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.

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.
