Head in the sand

“Lupin, what is this?” Severus Snape was standing in the doorway of the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, holding a card in his hands.

“It's exactly what it looks like, Severus.” Lupin smiled mischievously.

“It's February, not the first of April, Lupin. This is not the time for jokes. The Weasley twins must be rubbing off on you.”

“It's not a joke, Severus. I'm totally serious.”

Severus Snape didn't know what to say. It was strange enough that he had developed some sort of friendship with the werewolf the last few months, but a Valentine's card?

“I don't believe you, Lupin!” Severus stated. The man had to be joking. He couldn't remember anyone sending him an actual Valentine's card before, and now Lupin, of all people, was sending him one?

“Well, the card says everything you need to know, Severus. But if you prefer to stick your head in the sand and ignore this, it's your loss.” Remus said, and kissed him lightly on the cheek on his way out of the room.

Severus stood nailed to the floor, speechless, his fingers tracing the wet mark on his confused face.


The Morning After

When Remus finally managed to open his eyes, he could feel his body hurting all over. The battle was over, the Dark Lord defeated and the magical world was safe once more, but at what prize? Remus had no idea what lives had been lost or what damage had been done after he was hit by a hex he didn't recognize.

He had been blinded and stunned for a long while, but had somehow managed to drag his body into some sort of shelter where he had passed out.

Suddenly he heard a groan. He twitched. He thought he was alone, but apparently someone was lying beside him. He managed to turn over to the other side and saw a dark clad body next to him.

“Severus?” Remus asked with hope in his voice.

The other person groaned once again and Remus stretched out his hand to turn the other person towards him. His heart was pounding.

A huge smile appeared on Remus' face. It was him.

All was well.
