more studying in and now I get to practice potions all I want." Said Severus as they entered the great hall and sat down in the center of the Slytherin table.

"If you say so." said Lucius shrugging.

Everyone's attention turned as the headmaster gave his speech.

"Yo Sevy could you be a dear and pass the potato's." said the blonde from Defense against the Dark arts. Severus passed the girl the potato's then went back to his meal. "Thank you" said the girl going back to her friends.

"Sevy are you ever gonna ask anyone out? I mean you've never even had a girlfriend." Said Narcissa leaning against Lucius pushing her plate away disgusted.

"Awe Narcissa leave poor Sevy alone. He'll find someone soon." smiled Lucius, Severus smiled a little at Lucius's comment.

"Yeah, it's just that most of the people are in the school are either idiots or taken." said Severus his mind lingering on his old crush Lily. Lucius took the hint and dropped the subject. Severus liked to avoid the subject of lily his old crush.

"Well anyway over break I was wondering when we got back if I could copy the Herbology homework. Herbology just ain't my cup of tea." said Lucius putting his arm around Narcissa's shoulder. Severus nodded as he watched the doors to the great hall opened and Remus walked in. He watched intently as Remus looked around until his gaze fell on the Slytherin. The Gryffindor blushed and quickly looked away. He joined his friends at the Gryffindor table. Severus went back to his food.

"So I have been practicing a few new curses that I think will help you out with the Gryffindor twits. After break I can teach you. Kay?" said Narcissa smirking. Lucius smiled and pulled Narcissa closer to him.

"That's what I love about you." Narcissa cheeks grew a tad red and smiled. Severus ignored the couple but agreed to Narcissa's lessons. A few more curses up his sleeve couldn't hurt.

Severus was taking another bite from his pile of potato's when he it.

"Oh yeah sure, and let's not forget what you were screaming only a few moments ago. 'Oh Severus! I LOVE YOU SEVERUS'". It was Sirius. Severus blushed when he realized that Sirius was talking about Remus. Lucius and Narcissa looked disgusted. Severus quickly turned his blush into a look of disgust as he friends slowly turned back to him.

"Um, Sevy do yo-""I have no idea." said Severus cutting Lucius off. The group sat in silence for a moment before turning to one of their usual conversations which usually involved curses and other dark forms of magic.

With the feast coming to a close Severus, Lucius, and Narcissa left the great hall before the rush of students.

"Guy's I'm gonna be at the library for a while." said Severus stopping just outside of the entrance of the hall.

"Fine just don't come back to late tonight I wanna hang out once more before we have to leave." said Lucius sighing. Severus nodded and began to walk in the direction of the library.

"Try not to be a geek to long Sevy!" cried out Narcissa before walking away with Lucius hand and hand.

Severus walked slowly towards the library, trying to understand what had happened in the great hall. 'I bet Sirius was just making up some random shit to piss off Remus.' thought Severus to himself.

Severus walked into the library and walked over to his usual seat in the library, in the potion's section. He grabbed a random book of the shelf and began to read.

His moment of silence was broken when he heard some quiet moans and raspy breaths from a few shelves over. Severus stood up and decided to take a look and see who the idiots were that were ruining his chance at piece of quiet. He stopped a shelf before the moans that were getting louder by the second. Severus quietly went into the section right before the others and looked through a few missing books. Severus glared at the two Ravenclaw students snogging in the next isle of the library.

Severus tried to hold in the vomit that was making his way up from his stomach. They looked as though they were eating the others face. Severus decided it was best to quiet the little twits down. He didn't want Remus to be distracted when he was tutoring him in potions.

"It would be much appreciated if you would do that someplace else. I need quiet to teach." said Severus walking into the next isle casually. The two stopped snogging and looked over at Severus. The boy glared at the Slytherin and the girl looked away flushed.

"Come on, we can go to my dorm" said the boy pulling the girl by her wrist. Severus's expression was blank when he went back to his previous seat. After about three pages of the book Severus felt someone looking at him. He set down his book to find Remus in front of him. Severus fought back a blush. Remus's hair was a tiny bit damp and his tie was slightly loosed. His face was also flustered.

"Hello Severus." grinned Remus. He looked slightly out of breath. "So where do you wanna start?"

"Well what part of potions are you having the most trouble in?" asked Severus putting the book back on the shelf. Remus turned his head and rubbed his arm nervously.

"To tell you the truth pretty much everything. But mainly emotion potions." said Remus turning even redder. Severus tried not to look at him; he could feel his face heating up. 'Why does he have to look so adorable' thought Severus.

"Well those are easy so let's start with that." said Severus looking thought the books on the shelf in front of him. He pulled out a copy of basic emotional potions. Severus froze for a second as he when he looked at Remus. Remus was blushing and rubbing his left arm with his right hand. His gaze was off somewhere else, he looked slightly nervous and he was giggling oddly, like he wasn't sure of what to say next.

"Would you like to take a seat? And try to relax; I'm sure your friends won't find you. I know how embarrassing it might be to be seen with me." pouted Severus taking a seat at a large table. Remus quickly joined him not looking him but at his feet instead.

"I-it's not that. I wouldn't be embarrassed I would just be afraid they would hurt you." said Remus, his blush reddening. Severus looked flustered he opened the book trying to hide it.

"So let's get started."

--

"Thanks Sev. Let's do this again in was fun" smiled Remus pushing his chair back. Severus glared.

"I thought I told you I hate that name." said Severus standing up as well.

"If you hated it then why did you tell me?" said Remus gathering a few textbooks that Severus had given him to study before their next study session. Severus opened his mouth but no words formed. "That's what I thought. Now when do you wanna meet again? I am here all break, and so are you so how about tomorrow…once the train leaves. It's supposed to be nice out so wanna meet out by the large tree by the black lake?" asked Remus happily. Severus shrugged trying to play it off all cool like.

"Sure that works for me." said Severus, they smiled to one another and walked over to the Librarian who was surprised to still have students in the Library at this time of night.

"It's 9:00 you should be in your dorms." said the old witch taking the books from Remus and checking them out for him.

"I'm sorry we were caught up studying and lost track of the time. We promise it won't happen again." said Remus in a sweet and sincere tone. The witch sighed and handed back the books before dismissing them.

"Ha fooling teachers, one thing I have to that Sirius for." smiled Remus holding the textbooks close to his chest. Severus snickered.

"Give me some tips sometime, if I ever tried that I would wine up in detention. Guess it can't be helped Slytherin's have a nice rep for being sneaky and deceiving." said Severus smiling. Remus laughed and gave Severus a light punch in the shoulder.

They walked together until they got to the great hall before separating.

"Well I go left and you right so I guess I will see you tomorrow. Meet me at the tree at 10:30. I'll be waiting for you there. Good night Severus." said Remus waving good bye before heading off in the direction of Gryffindor tower.

"Alright see you there. Good night Remus."
