Looking at Lupin, Severus frowned.

This was not his plan - his plan was elegant and subtle. Now his carefully designed plan had no meaning. Now, on top of all, he was humiliated, even more, downgraded to werewolf's medi-witch.

Looking around the tiny room, Snape frowned again. A few unpacked books in travel binders, two rather shabby suitcases not fully unpacked.

Merlin, he is living like Muggle soldier .

The room was in depressing, beige and brown, shades. The man on the bed moaned and he looked at Lupin almost with curiosity.

Lupin from his school days was sickly looking, thin but handsome without a doubt. This Lupin was different. the skin was yellowish, he had dark circles around his eyes, with an aura of permanent exhaustion around him. Sandy hair had too many greys for his age. Lupin had the appearance of a person battered with problems. A person living its life in constant pain.

The old man gave me a hell of a task this time.

On top of all that, he's appointed to take care of someone he wanted as far away as possible. Humiliated once more by Dumbledore's lack of sensitivity. Like he did not have already his hands full with watching over the Potter menace.

With deep displeasing high, Snape examined both chambers appointed to Lupin. Frowned at weak wards on one of them, then summoned house elf asking for some books and a tea.

It was time for devising a new plan, the prospect of that did not make his mood any better, considering that answer was simple and staring at him from the beginning. No matter how he tried to circumvent it, the answer was still the same.

For the rest of the day, Lupin was in and out of slumber. That was a far from the peaceful day for Snape. Lupin was moaning in his sleep, screaming even when nightmares caught up with him. But mostly, Lupin just mumbled with fear in his sleep.

"No, I can't,...lavender, chamomile, cedar...I can't,...".

Severus was more than a little baffled with that mumbling.
