"I'm sure he's fine. Stop pacing."

Severus whirled on his heel. "Your own cub, and you sit there doing crossword puzzles."

"Fussing won't help. We have to be calm - "

"Mr. Snape? Mr. Lupin?" A young mediwizard emerged from the examining room, John trotting at his heels. "He's fine - "

"Look!" Johnny held out a vial. "He pulled that out of my nose!"

Remus set down the newspaper and embraced his son. "I see. John, you mustn't shove beans - "

"Remus?" Severus picked up the Prophet. "You did the puzzle completely wrong."

"What?"

"Papa, what's a grynzibble?"

Title: Thirsty
Challenge: Moony

Moony trotted in through the doggie dog. The Mate had left food in a bowl by the pantry. Moony ate his fill, then chewed a few of the small green pieces of kibble the Mate had also left and headed upstairs.

The Mate was upstairs cleaning himself in the Long Tub. Moony yipped in greeting, then plunged his head into the White Bowl and started to drink the cold, cold water.

The Mate yelled. Moony turned and began lapping up the hot water in the Long Tub. The Mate scrambled out, still yelling. Moony whined.

What had he done wrong?

Title: A Cove Near Padstow

"Remind me again what we're doing here." Severus huddled in his cloak. He could just hear the faint ding-ding of a buoy in the harbor.

"Waiting for smugglers," said Remus. "Bezoars, toadstones, grimoires - "

"Why bloody Cornwall instead of London?" Severus cursed at a particularly vicious gust. "They'd be lost in the crowd."

"Tradition, I suppose." Remus lit a cigarette, drew two long puffs, and handed it over. "Fag?"

Severus accepted the smoke with a sigh. "Thanks. I - "

A light flashed on the harbor. Severus tossed the cigarette aside as Remus unholstered his wand.

It was time.

Title: Flipping for Charity
Challenge: Pancake Day
Word Count: 100
Note: this is for chazpure, who made me a brain icon. She requested Snape/Lupin and howling in a drabble, and though I'm sure this isn't what she had in mind, I hope it gives her a giggle.


Moony howled in triumph as Severus crossed the finish line. The International Werewolf Rights Federation Pancake Race had been a stunning success, even if it wasn't Shrove Tuesday. Two dozen mates had participated in front of several hundred spectators. Severus had come in first in the Men's Division, and Moony couldn't have been prouder.

Severus had given the pancake one last flip when Moony leapt up and snatched the treat in mid-air. The photo made the front page of the Prophet the next day, and the IFWR received more donations that week than it had in the previous six months.

Title: In the Mood
Challenge: dancing

Note: this is a sequel to Disco (Still) Sucks!


"Who's the lead? It's not Stubby Boardman," said Remus.

"Hilaire de Funque." Severus rolled his eyes as he attempted to dance in five inch platform wedgies with live plimpies in the heels. "Originally Ukrainian, or so I've heard."

"Ah. No wonder he sings so well in English." Remus set down his punch as the tromba marinist began the intro to "Raja O'Sullivan." "Want to dance?"

'To that?"

"I have some Glenn Miller in my room." Remus' voice dropped to a seductive rasp. "Want to get in the mood?"

"Up here in de skyyyyy - "

"I thought you'd never ask!"

Title: Aftermath of a Lesson
Challenge: Oops
Word Count: 100


"You said you'd changed, that you were sorry." Severus pointed at the rattling armoire. "Liar."

"What? You - " Remus knotted his brows. "Oh. Neville's boggart. I didn't think - "

"That word wouldn't get out about Professor Snape in a dress? Augusta Longbottom's dress?" Severus was trembling. "You're not that stupid! You knew it would be all over the school in five minutes!"

"It's not as if you wore a dress - "

"As if the little cretins know the difference!" Severus was out the door before he could say a word.

Remus slumped into a chair. "Bloody hell."

"Severus. What is going on?"

Severus frowned at the sediment in the bottom of the test tube and set it carefully on its rack. "I'm sure I don't know what you mean."

"Don't play naïve." Remus gestured at the vials of anti-nausea potion. "If I didn't know better I'd say you were acting as if you were pregnant. Running to the bathroom, brewing those potions, checking with Poppy every few hours - " He went white. "Severus? You aren't - "

"Of course not." Severus rubbed his forehead. "It's for a friend. Nothing more."

Remus frowned. "If you say so."
