Notes: Written for round 7 of daisychain_drab. It’s the third part of a sad fic I wrote two years ago, and like the first two parts it does not have a happy ending.
Severus knew he would have to face Remus again, but he hoped it wouldn’t be so soon after he left Remus’ office. Not even a month passed before Albus requested of him to join a secret meeting. Severus tried to decline, but the old man would not allow him to hide.
As he entered Grimmauld Place 12 he realised his hands were sweaty and his heart beat faster than normal. He wanted to turn around and leave before anyone saw him, but he was not able to move a muscle. Clenching his fist he looked around the house, glad to see that it had none of the glory he had been told about so many times before.
A door opened somewhere on the second floor and Severus heard someone walking his way. He stared at the stair, wondering who the stranger might be. He would soon get his answer when a familiar man walked down the stairs.
“Snape,” the older Black heir said with a glare.
“Black,” Severus answered. Severus did not like to be in the company of the man that had ruined his life in more ways than he could remember, but there was nothing he could do about it at that moment.
“Come to get your ass beat again by a thirteen year old again?” Severus chose not to answer and walked past him into the kitchen, only to regret his decision when he met Remus. The werewolf looked as shocked as he felt, but he at least did not have to feel sad since Sirius soon joined them.
“Look here Remus, old snivelly wants to join our side, isn’t that heroic of him?” Sirius said in a sarcastic tone. Angry Severus looked at his own feet.
“Can’t you just let him be Sirius?” the werewolf said. Severus did not want the man that broke his heart twice to fight the battles for him, so he lifted his head and gave Sirius the darkest stare he could manage.
“You don’t need to speak for me Lupin, it’s not like I can’t defend myself.” He did not look at Remus as he spoke; he dared not when his heart was still fragile. “It doesn’t surprise me Black still holds a grudge against me, I completely understand how he loathes me since I, a man with a mark on my arm, have been free for a decade while he was locked up.”
“Watch your tongue in my house Snape.” Severus knew Sirius most likely did not like that Severus was in his house, but there was nothing he could do about it. “I can of course see why Dumbledore thinks we can use you, not everyone is willing to sell their soul to a madman. Tell me, what’s the price for a pathetic soul like yours?” Severus did not want to cause any trouble, but he could not help himself and pulled out his wand.
“Men!” Remus called out while moving between them. “This is not the time to fight, not when the world’s safety is at stake, as well as Harry’s.” Severus has learned not to care about the first, and he never did care about the second, which made hexing Sirius that much easier.
“Yes Remus, you’re right, I’m doing this for Harry. But who are you fighting for Snape; your cauldron?” He could have chosen to ignore Sirius, but he did not wish to let him think he had won. With his free hand he pushed Remus out of his way and sent a simple, yet powerful, spell against Sirius and sent him crashing into the wall.
“Severus!” Remus shouted as he ran over to Sirius, who seemed to be unconscious. “Why do you allow yourself to be taunted by his childish games? I thought you had grown up.”
“Black has been a menace since we first met, I’ve always been able to ignore his behaviour.” Severus felt his pulse quicken and had to stop talking.
“Then why didn’t you control yourself now?” The ignorance in Remus’ voice hurt Severus in more ways than he thought possible.
“I was a boy Remus, which you used and disposed as you saw fit. You left me then for this muck, and betrayed me again just a month ago. Do you know just how much pain you have brought upon me? Do you know just how much you broke the first time?” He could see that Remus was not prepared for that question.
Remus did however answer him. “I was just a boy back then, I made a mistake. If I could go back and change it I would.” Severus did not believe him.
“Did you change your mind before or after Black was sentenced?” He felt tears run down his face. “Admit it; you just used me because I was weak. I knew it could probably never last, but I did not think you would simply destroy a boy because of a better offer, a boy who had gone through his life broken.” Severus did not like to complain about his life, but he could not pretend like it was a dance on roses.
“I knew I made a mistake before the death of James and Lilly, I knew it as soon as school was over, but I feared you would not speak to me after what happened.”
“Is this what you tell yourself to feel better? I do not think you know just how much I loved you, how much I’ve suffered. You might think I’ve grown and forgotten, that my scars have healed, but they have not, I’m still bleeding.”
“Severus, what happened in the shack was not what it looked like, I did not go back to him a second time.”
“Save it Lupin, I’m not in the mood to discuss your choices. Tell Albus I went home for a well deserved holiday, and will return a week before school starts. If I’m lucky I’ll have a month left which I can spend without an interruption.” Severus turned around and walked out the kitchen door. He didn’t get very far when he felt a soft hand on his shoulder, stopping him from leaving. Severus knew it was a mistake, that he should walk away from the werewolf before he lost all control, but he could not force himself to go.
“Severus, please don’t do this, I love you.” Severus closed his eyes, wishing Remus could have kept that information to himself. “What happened in the shack was not what it looked like, I was just glad to see an old friend who I believed was the reason behind so much pain.”
Slowly Severus turned around and stared into Remus’ eyes. He wasn’t a fool and saw the young wolf was honest.
When Remus smiled Severus’ heart melted all over again, and for a few seconds he thought maybe they could try again. But then everything was destroyed all over again when Sirius moaned. Remus quickly turned his head and began walking towards his old friend.
Quickly Severus spoke before the werewolf could leave. “You did not hear me when my heart screamed in pain, but you hear him when he makes a pathetic sound.” Remus turned and was about to say something, but Severus beat him to it. “When I get home I’ll find a way to wipe every memory I have of us together, I don’t see the point in going around with this pain anymore, not when I know for a fact that time does not heal all wounds.”
“Severus, please don’t leave, I want to be with you.” As much as Severus wished it was true and they could work through their problems he knew it was not a good idea.
“Bye Remus,” he said, smiling one last time to the man that had been his lover before leaving the house. Right before he disapparated he heard Remus call his name, but it was too late.
