The Observers

Harry turned and looked at Remus, Bill, and Neville, shaking his head. "I'm sorry, Remus. I should have known he'd be like this."

Remus extracted himself from Bill's and Neville's arms, and walked across the kitchen to Harry. "No, Harry. You've nothing to apologize for." He turned and looked back at Neville. "You either. You only did what you thought was best and confided in ones you trusted. And there is nothing wrong with that. Severus's opinion is just that and he is entitled to it. There will be others that feel the same way."

Harry opened his mouth to protest and Remus held up a hand. "No matter how much it hurts. He does have a right to his feelings just as we have our right to carry on as we choose. No one can take that away from us."

He sighed deeply and closed his eyes for a moment, feeling the potion working its way through his body. "Let's take this some place a bit more comfortable." He flicked his wand at the range, warming the kettle again.

Neville led Harry into the sitting room and Bill began to gather the tea service. He stopped and turned to Remus drawing him into his arms. Running his nose along Remus's neck, he nuzzled the soft skin just behind Remus's ear.

Remus groaned and leaned back against Bill's chest, rubbing against him as he reached up and held on to his arms.

"How long is he going to be here, Remus?" Bill growled softly and nibbled on Remus's earlobe.

Remus swallowed and turned in Bill's arms. He pressed himself against Bill firmly and threaded his hands in Bill's hair, tugging his face down for a hard kiss. "I don't know, but knowing Severus. He will be back in the morning for Harry and he'll have a dose of Wolfsbane as well. He's too bloody stubborn and proud not too. So be prepared for another round."

Bill sighed as he pulled away and rolled his head, his neck popping as he turned it side to side. "Merlin, I don't know if I can listen to more of that self-righteous codswallop. Especially with him being just as bent as we are!"

Remus chuckled then shook his head. "I know. However, Severus's feelings aren't just his alone. Many people will condemn this triad and not just because of the homosexual aspect." He took a deep breath and let it out as he flicked his wand at the tea service. "I'm afraid of what this will mean for Neville, what it will do to his reputation."

Bill grinned. "I think you are underestimating Neville, Moony. You keep doing that and one of these times, he's going to surprise the hell out of you."

Remus gathered everything onto a tray. He smiled at Bill and nudged him with the edge of the tray. "He already has."

Harry was sitting on the sofa, waiting for Severus when the Floo activated the next morning. It wasn't quite yet day light and Harry shook his head. Glad he's refused the extra bedroom, he stood, arms crossed over his chest, as he waited for Severus to step on to the hearth.

"I see you've tried to sneak in early and leave them the potion, Severus. That does give you some points but it still doesn't excuse your attitude from yesterday."

Severus stiffened and glared at Harry. "Potter."

Harry narrowed his eyes at Severus. "Don't Potter me, you great bat!" He crossed the room and pushed himself into Severus's personal space. "I trusted you with my concerns about my friends and you came here to their home and acted like an arse! If I had known you felt that way I would have brought the potion here myself and saved us all a load of heartache."

Severus nudged Harry out of his way and pushed past him to the kitchen, "Drop it, Potter, this is neither the time nor the place for this discussion. My feelings on the wolves and their irreprehensible behaviour shouldn't have any bearing on our relationship and you have made it personal."

Harry followed behind him. "Me?! You're the one who acted like a troll who didn't know his arse from a hole in the ground! Don't turn this around on me, Severus!"

He stopped and glared at Severus as he drew up the goblets and placed the potion in them. "What is the problem exactly? Just what about their relationship supposedly offends you so much that you had to allow it to nearly destroy our friendship? Look at me, Severus." He paused. "Think carefully on how you answer because our relationship is now hanging in the balance as well."

Someone cleared their throat and both Harry and Severus turned to look.

Remus and Neville stood in the doorway, clad in pyjamas and rumpled from bed. "Morning, Harry, Severus."

Harry smiled at them and nodded. "Morning. My apologies, I didn't mean to wake you."

Remus shrugged and entered the kitchen. "Not a problem. It's been a long night." He pulled down some mugs and Neville moved to the range to start the kettle.

Remus eyed Severus. "Do you happen to have any Pepper-up with you? Bill's a bit under the weather this morning."

Neville snorted and Remus glared at him then turned back to Severus. "If it's a matter of cost, I'll pay extra for it. I know you still keep a few hidden phials on you sometimes."

Severus arched a brow. "The cost or supply isn't the issue. You know nothing can be taken with the Wolfsbane."

Remus frowned then nodded. "Right, I'd forgotten. Never have you minded then." He reached out and grabbed one of the goblets and downed the potion quickly. Shuddering, he picked up the other goblet and reached out, patting Neville's arm. "Hold off on the tea for a mo, Neville. Let's see if we can get this down him."

Neville nodded and sighed. "Might be better off just throwing it at each other as I don't think it'll stay down."

Remus chuckled and wrapped an arm around Neville's shoulders. "Be that as it may, if we some of this in him it's better than nothing come the night of the full."

He looked up at Severus and Harry. "Harry, thanks for staying but I do believe that you and Severus have something to discuss." He glanced at Severus then looked Harry in the eyes. "At home."

Harry blushed but nodded. "Thanks for putting me up for the night, Remus. You too, Neville. I hope Bill gets to feeling better."

