Last Time:
“Potter, Black, we’d like a word” said the 7^th year student …
XXXXXXXXXX
Remus winced as he saw James and Sirius limp into the Great Hall the next morning sporting black eyes and bloody lips. He didn’t see them last night save for hearing them flop into bed and he didn’t want to bother them if they were hurt. In fact, he was going to get Poppy and some food and bring it to them. It wouldn’t have been a big deal since today was a free day for everyone to study before exams started so James and Sirius could’ve stayed in bed, but it looked like they weren’t going to stay put. Of course after last night Remus wasn’t too surprised.
“Are you guys ok? That looks painful.” Remus said as his friends groaned in pain. Since his friends weren’t in a talkative mood he looked around the room. “Oh … ummm …guys Severus is looking this way.” He whispered to his two sore friends.
“Hmm?” James groaned in pain as he tried to open his swollen eye to see the Slytherin across the room, but when he spotted Severus he succeeded in making himself feel even more guilty than he was already. The Slytherin, who he bullied for most of the time they were in school, was looking at them in concern. James even saw Severus’ hand move towards the pocket where the Gryffindor knew he kept the potion bag. The realization that Severus didn’t want them in pain despite everything made James wish those older Gryffindors hit him harder. In fact, he suspected the only reason Severus didn’t try to help was, not because of how they treated him, but Lucius who steering Severus towards the Slytherin table, no doubt trying to discourage mercy towards the idiots who hurt Severus.
“Regulus,” Sirius whimpered sadly as he saw his brother follow Bellatrix and Narcissa. The belief that he was a complete ass solidified when he saw his little brother look concerned as Bellatrix stumbled slightly and was clearly ready to catch her. He wondered if his brother already knew about what happened to her.
“Oh dear Merlin! James, Sirius, my boys are you both alright?” Dumbledore asked as he went towards the Gryffindor table with Peter in tow.
“Yes, headmaster. It’s not as bad as it looks.” James said trying to move as if he wasn’t in pain.
The headmaster frowned not believing it, “You can tell me how this happened and who was responsible,” he said quietly simply trying to encourage the boys to tell him what happened so the right people were punished, but his eyes subtly glancing in the Slytherins’ direction already showed that he was on the wrong track.
“No one did this, sir. Honest, we’re fine!” Sirius exclaimed doing a good job not cringing in pain as he smiled.
“Very well, but go see Poppy about those wounds.” Dumbledore ordered before finally turning to Peter, “Poppy wanted me to remind you to pay attention to what you eat so we know what caused your illness should it happen again.” Dumbledore said unknowingly reminding Remus, Sirius and James about what Severus said last night. They didn’t like to think that Peter would spike something to take advantage of Remus, but Severus knew a lot that they didn’t realize he knew so maybe this was something they should take seriously. It wouldn’t be a good idea to let Peter continue trying stuff like that or, Merlin forbid, succeed and have the nerve to call himself their friend. They had to prove one way or another before bringing this up with Peter or the headmaster.
“Thank you, headmaster. I will,” Peter said before sitting down next to Remus who stiffened as the werewolf inside him growled like usual, which made Remus wonder if Moony as ways knew about Peter’s real intentions. “Oh! Remmy, I got some cauldron cakes you can eat before your night out.” Peter said knowing Remus liked something sweet before a full moon transformation, which made Remus wonder how many times he tried potioning him. After all, this wasn’t the first time Peter gave Remus a sweet treat …
”Thanks,” Remus said awkwardly as he took the bag handed to him. He was grateful the headmaster went to the front of the room to start announcements and he didn’t have to continue talking to Peter.
