He was waking up slowly, his mind fuzzed and unclear. His leg was in pain, but he had a pillow, and it felt like something was massaging his scalp. He could sleep some more. He was not in pain apart from his leg, even after transformation, but he felt drained. A bit more sleep would not harm him until the time comes for someone to unlock the cage. He stretched his arms to scoop the pillow…
His head, the whole upper body flew into the air. Felling of the message on his scalp replaced with a painful tug. Managing to stop just before his forehead meet the floor, Remus blinked dozily. His eyes opened wide as he noticed Snape crawling away with a hazy look in his eyes and horror written all over his face. Standing up and shaking the sleepiness Snape gave him one of his scorn gazes mumbling
“You are naked again…”
“Hardly anything I can do about it after transformation.” he smiled
“Yes.” drawled Snape ”May I ask why do you nuzzle your face to my…lap?”
“You make a nice pillow.”
“Find another pillow or tree trunk or a chair leg to hump, Lupin.” hissed Snape
“And I was hoping that we are making a progress.” Laughed ”I figure that Henry would mind.”
“I am certain that Henry would not mind, one way or another. How is your leg?” dryly replied Snape with a smirk
“It hurts, did I mauled it last night?”
“Don’t you remember?” Snape’s voice had a tilt of concern and he tried to remember what was happening last night. Pictures were blurry. Friend is unharmed whispered voice in his head and memories rushed back to him. Snape’s face shimmering in front of him while his snout tried to bite him, his mind screaming, not able to control his body.
“Merlin!” he jumped at his feet ”Did I hurt you?” his throbbing leg didn’t give him enough support and he started to slip down. He landed on Snape’s hands and nearly chuckled at the surprise on man’s face, guessing that catching him was more of an instinct than voluntary reaction.
“Where are your clothes?” asked Snape in grumpy voice
“Clothes?”
“Yes Lupin, clothes. You know, pieces of material to cover your body. I am fairly certain that you owe some. At least pair of underwear.” drawled Snape
“I…”
“Lupin, I refuse to put more balm on your leg while you are like this. Furthermore, I do not wish for Albus to barge in and find me holding you…unclothed.”
“They are in iron box.” he giggled, the whole situation was amusing
“Try to find your footing.” grumbled Snape, shifting him so he could lean against the wall. When he had the support of a wall, Snape walked to the box and retrieved his clothes.
“I can put the balm.”
“I know, but I have to check on a healing process. Try to remember as much as you can about last night.”
“I will do my best. Severus,” he paused ”did I…?” he choked
“I am fine Lupin, you didn’t scratch or bite me, obviously. Now, put some clothes on. I will contact Albus in the meantime.” sighed Snape and mumbled the password leaving him alone.
He tried carefully to lean on his leg, the pain was there but his muscles provided him with enough support. Putting his clothes on tried to make few shaky steps. He was limping but he could walk.
“Severus!” called ”I would appreciate if you let me out now.”
Snape emerged at the entrance, waved his wand and returned to the room. Slowly he limped to the other room. Snape was fussing around some notes spread on his bead.
“Albus will be here shortly, did you drink your potions?”
“What potions?”
“Really Lupin…” growled Snape ”Accio!”
The phials that were in the cage buzzed through the air landing in Snape’s hand. He shoved them in his hands
“One is a Pain numbing potion, one is Muscle repair potion and one is Blood replenish potion. Drink them all.”
“There was not much blood in the cage.”
“Didn’t you ever heard of Tergeo?” Snape arched his eyebrow ”I had no desire of spending the night in a cell full of blood.”
He nodded and gulped each potion without further questions, by now he knew better, and he trusted Snape enough not to question his actions too much. After all, the man was insane enough to enter into the werewolf’s den without a wand. Crazy enough to jab the silver dagger in a werewolf and fortunate enough to stay alive and unharmed. Giving a thought about it, he was not so certain that he would do the same if the situation were different. Then again, he had personal knowledge of the beast’s perspective, Snape obviously lacked in that knowledge or he would be more reluctant to do that. Would he? wondered, Snape was a type of person who would step into the fire fully aware that he would be burned.
