The beginning
Severus knew following Black's gossip was dumb, he knew he shouldn't have gone he did anyway his curiosity got the better of him, he'd been nervous about the darkness of the shack, the eerie silence scared him, and the hair on his arms stood.
A loud snarl ripped him out of his head, Severus gasped, his wand whipped out infront of him
"Get away from me!" He yelled, the creature then ran forward, a large clawed hand slapped his wand out of his hand.
Severus screamed as the beasts' claws ripped into his side, the beast's jaws clapped down his shoulder, Severus cried out clawing at the creature's eyes, his grip loosened, it screamed dropping the smaller boy.
Severus was free, free for just a moment, he tried to crawl away, a large body crouched his own, Severus let a loud sob, the boy winced as the beats drool slithered down his neck.
What was he to do, he was gonna die, he couldn't move the beast's grip was to strong, Severus skin felt like it was on fire, his head was pounding, his scream silenced, his whimpering filled the room, he could feel his consciousness slip, the pain was to much.
...
James rushed towards the shack, miss McGonagall on his trail. Snape wasn't moving he was unconscious, a pool of blood swelling around him. Remus's wolf had grown tired of Severus throwing him away, he didn't notice the rather large stag charging him.
McGonagall gasped as she seen the sight of the boy in-front of her, he kneeled down beside him, she healed the boys wounds to the best of her ability, and hand covered her mouth as she locked eyes with the bite, oh..oh this was bad.
Mcgonagall got the boy out of there as fast as she could, poppy had prepared bandages and healing potions and a bed for him, the woman almost cried out, poor thing, she thought, poppy could see the McGonagall fears
"What are we meant to do" she stuttered urgently, poppy sighed "there isn't much we can, just keep him comfortable, and heal his cuts, they will scar"
The woman nodded "yes I know" silence filled the woman "you know what this means" poppy looked at the woman across from her "I do" she answered hesitantly placing a hand on the boys, gripping it tightly, it was going to be a fought year for these children.
...
Remus woke with a fright he normally did after a full moon, his bones snapped and cracked as he moved them, his head throbbed and his teeth hurt. Remus tried to smile at poppy as she walked over potions in hand, handed them to him he drank then and gave them back, the pain soon faded.
He could tell something was wrong as soon as 4 people filled the room, Professor McGonagall, Headmaster dumbledore and madam pomfry.
Dumbledore greeted him with a smile "Hello my boy, you look to be feeling better, how are you feeling"
Remus's eyes darted between the elders, "I'm doing fine, what's wrong" pomfry played with her hands, Mcgonagall just stood there
"My boy, I'm afraid there there was an accident last night"
Remus froze, the boy could see the older man's mouth move, he couldn't hear, his eyes stung a limp form in his throat, what did he mean an accident
Albus pulled him out of his thoughts "remus, it's Severus" dread filled the boys chest, this couldn't be happening
"you attacked him last night, you've wounded him very badly"
Remus stuttered "what do you mean, I attacked him. How did he even know!?"
McGonagall frowned, she watched the boy in front of her nightmares come true, hes bitten someone, he'd infected someone, she didn't know what to do she watched the boy break down, incoherent word spewed out of his mouth, she watched as tears filled his eyes, and sobs slipped from him mouth, all she could do was watch.
Poppy sat a calming draught down next to the boy, he urgently gulped it down. He wiped the tears for his face, his mind snapped to snape was he okay? was he alive?
"Is snape fine, is he okay" he cried, he wanted no, needed shape to be okay.
Pomfry stepped forward, "younge Severus is fine, he will scar, but Remus he will turn next month, I need you to understand that".
Remus grimaced away from those words "uhm, where is he if I might ask".
The teachers looked at each other nodding at one another "he is here, though he's not awake just yet".
"What gonna happen to me, am I in trouble" the boy started to panic "I swear I didn't know! I didn't mean to hurt him!".
