Characters: Severus Snape and Remus Lupin
Setting: Starting in the library then moving into the corridor
Summary: Severus is studying in the library when he and Remus begin a heated discussion and are asked to leave.
Rating: PG-13 for possible language

With the excitement of the ball winding down Severus steals away to the library to catch up on the homework that was neglected. A small mountain of books surrounded Severus as his quill scratched across the parchment. He loved studying Defense Against the Dark Arts because he found the Dark Arts so fascinating, but today thoughts of that night at the Whomping Willow were distracting him. The ball had been a good distraction but every once in awhile when he had some time to himself, Severus' mind would resurface the events of that night along with the conversation he had with James in the Hospital Wing. Severus had put a few pieces of key information together and now had a pretty good piece of dirt on the Marauders, particularly Remus.

Just then the door to the library opened and who should walk in but the very subject of Severus' most recent thought. This could be fun, and after a few verbal jabs I'll be in a better mood to finish up this essay.

"Remus, do you happen to know the features that distinguish a werewolf from a normal one?" Severus whispered as the Gryffindor passed his table.

"Funny how the staff would expel me for telling the truth and yet leave you lot in here to wreak havoc with nothing more than a slap on the wrist." Severus was beginning to lose control of his emotions. He had never really had a problem with Remus until now. Remus seemed to be channeling the putrescence that embodied Black and Potter.

"Not controlling her? He breaks her heart one day and she is a sodding mess never wanting to speak to him again, but without reason she agrees to take him back and forgive him. That seems a lot like control to me." Severus' fists shook at his sides, the rage threatening to boil over. "I would never hurt her like that again. I didn't fully understand the slur until I used it that day and saw the hurt in her eyes. She's my best friend and after one mistake she refuses to speak to me yet Potter steers her wrong left and right but she overlooks that and forgives him." With Remus's last comment Severus snapped. Before Severus knew what was happening, his fist was colliding with the side of Remus' face.

Remus had never breathed a word of his real feelings toward Lily, but the idea of her with Severus, even as friends made his bloody boil. When Severus insulted his friends, Remus's forehead furrowed and a grimace marred his face.

"Oh right, sure you didn't understand that calling your supposed "friend" a Mudblood would hurt her feelings. Sometimes you only get once chance, Snape and you..."

But what Snape 'did' according to Remus never came out as the Slytherin's fist collided with Remus's cheek. The Gryffindor stumbled back a few paces, more out of shock than anything, his anger fully peaked and raging. Recovering quickly, Remus threw his own punch and hitting Severus's face as well.

"Bugger off, you slimy git!" Remus yelled, his face flushed with anger. His hands were still clenched into fists, fully ready for the Slytherin to try and strike again.

Severus was in shock that he had resorted to physical violence considering he was not particularly muscular at all. This shock didn't last long as Remus' fist made contact Severus' face, splitting his bottom lip on the side. Severus tasted the blood and glared at Remus.

"Piss off, flea bag!" Severus retorted as he lunged at Remus with his fist drawn back for another blow.

Remus would have all the time in the world another day and another time to actually dwell on how out of character this whole situation was but for now he was blinded by his anger. Like Severus, he didn't have much muscle other than what he got from the moons, meaning he had a slight upper hand.

When Snape lunged at him Remus caught his hands and pushed him backwards. He swung, aiming for his chest and sneering as he did.

"You started this, Snape! You're getting what you deserve. For hurting Lily, bugging my friends, being a slimy git."

The punch Remus threw landed square in Severus' stomach, knocking the wind out of him and sending him staggering back clutching his abdomen. Severus doubled over with a coughing fit trying to catch his breath. This was beyond out of hand but logic was failing Severus right now with the adrenaline coursing through him.

"No, Potter and his followers started this! I wouldn't have hurt Lily had Potter not humiliated me that day. Apparently you hadn't noticed that Potter and Black attack me, not the other way around! This school has been a prison, save for my own house, since the day I got on that train but it's marginally better than home so I stay." Severus paused to catch his breath. "You know nothing of what I deserve. You're just a puppet in Potter's little game, shame is you don't realize it."

Severus had closed the gap between him and Remus with another lunging punch, hoping to inflict a bit more damage before Potter and Black rounded the corner which would just be his luck.

The logical part of Remus's brain that had been nagging at him since Severus spoke to him in the library was getting a bit louder. What was this going to achieve? Both of them getting black eyes and bloody faces? Remus felt the urge to walk away when Snape lapsed into a cough fit but his words flared up Remus's anger. The only words that stuck were about him being a puppet.

Before Remus had a chance to react, Severus's fist collided with his chin and sent Remus staggering backwards. As he stumbled backward, the Gryffindor drew his wand, his face suddenly gravely serious. Severus had crossed the line.

"I don't deny that my mates pick on you in sometimes excess, Snape. But maybe if you weren't snooping around us constantly they would have laid off." He spat in anger. "And I am not a puppet. Don't insult my intelligence."

His hand shook as he kept his wand poised on the Slytherin. There was a part of his that didn't want to actually curse his classmate, but he knew he could take Snape in a duel easier than fighting.

Severus grinned in partial triumph as the Gryffindor staggered back but the smile instantly turned into a scowl when Remus drew his wand. At this point Severus knew if he tried to get to his wand that Remus would hex him before his wand was drawn so instead he took a cautious step back.

"Now Remus, you don't want to stoop to Potter and Black's level by casting a curse on an unarmed student."

Severus eyed Remus' shaking hand and decided not to push him any farther for fear of the damage that could be done. Remus was a fair dueler and Severus didn't even have his wand drawn.

"Oh really? You think it's stooping to their level when you provoked me?" Remus sneered, knowing he had Snape pretty much cornered. However, Snape's last punch had rattled him pretty well meaning Remus would have a hard time fighting back if he wanted to.

"And I'm not that stupid, Snape. Why don't you just draw your wand and we'll see what happens?" He didn't think Snape was that stupid, but then again, they were both in a rage.
