Who: Severus Snape and Sirius Black (and Remus, if he wants to jump in)
When: Just after Sirius comes 'home'
Where: The flat they all share - fate is so cruel to these three...
Rating/Warnings: Most likely hexing and swearing for sure
Status: In progress, closed to all else
For a few short days Severus had almost been able to relax. To be sure, he'd not let his guard down completely - mistrustful of everyone and everything as he was - but Lupin had left him alone, true to his word, and Severus had also kept his word. And things had.... worked... for those few days, Severus had even achieved restful sleep, the doors heavily warded none the less, but he'd never slept so well in his life.
He should have known it would not last.
It was evening, and Severus was returning from using the bathroom, fully ready for bed - he preferred bathing at night, a habit born from trying to avoid his housemates, who usually bathed in the morning - when the front door handle started to jiggle. Severus first paid it no mind, he lived with Lupin after all - but then he recalled he couldn't remember Remus leaving the flat that day... If it wasn't Remus... realization dawned slowly...
The door swung open a split second before Severus had the sense to reach for his wand.
