Last Time:
“Yeah.” Sirius murmured nervously, but before he could even think that he screwed something up, Remus deliberately took hold of Sirius’ hand again and smiled making his heart flutter …
XXXXXXXXXX
James chuckled nervously as he saw Remus and Sirius were long gone, “They didn’t have to run.” He muttered as he started walking with Severus. Out of the corner of his eye James noticed that Severus looked unsteady and immediately wrapped his arm around the Slytherin’s waist. “Are you ok, Severus?”
“Yes.” Severus commented, trying his best to stay calm. It wasn’t easy to keep his heart from racing with James holding him. “Thank you … thank you for before too. The potions I mean.”
The Potter thought back for a moment to recall the potions Severus mentioned and smiled, “I was happy to help.” He said happily.
Just the memory of what Lily did still pissed James off. It was a miracle he was able to help Severus and he couldn’t be happier. However, seeing the bruises reminded him of how he used to hurt Severus. On top of that the change in Severus’ nose after it fully healed absolutely broke his heart. He realized exactly how much the adorable Slytherin has been through and he vowed to himself that no one will hurt Severus again.
Severus scoffed as he calmly leaned against James and held his hand, “Which part were you happy about? Getting me the potions or our lips touching?” He asked dryly despite his racing heart.
“Huh?” James muttered blankly. It took a second, but once James remembered how he gave Severus the potions his face turned bright red. “I … I wasn’t um … would you be mad if I said both?” James asked nervously, hoping Severus wasn’t mad about the lip contact.
“No.” Severus said softly before looking James in the eyes.
James felt his heart flutter as he looked into the dark eyes, “I am happy because I umm …” James murmured shyly, trying to say that he liked Severus, but it was hard to push out the rest of his sentence while looking into those eyes. “I … I really like you-“
This time James’ sentence wasn’t cut off by nerves or stuttering. In fact, it he was silenced by another pair of lips pressing gently against his own. It took him a second to realize those lips were Severus’. However, once his brain made that connection he moved a hand to the back of Severus’ head and tightened his grip around the slender waist. With their bodies even closer and hearts racing the kiss got deeper. The sweet kiss ended quickly, but meant a great deal to the two blushing wizards.
Severus gave a faint shy smile, “We should go to class.” He said softly and started to move while holding James’ hand.
“You’re right!” James exclaimed and happily held Severus close to him as they walked to class together. Soon the cozy silence around them was interrupted by the sound of students. “We’re here, Professor McGonagall.” He said just before the class officially started.
Minerva looked over and saw James and Severus sit at the table closest to Sirius and Remus, “Good timing. Remus and Sirius already informed me of Lucius’ skills being needed elsewhere. Now, Severus, we will be trying some advanced spells. While I know you read ahead I want you to be cautious. Don’t push yourself, especially if you feel dizzy.”
Severus nodded, “Yes, professor.” He said as he pulled out his wand and listened to the following lecture. Unlike James he noticed that something seemed different between Remus and Sirius, but he ignored it for now. Just as they were starting to practice the new spell Lucius returned. “How did everything go?” Severus asked, wanting to know that his friend was alright.
“I’m not any worse off than when I left.” Lucius commented in a way where most might think he was casually talking about healer duties. In reality he was simply reassuring Severus that he wasn’t brutally tortured by an insane dark wizard. “There is something that I need to talk about with you, James, after class.” He said, sounding a little more intimidating than he probably intended. After all, Severus noticed a glimmer of guilt in the silver eyes and he could tell Lucius didn’t mean it, but before the Malfoy could explain James put his foot in his mouth.
“What would that be? I didn’t do anything … that hurt Severus.” James exclaimed in his panic, but he accidentally implied that something did happen.
Lucius conjured up a chair and cast a privacy spell around the two tables before he sat right behind the two, “So you did do something. It just didn’t hurt Severus … and what was it that you did do? Something like your licking incident as a stag?” Lucius drawled somehow managing to both sound lazy and threatening as he let his hand, wand included, rest on James’ shoulder. Any sign of the guilt from before was completely gone.
