In cage with a werewolf
His head was pounding. Classes were a disaster, some second-year Hufflepuffs sMuggled food that fell into cauldron causing a volatile reaction. The sixth year Slytherin tried to brew Amortentia in secrecy while working on potion he gave them as a task, resulting in absolute disaster and puff of smoke that caused unlikely couplings among Advanced Potions students. The whole class was at Infirmary, and he was happy that he did not do anything inappropriate considering that he inhaled fumes as well.
He smirked, at least one good thing happened today. He entered his quarters, longing for a long soak and maybe a game of chess or a good book. All his hopes dispersed when he nearly stumbled on Remus, looking grim. He sighed Today I really cannot catch a break thought when Remus shoved him to the nearest bookshelf blocking his way.
“Remus, I am in no mood today.” Remus gave a deep intake of breath and he started to worry.
“You. Lied. To. Me.” growled Remus, sniffing the air. Snape looked at him, he felt tired. With a hint of panic, he realized that his clothes are probably soaked in fumes. Sliding a wand in his hand, he checked the link, even if he could not read thoughts, the link did provide him with an echo of emotions. He relaxed a bit, sliding back his wand, Remus was just mad” he could handle mad.
“You repeat yourself, Remus. Found more phials in my workroom?”
“I found part of your wall missing. I found this letter on your desk.” Remus angrily stepped away and waved a parchment in the air, then sniffed air again. Snape hastily stepped away from Remus putting as much space between them as possible without raising a suspicion. He stared at him with angry glare
“Who gave you permission to rummage through my personal correspondence?” Snape felt murderous, he was truly mad. In all honesty, madder at himself for forgetting to ward his table than at Remus ”You violated my trust and went through my personal things. Or is this your idea of ‘friendship’ you try to inflict on me. You are mad at me!? You flea riddled filthy mutt.”
Forgetting why he backed away, With each word, he made a step closer to, now backing Remus, wand in hand. Remus was retreating still wearing stubborn look on his face
“You lied again; you told me that you don’t have friends.”
“I told you I do not need friends, you mutt.” hissed
“But you have friends, at least one!” shouted Remus.
“You think Macnair is my friend?” he suddenly started to laugh. This day is just too long. He summoned Firewhiskey and glass; poured a half of the glass and sit in armchair If I stay standing I will curse this mutt to oblivion.
“You told me that ‘decorations’ were yours!” protested Remus
“I did no such thing.”
“Not in so many words, but…”
“As usually Remus, you assumed. That is what you do” you assume and you jump to conclusions.” retort coldly
“You have correspondence with your friends.”
“I have no need nor desire to justify to you what I do or not do. That is my private matter.”
“A friend would know.”
“As I told you before, I have no use of friends Remus stop insisting on impossible.”
““Severus, thank you for safe keeping my collection. I am in debt to you. Your faithfully Walden”what do you call this?”
“A letter. MINE letter, one that you had no business reading.” Remus sighed, poured himself a drink and occupied the second armchair. Snape gave him a swift glance wondering Why I am sitting here? Why I do not hex into oblivion his miserable scruffy…
“I don’t understand.” Remus sounded broken
“What is so incomprehensible to you? Besides the concept of privacy, that is.”
“If you were not his friend, why would you keep his collection?”
“He owes me a favour now.” shrugged Why he is incapable of understanding such simple things as this?
“And you are certain that you can…collect?”
“Most presumably so. Why would I otherwise did such a thing?”
“‘Most presumably s’”? If he owes you, why would not fulfil his obligation?”
“That depends, what I ask and when. He will go for the most beneficial request, of course.”
“Most beneficial request?”
“Lupin you are turning into an echo. Will you get to the point anytime soon?”
“How can you claim that you do not have a need for friends when you don’t know what true friendship is?”
“Oh! Then you must be claiming that you do know?” Snape regarded him with sarcastic look and a smirk
“As a matter of fact, I do. I had friends, good ones’.”
“If you want to name Potter, Black and Pettigrew do not even bother. They were your friends same as I am. I retract that, I would even go as far as to claim that I am a better friend to you than they ever were. And I am NOT your friend at all.”