“Lupin, take down your trousers and sit.” Snape’s voice snapped him out of the string of thoughts. He grinned
“Just a few minutes ago, you scoffed me for not wearing my trousers.”
“I also told you that I have to examine your wound.”
“Yes, yes you did. How forgetful of me.” he teased
“How does your leg feel?” Snape ignored provocation
“It hurts; the material does not leave pleasant feeling on the sore area. I limp, but it gives me sufficient support.” Snape nodded waiting for him to unbutton his trousers with a semi-disgusted look on his face, Remus almost laughed aloud. He lowered his pants, feeling silly and bit uncomfortable, with his trousers wrinkled around his knees while he lied on the bed.
Snape’s expression changed almost immediately spreading focused attention all over his face. A minute later Albus walked in the room and he bit his lip to stop the laughter looking at old wizards face
“Remus, Severus” greeted Albus with slight amusement chuckle in his voice
“Albus” squeezed suppressing the giggles
“Mhm” was Snape’s reply and he nearly punctured his lip biting harder.
Snape was probably unaware of sight before Albus’s eyes or he would not be so absent-minded in his reply or position. He could just imagine how the whole situation looked like from Albus’s perspective. He was lying sideways on the bed with his trousers pooled around his knees. Snape was crouching next to the bed, head bend over his leg, probing the flesh around the wound, trailing his fingers down the length of the muscle, checking for deep tissue damage. The wound alone was different from other scares, slightly reddish with a deep silver vein down his leg. Snape took a jar with balm and spread it around the entry point and along the silver line.
“Wait until is it soaked, and then you can dress up. Moreover, I will greatly appreciate if you stay dressed Lupin.” drawled Snape turning to Albus ”You will be pleased to know that wound is healed nicely, no internal damage and just a slight scarring. For the rest, Lupin can inform us both.”
“Thank you Severus.” hiccupped Albus
“Lupin, you can dress now. Do try to stay that way, some of my students starting to do Potions with their eyes closed and I am afraid that you even teach in the state of … au natural.”
“They keep their eyes closed so they don’t have to look at you, I’m afraid.” he chuckled and Snape looked at him with smile
“No need to look at me, they should focus on ingredients and potion they brew. Dunderheads should know that by now.”
“My boys. Remus do you feel strong enough to tell us how it went last night, from your perspective?” interrupted Albus. He sat on the bed with sigh
“It is hard to explain. I was scared, at one point I lost control.” he closed his eyes still shaken by the image and sensation of raging beast ”Wolf was the one with a clear head. But Severus, there is a part of the beast that is untamed and still very…”
“I am very well aware of that Lupin. Nevertheless, you did control your actions; otherwise, I would not be standing here.”
“I nearly bit you.”
“Yes, and if someone does attempt to do to you what I did, I pity his destiny. You went for me, not for Dobby and you did not even glance at Albus.”
“I could have…”
“It still would not matter; you do have your contract, do you?” he blinked at the man Is he insane? but Snape already turned to Albus ”The only thing left to do is break the Link. My work is done; I would appreciate if you approve his return to his quarters and give me back my solitude.”
Panic rose at those words, he started to chew on his cheek. The Wolf purred with approval his own mind refused to let go of the safeguard rope.
“I believe that Remus is disagreeing with your idea Severus.” Albus mildly pointed at him and Snape turned his gaze at him
“Do you have something to say Lupin?” he felt like a student under the Potion masters stare
“I don’t think that is smart, what if I…”
“If I were you, I would like to know how I react without a mental muzzle, for one. In 7 days, you are going to be on your way from here and by the time you leave, Link has to be broken. As well, as bind.” Snape swiftly looked Albus beneath the eye ”I did not plan to do it right away, you need to rest first so you have time to think about it. If you decide otherwise I will oblige, only…for the rest of your stay here. I am not allowing you to leave if the Link is not broken.”
