Gryffindors’ and guilt do not go together well

Five more days passed. Lupin becomes masterful at avoiding him. In any other situation, he would be glad to admit that he got his peace back. Only now, that was not the case. He wanted to proceed, he desired to see wolf again, to talk to him.
Severus sipped his tea, looking at Albus over the teacup edge. They are at Albus's’ office, and Snape wondered Do we understand each other? Albus was annoyingly calm about the whole situation, giving him advice that leads to nowhere
“Give him some more time Severus; he will come around and come back to you…”
“Albus you are not a marriage counsellor, and we are not married a couple in trouble. I am a scientist and my guinea pig just run under the cupboard where I could not reach him.”
“He is not a pet Severus; he is a human with human feelings.”
“That is a matter of opinion. Even if he was a human, now he is just a mouse, not even the beast he used to be. Let me ask you Albus; is your precious house magnet for those without a brain?”
“Now, now Severus, who is acting like deserted spouse at the moment?”
“As I recall, I told you that I am not a pet owner. You insisted. Now your precious pet, placed under my care, against my will, run away.”
“Did you tried to reach to him?”
“I might try to put a bowl of water and some kibble if you stop feeding him.” snorted
“My dear boy….”
“I am not in a mood Albus. We are running out of time. There are much bigger things I need to do instead of walking on eggshells, trying not to shatter his sensitive feelings.”
“What did he do that so annoyed you, my boy?” Snape glared at Albus, his glares never worked on the old wizard but he could not help himself. He placed teacup on the table, reached into his robe pocket and tossed handful of parchment pieces at the table
“This bloody notes. I keep finding them everywhere. The last one was at my desk, in my classroom. MY CLASSROOM Albus. Let me read it to you.” hissed and picked one scrap out of the pile ”I am sorry Severus, I still can’t talk to you. I still can’t forgive myself for hurting you. I am not asking you to forgive me either. We will talk, but later. Thank you for all your understanding.”
“I do not see anything wrong with it.”
“You do not. What if one of my students found that note?” he felt anger choking him. Annoying old man and his soft spot for idiots and dunderheads.
“I am sure that he did not think…”
“He never does, does he?” croaked ”In any rate, this is not why I wanted to talk to you. As I stated before, we are running out of time, there is, however, a way…”
“I am listening.”
“You may not like it, but it is something recommended by old documents. We could speed up the … ah, healing…the process, by surrounding him with stones. Specific crystals…”
“That is an old and archaic thing, Severus. I know that medicine still uses it but…this is a different matter altogether.”
“Albus, on this full moon…you know what I plan to do. I would rather not endanger myself more than I need to.”
“How can I assist you?”
“Just, be there, at least at the beginning. I cannot take my wand and I am not too fond of that prospect.”
“Are you sure about this?”
“It is needed. Do you see any other candidates? If you do, let me know and I will gladly step down.”
“All right. Then, the matter is settled. I would ask you, however, to wait just a little bit longer with crystals. I cannot agree to that at this point.”
“As you wish, for now. I am certain that we would have to use that method in the end. Gryffindors’ and guilt do not go together well; they tend to crumble under pressure.”
“Come now Severus, no need for insults.” chuckled Albus and Severus took his teacup again.
“Day or two would not make much difference, but you talk to him again. If for nothing else, than to stop making the mad entire staff. He is worse than Peeves.” grunted and Albus chuckled again.

Four days later, walking out of the bathroom Snape noticed empty single bed and yet another note. He picked it up and read it, grunting:
“Leave the potion on the desk, do not wait for me I’ll be late tonight”
He took parchment and scribbled something on it.
“Dobby!” called and elf appeared ”Can you please bring me these stones? In addition, ask Albus if he can join me.”
“Right away professor Snape.” smiled Dobby and disappeared. With a sigh, he pinched a root of his nose. I told him this would be necessary, now he has to listen. Dobby appeared again, handing him a velvet bag
“Mr Dumbledore will be here soon, professor Snape. Shall I bring breakfast here?”
“Thank you, Dobby, no, no breakfast today.”
“Professor Snape must eat, Professor Snape is going to pass if he’s not eating. Dobby will bring breakfast.” squeaked Dobby and Snape looked at him
“All right Dobby, but not too much, something light.”
“Right away professor Snape.” grinned elf and disappeared. When he was alone allowed himself a moment of slip, looking with fondness at the place where Dobby was standing. That little elf was more like an overprotective mother hen than a servant, and he was grateful for that.
