"I'm speaking"
Pairing: Yaoi M/M – seme James x Severus
Last Time:
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 …
XXXXXXXXXX
It was hard to say how long James stood there watching Severus, but by the time he snapped out of it the moon traveled through most of it’s path in the sky …
“There … I think that should be enough.” Severus said, but James noticed Severus frown as if pondering something before shrugging and sinking beneath the pond’s surface. The stag shuffled nervously as a few seconds passed, but Severus did not resurface. In his stag form James stepped forward suddenly worried about the Slytherin who could be drowning for all he knew, but then felt relieved when Severus finally resurfaced. “Ok, that should be enough.”
James shook himself out of the strange daze he fell under while watching Severus’ naked form swim to the edge of the pond. Finally, he tilted his head curiously wondering why Severus will be taking a bath now when Remus was transforming. It was clear that Severus was prepared to heal the werewolf since the bag holding all of Severus’ potions was sitting next to the nearest tree with the Slytherin’s clothes on top of it. Was there a reason for the late bath during a full moon?
Before James could ponder more his brain seemed to shut off as he saw Severus step out of the pond completely naked. There was something mesmerizing about a droplet of water that was sliding down Severus’ back. James couldn’t take his eyes off it. It was only when the drop hit the curve of Severus’ ass that his eyes focused on something other the wet skin.
That interesting thing was a birthmark on the Severus’ left butt cheek. It was shaped like a snitch! A round light mark with two wings coming out of it made a very cute snitch like shape. Sadly for James he was in his stag form and animal instincts tend to take over. He didn’t even realize that he was walking up to Severus, who bent over to pick up his clothes, and licked the birthmark until the Slytherin spun around in shock to look at him.
Severus’ dark eyes looked at the stag in relief, “Damn, you scared me.” He said with a smile and had forgotten his clothes on the ground. After all, he thought he was talking with a stag and not to a very nervous James Potter so he didn’t think modesty was necessary. “I wonder if you can smell any potions on me … I know a werewolf who gets sick at the smell of fumes so I wish you could tell me.” Severus said softly trying not to startle the large stag.
James felt like hitting himself as he realized Severus was bathing for Remus. He remembered his fellow Gryffindor mentioning that he always felt sick around potions around the time he transforms. Well, not the potions themselves, but the fumes and the grease that collects on the surroundings. If Remus was even more sensitive right after a transformation then just a whiff of Severus’ hair, which is normally greasy from brewing, would easily make him sick. The realization of how badly he misjudged this person in front of him made him so sad that he dipped his antlered head down.
“You ok, big guy?” Severus asked softly when he noticed the stag look sad and slowly reached out to touch the stag’s muzzle. The stag leaned into his touch and made a content purring rumble in his chest, which made Severus smile. Unfortunately, Severus noticed the moon hanging in the sky and pulled away. “Sorry, big guy. I have to get ready to help someone.” Severus said, but the stag dared to step forward to nuzzle Severus’s hand to get that touch again, which surprised James a lot more than Severus who just chuckled. Before James could get his head together, Severus decided to comfort what he thought was a stag by kissing the muzzle, which unbeknownst to him was not a regular stag.
James eyes widened, completely startled by that action, and just stared blankly as Severus turned his back to the stag to focus on getting dressed. Now that James was much closer, though, he noticed something that horrified him. Once his mind came back into focus after that kiss that is.
Faint scars crisscrossing across the pale back were hidden by the healing bruises. Truly the birthmark, not Severus’ very nice butt, was what kept James’ attention away from the scars before. At least, that’s what he tried to convince himself was the case …
(Did I do that?) A guilt ridden stag thought in horror. James knew his hexes caused most, if not all, the bruises on the pale skin. A fact that hurt enough, but the scars? Were those his fault too? He racked his brain for any memory of his stupid bullying that might’ve caused this, but though he couldn’t think of anything he didn’t stop blaming himself and the only thing that brought him out of that daze was Severus’ soothing voice …
“Ok, I have to go, big guy.” Severus said and gently patted the strong muzzle before he left. James just blinked as he realized Severus was already completely dressed and carrying his bag of potions. He shook off the odd feeling of disappointment he felt and slowly followed after Severus who didn’t seem to mind his presence.
