[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.]

[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.]
