[The behavior displayed by the group is stunning. It's like nothing Remus would have expected from anyone that would admire someone like Severus Snape. Pleading rarely worked on anyone and definitely not this man.]

[But it's his response that gives away the truth. If he'd been more dismissive, Remus might have thought the girl was lying or believing some inane theory, but Severus's response is pure venom.]

A doe... but that was - is Lily-

[The reality of it is like cold water being thrown in his face. He knew exactly why that had been Lily's Patronus, why his own had changed, and why countless others in papers and studies over centuries had seen their own Patronuses change.]

[Snape earns one carefully guarded look of understanding before Remus lets the subject drop. There's no need to speak of it - especially in so public a place - and it's clear that anything further would get him more than just an angry snarl.]

I think that's enough magic for today, don't you?

[Little girls romanticize everything. And the under twenty set is the worst of the lot. EVERYTHING can be glossed over in the name of romance. After all, some people find Edward Cullen ripping the engine of his girlfriend's car out so she cant' see a rival 'romantic' or 'hot'. They don't grasp certain...realities in the depth of their romantic fantasy.]

[Somehow, they might've thought he'd be touched. Maybe understand that they think he was awesome, the better man. All of those thoughts evaporated, however, in a heartbeat with the baring of Snape's crooked teeth. James/Lily just got a few new supporters, but that doesn't matter to Snape.]

[What matters is public humiliation and the rage that it creates. He growls like a wounded animal, before he catches Remus's look -- and that's almost worst then stroppy little girls romanticizing his pathetic affairs of the hearts. Merlin, that makes it a thousand times worse.]


Quite.

[natureinblood]

[For Remus, it puts a great many things in the past that he had suspected but never quite seen or examined beyond what was being presented at the surface into focus. If nothing else, it made the other wizard a little bit more human, something Remus was certain Severus would hate to hear. Especially from him.]

[Which means it is time for a distraction. Alcohol?]

Care for a drink? I'm certain there a bar somewhere in this place worth a visit.

[Snape's eyes cut to Remus, just at the corners -- as if he refuses to turn his head before he's got the fullness of his temper wrangled to a manageable level.]

[He bites his tongue on his first reaction, which is to just -- let go of all of that vitriol. Remus would soak it up like a fairly obedient sponge, because -- well, he's Remus bloody Lupin.]

[But he is, before anything else, a Slytherin... and Remus, no matter what he has done to the man, no matter how petty and cruel and vile he has turned on the man... has turned around and given him the benefit of the doubt. Not because of Snape himself, but because of Dumbledore's trust.]

[It makes him a great patsy. It also means he's the only Marauder he could conceivably make an ally before the evening, and the one he has the easiest time dealing with. Besides, the man didn't actually do anything but stand there and be reasonably good at Defense Against The Dark Arts. He should, perhaps, hex the next stupid teenage slattern that comes up getting into his miserable wreck of his lovelife and see if she thinks he's a tortured Byronic hero then.]

[His eyes are set forward now, and he nods once, curt and not friendly, but accepting.]

There is; follow me.

[Damned if he'll follow the wolf anywhere, though.]

[natureinblood]

[Remus tries not to look too surprised when Severus actually accepts his offer, though being told to follow him does get an almost irritated look out of him. He didn't particularly like being spoken to that way and it hits a nerve a good deal harder than he'd expected.]

[Better shouldering his bag, he hold up a hand.]

Just a moment.

[He takes his time adjusting the contents of his bag, almost tempted to make the inside larger before he finds a way to make everything fit.]

All right. I think it's on the first floor.

[Instead of following, the two of them just end up walking side by side. It earns them a few strange looks, but after Snape's outburst, not many people seem eager to approach. Remus is almost grateful.]