“Why?”
“Why? Why?” sneered Snape ”Even you are not that dense Lupin. On the other hand, I might give you too much credit. If you cannot see the reason behind my words, consult your alternate personality. He will know.”
“Rest now Remus, I’d love to see you this evening and talk to you.” smiled Albus ”You will notify me about your decision then. And since Severus did inform the student body about your condition…”
“When?”
“Last night.” calmly replied Albus and Snape only smirked
“But he was with me, all evening and night, how could he…”
“How indeed, I wonder.” Snape sounded smugly sarcastic and the idea dawned on him
“You don’t think… He would not.”
“No! How…sweet…of you. He did come to … rescue … you. Noble indeed. Nevertheless, I would be careful Lupin he forgot the flowers.”
“But…but…. I am just too tired for this right now” he finally opted for the rest, his mind was swirling in a blizzard of thoughts.
“Go to your quarters Lupin, sleep on your decision and send me a note by Dobby when you make up your mind. By the time you wake up, house-elves will put your things back in your premises. Do leave the table in a small room; you do not need it for transformation anymore. I will come to you; you overstayed your welcome here.” Snape pushed him into a fireplace and thrown a handful of dust at him calling ‘Lupin’s room’
Blinking he landed in his room which looked cold and unwelcoming at this moment. Too tired to think he slumped on the bed and fell asleep.

“You could be nicer to him Severus” Albus scorned him the moment Remus disappeared in the fireplace.
“I do not feel particularly inclined to that anymore Albus.”
“He grew on you, didn’t he?” chuckled old wizard
“Yes,” he drawled ”like an ulcer. My part is done. You named him ‘my biggest research’ and you were right - he was. I finished my research and I can let my test pets run free.” turning his gaze on Albus he grinned ”Will you be kind to tell me what exactly did I do last night while I was locked in a cage with a werewolf?”
“You were nearly bitten. Escaped that predicament and after the danger was gone rushed me out your quarters, quite rudely I might add.”
“I will call it on the shock of being nearly bitten. If I were to myself, there would be no doubt, whether I was rude or not. My apologies Albus. And my double, what did he do? Alternatively, I could find out tomorrow morning in the gathering at the local waterhole.”
“Oh that!” chuckled Albus
“Yes, that.” he sat in one armchair offering other to Albus, tray with tea appeared on the table ”And?”
“You entered in your common room around 22:30.”
“Common room was full, of course.” he fought to hide the grin
“Naturally, and announced that there is a loose werewolf in school hallways and since you can’t find DADA professor you are going to hunt it down by yourself. You also told them that you don’t want to see them on hallways and that you don’t want to worry about them being bitten.” calmly explained Albus
“And they believe that?” gasped, that didn’t sound even one bit like him
“Of course they didn’t. Students are not stupid, Severus.”
“I beg to differ, do continue.”
“They called Bloody Baron and asked him if there is really a werewolf in school.”
“And Bloody Baron told them the truth.”
“Naturally. They send me a note informing me that they had an intruder in the Slytherin common room and asked if you are all right. They worried that something happened to their head of house. By the time I managed to get to Slytherin common room, plenty students put 2 and 2 together - that their DADA teacher is in fact werewolf in question. They asked me to look for you and be sure he didn’t hurt you in any way, knowing that you worked closely with him in past months. Draco floo-called his father to notify Auror office about Black breaching Slytherin common room.”
“They organized a rescue mission and a hunting party, and stayed in a dorm at the same time.” he could not hide pride from his voice ”It is nice to know they learned how to play to their strengths.”
“I expect that letters will start to arrive no later than this afternoon.”
“Why the pretences then? Lupin will have to vacant school grounds much sooner.”
“I’m afraid so. I will explain to him tonight and I urge you to be ready for dismantling the link.”