Severus scoffed in amusement despite seeing James being frozen in fear, “It was just a kiss. Don’t threaten him.” He said bluntly with a subtle pink on his cheeks as he recalled the time James licked his butt in that stag form. Remus and Sirius immediately turned around to look at them. Clearly they were listening and happy about Lucius including them.
“I said nothing of the sort.” Lucius commented innocently, but even though he moved his hand off of James’ shoulder the tip of the wand still grazed the skin dangerously.
Sirius didn’t notice that the potential danger or that the privacy bubble was still there as he grinned, “So are you both together?”
“That is something I’d like to know too.” Lucius said with a pleasant smile. While Sirius didn’t sense the underlying threat Severus could tell that Remus could. After all, the werewolf was looking at Severus, almost begging him to calm Lucius down.
“I think we are.” Severus said with a hint of shyness in his tone. He also didn’t like answering for James, but the Potter looked a bit too scared to move. “It probably won’t last long if you give him a heart attack though.” Severus commented and, without any hesitation, grabbed the Malfoy’s collar.
With what seemed like a mild tug Lucius did back off, but probably not for long. James breathed a sigh of relief as Lucius moved his chair to the other side of Severus and therefore farther away from him. The Potter not only felt safe, but actually risked slipping a hand under the desk to hold Severus’ hand without Lucius seeing.
Severus couldn’t help but smile at the daring gesture, “Did something happen between you two after you ran ahead of us?” Severus asked Remus and Sirius. He was both curious and trying to get Lucius to focus on something else even if it won't last long.
“Yep!” A cheerful Remus said bluntly.
The unexpected question followed by the blunt answer left Sirius sitting in shock and his jaw hanging open, “I … um … yes.” Sirius finally admitted making a blush appear.
James blinked in confusion, but shrugged off the surprising news and smiled at his friends, “I’m happy for you two.” He said happily.
“Regulus will be pleased to hear that.” Lucius commented before canceling the privacy bubble.
Sirius’ blush deepened as he remembered that Regulus was in the same house as Severus and Lucius, “The brat told you, didn’t he?”
Lucius smirked, “He didn’t have to. Now get back to practicing the spell.” He said and since the professor was headed towards them they were left no choice but to drop the conversation. Once the class ended Lucius looked serious. You three go wait in the hall for a minute.” He ordered Remus, Sirius and James.
James chuckled nervously, “We’re going!” He exclaimed as he reluctantly let go of Severus’ hand and grabbed his own book bag before racing out of the room.
Remus sighed when he saw James nearly run into some of the other students who were leaving, “Better make sure he doesn’t run someone over.” He commented and he picked up his bag.
Severus scoffed in amusement, “Cute … now what did you want to talk to them about, Lucius?” He asked Lucius as he watched Remus take Sirius’ hand and follow after James. The blush on Sirius’ cheeks said it all.
“Actually you will.” Lucius said and sighed when he saw Severus quirk an eyebrow. “They seemed unnerved for some reason.”
“Might have something to do with your bedside manner.” Severus muttered dryly as he carefully stood up. He noticed that Professor McGonagall walked right past them like all the other students. You’d think she’d want to know a little bit about why Lucius was late. Considering Lucius didn’t seem surprised Severus figured that the transfiguration professor knew the truth.
Lucius shrugged as he cast a privacy spell around them, “I guess we’ll never know for sure.” He said pretending he was innocent in that matter, which only made Severus roll his eyes. “Whatever the case this is a topic that might be taken better coming from you.”
Severus saw his friend become unusually serious, “And what is that?”