He charmed off linens from Lupin’s bed and placed 10 stones on a bare mattress. Just as he finished the work Albus came through the corridor entrance
“Severus?”
“Your talk did not do the trick.”
“Are you sure about this?” Albus looked at the bed ”This is not common practice.”
“Nothing is common in this situation. You know as well as I that stones have much more use than just to be additions to potions.”
“But to use them like this…”
“I’ve told you, Albus, we might come to this. Moreover, to all honesty, I have no time nor will to go slow.”
“If you are sure.”
“Albus,” Snape turned to old wizard, a stern look in his eyes ”do you want your pet werewolf functional or not. If you want him broken than there is no need for him to linger in my quarters. I would welcome return to solitude and privacy.”
“I trust that you know what you do Severus. In addition, from now on you have full freedom to do so.”
“Indeed” he observed the order of stones once more.
“Are you sure you don’t want to place moonstone on an abdomen position?”
“Do you want him to get pregnant or balanced?”
“Isn’t that Amethyst bit large and too dark? That could knock out a troll.”
“I need sleep and healing Albus, and I am losing my patience with that whining flea-bag that infest my space. Weaker stone and I will jinx him every night only so that I could rest. The choice is yours.”
“And you are sure…some stones do not look in correct order.”
“Albus I am not following that Muggle nonsense you like so much. If this is how ‘full freedom’ looks like” our deal is off. You can hand me to Azkaban, I will go there myself, willingly.” he sneered
“All right, I trust that you know what you are doing. No need to confirm with me but I would appreciate if you keep me informed.”
“Of course. You just make sure he cannot go back to his quarters and that he has to come back here.” he nodded curtly, Albus left and he checked order one more time: moonstone, thulite, amethyst, sapphire, variscite, spinel, pyrolusite, rhodonite, vanadinite, and onyx. He nodded to himself and began chanting, seating stones deep into the mattresses. Charmed the linens back on, sighing in relief.
He could not but smile at Dobby’s definition of ‘light’ breakfast. On a small table in front of the fireplace was a full tray. He took a bowl of chopped fruit.

Lupin sneaks up in the room, it was late at night. He drank the potion left for him in the laboratory and crept toward his bed looking at the floor. Nearly fell when Snape rose from armchair
“You idiotic, fleabag! Sit down we need to talk.” startled, he looked around like he was searching the way out ”I have no patience for your childish fits. Sit…down…now.”
Reluctantly, still not raising his eyes from the floor, he sat on the edge of the other chair. Noticing that Snape has a rigid posture as he sat, not leaning but still holding his back straight curtly. He winced.
“Lu…Remus. Look at me.” Snape asked he shook his head ”So, is this Gryffindor bravery? You can do the damage as long as you do not face it. I said LOOK AT ME.”
He raised his eyes and looked at Snape’s face. Snape was calm. How does he manage to do this all the time?
“You can relax Remus I will not hurt you. In addition, there is a way, which can assure that you will not hurt me, anymore. However, you have to agree to it, both of you have to agree.” Snape’s voice bit softer than he expected. However, on the mentioning of his other personality, he hunched his shoulders ”Remus what I am about to do, If you agree, is….”
Remus finally lifted his head. Snape looked almost bored. He felt tense, Snape was not the one to stop sentence in the middle. Listen, friend, he helps. Whispered voice in his head. His throat was clenched and dry but he nodded, Snape relaxed a bit
“It is an old and relatively unexplored branch of Legilimency. I would have to create a … link… between your mind and mine. It is like…trigger word… that would stop you in case you start to act violently again.”
“And you are good in Legilimency?” asked sheepishly, Snape just smirked, “Did you done that before?”
“No.”
“Is it ever done before?”
“Yes,…with more or less success. Albeit not that often. If done improperly, consequences are…disastrous for both sides.”
“Are you sure….”
“You are a true to image of bravery, Lupin.” smirked Snape ”Do you believe that I would suggest something like that if I am not sure that I can do it?”
“Yes, yes you are …”
“That is why I need your consent, both of your consents. Entering one’s mind in this way is not…” Snape paused as if he is considering what phrase to use which made him nervous ”…it is just different. It is not common Legilimency practice; in fact, I am sure that no one tried these for a very long time. To create a permanent link, I need to have free accesses, and you have to agree. Both of you have to agree. I will not be able to read or influence your thoughts, nor do you mine.”