“Destroying something was always easier than building it, no preparations are necessary.”

Remus blinked, wide stripes of sunlight fell into a room and across his face. Blinking at the ceiling in confusion it took him few seconds to remember where he is. Memories rushed back and he groaned. Getting up he tested a muscle on his injured leg, muscles provided him easy support that was a good news. Walking around his room, he frowned; only now this room seemed small. When he arrived at Hogwarts, after dingy taverns and more often than he cared to remember tents or plain open sky, he had a stable roof over his head. You can’t afford to be picky. After so many years living from day to day, he had something he could count on.
He still had a job, and a roof over his head and supply of Wolfsbane Potion, he had no right to complain. Still, he hoped to stay a few days more in Hogwarts, spend some time with rest of the staff, talk more with Dumbledore, and play few more games of chess with Snape. He sighed, Sirius…Well, Sirius was just being Sirius, never thinking things through. A nagging voice in the back of his head, suspiciously sounding lot as if Snape’s, voicing his doubts. With a surprise, he discovered that he is angry at Black for his careless stunt, tossing himself on a bed, tried to battle those feelings - their friendship depended on one level on his ability to forgive. Finally, he decided to give himself some time. Wolf was growling in the back of his head and that was not easy to ignore. Calm down, he is a friend too, give yourself a time to know him. Wolf just growled again. Remus sighed, there was no use on pondering about things at this point, and he had to choose his course.
His things were back in the room, unpacked. Deciding that lingering in Hogwarts is impossible now, he was happy that at least packing part is done. He will tell Snape to break a link, say his goodbyes to Albus and spend few days in wizarding London before his job with Gringotts starts. With new determination, he stood up
“Dobby. Dobby!” called, little elf appeared with soft pop
“Yes Mr Lupin, sir.”
“Can you please tell Severus that I am ready, whenever he considers it a good time?”
“Ready for what sir?”
“He will know.”
“Anything else sir?”
“No Dobby, that is all. Thank you.” elf just nodded and disappeared again.
He took a parchment and scribbled a note to Dumbledore, loudly notifying another elf’s that not has to be delivered. Rummaging through his things, he decided that shower and fresh clothes are in order. Dobby popped up again
“Mr Lupin, sir. Professor Snape sends you a message; he will be at your place in one hour.”
“Thank you, Dobby. This is for all your troubles with me.” he smiled giving a galleon to the elf. Dobby widened his eyes
“That is too much Mr Lupin, sir. Dobby can’t take that.” squealed elf
“Yes you can, you deserved it.”
“But I jinxed your hair, sir!”
“And it was well deserved. Dobby, can I ask you for one favour?” elf nodded ”Can YOU take care of professor Snape for me? I know I failed in that promise to you, but I know that you won’t fail. Take care of him. And if he needs me, find me and bring me to him, no matter where I am. Can you do that?”
“Dobby can. Mr Lupin sir, you do care for professor Snape?”
“More than you imagine Dobby, more than even he can imagine.” he smiled ”Now, take this.” he forced a coin into the elf’s hand and turned to his trunk. He had enough time to shower before Snape arrives.
An hour later, he was sitting in small and not so comfortable armchair when his fireplace burst to life with green flames. Snape stepped into his room, looking menacing as always. Trying to cover up slight tremble, he smiled
“So, it is time.”
“I believe so.” calmly replied Snape
“What should I do?”
“Calm yourself, for one. Just sit there and relax, and look me in the eyes.”
“We going to do this now?”
“I do not see the reason for the delay, do you?”
“No, no I don’t. Yes, that is for the best I suppose.” he sighed and placed himself in the comfortable position. Thinking about first time, they did that, it was not painful, he didn’t even feel anything. Unlike real Legilimency this was not unpleasant or intrusive. Snape stand in front of him, looking at him from above
“Just relax Lupin I will not hurt you.”
“I know.”
“Legilimency.” whispered Snape.