“You base your opinion on…?” grumbled Remus through gritted teeth
“On facts.” hissed ”Was Black your friend when he sends me into your den? Was Potter your friend when choosing Black and Pettigrew (as we now know) over you as a Secret keeper? Was that excuse of a human being when he sold all of you out? If that is what you call ‘true friendship’ than I do not see how anyone would want friends at all. Admit at least to yourself Lupin, you never had them as ‘true friends’. You were just new, exciting and dangerous toy.”
“Do you consider Macnair, Avery, Malfoy and all the lot a ‘true friends’.”
“Unlike you, I never dawdled myself on illusions. Macnair works at the Ministry, it is a low position but useful one nonetheless. He is useful.”
“But that is…how can you be even in contact with him? He’s so…Slytherin.”
“I AM SLYTHERIN!” Snape rose from the armchair, towering Remus threatening” A Head of Slytherin House. And you are MY … ah, let’s call you an unwanted guest… in MY DUNGEON.”
“I know that…”
“Do you? I wonder.” he paced to the bookshelf, his head was throbbing. He gripped one board in an attempt to prevent himself from seriously injuring Lupin. His heart racing, threatening to collapse him any moment
“I’m sorry for upsetting you this much Severus. Yes, you are right; I do tend to forget that you are Slytherin.” murmured Lupin, Snape snapped his head at him
“That is a mistake you out not to make, not if you want to keep your life.” hissed. Remus was rubbing his forehead tentatively
“I have a headache.”
“Oh, joy! We are sharing now!” stated, curling his lips in a disgusted smile. He approached the small table and downed his drink. ”I am going to take a bath Remus, try not to touch anything that arrived. Not if you value your life.”
“Another batch of hexed things?”
“No, this time the pleasure will be all mine.” he gritted his teeth and walked away.
In the bathroom, he summoned a pain-numbing potion and drank the whole phial. Started to remove his clothes pondering on the idea to incinerate them, suddenly he became aware that he is not alone. Sprung around just to see Remus standing on the bathroom door sniffing the air
“You smell…funny.”
“What did I told you Lupin. GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM!!!” bellowed, but to his horror, Remus stepped in
“You do smell funny, not your usual self.”
“It is disturbing enough that you know how I … smell. Leave the bathroom Lupin, now!” but Lupin was advancing slowly sniffing the air, annoyed he mumbled ”Prohibere”. Lupin froze on the spot
“You suppose to use the link to stop me from harming you, you know.” purred Lupin and Snape growled, levitating Lupin outside the bathroom
“As I am. I am preventing you from permanently damaging my mind. Image of you making advances to me is not a nightmare I am looking forward too.”
“I’m not making advances to you. You just smell…”
“ENOUGH!!!” yelled and closed the bathroom door, warding them. He heavily leaned to the door. Angrily removed rest of the clothes and mumbled Incendio watching them burn. This is why Potion Masters do not have roommates, sighed two more full moons, just two more.
Standing under the shower, he released Lupin of the links holds. As Lupin banged on the door, he leaned a forehead on the stone, banging it softly against a hard surface, certain that no amount of potion could help him with his headache now. Disgruntled, suddenly realizing that tonight he would have to sleep in the bathroom. Tossing a glance at his left forearm he sighed I should've used this smartly, like finding myself nice quiet cell in Azkaban. Choosing ‘the right side’ my eye, it only landed me in this predicament lamented while hammering in his temples increased.

Few more day passed. Standing in the laboratory Remus was darting his eyes from Snape to Dumbledore and back. He could feel the shivers, but he could not tell if it is fear or anger. Snape was adamant in his decision and Dumbledore seemed to support it. Are they both gone insane?
“No, I refuse. Severus if anything, ANYTHING goes wrong,…are you aware of the consequences?”
“Since, I was in sixth grade.” Remus winced
“Yes, and since that went so well for you, what? You want to repeat the experience.”
“Remus, I would not repeat the experience. You are under the influence of two strong potions, that I brew myself. I am quite confident at my potions and my skill. Besides, I would not be alone Albus will be with us.”
“If I attack you…”
“I am in no bigger danger than I was putting my hand in your cage. One bite, one scratch would suffice.”
“My boy…” tried Albus but he cut him off….
“Severus, I know we became friends,…”
“Wishful thinking does not make it so Remus.” sighed Snape” More to the point, your agreement is not needed. There is no need for your agreement. Honestly. Albus, we proceed as planned.”
