Halloween Treat for Nimrod_9
Gift for: nimrod_9
From: rivertempest
Title: For Thy Sweet Skull Remembered
Pairing: Remus Lupin/Severus Snape
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: JKR owns the lot of them. Several lines from Shakespeare are quoted by Snape, so credits go to the bard himself for those.
Warnings: Bad use of Shakespeare?
Summary: Remus knew Severus had a weakness for sugar skulls.
Notes: nimrod_9, I hope this is to your liking. I haven't played with Snupin in ages, so I was happy to revisit them! Many thanks to D for the fast beta!
“Alas, poor Yaxley! I knew him well.”
Remus paused outside the door to the Potions classroom when he heard Snape speak of the long-dead Death Eater. Sensing no other presence, Remus peered into the chamber.
Severus was perched on a table like an overgrown raven, holding a sugar skull… and licking its colourful dome. He made smacking noises with his lips and returned its macabre grin. “Eye of newt, toe of frog,” he intoned. He licked the cranium again and deposited said items atop the skull.
Remus grimaced in disgust, realising he was too late to warn his partner about the tainted confection from Honeydukes. The effect of the contaminated sugar varied; apparently it made Snape believe he was Shakespeare.
“Wool of bat.” Severus plucked a bit of wool from his cloak, adding it to the mess. “And tongue of dog.”
Remus unconsciously slapped his hand over his mouth.
The noise drew Severus’ attention. “Thou com’st in such a questionable shape, Lupin.”
“Considering it’s Halloween and there’s a full moon tonight, I’d say you’re lucky I’m here at all.”
“Be thy intents wicked or charitable?”
Smirking, Remus slowly plucked the sugar skull from Severus’ sticky hands. “Quite wicked, I’m afraid.”
