By the time they’d hashed out a tentative plan, it was morning and time for breakfast. Severus considered skipping it, until Regulus said, “Do you really want my brother to think he scared you off?”
Determined, Severus got dressed and went to the Great Hall. He moved slowly and steadily, however, as tired as he was.
Lupin was missing, but it was rather satisfying to see Black’s expression when he calmly settled into his customary seat in Slytherin. Regulus, smirking, said, “Looks like you got his attention. Now we’ll see what he does.”
Severus’ breakfast was especially delicious that day.

Lupin reappeared at lunch. Severus hadn’t been sure what to do about him. Regulus’ advice, while sensible, galled. He’d lied to Severus, after all. But perhaps with good reason. It is a big secret.
Moving slowly and steadily, Severus approached him in the library. Looking up from his book, Lupin smiled. “Hello.”
Severus, eyes narrowed, sat. “You don’t remember, do you?”
Lupin’s smile faded. “Remember?”
Severus sat back in his chair. “I saw you last night.” He hummed. “By the light of the full moon.”
Lupin’s eyes widened. Grabbing his books, he stood. “Not here,” he said. “Come with me.”
~
They picked a secluded spot by the lake. “Tell me what happened,” said Lupin.
Slowly and steadily, Severus relayed everything. When he’d finished, Lupin was enraged. “That idiot! I could’ve killed you!”
“You could’ve.” Severus twirled grass between his fingers. “But you didn’t.”
Lupin turned towards him. “What now?”
Leaning back against a tree, Severus closed his eyes. “I want to help. There’s a man named Belby who’s come up with a potion-- Anyway, if you’re game, I could try to--Oof!” And all thoughts of potions and brewing left Severus’ mind as Lupin kissed the breath out of him.
