Better Than You

"Better Than You"
Who:  Severus Snape & Remus Lupin
When: 6th Year
Chapter One:  Here


A pass to the Restricted Section was even easier than Severus thought it might be.  Dumbledore gave it to him without even glancing up, saying that he was looking forward to the results.  Severus could only imagine that he meant the Wolfsbane Draught paper he was going to submit, but who knew with the old wizard?  Dumbledore was not a man anyone ever underestimated.

When Remus did not show, Severus noticed and wrote it off.  That brief connection and near friendship had been enough to make him even more bitter about the whole idea of friendship and turned him off on it entirely.  Stupid git.  As if he might have actually found things in common with a creature like that!  Good riddance!

Too bad his breakthrough potion was going to help the mangy sod!  Severus groused as he found the book he was looking for and brought it back to the table.  This was not a potions book at all, but one on the animagi.

He looked down at the handshake. Remus didn't know why he was shaking it, but he was. Even though he was half Muggle, he grew up in the Wizarding World. He was shaking his hand though, because he wanted to touch him again. He wanted to feel something of Severus on him. He didn't know how powerful that want was, but a handshake would satiate him for now.

"You're you, Severus. That is a good enough reason for me." He said with a small smile. Remus had already seen Snape at his worst, and while he could be cruel and somewhat horrible, Remus was willing to take him as is - as long as he respected him.
