The Experiment

Severus swept into the examination room barely glancing at the man waiting. “Punctual this month I see.”
Bill Weasley coughed. “After you berated me last time? Of course.”
Severus hummed. “Some techniques are quite effective. Any new symptoms?”
Upon hearing Bill’s complaints and examining him, Severus reached into his robes, withdrawing a phial. “Two drops of this in addition to what I gave you last month.”
Nodding, Bill took the phial. “Next month?”
“Indeed.”
Bill paused at the door. “Are you taking other patients like me?”
“Werewolf victims?”
“Yes. Others need your help.”
Severus shrugged. “Have them make appointments.”
“Great.”

“It worked!” Lavender Brown was clutching Severus’ arm. “I can’t thank you enough!”
Severus sighed. “It’s my job, Ms Brown.”
Lavender beamed. “It’s a miracle! My face--”
Severus reclaimed his arm. “I’m pleased the treatments have been successful. Now, continue your current dose for another month then decrease to one drop daily--”
After finally managing to get her out of his clinic, Severus sighed. If I’d known Bill Weasley’s ‘friends’ would be so annoying, I’d have thought twice before agreeing to see them.
“Last patient’s in room two,” announced his receptionist, Ms Burke.
Nodding, Severus entered room two, and froze.

“Lupin.”
Remus Lupin, looking terrible, smiled. “Severus.”
Severus’ eyes narrowed. “What are you doing here?”
Lupin shrugged. “Bill Weasley’s put your name out there as someone who’s treating werewolf victims--”
“You’re hardly a victim,” Severus snapped, crossing his arms.
“No?” Slowly, Lupin stood. “I was attacked when I was a toddler, held down and bitten, chewed on by Fenrir Greyback, and then only released to torment my parents.”
Severus turned away. “My potions don’t work on fully-fledged werewolves, just their victims who have not been turned.”
“Have you ever tried them on a werewolf?”
“No.”
“Then I’ll be your experiment.”