As they approached the Whomping Willow James saw those shining black eyes look back at him in concern. It was clear that the Slytherin didn’t want the stag to get hurt by coming too close the violent tree, which James knew about, but stayed back to see what Severus would do. A rustling alerted James to Sirius who padded up to him in his canine form and sat next to him as Severus walked away, but then something terrifying happened. A loud crack was heard and it was followed by a howl …
“What-” Severus froze as he saw the werewolf’s head poke out of the tunnel. There were only a few minutes left until Remus turned back, but it only takes a minute for a werewolf to bite or kill and it seemed Remus spotted the Slytherin. “Shit.” Severus hissed and slowly backed away as the werewolf approached. The Whomping Willow tried to hit the creature, but that only made Remus charge Severus.
James acted out of instinct and charged at Remus. He managed to get between Severus and Remus and kicked the werewolf back with his hooves. It wasn’t something he wanted to do, but right now it was Severus in danger not Remus.
“Remus!” James froze when he heard Severus yell and saw the Slytherin run out from behind his large stag form.
Just as James and Sirius were about to try and stop Remus, who was chasing down the Slytherin, Severus stopped and faced the charging werewolf. However, Severus was prepared. The Gryffindors didn’t see it, but there was a potion vial in the Slytherin’s hand. Once Remus was close to Severus he opened his mouth to bite the Slytherin, but he didn’t succeed. The vial’s contents were tossed into the mouth with perfect timing as Severus moved to get out of range. James and Sirius watched in shock as Remus started to stumble before finally collapsing onto the ground fast asleep thanks to what was apparently a sleeping potion. Barely 5 seconds later Remus changed back into a human.
“Who the hell keeps weakening the spells I placed on the door?! I was sure I did what Lucius said correctly … Remus shouldn’t have been able to escape without someone sabotaging him!” Severus snapped clearly beyond furious with what happened. “Someone is trying to get Remus or someone killed.” He muttered as he went to grab his potion bag apparently forgetting about the two animals as he focused on healing Remus who was bleeding from many self inflicted injuries.
James and Sirius backed away quietly and watched from a distance in their human forms as they processed what was said …
“Severus was attacked before … Remus was let out?” James pondered out loud.
Sirius scowled, “I watched the tree all night until you got here. No one came … Who else knows about Remus or would even want to do this?” He whispered angrily as he glanced out at Severus and Remus. “That guy is braver than I thought.”
“Yeah … he is.” James said softly as he watched Severus heal and even fix Remus’ clothes, which were in tatters after transforming. Each year the werewolf gets bigger and that means less and less clothes remain intact. It’s no wonder Remus liked transforming at school considering the care Severus was giving him. James actually had to squash a feeling of jealousy at the sight of Severus’ fingers gently tending to each wound.
“We should go … we have that fucking exam right after breakfast.” Sirius groaned as he saw the sun slowly rise. James didn’t want to leave until Severus did, but they didn’t want to risk running into Filch or Professor McGonagall, who gets up really early, so they had to leave.
After getting under the invisibility cloak they snuck through the forest and back into their dorm just barely running across a cat that looked like Professor McGonagall. It was already time to get up for breakfast by the time they got back, but by now the night’s activities were starting to catch up to them. In fact, they were exhausted. It took every ounce of strength they had to go back downstairs and eat. When they were about to fall asleep at the table someone poked them. It for sure wasn’t Remus because he’d be even more tired than them and, assuming Severus put him back, he would be sleeping in the Shrieking Shack so they glanced up … it was Regulus , Sirius’ little brother.
“Here, you both need these.” Regulus said and put a couple vials of what looked like Pepper up potion in front of them.
Sirius smiled weakly, “My hero!” He exclaimed and downed his quickly.
“Where’d you get these?” James asked after drinking his. He had a sneaking suspicion who gave them to Regulus. The fact that he spotted a unusually wide awake Severus who was glaning this way before quickly leaving the Great Hall like many others.
“A friend.” Regulus said simply and started walking away.
“Wait!” Sirius said making Regulus turn towards him. “Can we ride in the same compartment on the train? I need to talk to you.” He said nearly begging to start making things right between him and his brother and cousins.
Regulus shook his head, “I’m riding with Bellatrix-”
“I know.” Sirius stated firmly stunning his brother.
