Remus was sitting on the bed, pouting. His hair changing colours from brilliant pink to dark purple to orange, green, lemony yellow and back to pink again. He had to teach classes today, while students giggled looking at his hair. No matter how he tried, he could not remove the hex. He even went to Flitwick, but even Flitwick wasn't able to help.

Remus tried to glamour it, but the hex was glamour-proof.

Now, he was sitting on the bed and waiting for Snape, it was his hex - he has to know how to remove it. This did not make Remus happy, for the first time in his life, he got a taste of a very bitter medicine - he was the one on the receiving end of a practical joke.

Anger built up inside him like a roaring avalanche. Snape's footsteps neared and at this point, Remus was ready to attack. The second Snape entered the room he jumped, growling.

"Turn it back!"

"Merlin, Remus! What did you do with your hair?" Remus noticed with horror that Snape was about to start laughing. Severus's left cheek was swollen, blue with yellowish border.

"Whatever you did, undo it, Snape, now!"

"Oh, so we are back to last names." Sneered Snape at him. "You should have decided on that before you did this." Snape pointed at his bruised cheek.

"This ...this..." Remus tried to choke out, pointing at his hair.

"That . . . is not my doing." Replied Severus calmly "I can remove the hiccup if you want."

"You are the cause of a hiccup too?" He grunted.

"Only that. Did you hit anyone else lately, Lupin? I suggest you look for him or her and apologize." Snape raised an eyebrow.

"No, I wasn't."

"Then say thank you to the Weasley twins from me. This does look like one of their pranks."

"I WANT THIS OFF!!!"

"Not so fond of jokes now, are we? What did you tell me today? - Just enjoy the joke ." There was a tinge of impatience in Snape' voice. "Now if you can stop acting like one of our students for a while we have to talk. Your reaction to potion..."

"I WHAT THIS OFF" Screamed Remus ignoring Severus's attempt to talk.

"Did you try to wash it off?"

"I did, it started to sparkle" He grumbled.

Snape started to laugh again. Rage pulled like a drape behind Lupin's eyes. Before he was able to think, he hurled toward Snape and stopped. Tip of the Snape's wand was leaning on his chest.

"You would not..."

"Try me, Lupin. I'm no mood for your fits today. I will be in the lab." Coldly replied Snape and turned around.

Lupin looked at departing Severus, confused.

What is going on?

He didn't feel like himself. Insane amounts of anger clouded his thoughts, his hands clenched into fists. The rage..., the rage was the same as the one wolf would feel. He could almost taste a bloodlust on the tip of his tongue.

Breathing deeply he tried to remember what Severus told him about talking, about the second potion. The panic grabbed him.

I'm turning feral!!!

That evening they did not talk.
