It’s also yet another Motherless Child ficlet, because I can’t seem to quit those two no matter how much I try. This time it’s when Snape and Lupin are dating but Lupin still lives in Mayfair while Severus boards at Hogwarts.
“Eurovision?” Severus settled into the booth opposite Remus. His boyfriend (and what a wonderful thing that was) was intent on the telly over the bar, which showed a shrieking crowd applauding a waifish young woman’s song about dawn over Strelsau. “I’d no idea you were a fan.”

Severus narrowed his eyes. “Interesting. Durmstrang alumna?”
“She’s from Ruritania, so probable.” Remus scowled. “She’s using Sonorus and Charismatica, too. Right before Britain’s entry.”
