Chapter 6
Remus’ head was pounding in agony. He’d been listening to a rampaging Snape for a
good hour and he showed no sign of slowing down.
“Don’t you even care about the Order? Do you not want to find the journal? Do
you not want to stop Voldemort?” Snape raged for the tenth time.
“Give it a rest Snivellus!” Remus finally snapped at him. “You’re just mad because
she likes me and not you.”
Severus’ face paled in anger as he retorted “Listen werewolf boy that’s not what it
is.”
A knock on the door interrupted the argument and Snape turned on his heel to
answer it. A pensive looking Dumbledore stood there waiting to enter.
“Good evening gentlemen.” He said pleasantly.
“Is anything wrong Albus.” Lupin asked with concern. What is he doing here?
“Wrong? Certainly not. Severus has summoned me. So my question should be is
anything wrong?”
Snape shot Lupin a vindictive accusatory look before prattling to Dumbledore.
“Remus has a....thing for Madame Shimmer.”
Remus watched the headmasters eyebrows shoot up in surprise and braced himself
for the reprimand he was sure to come.
“So what’s the problem?” Dumbledore asked curiously.
Snape’s mouth was hanging open in surprise; he clearly wasn’t expecting that
reaction. “Sir, he’s putting the Order in jeopardy.” Snape said insistently.
“In what way Severus?” Dumbledore asked inquisitively.
“Well.....what if....well” Snape sputtered, clearly upset that Dumbledore did not
immediately side with him.
Albus raised his eyebrows and smiled enigmatically.
“What if Lupin tells her about the Order and she blabs to a Deatheater?” Snape
said happily, finally thinking of a valid reason.
“Does she talk to many Deatheaters Severus?” Dumbledore asked in alarm.
“What? No. I mean...not that we know of at this point in time.” Snape said feeling
very flustered.
“At this point in time? Do you not think that after a week of guarding her you
would have seen some type of suspicious activity. I see no reason to suspect her
of being associated with Deatheaters. Innocent until proven guilty Severus.”
Dumbledore said reasonably.
Then, turning his attention to the silent Remus, he said “I also see no problem with
Professor Lupin having a ‘thing’, as you so eloquently put it, for Madame Shimmer.
She seems to be a perfectly lovely person. I must advise caution though. We still
do not know much about her. So tread carefully Remus. Do not give out too much
information about your... extracurricular activities.”
“No, sir. Of course not.” Remus said almost giddily. He had Dumbledore’s approval
and that was enough for him. “Thank you Albus.” He said as he shook the
headmasters hand.
Dumbledore turned to Snape and shook his hand also. “Thank you for your concern
for the Order Severus. If you need anything further I’m just a fire grate away.”
And with a pop he Disapparated leaving a pair of very tense men alone.
“Shit Snape! You called Dumbledore? That’s mature.” Remus stormed, finally
losing his temper.
“Lot of good that did.” Snape said sullenly.
“Yeah. Thwarted you, didn’t it.” Remus laughed.
“Right.” He answered contemptuously.
“What’s your problem anyway? If you ‘supposedly’ don’t like her?” Remus asked
questioningly.
“I have no problem.” Snape said dismissivley.
“If you say so.” Lupin answered disbelievingly.
“What time are you supposed to meet her anyway?” Snape asked casually.
“I figured about eight. Why.” Remus said as he checked his watch.
“Stupefy!“ Snape cried suddenly. He watched Lupin slump to the floor and he
smiled wickedly as his wand shot ropes out to bound him as well. “No reason. No
reason at all.” He answered sardonically.
Snape took the knife from his robes and leaned over Lupin’s unconscious form.
Aiming carefully as he hummed tunelessly, he cut away a bit of hair. He
straightened and turned to the table behind him to carefully set the hairs down.
Next he removed a vile from his robes and uncorked it. The pungent smell made
his stomach churn as he added Lupin’s hair to the mix before swallowing it in one
gulp.
“Merlin I hate Polyjuice potion.” He shuddered as the gloopy concoction slid down
his throat. He sat down as the transition began. His limbs felt like they were
being tugged in all directions as he grew taller and broader. He could feel his hair
retracting, his feet and hands growing, and even the pop in his eyes let him know
when his own brown eyes had changed to Remus’ gray ones. When the
transformation had stopped, Snape glanced into the mirror and found himself
looking back at Remus.
He walked over to where the real Remus lay to snip additional hair. “Can’t have
myself changing back in front of her now can I? See you later werewolf boy. I
have a date with Analise.” Snape said before Disapparating.