XXXXXXXXXX
James smiled when he saw Severus walk out of the classroom, but shrank a little in fear when he saw that Lucius was mysteriously not with him, “Lucius isn’t going to ask us to go back in there to talk, right?” He asked, more than a little worried that if he went in that room he’d come out transfigured into something small and easily breakable that Lucius might juggle near an open window.
Severus just calmly walked towards the three, “No … considering the subject matter he wanted me to tell you three what’s going to happen.” He commented as he walked right up to James.
The Potter heir looked even more relieved than Remus and Sirius, “That’s good to hear … I think. What do we need-oof!” James grunted slightly as Severus quickly rushed forward and hugged him tightly. It was so sudden that they all thought that Severus suffered from a dizzy spell and fell, but that wasn’t the case. “Are you ok-“
“Just listen.” Severus said firmly, but softly. “Tomorrow there will be an article in the paper. Every single word is false and you must remember that, ok?” He warned never loosening his grip on James as he glanced at Remus and Sirius.
Jame blinked, not sure what this could be about and finally nodded, “What will the article say?”
“It will say that Lyall Lupin and your parents have died in a-remember what I said.” Severus said sharply the second he saw or felt the three Gryffindors start to tense up. “The article will say where the Death Eater attack was and that it was investigated by Gringotts, not the ministry. Pay attention to the address if you don’t believe me.”
For a few moments there was a tense silence. The only sounds that were heard were the echoes of other students farther away. It wasn’t until Lucius walked up to them that everyone snapped back to reality.
“I’m sure more details will be provided later. For now you should get to lunch.” Lucius said calmly as he took his place by Severus’ side.
It was a quiet, yet thoughtful, walk. In fact, it was a few hours between them that were relatively quiet despite the three Gruffindors trying to act normal. James was also so wrapped up in his thoughts that he never realized Lucius wasn’t making him back away from Severus. The Potter was allowed to hold Severus’ hand as much as possible.
During that time Remus, Sirius and James all remembered the night they overheard Severus and Lucius talking. Despite not actually being that long ago it was forgotten along with the fact that Lucius and Regulus were Death Eaters. Soon the reality of the war and Severus’ warning became frighteningly real and they anxiously waited to hear what other news might come. The strange anxious daze the three Gryffindors were under finally snapped when they saw the sun coming up. It was the morning of the forewarned newspaper.
Remus, who was the only one of the three who normally reads the paper, caught the paper like usual, “We have to act normal.” The werewolf said before James and Sirius could try looking at the paper. The problem was neither James or Sirius weren’t really eager to eat their breakfast like usual. “It’s here.” He said, subtly telling them that they can look at the newspaper.
There in black and white was the exact article that Severus warned them about. However, just because they were told the truth doesn't mean they were ready. A few heartbroken tears escaped their eyes before they remembered the truth. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to calm them down and they left the Great Hall.
Severus immediately got up on his unsteady feet and followed after them with Lucius and Regulus beside him, “James-“
This time James was the one to cut Severus off with a loving hug, “Thank you for telling us.” He whispered shakily as Regulus went over to comfort his brother and Remus. “Is … is there a chance…”
“I'll go get an update tonight.” Lucius answered quietly as everyone heard gasps and chattering from the Great Hall. Everyone else has apparently read the article, but unlike Remus, Sirius and James they didn’t know it was fake. A wave of condolences and well wishes came their way and it hurt slightly knowing that their loved ones were safe unlike many others.
XXXXXXXXXX
Lily stomped down the stairs and huffed, “There must be a way to get past Hogwarts’ wards.” She grumbled as she went into the kitchen. This time she actually started using the items to cook and soon had a quick meal ready. “If I did … no, I can’t go that far.” She murmured softly to herself as she sat in the living room and ate.
After her meal she noticed that the paper was on their doorstep. She figured Peter must’ve forgotten to bring it in so she went to get it. The second her eyes found the article her heart stopped.
“Oh no … James needs me.” Lily said and her eyes slowly drifted towards the couch, which is where Peter occasionally sleeps …