“Everyone, this is the last day before exams. Do use every minute productively and help each other study. Now, there is a slight change I’d like to report, and it’s about Hogsmeade. I’m afraid there was a Death Eater attack there. It was only a couple crazed supporters and both were caught, but to be safe no one is allowed to go.” Remus heard James groaned sadly at the headmaster’s report and understood why. No doubt James wanted to get those chocolates for Severus and try to apologize right away, but that sweet incentive is not an option now. “Now, this doesn’t change anything for those too young to go, but for those who would’ve liked to relax there before their exams I am sorry. We will have some butterbeer and small array of sweets set out in here for most of the day if anyone would like it. It’s not the same as actually going to Hogsmeade, but it may help. Of course, let your studies come before indulgence, understand?” Dumbledore chuckled as he heard a little echo of groans from the students. “Good luck to all of you!” He exclaimed and a wide spread of breakfast appeared across all of the tables.
“So, what do you guys want to do today?” Peter asked as he filled up his plate.
“Look through the sweets the headmaster mentioned,” James grumbled hoping the chocolates were there.
Peter grinned, “Sounds like a plan!” He too easily as always, but Remus wondered how much he really cared since Peter didn’t even ask how James and Sirius were. Come to think of it Peter always only seemed to just tag along for the sake of tagging along. Was he actually a friend or just someone hanging around the more popular crowd?
“We were thinking of going to stop and ask Professor Slughorn a couple questions too,” Remus said, but internally sighed in frustration as Peter smiled no doubt wanting to tag along. “Would you find a spot in the library so we can go there to study?”
James nodded as he realized what Remus trying to do, “Yeah, that’d be very helpful … and could you grab us a few butterbeers?” James asked as he winced in pain when he moved his bruised cheek too much to take a bite of food.
“I can do that!” Peter exclaimed eagerly and once breakfast as done he left to do just that.
James sighed in disappointment when the promised sweets appeared replacing what was left of breakfast, “They’re not here.” He said sadly when he couldn’t see the desired sweets he wanted to give Severus, but that didn’t stop him from trying to catch up to Severus who was leaving the Great Hall. Maybe it was his guilt or his swollen eyes behind his glasses, but he clearly didn’t see how tense Severus was just being in hexing range of him.
Remus ran after James and grabbed him by the collar before he got within arms reach, “Professor Slughorn is this way, James,” he said as he dragged James away in the opposite direction Severus was going with Sirius limping behind them in confusion, “Don’t argue, James. Didn’t you see you were scaring him?” The werewolf hissed at his friend once they found an empty corner so they could talk privately.
“But why?! I wasn’t going to do anything!” James exclaimed in frustration just wanting to apologize.
“Severus didn’t know that and remember the last time you were hurt? You vented your anger on him. I’m not surprised he was thinking you’d do it again!” Remus explained firmly trying to get his stubborn friend to see reason.
James visibly deflated as the reality of the situation hit him, “But what do I do, Remmy?” James pleaded as he leaned back against the wall.
“First, lets get this cleared up.” Remus said as he held the bag of cauldron cakes up, “Then, we’ll go see Poppy to get you-” Remus sighed as his friends shook their heads stubbornly. They seemed to want to go through this the long painful way as if it will help or give themselves a much deserved punishment. “Fine! Be that way, but lets let things settle between us and Severus for a few days. Don’t approach him, but just smile at him and say hi. On the train you guys can find him and say sorry. Maybe you can send a few gifts and letters over the summer. By the next school year he will be on better terms with you, ok? Is that reasonable?”
James thought it through for a moment before nodding, “You’re right. I can’t afford to screw this up … Severus said he risked running into Lily’s sister when going to her house … is it possible they live near each other?” He asked curiously as Sirius considered his apologies too.
“It sounds like it and no,” Remus said quickly shooting down the idea he knew James was mulling over.
“I wasn’t going to do anything! I only wanted to stop by!” James said quickly.
“James, it’s too soon for you to be visiting him over the summer. Stick to the owls until you know Severus is even comfortable to be near you, understand?” Remus saw James nod and sighed, “Let’s go see the professor.” He said and lead the way through the halls.
