I am not a pet owner

Lupin felt like a bludger hit him in the head. Taste in his mouth was foul. Was he drinking last night? It felt like hungover, but could not remember drinking last night. Feeling the pain in the crumbled position he stretched and yelp as his feet and hands slammed into the wood. Sniffing the air, deduced that he is not in his own room. The head was pounding. With still closed eyes, he swung legs to the floor and sat.
“Merlin” mumbled still trying to remember, head filled with cotton balls. Lupin sniffed air again” lavender, chamomile and … cheddar. Snape! Eyes opened in panic. He found himself sitting on a tiny sofa in Snape’s quarters. With no windows, it was hard to determine the time of the day. The fireplace was still roaring, warming up the room and drying the dumped air.
“Uuuuuuugggggghhhhhhhhh” throbbing in head enhanced, still disorienting him.
“You passed out in an armchair.” Snape’s calm voice floated from one of the armchairs. Clearing the throat, snapped at his host
“So you packed me in this wand box.”
“I had to tend to my potions during the night, and I did not want to trip over you. Where do you suggest I place you? My bed?!”
“I should be grateful for not dumping me in the hallway, I guess.” mumbled
“Indeed, you should. I would appreciate if you leave now. No need to come to my chambers tonight, I will bring potion to you.”
“Thank you.” growled and get up walking toward the door
“Where do you think you are going?” Snape rose from the armchair, with treating tingle in his voice
“Leaving”
“Looking like that? At this time of morning? From MY premises?” Snape’s face almost had an expression of shock” Use the floo.”
“In Hogwarts …”
“Dumbledore connected our rooms and infirmary; I informed him about potion effect. Use the floo.” Snape’s voice was adamant. Lupin shook his head, which retaliates in sharp pain and more throbbing, standing in fireplace he smirked
“I am wondering…no…I would expect of you to use at least some of those ‘decorations’ on me.” before disappearing he thought to hear Snape mumbling to himself ”I was considering it, but then again you might enjoy it, really unsettling thought.”
Landing, not so elegantly, on the floor of his room confusion grabbed him. Did he hear right? Not even sure that Snape did say what he thought, might just imagine the words. Getting off the floor, headed straight to the bathroom. Hot water relaxed the muscles and shouted the nerves.
Let give a test to those heightened senses of mine. Enjoying the warmth of hot tub, he let go of his hold. Sounds and smells hit him again. Intensity was somewhat diminished but his head started to spin once again
… scratching noises in the walls and mouse squeals …
… the smell of earth soaked with moist …
… house elf humming while working …
… remaining kids laughing playing wizard's chess …
… lavender, chamomile, cheddar …
… Snape!!!
Lupin opened his eyes gasping for air. Looking at the cold darkness of obsidian eyes. He shivered; the floor was cold and wet. Floor!? With the hint of panic, he fumbled, to find something and cover himself. Snape stood up and tossed him a towel, wearing a grimace of disgust and annoyance.
“Who would guess, Remus Lupin is shy.” smirked sarcastically
“As I recall Snape, the fireplace is in the room, not bathroom. What are you doing here?”
“Saving you.” a hint of lament in the voice ”You fell asleep in the bathtub.”
“That still not answers to my question, not that I am not grateful.”
“Albus is having time of his life, apparently, using me as an owl. He sent me to convey his satisfaction with reaction to the potion, and…asked me…to check up on you.”
“I am fine.”
“Yes. I can see that.” sarcastic sneer. Snape’s hands reached and grabbed him, pulling him up. For its frame, Snape was strong. Cotton balls filled Lupin’s head again; wobbling toward the door, as he tried to uphold at least some mirage of dignity. Feeling highly embarrassed by the situation, tightening the towel around hips, he nearly collapsed again. Two strong arms gripped him again, as he slipped into unconsciousness.
Once more, for the second time, this day consciousness returned slowly to Lupin, filling his head with hazy fog. Still drifting in half sleep, he heard voices.
“It is good for your research Severus.” heard Albus's voice muffled by the floo ”It will be good for you too.”
“I am not a medi-witch Albus, and if I have to take care of that mutt all the time, MY research… my REAL research… will suffer.” Snape sounded displeased
“HE IS your research, the biggest and the most important one”
“What am I supposed to do with him? Train him, teach him how to fetch, take him to a walk 3 times a day? I am not a pet owner.” Lupin shivered listening to venom spilling from Snape’s words, feeling like a hard heavy rock pressing his chest
“No, you are not, but your portion is an asset to our cause Severus, I do not have to remind you of that. Do I have to remind you that you owe me…”
“I know that Albus. Very well, I will do that, but Albus… One day, my debt to you will be repaid.”