“Umm … ok.” Regulus said very surprised that his brother wanted to be near them at all. “You have an exam, right?”
“Shit!” Sirius and James exclaimed before scarfing down a bit more food before running towards their class.
It was a tricky exam, but thanks to the Pepper up they at least were able to do their best. The last OWL was done and just like that the school year was over. By the time they got out of the classroom and went back to the dorm, Remus was there on his bed resting between moments of packing all their trunks.
“What happened last night? When I woke up I was in the bed in the Shrieking Shack and, of course, I can’t remember anything.” Remus mumbled a little annoyed with not being able to know what happens during that time.
James sighed, “That’s probably a good thing.”
Remus raised an eyebrow as he looked at his nervous friends, “Why?”
“You got out of the shack!” Sirius blurted out. They were very lucky there wasn’t anyone else in the dorm at the moment to overhear this conversation.
“I WHAT?!” Remus yelled in horror as he nearly sprang out of bed.
“And it wasn’t the first time either!” Sirius exclaimed earning a swat from James who wanted to stop freaking out the now very pale werewolf.
“It’s not as bad as Sirius makes it sound. Just calm down.” James said before glancing around the room to see if anyone was around. “Yes, you got out, but Severus knew what to do. Apparently, after the first time Severus put protective charms or something up so it wouldn’t happen again, but he said something about someone weakening them.”
“Who would do that?!” Remus gasped in horror.
“We don’t know.” James said not sure what else to say.
There wasn’t much else to say for the rest of the day either. Too much was going through their heads that they needed to think about so they all just packed their trunks and got ready to leave in the morning in silence. As they train pulled up to the edge of the school grounds across the lake the three Gryffindors began looking for two people. One was Severus and the other was Regulus. Remus had to stop James from running up to Severus who was talking to Lily. Regulus, on the other hand, actually found them …
Sirius smiled as he spotted his brother coming up to them weighed down by his trunk like they were, “Regulus-”
“I’m sorry. Bellatrix says the compartment is full.” Regulus said sadly.
“Fine.” Sirius said before leaning over to look his brother in the eye. “Tell her this. I will fix what my stupidity did and I will make things better between us. She can cooperate or face a prank. Her choice!” Sirius said with a grin. Regulus smiled at the threat and moved through the crowd of waiting students. Sirius snickered at the look on Bellatrix’s face when his brother relayed his message. It was a hilarious mix of shock and irritation, but the amusement disappeared when Sirius noticed how suspicious both his cousins became after a moment.
Remus sighed and patted Sirius’ shoulder to comfort his friend who looked a liitle hurt by the suspicious glances his way, “It’ll be alright.” He said while grabbing James again. It seems the Potter noticed that Lilt went on the train with some other girls leaving Severus alone. “Don’t even try it, James. Sick to owls.” The werewolf said, feeling a little weird about the way Lily kind of snubbed Severus. It could just be because it was right after a full moon, but something just felt off.
James pouted, “but you said I should say sorry on the train!”
“Yeah, but I don’t think Lucius will let you anywhere near him being this is his last year to protect Severus. He might seriously hurt you to make a point so you’d stay away from Severus after he’s gone.” Remus said feeling a really protective nature coming from the Malfoy who joined Severus. The feeling actually scared his wolf, which was saying something. It was becoming clear that they were blind to a lot. “Why don’t you write a letter on the train and send it the second you get home?” Remus suggested kindly as they boarded the train.
“Yeah … ok.” James said distractedly as he watched Lucius drag Severus into the same compartment as Regulus, Bellatrix and Narcissa.
“I mean it, James. Stick to owls.” Remus warned knowing how stubborn his friend could be. James nodded quietly …
7 hours later …
James waved goodbye to his friends before flooing away with his parents at the train station. Once they were home James looked at his parents, “Can I fly around on my broom for a while?”
“Well alright. You do need to unwind after those exams. Be back by dinner.” His mother said with a sweet smile. The young Potter hugged his parents and went upstairs to put his things away. All except his broom, invisibility cloak, wand, owl and letter.
Before getting on his broom with the cloak around him he gave the owl the letter and released it. Soon he was flying after the owl and right for Severus Snape …
