Desire ; Remus Lupin

- BETRAYAL, OR NOT.

Sana's pov: 

Shit. 

This was nowhere near good. If Snape bothered to come into my common room to drag me out of it and 'talk', I can expect anything but good news. 

If he managed to find out I've been out with Remus, both me and him could be in serious trouble. Not because of our relationship, but because of his connections with the Dark Lord. 

Either way, this can't be good. 

He guides me through the hallway into the dungeons, then into a cold room. This might be his office, I wouldn't know. I barely visit these sides of the castle. 

I decide to inspect the place, run my fingers through his black stone walls. Basically do everything to avoid his piercing gaze. 

"Do you mind? It's creepy." I complain, rolling my eyes at his lack of reaction. "Watch your mouth, White." 

I ignore him, instead I notice a couple bottles of what looks like a brand new potion. It was set carefully on his desk along with a bunch of other scattered objects. 

"That's exactly what I came to talk to you about." 

I snap my head in his drection. "Your... potions? "  I question, confused and relieved at the same time. "Forgive me, professor, but I'm really not the best student to assist you in brewing." 

"So I have noticed, you tend to skip my classes after all." He adds smugly and reaches to his desk, grabbing one of the potions carefully. "Not just any potion, silly girl. Wolfsbane." 

I laugh. 

Look at him, nod as if to say go on.

"It's a full moon tomorrow, you know what to do with this." 

He hands me the bottles carefully. I grab them from his hands reluctantly. This whole situation is more than just confusing. 

He befriends his childhood 'enemy', shows up at a meeting with the actual enemy, now wants to help Remus one again? 

I'm struggling to understand how a man like him is so incapable of showing emotion, yet deep inside probably immense stains of regret and guilt for all he has done. 

I must say, it's admirable.

"Go." He demands, "Might take these with you. They're for you, they...help with the anxiety." Snape hands me some pills and scurries me out the door, shutting the door behind me as soon as I step out of his room. 

Did Severus Snape just give me his version of wizard drugs? 

I laugh to myself, running both of my hands through my hair and tossing it to one side of my shoulders. "Unbelievable." I mutter to myself. 

The corridors are pretty empty in the afternoon. Everyone's either having lunch, at the gardens, or doing god knows what in their bedrooms.

But now, now it's different. People are slowly starting to worry more and more. Rumours about students being convicted Death Eaters are much more popular now. 

Theodore Nott's dad even decided him to pull him out of Hogwarts for the time being. What's being said is that his dad is unwell. But he's very well. I've seen it. 

The thought of it makes me weak in the stomach. I'm not friends with many Slytherins anymore, but the parents of the ones who I am friends with, are dragging their children into the mess they have created. 

Voldemort has so much power over everyone, it's hard to believe we'll be able to stop him. 

Hell, look at me. I believed my mum was dead for months just to find out she was part of Voldemort's plan to join them.
