Chapter 12 - Moony Mayhem

From the last chapter

"Remus, what's going on. Did he attack you?"

It then dawned on Alex who must have been hitting him. "Remus?"

Remus snarled back. "My mate may have rejected me but I won't let this idiot have him either. If I can't have Snape no one can."

Alex was finally able to open his eyes and he looked up to see all four marauders looking back at him. Remus' fist was covered in blood, his blood. James spoke to him first.

"I suggest you get out of here Campione."

Alex, not thinking straight, said the first thing that came to mind. "I guess the wolf affects the man more than I thought." Instantly there was a hand at his throat, pinning him against the wall. It was Sirius. "How do you know about that? Was it Snivellus?"

"No."

"I'll kill that slimy bastard if he did tell. How do you know about that?"

"The same way I know about Prongs, Padfoot, and Wormtail. I'm from the future." Alex croaked out.

The four Gryffindors looked at each other and decided they needed to talk about this privately. Alex thought he heard a squeak from Wormtail.

"Get out of here Campione. I don't know how or why you know all of this but if you speak of it to anyone you will regret it." James spat.

The four marauders walked away, leaving Alex slumped over in the hallway.

"Alex! Oh Merlin, what happened?" Said Severus as her ran up the hallway.

Alex just coughed and used Severus to stand himself up. "It's okay, let's just get out of here."

Severus helped Alex along the hallway. When he got to the room of requirement he paced in front of it picturing a sterile room with healing potions. He was relieved to see that it became just that. He half-carried Alex into the room and levitated him up into the bed. He would have liked to have levitated him all the way here but that would have taken too much energy.

Once Alex was in the bed Severus raced around grabbing different potions and giving them to Alex to take. Alex grimaced every time. "Can't they flavor these things?"

Severus just sent him a glare before grabbing a cloth to clean away the dried blood. The coolness of the wet cloth did wonders to ease Alex's pain.

When he did everything he could for Alex his demeanor changed. He wanted to know who had done this to Alex. 'Who could hurt him this badly?'

"Alex, who did this to you?"

Alex remained silent. It still hadn't fully sunk in that Moony had just beat the crap out of him.

"Please Alex, I want to help you. Who did this?"

"You have to promise that you won't do anything to him. I don't want this getting out of hand."

"I can't promise that."

"You have to or I'm not telling you."

"Fine, I promise." Said the glaring Slytherin.

"Lupin. Remus Lupin. He said something about you being his mate and that if he couldn't have you then no one could."

"Damn him. That damn idiot. Last year he asked me out and I said no. I didn't know he was this crazy though. Must be the animal in him." Severus cringed when he realized what he'd said. He wasn't supposed to tell anyone. Dumbledore had practically threatened him to not divulge the wolf's secret.

"It's okay Sev. I already know about that." Sensing Severus' unease. "Look, I don't care what Lupin says. I'm not letting you go. I love you Sev."

Severus smiled and placed a gentle kiss on Alex's nose as his busted lip was still healing.

Back in 1997

"I got a letter back from Bill."

"Great Ron let me see it."

"I haven't opened it yet, let's read it together."

Ron,

I don't know why you'd be looking for information on him, but I suppose I'll tell you. Mainly because Hermione wants to know. Alexander Campione at first was just a slimy Slytherin. Nobody liked him accept his fellow Slytherins. I know he was on their quidditch team and that he was a good seeker. I think he had a boyfriend too. Most of the students didn't like him until the spring when he fought against Voldemort. Then everyone liked him. Everyone had thought he was a death eater until then. I think his boyfriend may have been Severus Snape but I'm not sure.

Bill

"Do you think he's right about Alex? I didn't even know he was gay." Said a shocked Ron.

Hermione grinned. "I knew. He never said anything but I could tell. I don't think he even knew yet."

Ron rubbed his face with his hand. "I can't believe this. Snape must have tricked him."

"Now, Ron, don't be prejudice. I doubt Professor Snape tricked him. It sounds very romantic, Harry falling for his most hated teacher."

"Bah!"

Back in 1977

After Alex fell asleep in the room of requirement Severus headed out to find a certain Gryffindor.

He looked in the great hall and noticed that none of the marauders were there for dinner so he headed outside. When he got outside he saw Remus Lupin standing by a tree near the lake. Severus was so angry that he broke out into a run.

"Lupin, you bastard, I should kill you for what you did to Alex."

Lupin's eyes flashed dangerously. "I told you before that I want you Snape. I didn't like him touching you."

"That's none of your business."

Lupin growled and seethed. "You may refuse me Snape but you will not have another. If I see Alex touch you ever again I will kill him. Not you, him. You've seen what I'm capable of."

Severus sighed when he realized what he would have to do. He stormed off heading for Alex.

"Alex, I .. I need you to go." His heart clenched as he said it.

"What do you mean go?" Alex's eyes widened.

