They aren’t the first bonded wizards I’ve met, but they are by far the most interesting. If one looks cross-eyed, you can even see the tendrils of connected magic between the two of them.

Severus Snape is thin and sharp, both in mind and tongue. We come to a swift understanding when I Charm his robes to sweep dramatically behind as he exists a room.

Remus Lupin is a quiet one of dark, dark depths. He’s intelligent, with deprecating humor and a heart bigger than the British Isles. He’s also the first lycanthrope I’ve ever met. Glad he likes me.

“Professor Flitwick, when swishing and flicking, you might not want to point at Severus.”

I taught Severus the charm to change a ceiling from plain to spectacular, for Harry’s room. I think they protect the lad too much, but so would I if I saw how the Headmaster’s eyes gleam when they rest on the boy.

They taught me several new charms for cartography and ink-making, flourishing their wands in tandem, much to Harry’s delight.

During dinner, they spoke to me and Minerva, polite and guarded under Albus’ eye. Night and day, it was, the difference the old man makes.

I saw them by the lake without Harry one evening. They held themselves apart but it was obvious they were a couple. Their bodies swayed toward each other like filings to a magnet.

The squid waved an arm or three at them and Remus conjured a school of flying fish to entertain it. Severus chuckled. When the last one disappeared, they walked into the Forbidden Forest.

As the full moon rose over the trees, I heard the howl of a wolf. Soon, there was another cry ululating through the night air. The howls and the cry wove together, fading softly.
