RP: Making Up Is Hard to Do - pt2 - Severus/Remus, PG
Title: Making Up Is Hard to Do Part 2
By: snapesgirl and elfflame
Rating: PG (this part)
Summary: Severus Snape is sent to deliver a missive to Remus Lupin Summer of 1993.
A/N: Here's part two, which takes place the night of the Welcoming Feast at Hogwarts.
Part 1
Sev: *enters great hall from behind head table and pauses to glare at newest professor. sweeps to his usual seat and tries to ignore the person to his left.*
Ree: *looks up when Sev enters, then sighs and turns to his other side, chatting with Charity about Muggles and trying to distract himself*
Sev: *harsh whisper* I thought you were going to refuse. What happened to not partaking of any sweets while in his office?
Ree: *sighs, then glances at Severus* *soft* You know he wins every argument, Severus... I had no choice. *glances over to the table where Ron is still sitting alone, and looks worried* As evidenced by the Dementor that searched the train. Did you hear that Harry collapsed?
Sev: *tight nod* The boy who lives to torment me will be fine. Pomfrey has a large stash of chocolate on hand no thanks to those filthy beasts being here. *mutters something about just once wanting to see Dumbledore lose an arguement.*
Ree: *sighs* Severus... *quiets as Dumbledore rises to his feet and greets the children, then watches as the sorting begins, relaxing when he sees Harry return just as they finish*
Sev: *glowers at Potter as boy enters and takes a seat.* Please spare us from any inept students this year
Ree: *sees Neville glance their way with a shiver, then quickly stare back at the table* Let me guess... You're worse with your students than you ever were with your classmates?
Sev: Nonsense. Potions is a very dangerous subject. I insist they behave, pay attention and do things as carefully as possible. Thank the gods Longbottom doesn't have a sibling, or his terror of a grandmother would have that one quaking in fear of its own shadow like he does.
Ree: Longbottom...you mean...that's Frank and Alice's boy?
Sev: Yes. Frank's mother is a right nasty harriden. Longbottom is in the wrong house. However, Hogwarts doesn't have one for rabbits...or sheep for that matter
Ree: *frowns at him, starting when he hears Dumbledore say his name, then smiles, the expression becoming genuine when Harry and his friends clap loudly for him*
Sev: *barely claps hands twice while staring straight ahead*
Ree: *focuses on Dumbledore's announcement about Hagrid, also clapping loud and grinning, then sends him a thumbs-up* *soft* It's so good to see he's doing so well here. It's too bad he couldn't have taught when we were here...
Sev: *contemplates beating his head on the table* I see a lot of extra brewing in my future.
Ree: *frowns, looking at him* Why? Hagrid won't need potions to control the creatures...
Sev: The victims of his not so little pets will be filling the infirmary. When have you ever known a child to pause and fully listen during a lesson?
Ree: *sighs* I think you underestimate them, Severus. They're not stupid. I'm sure they know to be careful without having been told.
Sev: Ask Potter's sprog about "Fluffy". Trust me, when confronted with such a monstrosity, a normal healthy child will not be listening to how "nice and gentle" the beast is.
Ree: *frowns* "Fluffy?"
Sev: Big three headed dog, likes music, almost ripped a piece out of my leg two years ago. Damned thing was capable of eating the doors off the main entrance.
Ree: *blinks* A...three-headed dog? Why were you attacked by a three-headed dog?
Sev: Because the Headmaster was insane enough to borrow said beast from Hagrid. Who by the way, 'got it off some Greek fellow'.
Ree: *frowns, sure he's still not understanding a piece of the puzzle* I...see...
Sev: This is not an institution of learning. It is an insane asylum and it is run by the biggest lunatic of our times. I really should have refused his offer of amnesty. I could be in a nice comfortable cell instead of sitting next to a werewolf
Ree: *huffs, rolling his eyes* Well, then...don't let us keep you... *smiles as the food appears* Ah... I am famished. *begins to carefully fill his plate*
Sev: *shifts in his seat, half turning from Lupin and begins to select his meal. Is very picky about the foods he chooses*
Ree: *sees that, then frowns* No wonder you're still so rail-thin. Do you even eat when you're not at the head table?
Sev: Yes, Mother, I do eat regular meals. *glares at Charity when she giggles and spears some grilled eggplant*
Ree: *chuckles with her, exchanging a glance, then looks back at Severus* I'm sorry...I just thought you might actually fill out as an adult and leave that... Well...I thought given regular meals, you might actually put on weight...not lose more.
Sev: *grinds his teeth while serving self asparagus tips, braised carrots and assorted greens.* Some of us do not crave excessive amounts of sweets. *pointedly looks at Charity's hips*
Ree: *shakes his head as Charity gives a sniff* You never learn, do you, Severus? *sighs, then focuses on his food, enjoying having a hot meal with all of the food groups that he did not have to make himself*
Sev: Learn what? Tact is for people who cannot properly use sarcasm. *moves platter of rare beef closer to Lupin*
Ree: *glowers at him* Tact keeps people from going to war over things that could be handled if people just kept their tempers. But then, you and Sirius never did understand that concept...
Sev: Do not bring your little friends into this. They were the ones to gang up on a single person. Funny how they were incapable of meeting me one on one.
Ree: *sighs, closing his eyes, then pinches the bridge of his nose* Can we not do this at the head table?
Sev: If you didn't want to discuss this, why did you bring the subject up? *moves once more to have his back slightly turned to Lupin.*
Ree: *sighs again, then pointedly ignores him while he eats, glancing at Harry again, looking sad*
Sev: *winces when a large chocolate cake appears in front of him. moves platter to the left* Filthy beasts will be making every meal a chore.
Ree: *scowls at him* It's perfectly lovely, Severus. I don't know why you're so picky... *smiles, serving himself a huge slice onto the clean plate that has appeared*
Sev: I loathe and detest Dementors and the need to have an allergen placed in front of me.
Ree: *is silent, realizing he'd forgotten that particular tidbit*
Sev: *picks at remains of his meal, downs the rest of his beverage and sighs* Nothing like having a hoard of sugared up urchins to deal with.
Ree: *glowers at him* They're not that bad, Severus. Give them a chance. And it's not like you have to deal with them right now. They're all off to bed.
Sev: In theory, they are all off to their dorms. In reality, the sixth and seventh years will be trying to find snogging places and or partners. The fifth years will be doing their best to terrify the first years while those in between will be climbing the walls from all the sweets they've eaten.
Ree: *shakes his head, then stands* If you insist on finding something to complain about, you will always do so. But that doesn't mean you should. *moves to head up to his assigned room, exhausted from the moon a few nights before, and wanting a good long rest before classes in the morning*
Sev: *watches him leave and smirks to self. moves to follow students into corridor and begins to have fun terrorizing the little hooligans*