“I refuse…”
“Remus, you can save yourself a trouble and agree. Alternatively, I can force you to it. It is up to you to decide, given the options. If you are going to excuse me, gentlemen, I have some preparations to make.”
Severus turned on heel and walked out of the room. Remus looked at Albus, hoping that at least old wizard is going to see the reason
“Albus, if I… if you don’t react on time…”
“My boy, I trust Severus without any doubt. You should too.”
“I trust him,” he exclaimed irritably, Albus looked at him half-amused” I do not trust myself.”
“I believe that Severus has a way of … controlling you. He would not put himself in danger…”
“But don’t you see Albus? He would! He would do exactly that.”
“Let me rephrase that, Severus is not a man who would put himself in danger without having an escape plan.”
“Couple a months ago I’d agree with you but now…, if I learned anything about Snape is one thing…for him danger is an invitation, not a barrier.” signed. This was lost battle but he still had a need to fight
“He does have more of Gryffindor traits than one would presume.” chuckled Albus” Don’t dismiss the fact that Severus is still Slytherin, first and foremost.”
Voice in Remus’s head whispered
“Trust a friend. We won’t hurt a friend.” Remus sighed.
“I refuse to go through this.” exclaimed Remus much to the voice in his head as to Albus.
“That is no longer your choice.” cold voice behind his back retort. He turned around to face stern looking Snape. In two agile steps, Snape was next to him ”You brought this upon yourself remember that.” growled Snape and hit him hard on his jaw.
Remus stumbled few steps clenching his jaw. Before he managed to react, wolf part of him took over.
“You hit.” grumbled, Albus looked genially surprised
“I did, I need your help.”
“I help a friend.”
“Take him to the cage and keep him there.” Wolf nodded and Lupin’s features changed. With horror, Remus discovered that his body is moving without his control. In a fit of sheer panic, he glanced at Albus
“Don’t make me do this.” almost pleadingly called. His body took him to the cage. No matter how much he fought, it was as if he pinned himself to the floor.
~ SS ~ RL ~ SS ~ RL ~
Snape followed Lupin with Dumbledore at his heel. Charming one armchair along the way to place it for the old wizard in the front part of cage room.
“Albus you just sit here and try to react as fast as you can if something goes wrong.”
Old wizard nodded silently. Snape took off his cloak and neatly folded it placing it on the ground. Unbuttoning his right sleeve, he removed wand holster with his wand still in it and hand it to the Albus. Fixing his sleeve back he looked at old wizard
“Wards will let me move through them, but I still have to open the cage door. I do not know if the link will work, be ready.”
“Do you expect trouble?” asked Albus
“No, if nothing I expect him to be more … human … then he was in past weeks. But this is all theory. If my assumption proves to be correct, you may retreat to your quarters.”
“Are you sure?”
“If I am not in the danger in first half hour, I will not be in danger at all.” he stepped to the cage entrance and turned ”Albus, did you ever witnessed the transformation?”
“Why do you want to know?”
“It is…disturbing…sight. Even for me. If you do not think, you can handle it…” he stopped as Albus raised his hand
“I am grateful for your concern my dear boy, but I will be all right. I witnessed transformation with and without potion before. I presume that this one will be less violent.”
“I would not bet on that.” sighed Snape, he was still taken aback by the fact that his potion did not relieve most of the painful and violent aspects of transformation. Silently he nodded and entered the cage, closing the door behind.
Remus still frozen on the spot did not move. He was looking at Snape with pleading eyes. Suppressing fear, Snape snapped at him
“Nothing you do or say would change this, Remus. Grow a spine already. If I were you, I would remove my clothes that is if you do not want it in shreds. I believe that there is no need to tell you how little precious time you have for that.”
His words had an impact on the frozen man in front of him. With apology and sadness in his eyes, wearing a look of the condemned man, Lupin started to remove his clothes. His back turned to Snape. He chooses a moment when to develop at least some notion of modesty thought Snape still fighting desire to run from the cage this is not the time for wavering he sternly reminded himself. Lupin curled in the furthest corner of the cage, as far away from him as possible.
Soon Lupin started to shake, falling to the side. Snape could see his jaw tightly clenched in an attempt to hold of screams. Lupin’s body started to contort violently accompanied with loud, and familiar, crackling of the bones. Snape forced himself to keep a calm expression on his face, detached look in his eyes. Feeling torn between notion to flee and the notion to approach Lupin and at least attempt to help. Using all that he could conjure up of his will to stay motionless.
