HP drabbles: A Change Will Do You Good [Remus/Severus, general]
Title: A Change Will Do You Good Author: celandineb Fandom: HP Pairing: Remus/Severus (preslash) Rating: general Summary: Severus likes the Hogwarts routine. Note: For mnemosyne_1, who wanted Snape/Lupin, security.
Severus found it restful, returning to the Hogwarts routine each September. There was a security in knowing precisely what was expected of him.
In his sixth year, however, he was assigned to Remus Lupin as a Potions partner.
"Why aren't you working with one of your friends?" Severus growled under his breath.
Lupin shrugged. "Peter only got Acceptable on his O.W.L."
"Don't expect to coast on my coattails," Severus warned.
"I won't." Lupin's eyes gleamed amber as he began measuring armadillo bile. "I got Outstanding on mine."
Severus's pulse beat faster. Perhaps a little uncertainty, a little change, wasn't bad.
