The Lupin/Snape Lurve Community

This is my first entry for snapedom's Summer Fest exchange, which is similar to our Trading Places fic/art exchange. Technically it's gen, but I couldn't resist throwing in a few Snupin-y hints, and I would eventually like to write a sequel where they actually get together. The story revolves mainly around Snape; Lupin shows up about halfway through.

Title: The Return of the Slytherins
Pairings: Gen, but with a few slashy hints if you look at it the right way.

Disclaimer: No money is being made off this story; consider it a little wish fulfillment on my part.

Summary: Written for Snapedom's Summer Fest exchange, and based the_bitter_word's art, Severus Crossing the Hogwarts Lake. Snape survives Nagini's attack, and returns to fight in the battle at Hogwarts--and is surprised when his Slytherins want to join him.

Author's note: For readers of my Snupin stories, the Theodore and Blaise here are based on the canon version of the characters, not the the Theo and Blaise from the Always series, although I did borrow the character of Serafina Avery to help round out the Slytherins. Hope that doesn't confuse anyone.