As transformation approached the final stage, Lupin abandoned his valiant attempt to remain silent and screamed. Screams filled the room and Snape's face grimaced, he could bear the sight but that scream was a reminder of his own personal failure. Looking at the twisted form in front, not human but still not an animal, he was certain that long list of thing that haunted his nightmares was now even longer.
Finally, screams turned to whimpers and howls. The werewolf was lying on the floor, still facing the wall. Snape moved, praying that his feet carrying him toward the transformed Lupin and not to the cage’s exit.
“Lupin. Remus,” he called softly in a low voice. Animal’s ears turned towards him but body retracted to the wall. Gaining a bit of confidence from that movement, he proceeded toward the wolf “Remus, are you alright?”
He was now only a few steps away. Suddenly werewolf stands up, straightening to its full height. Severus Snape was by no means a small man, but werewolf was higher than he was. Suddenly, beast exploded in a blur of a motion scrambling against the wall than rushing past him, nearly knocking him down, toward the opposite end of the cage. Snape jerked, and then spun around, turning his back to the animal and facing Albus, stretching one arm in motion that should signal Albus not to react.
He turned to face a wolf again; werewolf had the appearance of the terrified animal. He made one careful step, holding his arm stretched in front, palm facing down. He slowly advanced, as if he is trying to approach a untrusting dog I do hope that you do not hold this against me Lupin.
“Remus, I know you are here. I would not harm you, and I know you would not harm me. Let me prove it to you. Let me come near to you.” he whispered in a calm voice. Lupin was still fixating him, eyes full of terror ”You will not harm me. I have trust in you. You did not bite my hand, and you will not bite me.”
Beast crouched then made one small slow motion toward him. He nodded approvingly and made another step forward
“Just, let me touch you. Remember how you fell asleep on my hand. This is no different. Just prove to Albus that you will not harm me. He will go and I can read you a book. I took a liberty of choosing another book for us, another great Muggle novel.” werewolf looked at him with curiosity and made another step forward.
With a corner of an eye, he noticed Albus standing up, wand at ready. Fighting a need to warn Albus, hoping that old wizard will not disturb the beast or force it to the scared reaction he continued to talk.
“Just relax Remus, I know you are with us, I can see it in your eyes.”
Werewolf twitched his ears and cautiously stepped toward him, outstretching his snout to sniff the offered hand. Snape felt that his breath is hitched in his chest, the rush of blood humming in his ears as heart pumped insanely. Pushing through rising and now almost overwhelming panic and fear, he made another step forward. He reached a link in his mind, hoping that link would suffice if anything goes unplanned his first line of defence.
Beast was close now, close enough. He froze as wet snout touched his hand. It was a familiar feeling. Then unexpected emotion of reassurance and safety washed over him, emanating from the link. His eyes widened. The link did not work that way, he could feel the faint echo of strong emotions, but this was different. A direct message and somehow Wolf or Lupin did send him those feelings. So this is the one of those ‘others possibilities’ scroll hinted.
“I understand. I am not afraid of you. Now, let me touch you Remus.” whispered.
Beast slowly slid its huge head beneath his hand, nuzzling it. Snape was fascinated, fur was sharp and he could feel skin beneath it. He stroked werewolf’s head, one low growl escaped but tail waggled. Just like a dog. He continued petting the beast.
“Do you want us to read now Remus?” asked and beast nuzzled his head against him, bumping his chest” Alright, then let me get it.”
Snape did not even notice that he was smiling, grinning, would be a better description. Fear that he felt all these years alleviated. He walked to the place where Remus left his clothes, signalling Albus that he can go. With slight discomfort, Snape noticed that Albus have an odd smile and twinkle in his eyes, but Albus's eyes were twinkling every so often and he decided to dismiss it. He pulled a book and duvet from the hideout and walked back to the place where werewolf lied down. Placed duvet on the ground and sit on it. Remus/wolf snuggled next to him, placing a head on the duvet, pawing on the ground for him to continue with stroking fur. Just like a dog.
“All right, all right. This is one of my favourite Muggle books. Written by Franz Kafka ‘The Trial’.” wolf settled comfortably next to him. Placing one hand on the beast's back, he began to read.
