“Well, if that is settled… I brought you a set of robes. They are not new, I’m afraid but they would do” Remus smiled at Severus.
Snape had a scornful look on his face, he focused on Remus but ignored Minerva and Harry, so Lupin gave them a signal to leave. Once they were alone Severus turned to him with a prideful expression.
“As you can clearly see, I have a set of robes on me.” To emphasize the words, Snape motioned a hand to his body.
Remus suppressed the shiver, it is obvious what is the set of robes Snape had. The hairs on his skin raised in horror, while uncomfortable prickles crawled up his skull.
“I see, and I anticipated… Hence the fresh set of robes.”
“I do not need your charity Lupin.” Sneered Severus “I can manage on my own just fine.”
“We can stay here and argue or you can change your attire and let us leave this place.” He pointed out mildly, retreated and pulled the privacy screen.
Grumbling followed the shuffling and the rustling. Remus balled his hands and bit his tongue not to offer any help. Undignified huff accompanied with a fit of cough was followed by a comment in a scratchy rough voice.
“They are beige.”
“What was that?” He asked, pushing the image of almost naked man behind the thin barrier.
“The robes are beige . Is this some sort of subtle torture you devised?” Hissed Snape
“As it happens, that was the only new, so to say, set of robes. The ones that are not worn out or shabby. And the one I still hadn’t had any chance to wear.” He tried to bite the argumentative note out of his voice. Severus did have the talent to set him on edge.
Snape appeared behind the screen. The beige material blended with Snape’s parchment colour of skin, making him look almost ghostly pale. The hair, longer than it was and still lanky but not as greasy, and eyes that burned with resentment - the only bits of colour.
“You’d better have a means for us to go from here directly to the place you call home.” growled Snape.
“As a matter of fact I do, and I have permission to use it.” Smiled Lupin, he extended his hand to Severus holding a single rather rusty nail “If you would.”
“My things… or have you forgotten that people may have them Lupin?” Sneered Snape
“They will be sent, it is arranged with the hospital.” He replied calmly. I have to send them a note and tell them to burn those cursed robes.
“Very well, and I’d prefer all my possessions returned to me from this place - undamaged.” Smirked Snape grabbing the other half of the nail.
They landed in the middle of his garden. The cottage he inherited is not big but it does have enough space for two of them. He hoped that Snape will be more amiable to finish his recuperation and healing here, away from prying eyes.
“Should I fear for my life Lupin?” Smirked Severus, one eyebrow raised.
Snape was swaying lightly on his feet and he tried to offer the support. Snape swatted his hand away. With a sigh, he motioned Severus to follow him.
“Your life is in no danger.”
“Yes, I can see that. Is that why you dragged me to this shabby, god-forsaken place in the middle of nowhere?”
“This place is secluded - yes. It is also equipped with a fortified cellar, and I do receive a monthly dose of Wolfsbane courtesy to the Ministry.”
He didn’t want to say that their Wolfsbane had a weaker effect than those Snape made for him. Even if the potion and recipe were the same, Lupin presumed that maybe the freshness of the ingredients or maybe the very skill of the brewer had something to with that.
Not that he wasn’t grateful, Ministry did, after all, put aside the funds for all willing Werewolves to sign and have a monthly supply of the potion. And, unlike for the many - his secret was already out.
Snape made a noise behind his back.
“And I should take solace in that? You do realise that I thought most of their brewers, and I am painfully familiar with their level of skill? You should consider yourself lucky for not being poisoned already.”
He turned to look at Severus, worry furrowing his forehead when he noticed the ashen colour of Snape’s face and huge specks of sweat.
“Why don’t you accept my help, Severus? You are still weak, and…”
“I can manage , Lupin. I do not need nor require your help. You may have drawn the short straw…”
“I volunteered.”
Those words alone were worthy of saying if for nothing then to see the look of almost shock passing over Severus' features. However, that was only a fleeting expression before scorn returned.
“So you hoped to score for yourself a personal brewer. I do not feel in debt to you, Lupin.”
“No, I do not expect from you to brew the potion for me, as I said - I have a monthly supply. I, on the other hand, have a debt to you .” Snape frowned and he turned to fiddle with a lock while he continued to talk. “You paid your dues, over-paid them I should say. You atoned for your mistakes by giving nearly 20 years of your life. I’m sure that you can understand the need for atonement.”
“I am not your charity chase, Lupin. And you are not in debt to me.”
He lead them into the house - spacious living room, small kitchen with table for tree and two bedrooms. He gave Severus a few moments to take in his new surroundings. Most of the library he inherited from Severus was on the walls - he donated few books to the new Hogwarts library.
Severus looked around, a sour expression on his face, but he was quiet. Remus found that annoying. Quiet meant that he had to force his brain to stop bombarding him with images, inappropriate images. Images that were not smart to have around Legilimens.
Being in this situation was so wrong and so right at the same time.
Severus turned to him and asked with the gruff voice. “Where is that whelp of yours?”
“Andromeda got the custody over Teddy, I visit him there twice a week.”
“Well, at least I won’t have to suffer his presence.” replied Severus after a moment of silence. And Remus would find those words offensive if it weren’t another fleeting look on Snape’s face, one of shock and pity and anger blended together.
“Yes, well... “ Remus mumbled.
“Do I have a place to sleep, or did you planned a rug for me?”
“Yes, you can have my old room, I use my parents' room now. Follow me.”
He lead Severus to a room, painted in bright blue with green and yellow flowers. Snape growled at the walls in bright colours. A huge, wall to wall window, brightened the room with rays of sun. He chuckled.
“I was preparing this room to be a nursery. We can repaint it to better suit your needs... “
“There is no need for that, Lupin. I don’t plan to linger.” hissed Snape “I’d like to be alone now.”
With a sigh, he left the room. This is going to be bloody hard.