“To me…perhaps, but you are not doing this for me and you know it.”
“Albus!” hissed Snape dangerously.
Is he really going to pick a fight with Dumbledore? Remus started to moan and conversation stopped. Snape was next to the bed, he felt soft cold hand on a forehead
“Next time, I’m letting you drown” Severus sounded annoyed
“Thank you.” Lupin grabbed Snape’s hand and squeezed it before sinking into much-needed sleep.

Looking at Lupin, he frowned. This was not his plan; his plan was elegant and subtle. Now his carefully designed plan had no meaning. Now, on top of all, he was humiliated, even more, downgraded to werewolf’s medi-witch.
Looking around the tiny room, Snape frowned again. Some unpacked books, two rather shabby suitcases not fully unpacked. Merlin, he is living like Muggle soldier. Room was in depressing, beige and brown, shades. The man on the bed moaned and he looked at Lupin almost with curiosity.
Lupin from his school days was sickly looking, thin but handsome without a doubt. This Lupin was different; the skin was yellowish, dark circles around his eyes, with an aura of permanent exhaustion around him. Sandy hair had too many greys for his age. Lupin had the appearance of a person battered with problems. A person living its life in constant pain. The old man gave me a hell of a task this time. On top of all that, appointed to take care of someone he wanted as far away as possible. Humiliated once more by Dumbledore’s lack of sensitivity. Like he did not already have his hands full watching over the Potter menace.
With deep displeasing high, Snape examined both chambers appointed to Lupin. Frowned at weak wards on one of them, then summoned house elf asking for some books and a tea. It was time for devising a new plan, the prospect of that did not make his mood any better, considering that answer was simple and staring at him from the beginning. No matter how he tried to circumvent it, the answer was still the same. For the rest of the day, Lupin was in and out of slumber. That was far from the peaceful day for Snape. Lupin was moaning in his sleep, screaming even when nightmares caught up with him, but mostly just mumbling with fear”No, I can’t,…lavender, chamomile, cheddar…I can’t,…”. Snape was more than a little baffled with that mumbling.

It was nearly dinnertime when Lupin finally drifted back from yet another nightmare to reality. Soft whispers filling the room
“Albus this will not go to work.”
“My dear boy…”
“Where am I going to sleep? He lives in a shoebox!”
“Did you consider other options? Perhaps…”
“I did, and I discarded them. That is an invasion of my personal space, not to mention my peace. Even more so, to put Gryffindor in MY dungeon? In Slytherin? On rumours that will start, I do not even wish to conceive! Do you really have agenda to ruin me completely? “
“My boy …”
“Even, and I say EVEN, if I do such insane thing, again” where am I going to sleep? Should I place a mat on the floor for him?” hissed Snape
“Well, you could always…” chuckled Albus
“NO! Oooh, very well, there is no point in arguing with you anyway. I need to go and get his potion, I will think of something, as always. Can you be here with him, until I return?”
“I have some spare time; you just do what you have to do.”
Snape left the room grumbling to his chin and Lupin opened his eyes:
“Albus.” the voice was husky from sleep” what is going on?”
“Nothing to concern yourself with, my boy. Severus made some good improvements on your potion. It is not for…well, let us say that this potion is tailored for you and you alone.”
“But why?”
“Because I asked him to.” Albus raised his hand, preventing him to say anything ”Also, ever since that night, he is more than a little obsessed to find a cure for your condition, or at least the next best thing.”
“More like a muzzle. He loath me, Albus.”
“Why are you so sure of that?”
“He always did, we did him wrong for so long that I cannot even blame him. You know what happened that night Albus when Severus Snape does not hate me; he is mortally terrified of me. Now you are forcing him to spend time with me, to be around me on the nights like that!”
“Severus is not that fragile.”
“Are you sure, he just may be more fragile than you think Albus? Sure, he is a cruel and spiteful person but …”
“Is Severus so hard to be around with…?”
“He is…yes…no…I do not know. We barely tolerate each other and we are not friends Albus.”
“Maybe it is time for you two become friends.”
“This is no joking matter.”
“I am not joking, my boy. Severus needs to be around you, not just, that he improved your wolfsbane potion, there is another potion that you will have to take.”
“What?”
“Trust me, Remus..”
“I trust you, but I am not sure how much I can trust him.”
“You would be surprised.” chuckled Albus
“For how long?” sighed, conversations with Albus had a tendency to run around in circles and he was not up for that now
“I beg your pardon.”