Severus narrowed his eyes at them. "Weasley is ill? Did he have a reaction to the potion?"

Neville turned and looked at Severus. "No, he just likes to projectile vomit in the mornings," he snarled then covered his mouth, eyes wide, and his face flushed with colour.

Remus bit his lip as he stared at Neville and tried not to laugh as Severus blinked. He shook his head. "Yes, he's ill, and no, it wasn't the potion, Severus. We believe he ate some bad fish last night at dinner. We had takeaway from a new place."

Tugging on Neville's arm, he nodded at them, "We'll just be going back to bed so you can leave now, eh? Ta for the company and potion."

Harry watched them leave the kitchen then sighed as Severus pursed his lips and followed Remus and Neville out of the kitchen. He rolled his eyes, and pushed his way out after Severus.

Severus paused at the door to the bedroom and peered into the room.

"Merlin, Severus! Can't you leave well enough alone?" Harry crossed his arms over his chest and glared at Severus back.

Severus glanced over his shoulder then turned and eyed Harry. "You wanted to know why I was offended by this farce? Let me tell you something I've learned. People, in general, are selfish. Jealousy abounds and when more than two people are involved in something as delicate in nature like this then someone is bound to end up injured. Betrayal is also a factor. I could list example after example throughout history but in just yours alone the only one I'll give you is this: Peter Pettigrew."

Harry sucked in a breath and Severus continued. "It has also been my experience that with werewolves, there invariably will be some kind of malady. Here also from your recent history, Greyback comes to mind. In order to spare you and your friends that indignity, I was hoping to reason with them. I see that that is impossible." He turned back to the bedroom and watched the three men inside. Harry shoved his way under Severus's arm and watched as well.

Bill reclined against several pillows, eyes closed, and the blankets pulled up to his waist. Dark rings circled his eyes and his hair was plastered to his face. He appeared to be sleeping but every now and then his face would screw up in a grimace of pain and he lick his lips, shaking his head slightly as if dispelling a nasty taste in his mouth.

Neville padded out of the bathroom with a few wet flannels and climbed up onto the bed with him, brushing the auburn fringe off his forehead as Remus settled down beside him on the bed.

Bill opened his eyes and smiled at the two of them. "Have you come to put me out of my misery yet?"

Remus chuckled. "No, I will not shoot you but I do have your potion. Shall we see if you can stomach it?"

Bill grimaced and shook his head. "Don't want it. I heard Snape's melodious tones and I'd rather not listen to another diatribe about how I wasted his precious ingredients by upchucking them over the bed sheets."

Neville grinned and ran the washcloth over Bill's face gently. "It might help. Yesterday's dose put you both out for a bit. Might help settle your stomach some. If not, then we can try some catnip tea. I planted some out in the gardens."

Bill moaned softly and leaned into Neville's hands. "Ugh, no more teas. The ginger and peppermint ones nearly did me in last night."

Neville leaned in and pressed a kiss to Bill's temple. "There's always star anise or some fennel you could chew."

Remus nodded and ran his hand along Bill's blanket covered leg. "Which ever one we try, we should do it soon. I think you've almost purged everything from your system and you'll need this next dose of Wolfsbane, Bill."

Bill groaned. "I know, but I really don't want to heave up anything again."

Remus sighed and leaned forward, pressing his forehead to Bill's then kissed the same spot Neville had. "I realize that, but we can't mix anything Muggle with the potions either. So taking this now might do as Neville has suggested and settle your stomach with the added benefit of giving you some time to sleep and rest."

Neville smiled at him. "If you take it for me, I'll even lay here with you and later we can bathe together. If you're feeling up to it, I might even suck you off in the shower."

Bill rolled his head on the pillows and arched a brow at Neville. "Oi! Now that's just bloody evil; tempting a man with such things while he's on his death bed."

Neville ran his tongue slowly across his lips, then pulled his bottom lip into his mouth as he slid one hand down Bill's body. "If you're really good, I might even let you and Remus give me a facial. Would you like that? Can't you see me kneeling there in front of you both, wet and naked, water and come dripping off my face? I'll reached down and wrap my hand around my prick and stroke, arching my back as I fuck my hand just for you."

Bill moaned and slid Neville's hand down to his groin. Remus chuckled and placed his hand over theirs. "Right, you two, behave. Come on now, Bill, take your potion then we can all take a nap."

Bill sighed. "Spoilsport. All right, give it here. Just when he's started to get going and not blushing, you had to stop him." He reached out for the potion and winked at Neville, who blushed and bowed his head.

Remus rolled his eyes at them and passed the goblet to Bill. "Drugs and sleep now, sex later. I promise."

"Oh, thank Merlin!" Bill and Neville breathed together.

Harry narrowed his eyes and looked up at Severus. "You failed to take in account just who you were dealing with, Severus. Other than some over share from Neville…" he shuddered and looked up at Severus again. "I fail to see anything but caring, support and the forming of a strong, loving relationship between the three of them. I'm a lot less worried about Neville than I was before."

Severus straightened and shrugged. "I suppose… Gryffindor stupidity never ceases to amaze me."

Harry rolled his eyes and strode down the hall. "Let's go home, Severus, we have a few more things we need to discuss."
