Severus stared at the door with the prominent number twelve on it. He was more than twenty minutes early for his meeting with Lupin. Thankfully, he still thought of him as Lupin, most of the time.
It was inconceivable, but he had counted the days since he had seen the man. It was day nine. Remus had missed the Order meeting whilst he dealt with an out of control adolescent, namely Harry Potter. Sirius Black had been unavailable for some unknown reason and it had sent Potter into a full teenaged tantrum, riddled with everything one could imagine from an out of control wizard. The castle remained standing so Severus assumed the crisis brought back from the brink.
Today, Severus was delivering the Wolfsbane potion. He had allowed himself a few more minutes of Lupin's company, so he best make use of it. With a wave of his wand and a few words the door swung open. He checked over his shoulder before he slipped inside.
"Harder!" Sirius grunted. "Put your back into it!"
A muffled sound followed.
"That's it! Keep going!"
Another groan and the slap of flesh drifted down the stairway.
Severus could feel the color as it left his face. He should have known better, of course. Their dalliance was merely a diversion. Something different, but not so different was it? Lupin, obviously, had a type: dark haired, dark eyed, brilliant, but damaged men. The door behind him swung open.
"Hello, Severus. You're early." Remus smiled.
"Faster!"
Severus looked at Remus and then up the stairs and back at Remus.
"Sorry. I was out and they obviously forgot the silencing charm. Let's go into the kitchen." Remus gestured to the doorway.
The door swung closed behind them before Severus asked "Who is up there with him?"
"Tonks. Would you like some tea?" Remus pulled a glass from the cupboard and filled it with water.
"Tea?" Severus shook his head. "Tea would be fine. Which Tonks? Ted or Nymphadora?"
Remus threw his head back and laughed. "Nymphadora."
"But they’re cousins."
Remus shrugged. "Second cousins, actually. She likes danger; he theoretically can’t leave the house."
"Meaning, of course, that he does." Severus grumbled.
"I haven't actually caught him at it, but I think Dumbledore might have." Remus took the pot off the fire and added the tea. "Just milk right?"
"Right." Severus shook his head. "Cousins." He mused.
"Some say incest is best. Probably, one of the Black family mottos from what I've seen. I'm ready for the potion."
Severus stiffened his spine he needed to be professional; this was why he was here after all. He cast an enlargement charm on the vial he had been carrying. Remus took it from his fingers and gulped it down. The werewolf followed it with a large glass of water taken all in one go.
"Lupin, you'll choke."
Remus grinned. "Yeah, if I don't have the water I will. That is completely vile, you know but worth the momentary discomfort."
"So how often does this happen?" Severus asked.
"Once a month, twice if it’s a blue moon."
Severus rolled his eyes. "I'm well aware of the phases and schedule of the moon. I was referring to the activities upstairs."
Remus shrugged. "I'm not really sure. They are pretty good about silencing charms and I am in and out with my daily errands and Dumbledore's various missions."
"I guess I just always saw Black with the prettiest girls. His cousin doesn't fit the mould."
"She's a Metamorphmagus. She can look like anyone or any way. Beautiful, pretty, cute, striking, male, female."
Severus' eyes widened. "Male?!"
"It's not unheard of Severus. There a men who do prefer men."
Severus shook his head to clear the jumble of thought in his head. "Yes, I know that Lupin. I just didn't picture Black in that arena."
"When we were young he didn’t care who adored him. Male or female, it didn't matter to him. He was careful to be seen with girls then. I imagine he probably still likes it both ways and Nymphadora most definitely can provide that."
"Have you ever watched?" Severus whispered.
"No. But I wasn't gone that long today so I imagine round two is probably coming up. We could have a look if you'd like."
How? Did he really what to? Half a dozen questions popped into his head. He'd never actually watched people as they had sex. Wizard porn mags didn't count, none if it was real and no one ever finished. He could be worldly about his couldn't he? "I wouldn't be opposed to a show."
"Come on then." Remus held out a hand.
Severus took it cautiously and he wondered when he had become such a pervert.
