The traitor walks the streets of Hogsmeade with his head held high, a known dark creature at his side. His wand tip flashes as he walks; his shoulders are relaxed but only another Death Eater would recognize the set of that spy’s shoulders as anything but aware.

Witches and wizards smile and nod, but there are others, like me, who squint their eyes and grimace in a parody of greeting as those dark eyes flicker over us. Blue-green eyes snap up and I halt in my steps.

There is hate in those eyes, and hint of beastly power. I yield.

---

Watching Severus’ back, the beast’s fingers at his waist, I almost choke on my ire, my bile. That could have been mine: the power, the passion, the intoxicating darkness.

Yet, I know in my heart, I could not hold his attention for long. The beast—Lupin in this incarnation—has more to attract Severus’ attention and heart than I.

There is some indefinable something about the pair as they weave through the crowd, something that marks them as apart from us, yet indivisible.

While I might lust for Severus’ magic and body, Lupin loves him wholly. That much is plain.