“I don’t want to hurt anyone.” whispered. I allow, trust friend. ”I…we agree, both of us.” squeezed, feeling as if he is losing his mind. Constant whispers and persistent, nagging voice in his head created pressure and forcing him to feel angry.
“I swear to Salazar, Lupin, even Potter has more backbone than you do!” hissed Snape ”You are what you are, be honest at least with yourself, and accept it. Gryffindor’s and double standards.” spat Snape, disapproval and scorn written clearly all over his face.
Lupin looked at him, blinking, not understanding fully why Snape is so angry with him. Friend is smart, whispered wolf. He sighed
“When we are going to this?”
“Tonight, in short time, I need to prepare myself.” Snape stood up and walked from the room, leaving him alone with his thoughts.
~ SS ~ RL ~ SS ~ RL ~
Walking into his laboratory Snape tossed one swift glance on to a calendar, counting how much longer he will have to endure all this. Lupin’s erratic, almost childish behaviour annoyed him. He almost longed for days when they played chess having semi-intelligent conversations. Fleabag mutt was much more bearable then.
With a sigh, he picked up old, almost ancient, parchment and started to read. When he read it a couple of times, placed a parchment on the table and leaned on the wall, closing his eyes. Excitement filled him up. What he was about to do was not done in more than 500 years. Taking a few deep breaths, wincing slightly as ribs start to sting, he moved away from the wall. Clearing his mind from all thoughts walked back in the room.
Lupin was still in the armchair, staring into the fire.
“Remus, it is time.” Lupin jerked his head towards him. Indecisive and stern look in his eyes, at the same time.
“Tell me what to do.”
“Do not resist.” Lupin nodded and he pointed his wand at him mumbling softly ”Legilimency”. Once he was in Lupin’s mind, he felt slightly dizzy. Two sets of thoughts and memories were not easy to overcome. He pushed them away, this time he did not want to see or know. Searching through layers until he found what he was looking for, light silvery line, not thicker than a strand of hair. He began to build link connected to the silver strand. He took his time, careful not to disturb anything else. He could feel the wolf, observing but not interfering. Half an hour later he pulled back and weakly stumbled to the chair, slumping in it.
Snape could feel sweat dripping between his shoulder blades. He looked at Lupin, who was breathing heavy.
“How do you feel?” asked
“Same.” blinked Lupin ”Should I feel different?”
“Only if I made mistake. Let us rest, ”he grumbled and walked to the bathroom, picking up his night shirt and house robe.
Snape turned the water on the shower and stand beneath it, letting the water wash away the feeling of weakness. He closed his eyes, inside his mind, he could feel the link, he had a need to fiddle with it, much like a tooth that is in pain. He wondered what the full potentials of the link are, scroll just hinted more. He was anxious to explore it, but still uncertain of the consequences.
“Severus?” he turned around, pain cut him in half, he pressed his left hand on his ribs and stretched a right hand toward Lupin. Lupin was in the bathroom, looking confused and not sure whether to help or not.
“LUPIN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?!”
“I just wanted….”
“GET OUT!”
“Do you need help?” Lupin made a step toward him
“DON’T YOU DARE COME NEAR ME, GET OUUUUUUUUUUT!!!!”
Lupin just looked at him, with hurt in his eyes and walked out. He slides against the wall, sitting on the shower floor, panting heavily from pain and anger. He slowly gets up and turns off the water. Dried himself and dressed. He conjured a phial of pain numbing potion and drank half of it, waiting to take effect.
He entered the room. Lupin was on his bed, looking like he is sleeping. With a heavy sigh, he lied down and mumbled Nox, room was dark.
“Severus…”
“What is it Lupin…ermmm…Remus?” grumbled fighting a notion to get up and simply strangle Lupin.
“What is the word?”
“The word?”
“Yes, the word that will stop me.”
“Why? Does it matter?”
“I have to know if someone…”
“Lupin…” he sat in bed ”Lumos. Lupin, the link is between you and me, not you and whole wizarding community.”
“Oh! Thank you, Severus.”
“Can we sleep now?”
“Yes. I’m sorry Severus.”
“Just, sleep. Nox.” he was on the end of his nerves. ”Lupin.”
“Yes?”
“Prohibere, that is the word.”
“Thank you, Severus.”
“Yes. And, Remus….”
“Mhm.”
“If I see you in the bathroom once more, while I am in there, you are dead. Did I made myself clear?”
“Perfectly.” giggled Lupin.
Room was quiet now. He closed his eyes and focused on the link. He could sense vibrations from crystals through the link. Soon he sunk into a slumber.
