"You could be nicer to him Severus" Albus scorned him the moment Remus disappeared in the fireplace.

"I do not feel particularly inclined to that anymore, Albus."

"He grew on you, didn't he?" Chuckled old wizard

"Yes," He drawled. "Like an ulcer. My part is done. You named him 'my biggest research' and you were right - he was. I finished my research and I can let my test pets run free." Turning his gaze to Albus he grinned. "Will you be kind to tell me what exactly did I do last night while I was locked in a cage with a werewolf?"

"You were nearly bitten. Escaped that predicament and after the danger was gone rushed me out your quarters, quite rudely I might add."

"I will call it on the shock of being nearly bitten. If I were to myself, there would be no doubt, whether I was rude or not. My apologies, Albus. And my double, what did he do? Alternatively, I could find out tomorrow morning in the gathering at the local waterhole."

"Oh, that!" Chuckled Albus

"Yes, that." He sat in one armchair offering other to Albus, tray with tea appeared on the table. "And?"

"You entered in your common room around 22:30."

"Common room was full, of course." He fought to hide the grin.

"Naturally, and announced that there is a loose werewolf in school hallways and since you can't find DADA professor you are going to hunt it down by yourself. You also told them that you don't want to see them in hallways and that you don't want to worry about them being bitten." Calmly explained Albus.

"And they believe that?" He gasped, that didn't sound even one bit like him.

"Of course they didn't. Students are not stupid, Severus."

"I beg to differ, do continue."

"They called Bloody Baron and asked him if there is really a werewolf in school."

"And Bloody Baron told them the truth."

"Naturally. They send me a note informing me that they had an intruder in the Slytherin common room and asked if you are all right. They worried that something happened to their Head of House. By the time I managed to get to Slytherin common room, plenty students put 2 and 2 together - that their DADA teacher is in fact werewolf in question. They asked me to look for you and be sure he didn't hurt you in any way, knowing that you worked closely with him in past months. Draco floo-called his father to notify Auror office about Black breaching Slytherin common room."

"They organized a rescue mission and a hunting party, and stayed in a dorm at the same time." He could not hide the pride from his voice. "It is nice to know they learned how to play to their strengths."

"I expect that letters will start to arrive no later than this afternoon."

"Why the pretences then? Lupin will have to vacant school grounds much sooner."

"I'm afraid so. I will explain to him tonight and I urge you to be ready for dismantling the link."

"Destroying something was always easier than building it, no preparations are necessary."