Albus put his hands around the panicked boys "yes my boy, I know you had nothing to do with it, Mr black told us so".
Remus was confused, what did Padfoot have to do with it, "what do you mean, what does he have to with it?".
the professors look between each other "Remus, Severus was told to go to the shack by Sirius black".
Mcgonagall watched the emotions go threw the boys face. Remus almost growled, why would his best friend do that!, his hands gripped the bed, his mind was blank, Professor McGonagall put her hand on the boy's shoulder.
"Do not do anything irrational now Mr lupin".
Remus scoffed shrugging her hand away "irrational, I have every right! He- I can't believe him, I trusted him with this".
McGonagall interrupted the boy's rant, "Lupin, please" Remus crossed him arms, his face was hot, he felt as he was sweating.
...
Remus refused to talk, to even look at Sirius a scowl permanently on his face when they were in the same room.
"Please moon! I'm sorry I didn't know he'd actually go".
Remus cut him off sitting up in his bed "yes you did! You knew he'd go, he wouldn't have been able to help himself, I just- I can't believe you would do this!".
Remus pushed himself off the bed, "Moony- where ya going" James interrupted.
"To see Snape, I need to, especially before class starts again" Remus turned to Sirius "I can't stand being on the same room as him".
James groaned "oh Remus plea-" The tall boy pushed past him, ignoring his friend shutting the blinds behind him.
Pomfry found Remus roaming the hall, "what are you doing Mr lupin, you should be resting"
"I need to see Snape, I have to".
Poppy gave a sad smile "okay dear, follow me".
Severus was asleep he'd hadn't awoken since the incident, Remus flinched at the sight of the boy, he could see what he done to his shoulder, thick and large scars laced his chest, Remus gulped down a cry, Snape looked helpless a terrified expression still, painted on his face.
Remus reached down to grab Snape's hand he gave it a squeeze before releasing it, he didn't want him waking up just yet Remus knew the pain would be excruciating. Instead, he sat down a chair that had already been placed and waited, he waited for hours Pomfry brought him breakfast which he gladly devoured.
It was just after lunch when Severus woke, the pain hit him immediately his shoulder was on fire and his sides aching, he let out a shaky breath, a loud groan left his mouth hands crowded his shoulders, he let out a scream when fingers pushed onto his scares.
"bloody hell, I'm sorry really I am" a voice cried to him, Severus ripped his eyes squinting at the light.
"Get the bloody hell away from me!" he yelled, crying out at the burn on his side.
"God please, fine, just lay down don't hurt yourself anymore".
Severus let a whine out of his mouth, covering his mouth with his hand "why does it hurt so much?!".
"Oh God- madam pomfry!" he yelled out, remus was panicking was he like this the day after?
Pomfry was panicked, the boy before her was curling in on himself rejecting every touch screaming at them to get away, "my child I can't help if you won't let me touch, here drink the calming draught".
Severus gulped it down, the blue liquid slid down the sides of his face, it took effect immediately his breathing calmed and his pulse slowed. Severus knew he was crying, wet tears leaked down his face, another potion was shoved down his throat the pain in his body dribbled away throbbing replaced it.
"Mr Snape you were I a accident, you were attack-".
"Yes I was attacked by a werewolf, and Sirius black was the one who sent me there! He had something to do with it".
Dumbledore arrived seconds later, the man was calm and seemed to understand the situation, Severus turned to look at him.
"Headmaster it-".
Albus interrupted "yes my boy, Sirius black played a prank on you, he sent you to be caught be Remus lupin".
Severus scowled he turned to look at the boy beside him, "get away from me, get away from me!, I Hate you you feral beast".
Remus flinched away "hey no you don't get to say that, your one of the feral beast now"
Snape froze.
Headmaster interrupted the boy "Hey, Mr lupin leave this hall- now!".
Remus scoffed he left kicking the bed like a child having a tantrum.
