His back cracked as he straightened them. He and Remus were crunched over the table covered with books and scrolls since dinner. Their paper, as idiotic as it washes had to be done. Remus was frowning, reading one of the books lent to them by Professor Flitwick. Suddenly, the sound of bells chimed through the corridors and filled the room.

With a silent look, they run to the hallway, where almost entire professor's body gathered. Students poured from all the sides too. Between echoing bells and the babble, the noise was almost stunning. They pushed through the mass of students. Dumbledore's voice, enhanced by spell boomed.

"Prefects lead all students to their dorms and stay there. Your Heads of the house will inform you when students can leave their houses again. No students in the hallways. Professors follow me."

The crowd exploded in motion. Students started to dissipate, hoarded and nudged by their house Prefect. He and Lupin moved with professors, waiting for Dumbledore to join them. Old wizard approached and cast a glance at them.

"Professors break into pairs and search the hallways. You two, follow me." He turned to them.

They followed him back to the dungeons, Albus looked angry. When they entered Snape's quarters, he turned to them.

"I believe I told you two if something is going on you are about to stay in here."

"What is going on Albus?" Cut him off Snape, he did not have the patience for the lectures. Dumbledore looked at him and sighed.

"Sirius Black is on the school grounds" Before either of them managed to react Remus darted out of the room.

He moved to follow but Albus placed a hand on his shoulder and mumbled something. Suddenly, sharp pain in his stomach forced him to bend, nearly knocking him to the ground.

"Bloody hell Albus." Groaned Severus angrily. "Did you have to make me an anchor?"

"I believe he is at the end of the hallway." Smiled Albus "I..."

"No!" He straightened "I will bring him. You go, find him, Albus, find him and save me a seat for the Kiss"

With the long strides, fighting the waves of pain ripping from his stomach through the whole body he hurried down the hallway. Remus was near the staircase, curled in a ball, wailing in pain. None too gently, he grabbed Remus by his collar and dragged him on the feet.

"You are coming back, and staying in a room with me." He growled through clenched teeth "I'm sick of the humiliation, sick of the pain and most certainly sick of you." Severus hissed tugging pale Remus back to his quarters. Albus was nowhere to be seen. He slammed Remus in the chair "Just try to go again, and it will be the last thing you will do."

"So what, are we just going to sit here?"

"Obviously."

"Severus I have to..."

"Have to what?" He snapped at Lupin "Save him?"

"Save?" Remus jumped on his feet "He killed my best friends! I lost all in one night! Do you honestly believe I want to save him?"

"I. Do not. Trust. You." Hissed Severus.

The remnants of pain still ripped through his body. He would sell what's left of his soul to be able and find Black himself and deliver him to Dementors personally. Instead, he sat confined to his quarters with Remus.
