Summary: That scene in PoA? Didn't go exactly as written.




“Have you even considered that this map might lead Sirius Black directly to you?”

“Nope. Didn’t think of that.” Harry fiddled with the string on his sweatshirt. “Doesn’t matter since it doesn’t even work.”

“What do you mean, it doesn’t work, Harry?”

“Well, it has on there someone I know to be dead - Peter Pettigrew. And besides, you told me yourself that you and Professor Snape don’t fight, but almost every day this map showed me that you’re wrestling or fighting or... or something.”


“Wait. That’s not possible... Peter Petti-- WHAT?! YOU WERE WATCHING US ON THIS MAP?”

“Like I said, it doesn’t work. I think it was stuck in some kind of loop ‘cause, you see your little name here?”

“Yeah?”

“And my name is right next to it, right?”

“Yes, Harry, I can see that just fine.”

“Well, it was showing you and Professor Snape wiggling around together in the same spot.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah.”

“...”

“So, can I go back to--”

“Yes! Yes, go back to bed. It’s late, and you should be asleep. I’ll just... just keep this for a little while, alright?”

“Yeah. Goodnight, Professor Lupin.”

---OOO---

“HE WAS WATCHING US EVERY NIGHT! LIKE SOME SORT OF... I DON’T EVEN KNOW!” Remus paced back and forth in Severus Snape’s quarters. He ran his hands through his hair, rustling it and making it stick up in various places.

Severus sat in his chair, trying to read a book. “You’re overreacting. This is Potter we’re talking about, yes? He probably doesn’t have a clue as to what it means. The boy lacks the imagination to consider the possibility of relations between the two of us.”

“Severus, it’s Harry Potter. He’ll figure it out.”

“Remus, it’s Harry Potter. He hates me. He likes you. He will not imagine that someone he likes could be with someone he hates in any sort of relationship other than a negative one.” Severus turned the page in his book and crossed his legs.

“I wish Sirius and James had never made that map.”

“They were your friends, not mine.” Severus tried not to be bothered by the news, but somehow he couldn’t seem to get any reading done. He was thinking too long about the map and Harry and what it meant for Peter Pettigrew to still be alive. “Are you sure the map works?”

Remus tossed the map in Severus’s lap. “This map does not lie. To be honest, it was made by all of us.”

“Meaning you did the research, Sirius and James did the magic, and Peter watched on and giggled.” Severus looked at the parchment in his lap. He picked it up and handed it back to Remus. He set his book down on the table next to him. “Come here.”

Remus sighed and then went to sit in Severus’s lap. He draped his long legs over the side of the chair and leaned his head on Severus’s shoulder. “It’s embarrassing.”

“Only because you’re thinking too much about it. You have to remember that Harry Potter is only 13 years old. He likely doesn’t register sexual relations as a possibility yet - especially between two men.” Severus leaned in and kissed Remus’s neck while lifting his shirt up for better access to his nipples.

“Mmmm, maybe. I do tend to over-think things sometimes, don’t I?”

Severus’s hand slipped down to the front of Remus’s trousers while he nibbled on the man’s neck just under the ear. “Yes, you do.”

“I guess I was more worried about... about him remembering it later when he is thinking about sex all the time.” Remus moved his neck to give Severus better access, but his lover froze and then pulled back.

He looked like a deer caught in a Lumos. “We need to go obliviate that boy right now.”