Professor Slughorn looked up from his array of ingredients he was setting up for the exams and smiled, “Hello, how can I help you boys? Oh dear … are you sure you two are alright? I have some bruising cream if you’d like.” He offered as he looked at James and Sirius’ faces.
Sirius shook his head, “No thank you, sir. We actually have something really urgent to discuss if you have a minute.”
Horace Slughorn frowned in concern, “Of course, what’s wrong?”
Remus handed Horace the bag of cauldron cakes, “We think someone tried to slip me a love potion.” He said softly feeling like he already knew the answer.
“A love potion? That is quite serious!” Horace said taking the bag and pointing his wand at it. The following spell produced a piece of paper with some words that the professor read through, “I see … you were right to be suspicious. Someone did use a spell to open this bag and a spell to close it so it looked like it wasn’t tampered with,” he said before opening the bag and taking out a cake, which he placed on his desk. After taking a potion from the shelves he returned and slowly poured he potion over the cake.
James watched as the potion’s colors changed from dark blue to orange and red, “What does that mean professor?”
“It means theirs is a love potion in these cakes, but oddly enough there’s a counter in them too … I can tell the love potion and counter were made by two different people because the colors show that the love potion was poorly made, but the counter I perfect. Someone must be looking out for you.” Horace said with a smile before turning serious, “I will handle the charges. A drop of blood is used in love potions so I can find the person and I will discuss it with the headmaster and that person’s head of house. As for you three you must stay quiet on the matter especially if you know who did this.” The potions professor said sternly and they nodded before leaving so the professor could get the information he needed.
Remus felt sick, “I can’t go back there.”
“You don’t have to … after all, someone needs to keep us out of trouble!” Sirius exclaimed with a cheeky grin earning a chuckle from the werewolf.
“Now, I need to know … but I can’t stay conscious during the transformation so can you guys … watch me… please.” Remus asked softly.
James smiled despite the pain, “We’ll be with you that full moon. Most of the exams will be done by then so it’s not like we have to worry about being tired. Did you get that last OWL moved?” James asked remembering that the last exam was set right after the full moon and Remus is always ill after that night.
“Yeah … I take that exam the day before and no I won’t tell any answers! I’ll be made to swear that I won’t assist cheating anyway!” Remus said with an amused smirk as his friends pouted at the loss of a few free answers.
The next few days were busy with the OWLs, but they noticed that Peter vanished. They had no clue what happened until Professor McGonagall told them that Peter as taking his OWLs at the ministry until everything was sorted. Apparently there was no time left in school to punish Peter, but they knew separating him for the rest of the school was necessary considering the crime. Once the exams were done they’d discuss what should happen, which Professor McGonagall believed would be expulsion.
“ummm … professor, what about the person who made the counter? They aren’t in trouble, right?” James asked hoping Severus wasn’t in trouble.
“No. The crime of potioning depends on the potion used. If it was just giving someone a potion we’d be arrested every time we had a headache. While I wish they reported this person instead I’m happy to say that they did nothing wrong.” Minerva smiled as the young wizards looked relieved.
“Thank you for telling us, professor,” Remus said gratefully and sighed after she left, “I’m going to go ahead … I’ll see you guys in the morning” The werewolf said to his friends before leaving for the Shrieking Shack.
Once they felt enough time passed, James pulled out the invisibility cloak and a map that showed where everyone was, “I can’t find him.” He said trying to find Severus’ name on the map as he got under the cloak with Sirius and snuck through the halls.
”We’ll see when we get there … now, we’ll both shift and I’ll watch the shack as you look for Severus” Sirius said. Moments later they were near enough to the shack so they put the cloak and map away without fear of being spotted. After Sirius shifted into a large grim dog, James shifted into a stag and began searching for the Slytherin.
It soon became clear why James couldn’t find Severus’ name on the map. He was looking at the Slytherin dorm and the paths through the castle, but Severus was already here! The Slytherin was right there, completely naked and bathing in a small pond at the edge of the lake …
