His head was pounding. Classes were a disaster.

A second-year Hufflepuffs smuggled food that fell into a cauldron causing a volatile reaction. The sixth-year Slytherin tried to brew Amortentia in secrecy while working on potion he gave them as a task, resulting in absolute disaster and puff of smoke that caused unlikely couplings among Advanced Potions students.

The whole class was sent to the Infirmary, and he was happy that he did not do anything inappropriate considering that he inhaled fumes as well.

He smirked, at least one good thing happened today. He entered his quarters, longing for a long soak and maybe a game of chess or a good book. All his hopes dispersed when he nearly stumbled on Remus, looking grim. He sighed.

Today I really cannot catch a break, thought when Remus shoved him to the nearest bookshelf blocking his way.

"Remus, I am in no mood today."

Remus gave a deep intake of breath and he started to worry.

"You. Lied. To. Me." Growled Remus, sniffing the air.

Snape looked at him, he felt tired. With a hint of panic, he realized that his clothes are probably soaked in fumes. Sliding a wand in his hand, he checked the link, even if he could not read thoughts, the link did provide him with an echo of emotions. He relaxed a bit, sliding back his wand, Remus was just angry - he could handle angry.

"You repeat yourself, Remus. Found more phials in my workroom?"

"I found part of your wall missing. I found this letter on your desk." Remus angrily stepped away and waved a parchment in the air, then sniffed air again.

Snape hastily stepped away from Remus putting as much space between them as possible without raising a suspicion. He stared at Lupin with an angry glare.

"Who gave you permission to rummage through my personal correspondence?" Snape felt murderous, he was truly annoyed. In all honesty, annoyed at himself for forgetting to put wards on his table than at Remus "You violated my trust and went through my personal things. Or is this your idea of 'friendship' you try to inflict on me. You are angry at me!? You flea riddled filthy mutt."

Forgetting why he backed away, with each word, he made a step closer towards, now backing Remus, wand in hand. Remus was retreating still wearing stubborn look on his face.

"You lied again, you told me that you don't have friends."

"I told you I do not need friends, you mutt." hissed Severus

"But you have friends, at least one!" shouted Remus.

"You think Macnair is my friend?" He suddenly started to laugh.

This day is just too long .

He summoned Firewhiskey and a glass, poured a half of the glass and sit in the armchair.

If I stay standing I will curse this mutt to oblivion.

"You told me that 'decorations' were yours!" protested Remus

"I did no such thing."

"Not in so many words, but..."

"As usually Remus, you assumed. That is what you do - you assume and you jump to conclusions." He retorted coldly.
