"You liar, Snivellus!" the painting shouted. "Moony would never!"

"I've lived in your house for three years, Black," Snape gloated. "Lupin says he's happier than he's ever been. He still loves to have that scar on his lip nibbled. He makes those moaning noises if..."

"Shut up! I don't believe you!"

Sixteen-year-old Sirius, immortalized in this unfinished formal portrait, sounded just like Severus remembered. "Why do you think you're in a basement closet?" he demanded. "Remus put you here because I asked nicely."

"You must have hexed him!"

The boy looked so forlorn that Snape almost felt sorry for him.

Challenge: #6, from bad to worse.


He shouldn't have kissed Lupin at the party. But they'd both been drunk, and even Lupin didn't blame him.

Then he shouldn't have let Lupin kiss him in the library when they both were sober. But, after all, it was only a kiss.

He certainly should not have gone to Lupin's room, where kissing led to hands in inappropriate places and very messy clothes. But afterward they both pretended it was just kissing.

And he really shouldn't have let Lupin kiss him on his bed, where things proceeded quite inevitably. But it wasn't as if he could stop the wolf.

I tried to write a Valentine drabble for this challenge, and it ran away with me -- instead it's a dozen drabbles, 1200 words, so I left it in my journal instead of here: Valentine. I also remembered that I had, in fact, written a Snupin Valentine drabble more than a year ago, so I may as well repost it:

Challenge: Valentine's Day. Originally written for the wizarding photos challenge at hp100.


When he opens the Valentine, Remus knows that Severus has not meant to be cruel but adoring in the awkward manner of a lovestruck loner. He also suspects that Severus did not intend for Remus to identify him as the sender, for Severus does not know of Remus' preternaturally strong sense of smell.

Nor could Severus have guessed at the pain Remus would feel from the image on the card, a magically created photo of himself waving under a romantic moon, with "Dreaming Of You" printed across the bottom. Remus hopes that the quiet boy never witnesses the true nightmare.

Challenge: #1, secrets.


After class, Potter approaches, looking nervous.

"It's about Sirius. And Lupin. Were they...?" An awkward clasping gesture. "They were, weren't they."

So the brat's finally figured out his godfather was a poof. Snape doesn't pretend not to understand. "Why ask me? Obviously you've already guessed."

"I was wondering whether you were, um, jealous." Snape stares. "I know you hated Sirius. And Lupin seems so miserable now, it scares me, and I thought..."

"Stay out of my business, Potter," hisses Snape. It isn't possible that the boy has read such thoughts, safe in the Pensieve.

But is it possible he's right?