Severus felt his eyes and nose start to burn he was gonna cry again, a ball formed in his throat, he knew the teachers were pitying him.
"Is what's he saying true, am I- am I a werewolf".
Albus looked hesitant "oh my boy, I'm so sorry I have already informed your mother".
Severus stared forward he couldn't look at his professors "can I be alone please, I would like to be alone".
Albus sighed but agreed he ushered poppy away, "Severus, my boy please remember I'm here if you need me".
"Please leave me, I wanna be alone" Albus nodded leaving the boy to his thoughts.
...
Remus returned to the boy hours later, Severus wasn't happy to see him, yelling curses that Remus wouldn't dare repeat.
"Snape would you please!-".
"No you don't ha-!"
"No, bollocks Snape shut up, I'm so unbelievably sorry, no one deserves to be this, this monster"
Severus was stunned by the wolf's outburst, silence filled the room "well, how's you wounds?".
Severus groaned "dreadful, how do you think".
"I'd like for you to show me them please, I mean if you're comfortable"
Severus moved to lean into the taller boy's face with such anger "I'm not bloody showing the disgusting scars you created, I want to be alone, why are you even here, go away!"
"Fuck me, Snape I'm not leaving, I know more than anyone how being alone at a time like this feels, I mean it. I'm just trying to help"
Remus's heavy breaths drifted thew the room, he was desperate "Please, Severus let me help, let me see what I've done".
Severus squeezed the blanket till his knuckles were white, his jaw sore from clenching, he let a wobbly sigh escape his lips. Letting go of of the blanket it slid down his body.
Remus gasped, he'd done this he'd ruined this boy's body, his life, the thick and red scars traced from his chest up to his neck, down his back.
Severus sat there, he was uncomfortable with Remus, his eyes roamed his naked skin, it almost made him shiver, Remus looked at him with such sorrow, like a puppy in rain, it was disgusting.
"bollocks, that's enough I'm not a zoo animal" Severus wrapped himself back under covers.
"Sorry, I really am" Remus almost cried to the other boy "yea, whatever".
"So, are you gonna let me help you?" Remus asked
Severus sighed crossing his arms over his chest, he thought for a moment, Remus pleading eyes filtered threw his head, what other choice does he have the only stuff he knows about werewolves are what he learned in book, class, he needs this.
"Fine" Remus nodded a small smile on his face "but, I need this to be my way, you cannot peep a word about this to anyone, I bloody mean it Lupin".
"You can't tell your little gang and you can't tell lily".
"Believe me Snape, I'm never trusting them with a secret ever again".
Severus frowned "good, should've never told them in the first place".
"Oh shut up snape, they were my- are they are my friends".
Snape scoffed "oh blah blah blah".
Remus almost smiled at the other boys teasing "Oh, come off it Snape".
Severus rolled his eyes mumbling some words under his breath- "Huh what did ya say".
"I said you are agitating me, id like you to leave, at least until we are forced back together by the sad reality of what your- what do you call them, oh, friends did”.
Remus frowned “Oh it's not entirely his fault” Severus crossed his arms “No, Snape listen you followed his instructions, you did what he said. And yes he shouldn't have done that- I will deal with it but- god are you even listening to me”.
“No, no I'm not you are sprouting nonsense”.
Remus groaned in annoyance “I need to leave, we are just annoying each other”.
“Good, goodbye” Severus added watching the boy leave, Letting out a sigh Severus' hand sprung to his shoulder, it had been throbbing all threw the conversation, he was sure Madam Pomfry would be with him soon, he'd tell her then.
He didn't tell her, he should have she seemed stressed and jittery, and sweat was dripping from her brow, they only exchanged a few words and she brought him some lunch, he should've told her he was just kicking himself now.
Remus left annoyed, he became angry a few minutes later when he came face-to-face with the person that caused this. The Gryffindor common room was all but empty for a few first years, his “friends” met him there.
