A/N: Huge, huge thank you to my alpha - Holdt and my beta - inviteme <3 <3 <3
Severus was brewing on the kitchen countertop, steering the fumes through the window, when light steps shuffled behind him. He held off the groan - he’d recognize those steps anywhere. Before the newcomer could even say a word he spoke.
“You may pour that sludge down the drain, Miss Granger.”
There was a sharp gasp behind his back, but he couldn’t just stop his steering to turn to his former student. And given the proximity of the next full moon, he took, against his own words, to brew a Wolfsbane potion.
Last full moon he spent shivering, warded so heavily that no spell could reach him, not even joint efforts of Dumbledore and Voldemort could. Lupin was howling and scratching the door. Next morning, Lupin looked worse for the wear, and he did admit that he had to bite himself a few times to control the beast’s urges. Not to mention, he had to repair the mauled door.
Setting the fire to simmer he finally turned to mouth-gaping Hermione Granger.
“Close your mouth, Miss Granger, it’s unbecoming of you.”
The girl’s jaw clank as she shut her mouth. After a few attempts to speak she finally found her voice.
“It is nice to see to you, Professor.”
“Lying, Miss Granger, was never one of your stronger suits. Lupin is not here. You may toss that rubbish into the rubbish where it belongs and be gone.”
“Many Werewolves are grateful for …” She started, setting her face in a too familiar grimace.
“Miss Granger, that sludge is efficient as it’s brewers. Now, you may come to gloat about Lupin’s misfortune on another occasion, preferably after I manage to leave this prison.”
“You are free, Professor.”
“That is a matter of opinion.”
“And why would I gloat? Remus has a pension, and a home and Wolfsbane and….we are setting a new division in the Ministry where the Minister plans to employ him…”
“I see. So you are willing to lend a friendly helping hand - but only...when it makes you look good in the public’s eye. Congratulations, Miss Granger - you will have a fruitful career at the Ministry.”
“That’s...that’s not true!!! We….”
“Then tell me, Miss Granger - where were you and your Hero reputation and your know-it-all ways when Lupin lost a custody of his child?”
Her jaw clinked once more, the expression of utter confusion on her face. “I...I thought…”
“Exactly. Leave now, Miss Granger.”
He turned his back to the girl. He could hear her retreating steps. With a frown, he gazed at simmering cauldron. He was more than a little disgruntled by the hypocrisy surrounding the new and improved government.
That didn’t help his frayed nerves. He did anything he could to nudge Lupin into reaction. And he failed. The only thing left for him to do was to walk naked around the house…
Well, that just might do the trick.
When Lupin came he replaced his slacks and T-shirt with boxer shorts. He accepted the necessity of getting used to wearing Muggle clothes - if he planned to live among them, that was one of the unfortunate but necessary downsides. But he never claimed to feel comfortable wearing them.
When Lupin entered home, he was on the renovated porch, one that Lupin built and enchanted so that he could be on the sun and not get burnt. How Remus managed to do that was beyond him, much to Severus’s disgruntlement.
He decided to go step further, sprawled in the long chair he took great pains to make some parts of him...not too visible but apparent. Pretending to read a book he waited.
“Severus, why is my potion tossed into the rubbish?” Came an almost angry growl from the kitchen.
“If you pay attention to the countertop Lupin, you’ll see that you have the potion at your disposal. One better brewed.” He replied loud enough to reach Lupin. He listened to the sound.
“I see. Thank you, Severus. Which one of our ex-students did you scare off now?”
“Miss Granger.” He replied. Lupin’s footsteps came closer to the porch.
“I do hope that you didn’t send her home in tears…” Words died on Lupin’s lips. Severus pretended that he read a book, looking over the page rim at Lupin’s expression.
“No. I do know how to deliver insult without making them cry.” he retorted with a generous smugness in his voice. Albeit, the smugness came from the fact that Lupin was changing colours and gulping more than anything.
“Severus,” Sigh in Lupin’s voice was a reward for his efforts “That...is not an...appropriate…”
“What are you on about, Lupin?” He lowered his book dramatically
“Your state of undress, it is not…”
“You asked me to be decent - I was. You pestered me to sit in the sun - I am. If I don’t know any better I’d say you sound like nagging, dissatisfied wife. Last time I checked - you are neither female nor in any relations to me, Lupin.”
“When I told you… Well… I thought I made it clear to you, Severus…”
“Yes, you are gay, so what? You are not going to persuade me that my state of undress has anything to do with that. Or do you consider me as one of the dunderheads?”
“No, Severus… I just…” There was the strain in Lupin’s voice.
“Then what?”
“Well, you see… I do find you attractive. I do know that you prefer women and I respect that but…”
“Are you insane, Lupin? You find this attractive?” He snorted, motioning on himself in a wide swipe of his hand “Attractive or simply out of options?”
“Call it what you like, Severus, but do get dressed - or I might not be responsible for my actions.”
“Very well.” He growled, but he felt satisfaction, his plan was working. “And do try to listen to your own advice next time, Lupin.”
“I don’t…”
“Try to know your target before you try to intimidate.” He smirked.
“Oh no, you won’t try to play the ‘gay’ card with me…” Remus growled grabbing him by the arm.
Severus tugged his arm from Lupin’s grip, narrowing his eyes at the man and replying in the cold even tone.
“The thought never crossed my mind. And don’t you dare to put your hands on me, Lupin - not if you are not good on your threat.”
With that Severus walked to his room.
Mission accomplished. He thought smugly, putting the robe on.