“For how long I will have to take that other potion.”
“We shall see, time will tell. You will drink it daily, except on days you take wolfsbane. Severus will monitor your progress.”
“Why him? Why not Poppy?”
“We finally agree on something Lupin.” cold voice joined the conversation, Snape was standing in the doorway, holding his bathrobe.
“I am too busy to explain all over again this to both of you. The matter is settled. I wish you a good evening.” sharply replied Albus and diapered into a fireplace. Snape tossed robe to him
“Dress up, if I was forced to spend the day with you being naked, I refuse to eat a meal with you, naked.” growled Snape turning his back to him.
Slowly getting out of bed and putting the robe on Lupin was carefully listening. Snape’s heart rate was fast, too fast in contrast to his cold and calm composure. Snape’s body was emitting the scent of lavender, chamomile, and cheddar. Scent oddly mismatched with Snape’s personality, and this room.
“You can look now.” giggled
“Oh, what a joy.” sarcastically retort Snape still refusing to look at him ”Dinner is on the table, we will eat here until my chambers are rearranged.”
“And where is the table?” table, as well as few another thing, we're missing
“In the other room, if you can call it that.”
“In the room where I transform?”
“Oh.” an eyebrow went up again and Remus bit his thong not to vocalize his thoughts ”And did you by any chance stumble upon few wards on the entrance?”
“Those feeble ones? Really Lupin, from DADA professor I expected more…challenge…or talent.”
“They are not feeble.”
“For a full-grown wolf, out of his wits, they are almost not there.”
“I do take Wolfsbane Snape, and they suffice.”
“Why are you not using Shrieking Shack again? No wonder your skin is in shreds. Let us eat.” Snape was calm, he entered the other room and sit at the table, seeing the disgusted look on his face, added” Meat will make you sick, for now, in the next few days you will be on a vegetable diet. Do not worry it is only temporarily.”
~ SS ~ RL ~ SS ~ RL ~
Eating in silence across Lupin, dressed in a loose bathrobe, exposed to the view of bare chest riddled with scars, Snape was forcing himself not to pull up his wand and simply jinx Lupin. Amusing his thoughts with a list of nasty jinxes that he would like to use. Lupin was fixating his glare on him.
“What do you want?”
“From you or in life?” chuckled Lupin and he snorted
“For Christmas Lupin, I am planning to put you on my gift list.”
“I’m touched.” retorted Lupin
“I have no patience for your mockery Lupin. State your business or let me finish my meal in peace.”
“The conversation would be nice.”
“We do not have any remotely interesting topic to start a conversation, little less to hold on to it.”
“Well, we could get to know each other better.”
“Why would I want to know anything about you?” if Snape wasn’t aware until now how difficult task at hand would be, this conversation gave him pretty good insight. He almost grunted at prospect of it.
“I don’t know. Oh, common I will ask the first question.”
“NO!”
“All right, then you ask me something.” Lupin was grinning widely, and Snape rolled his eyes I am in hell! sighed
“You do not use salves for these.”
“No, no point in that” replied Lupin with a grin. He did not like that grin, not for a bit. Suddenly a thought comes to his mind:
“Lupin, you…did you…?” amber eyes looked at him with a twinkle, a huge grin spread across man’s face
“No, I believe I did not.” his heart started to race again, fork banged loudly on the plate, chipping it slightly in the process, as he let it drop from his fingers
“I think I’m going to be sick.”
“I think you are not far from that, but I am wondering why my nudity is so…exciting…for you” grinned Lupin, looking him straight in the eyes. He frowned How…my heartbeat! Bloody mutt can hear my heartbeat! If he knew anything, he knew that his face, voice or thoughts could not betray him, but Lupin had extremely sensitive hearing. Every time he was annoyed his heart would race, but that was a private matter, no one ever knows that about Severus Snape. Lupin told him last night that he could hear his heartbeat. Snape relaxed; at least that problem is easy to solve. His lips curled into something like smile
“Tasks that old man gives me, going to be the death of me, one day.”
“They very well may be.” Lupines face was serious now ”Snape, do not be here tomorrow. Just don’t.”
“I am not planning to…”
“Thank you…”
“Neither will you.” he handed a cup of hissing liquid to Lupin who was choking on a piece of carrot ”Drink it.”
“And where am I supposed to be?”
“In a dungeon.” he gritted his teeth
“Look, Snape…Severus…”
“The matter is settled. Drink your potion and put…some…clothes…on...” growled Snape
