It was three days to the Full Moon and Remus was restless. Up since a couple hours to dawn, he'd already broken his fast hours earlier and yet, still found himself pondering the merits of a couple egg salad sandwiches as he scanned the muggle papers for potential positions in the study. Really, it was that lycanthropic appetite which had him growing more concerned about the lack of any position. He was unsure exactly how much longer Severus could continue to support the eating needs of six werewolves, two still growing young men, and himself ( ... )

Draco looked up sharply at the entrance of Remus and didn't bother to answer. There were bigger problems at stake. Namely the fact that Draco found it to be a distinct possibility that he would faint at any moment.

The headline still seemed like the worst part. Draco knew it would get worse, though, and Skeeter didn't disappoint. Lovers? Him and Potter . . . lovers? Okay, so maybe in Draco's wildest, most unattainable dreams, but the reality wasn't anywhere close. They weren't even friends. That, however, Draco could deal with on his own time.

Seeing in writing the implications that Draco was sleeping with Potter, romantically involved with Potter made his stomach twist unpleasantly enough. Seeing in writing the words 'moving in together' made Draco's head spin.

His parents would see. Oh fuck his parents would see. And who knew who else? Severus! Bloody fucking hell Severus would see. Had he already seen ( ... )

"Who? Severus ( ... )

Indeed, Severus had already seen said article, having briefly scanned the paper before heading down to his lab. Rather than make him livid, he had been highly amused. Well--he had been a bit annoyed on Draco's behalf, and that protective instinct he harboured (and attempted to keep hidden) had risen enough to contemplate various entertaining ways to cause all of Skeeter's hair to fall out at an embarrassingly inopportune moment. For the most part, however, he had read the article with surprising equanimity, even as concerned himself ( ... )

Theo yawned as he came into the kitchens, rubbing his eyes blearily. Apparently everyone else was up as well.

He caught sight of the paper over Draco's shoulder as he moved past him--and choked.

Oh, shit.

"Draco," he sputtered, "What the bloody hell is that?"

He needed tea. Right bloody now.

Giving her head one last good towelling off, June tossed the towel over the corner of the bed and ran her fingers perfunctorily through damp hair. Twisting it into a messy knot at the base of her neck, she slid her glasses into place on her nose and headed down the hall to the kitchen, where her nose told her that someone, at least, had already started breakfast. Her ears had amended that to 'several someones', though the walls and the sound of dishes and things being moved about prevented her from making out what was being said. She came into range of the open door just in time to catch ( ... )

As if things couldn't get any worse, Remus had no idea what was going on, Severus had no idea what was going on, Theo looked fit to shit bricks and now June was here as well.

Oh, there was definitely going to be some passing out soon. Not that Draco could afford it. He might, he mused as he looked around the kitchen, have been able to put off telling Severus. After all, the man didn't know and what he didn't know wouldn't hurt him. But Draco knew it would come out eventually, the likelihood of Severus having the story confirmed was pretty high and Draco . . . well, he thought he'd be better off telling him now.

"It's a bloody Skeeter article," Draco said waspishly. "Detailing my sordid relationship with our resident Boy Hero. Severus, I need to talk to you. Er, please? Alone?"

He looked over at the man nervously and he didn't want to do this. He really didn't.

Glancing up at Theo as he entered the room, Severus was still casting Draco a very smug expression.

"That, Theo, is what happens when the Malfoy Scion spends too much time with the Boy Hero. People with a vacuum where their brain ought to be, find nothing better to do than invent wild tales. 'Lovers'. Honestly ( ... )

Theo took a fortifying gulp of tea and glanced after Snape bewilderedly.

"He doesn't...?" he asked Draco, puzzled, and then realized with absolute horror.

Snape made very strong tea.

He coughed slightly and reached for the milk before he realized the 'trouble' that he was in--or would be soon, if Draco put two and two together. The giggling girls when they were shopping? Theo's presence?

Hopefully he wouldn't. Draco could be rather dense, right? Theo smeared some butter and jam on toast and abandonded the so-called tea, heading for the door.

"I've got a cooking lesson with Padma Patil," he told everyone in general. "I'll be back later."

Much, much later.

Hopefully after Snape exploded and thus distracted Draco's fury.