"I can't see you anymore."

Alex felt like his world had ended. "You don't mean that. Tell me what's wrong."

Severus, who would rather be lonely forever, than see Alex get hurt again said the cruelest things he could think of. "I don't love you Alex. I never did. I was just intrigued because you were a time traveler. I must have lied when I told you I was a spy in the future because I never would be. I am a death eater and I like it."

"You .. No, you aren't. I don't believe you. You're under the imperious curse aren't you?"

"No, I'm not. Now leave me alone Alex. I don't want to continue this anymore."

Alex couldn't stop the tears from filling his eyes as he watched Severus storm out of the room. He didn't think he had ever felt so sad or depressed in his whole life. Here he was in a strange time with only Slytherins for friends and he just lost the man he loved.

For the next week Alex kept trying to get Severus back. Anytime they were alone together he would practically beg to know what had happened.

Finally Alex gave up.

At his next opprotunity he went to the headmaster.

"Have you figured out a way to send me back yet?"

"No, Alexander, I haven't. I think the best thing would be to think of ways that this dark lord could have killed you with a spell. You said he made it up but whatever he said must have been something that would have killed you had you not taken the potion. Obviously he didn't say the killing curse because you would have recognized it."

So Alex spent much of his time for the month of November searching the library. He read countless history books to read the different ways that people had died. Each time he found something promising he would owl it to the headmaster and the headmaster would tell him that it wouldn't be affected by any potions. After a month of searching almost every night he found something very promising. Back in the time of the founders Slytherin had found away to kill his victims that was very painful. He would reduce their age until before they were born.

Alex read over the incantation to change a person's age and saw that it was several words long and could very well be what Voldemort used. He said it would be painful and he is Slytherin's heir so that may be how he found out about it. He wrote a note for the Headmaster and went back to the dungeons.

The following day in potions the class made a potion that was almost like a drug. It would make you feel happy and carefree. It would make you feel that nothing was important. The potions professor decided that they should all experience it so they would recognize it in the future. Alex was working with another Slytherin, the keeper for the quidditch team. At the end of class everyone took the potion. Once everyone was feeling giddy they all started joking around. Slytherins and Gryffindors were laughing together like they had no cares.

Everyone was speaking loudly and that's when Alex overheard James talking. "Look at those silly, slimy, Slytherins. They've been right subdued since you threatened Snape, Remus. We haven't had to watch him and Campione snogging everywhere. Isn't that great?"

As everyone including Alex was under the affects of the potion he didn't really process what he had heard. He laughed with everyone else. Everyone left and headed for dinner. About halfway through dinner the potion wore off.

"Lupin did what?" He hollered, storming over to Severus. They had been sitting several people apart since they broke up.

Severus sat there shocked. He didn't know how to answer that. He still feared for Alex's life so he didn't say anything. Remus Lupin, whose potion still hadn't worn off yelled across the hall.

"I told Snape to leave you."

Alex glared at Severus and hissed, "And you did what he told you?"

Severus felt about an inch tall. "He threatened your life. I did what I had to."

Alex felt as though steam should be coming from his ears. He was about to hex Lupin or Severus when the headmaster got there.

"May I ask what has happened here?"

Alex, red-faced, answered. "Can we take this outside?"

The headmaster nodded and followed a fast moving Alex whose robes billowed behind him. Once they were outside Alex let out his frustrations.

"It appears the werewolf has some possessiveness issues. He apparently threatened my life because I was dating Severus."

"How did you know about that?"

"In the future it is more common knowledge."

"I see. We have seen this problem in his kind. There is a potion that will get rid of this trait of his. I will insist that he take it or be expelled."

"Thank you sir."

Alex wasn't sure if he could forgive Severus for the hurt he had felt this past month. He was sitting out by the lake when Sev approached him.

"Alex, I'm so sorry. I've been horrible to you. Can you ever forgive me?"

Emerald eyes met onyx. "I don't know. For the past month you've lied to me and it felt so real. I guess you would make a good spy. That is if you weren't really lying about that too."

"Everything I've said in the past month has been a lie. I didn't want you to die. I saw how badly he hurt you that one night and he said he could do worse."

The time traveler stood up and glared at his future teacher. "You hurt me worse than Lupin ever did." And marched off to his room. He quickly got into bed and pretended to be asleep incase Severus came looking for him.

When Severus came back to the dorm he sat in his bed and wrote a letter to Alex and placed it on Alex's nightstand before heading for the headmaster's office.

Back in 1997

Professor Snape finished grading the second year's essays and went for a walk down to the edge of the forest. An old elm tree stood at the edge and he approached, searching for something. "Ah, here it is." On the tree was a carving, reminding him it wasn't just a dream. "Alex and Severus love to last through time." He chuckled. It had been his idea to add the time part. They carved it the night before Alex left to go back. Severus traced the faded carving with his finger. "That was a beautiful day.
