"I'm sorry, Severus! How many times do I have to say it?" Remus had raised his fist to pound on the age-black oak door when it swung open. "I didn't mean to - "

"To do what, Lupin?" Severus, in a faded Slytherin House quidditch coach t-shirt and Remus' oldest pair of joggers, glared down through his hair. "Turn my hair pink like that appalling creature you dated? How stupid of me, to think that capillus rosa meant something - "

"I was trying to cast it on myself!" Remus slapped his hands against the doorframe and glared back. "You cut me off before I could finish incanting!"

Severus' jaw dropped. "What? Why?"

"To see you smile!" Remus rolled his eyes. "After that crack about rosy-fingered Dawn turning my hair pink, I thought you'd like to see it actually happen."

"Oh." Severus tugged at a lock of oily, dark rose hair. "Oh."

Drabble offering from 7-29-11's night of Drabbles and Drawbles.

See what's been started by me being brave enough to actually let people see something I've written? This came to me while at work today. "Instant" anything is a pet peeve of mine in the first place.........


Instant


“Severus, listen to this!” Remus said excitedly, looking over his copy of the Daily Prophet as they sat at the kitchen table having their breakfast. “New Breakthrough – INSTANT Wolfbane potion! Just mix the powdered formula with plain tap water and you have a perfect dose every time! Totally foolproof, it takes the difficulty out of brewing Wolfsbane potion and puts it within the reach and abilities of everyone! Minister of Magic Kingsley Shackelbolt is interested in hearing both pros and cons of this new approach from certified Potions Masters and Lycanthropes.” Remus read. He took off his reading glasses and held them in his hand, absently sticking one of the bows in his mouth and worrying it with his teeth. “What do you think about this, Severus?” he said. “It would certainly eliminate all the time you spend brewing the potion for me every month and leave you free to do more enjoyable things.”

Severus looked at Remus like he was convinced Remus had taken leave of his senses. “The most intelligent part of that article was Shackelbolt saying he wanted to hear from certified Potions Masters! That is the most ludicrous thing I have ever heard in my life, INSTANT Wolfsbane Potion! I would point out four things to you, Lupin, as examples. INSTANT tea, INSTANT coffee, INSTANT potatoes and INSTANT pudding. Need I say more? I think those four items say it all, don’t you? If you need further clarification, I ask you, what would you think if, on one of my evenings to cook, I served you instant potatoes with your meal and instant coffee and pudding for afters?”

Remus dropped the paper on the table and followed it with his glasses. “I’d think you were really busy that day?” he said with an almost sheepish look on his face.

“Rubbish, Remus, you know what you’d think! Have I ever served you such swill and tried to pass it off as any kind of sustenance? Do I not, if for whatever reason I feel I cannot or would prefer not to put the proper time and attention to preparing the meal, suggest that we eat out? Or that we obtain take away of some variety? If you ever tried to serve me any of those items, I would think that you had ceased to love me and were trying to poison me!” Severus said emphatically, standing up and leaning on the table towards Remus for dramatic effect. “You can’t tell me that these so called time saving instant food SUBSTITUES aren’t major contributors to the decay of family life and solidarity in many muggle and wizarding families!!”

“Now Severus, don’t you think that’s a little extreme? Although I will agree that you make valid points where you and I are concerned. If you feel that strongly about it, then tell Kingsley! I can’t think of anyone who is as skilled in potions brewing as you are! Most everyone, whether or not they like you, agrees that you are one of the most, if not THE most, skilled potions masters in all of Britain. I know if you feel this strongly about it can’t be of any kind of an option! I trust your judgment implicitly.” Remus said in a soothing tone.

Severus looked at Remus seeming a little placated by Remus comments. “What on earth ever gave you the idea that I wanted to be freed from the time I spent brewing the Wolfsbane Potion for you each month anyway? I enjoy it, you idiot! Besides, I care far too much for you to risk your health and well being on some quack idea! You can’t tell me that if somehow these dunderheads convinced the Ministry to sanction this ludicrous concoction, and you and others took it and subsequently bit or killed someone, that you wouldn’t be held responsible? When in reality it would be the fools who came up with the ridiculous formula in the first place? Although I have to admit I would question the judgment of any imbecile who would try this…..THING…..instead of a reliably brewed proper potion! And what about if you were to end up dead because of it, or in Azkaban? Would anyone worry about compensating me for being deprived of your company, as trying as it may be sometimes? Of course they wouldn’t!” he said, still frowning but finally sitting down again.

Remus smiled at Severus and said, “I love you too, darling!” with a totally besotted look on his face. “I wouldn’t want to do anything to jeopardize us being together! But I was serious about you speaking to Kingsley. There are too many lives at risk from this!”

Severus rolled his eyes at the first part of Remus comment. “Silly, soppy werewolf” he grumbled, while managing to look completely pleased at the same time. “I will go and write Shackelbolt now. You can do the washing up by yourself since I will be so engaged. Besides, it’s only fair since you brought this to my attention in the first place! Instant Wolfsbane potion indeed! Of all the idiotic…..” Severus said as he got up and left the room and headed for their study.

“But of course, Severus, you are completely correct as always. It is only fair!” Remus said at Severus retreating back eyes still shining with the love he felt for his mate. There were only a few dishes to wash anyway, and if Severus felt so passionately about this subject then his time would be better spent making his opinions known. Especially since Severus had reaffirmed how much he loved Remus without having to actually say the words he found so difficult.

He could only hope that Severus didn’t send Kingsley a Howler with his opinion!
