--[ Chapter Three: Cape of Storms ]--

~

So where do I sail?

A ship losing control

My cries swallowed, lost in the raging sea

So where has the love gone?

Will I ever reach it?

The cape of storms echoes the pain I feel inside.

Severus cursed himself once more as he walked though the rows of restricted books, safely tucked away in James Potter's stolen invisibility cloak. The books were old and dusty, making him sneeze and he didn't even want to think about how tired he was.

All he wanted was to be in his room, in his bed, dreaming of soft pillows, pretty things, and potion books. However due to the fact that he was an idiotic moron, he was now running around the Library at an unreasonable hour looking at books he probably wasn't supposed to be looking at. He could probably get expelled too, anyone else found looking in the Restricted Section late at night would probably just get a little slap on the hand. He on the other hand would get thrown out of Hogwarts and then be forced to live in a tiny house with no food or clean water, being no better then a house elf.

Because knowing his luck everyone would probably think he was looking at the Dark Arts books and thinking of becoming the next dark lord.

Severus let out a tiny growl as his eyes shifted over the books.

He still couldn't believe how he had gotten into the situation in the first place.

[Flashback]:.The Day Before .:

"Ha! Look at the greasy git now! Looks like his appearance only gets worse and worse with each passing day! In a months time we will probably to blind from just looking at 'im!" Severus's eye twitched while he glowered at the 6th year Hufflepuff before storming back up to the Slytherin dorms. His life would never be easy, and he was beginning to except it. He had no friends, save one who was in the rival house, and he was probably the only boy in history to be hated by his own house.

In a nut shell, his life sucked.

One day I'll show them...Severus though feverishly and he kept the tears at bay while walking up the stairs to the Slytherin painting. I'll prove to them that I belong in the Slytherin house. And then they will have no reason to doubt me...and--

However his thoughts were stopped when suddenly before he could tell the painting his password, he was jerk roughly off to the right by an invisible force. He was then proceeded to be dragged behind a nearby pillar before he could even cry out.

Once the motion had stopped and he could no longer feel the jerky force on his sleeve, he was quick to open his mouth. Eyes slanting dangerously.

"Who the Fuck are you!" However Severus didn't even wait for the person to respond, before he went right on talking, shaking his head slightly. "Nevermind..I know who you are, only Potter has a invisibility cloak in this school." He finished while glaring at the invisible figure.

"Shut up Severus! I'm trying to be inconspicuous here!" Remus whispered as he took off the hood of the cloak, making his head visible.

Severus raised a questionable eyebrow at him. Not bothering to ask the question that was on his mind, since he knew that if he stayed quiet long enough it would get answered.

Remus smiled slightly. "I grabbed the cloak from James' trunk when he wasn't looking. He wont miss it tonight, he's planning on staying his whole night in the common room with Lily."

"Oh." Severus blinked and then forced a sneer on his face, he didn't want his only friend to think of him as going soft. Remus had once told him that he liked him for his 'honest' nature. And he intended to keep it that way. "So you felt it was needed to grasp me and force me to talk to you because...?"

"Severus...I have this..problem...it involves something...and I need you to get a book. Dont ask me WHY you need to get it...just get it ok?"

"Really now? Why cant you get it yourself? Or are you to good to go into the Restricted Section so you have your little Slytherin friend do it?" He replied with a sneer. He was not having a good day and he didn't need this to be piled onto his hell-ish life.

He was not one to do favors.

Remus frowned while studying his friend, "Severus...are you ok? You sound even worse then usual today...Did something happen?"

Severus eyes flared, Remus knew he never had a good day, the little prat. Severus pulled his gaze to look directly into Remus's eyes before letting out a slight coughing sound. "Oh no I'm fine. I just feel like an angel who was sitting on cloud nine, playing my harp without a care in the world when all of a sudden my wings are ripped off sending me plummeting down to hell and the sufferous abyss of pure misery."

Silence followed for a brief second before Remus let out a giggle that made Severus step away, a confused expression making its way onto his face.

Since when did Remus giggle?

However Remus appeared to not even notice his friend discomfort. He gave Severus a bright smile before he continued to talk about the book he needed.

In the back of his mind Severus couldn't help but wonder if Remus had finally gotten his 'water into rum' spell to work.

[/Flashback] .: Current time :.

And so he had been given the mission of finding a book on Werewolves. Severus was assuming that Remus thought someone a Werewolf and was looking up the signs to see what they were. Which was actually very stupid, Dumbledore would never allow a Werewolf in the school. However Severus didn't want to make his friend mad at him so he had reluctantly agreed and was then handed the stolen cloak in order to do his work.

It was pure hell, and frankly, he wondered why he was going to this much trouble for just one person.

He grimaced as he let his fingers trail along the books edges. It probably didn't help that he had gotten a small crush on Remus over the passing years.

Severus sighed as he pulled out a worn book from the shelve. Seeing that it read 'Werewolves: Living and Breathing in Today's World' he quickly pocketed it, turn round, and promptly began to leave the library in a haste.

Remus would be happy that he got this for him. Maybe even so happy that he might give Severus a small kiss.

--[ & ]--

[Next Day].: 5th year DADA class :.

Remus gripped his quill harder as he attempted to NOT look over at Sirius who was sitting right next to him, sucking on the tip of his brightly colored sugar quill.

Remus started to quickly open and close his eyes trying in vain to get the picture that was now forever embedded in his mind out. The constant sucking motion he could see Sirius doing out of the corner of his eyes was driving him mad! How was he ever going to make it out of DADA alive? He was sure that Sirius didn't mean to do it, it probably came naturally to him. As natural as breathing probably. The chances were high that he had no idea that everything he did made Remus want to scream like a school girl. Natural. It was probably all natural.

However just because it came naturally to him didn't mean it made Remus any less hard.

By now, which was what he was calling 'I've gone to Hell and will never come back' day, he was about to die. The feelings of wanting to jump Sirius every time he saw him grew by the second, and it was getting so bad that he was sure that within a week or two he would break and end up slamming Sirius up against a wall so he could have his way with him.

It was a troublesome thought. He had never wanted to force Sirius into anything before. EVER. And usually just thinking about forcing Sirius would have him lose his hard on in a second flat. However thinking about how he could slam Sirius into the wall, helpless to his advances to an incredible turn on, and oh gods he could run his tongue down the side of Sirius's neck and then suck and bite on his ear until he had him totally unraveled and by the end he would probably be making Sirius feel so good the boy would start to beg him to do more and-- However before his thought process could be completed, Remus was sadly interrupted out of his daydream by a loud, "Mr. Lupin!"

Remus eyes snapped open, and he quickly wiped away the drool that mostly came around when ever thoughts of Sirius were in his head. "Wha..?" Was all he got out before he spared a brief look up at the professors disapproving eyes.

It was the first time he had ever seen that look directed at him.

He let out a tiny whimper. Thoughts racing though his head. Most were along the lines of 'Oh gods ignoring my lessons!' but there were a few 'What did Sirius do with his quill...?' apparently Sirius had gotten rid of his sugar quill while Remus was in his daydreaming mode.

But none of these thoughts really mattered at the moment seeing as a pissed of Professor was currently looking down at Remus's panic stricken form.

"Yes, Mr. Lupin. What per say did you have your mind on that you couldn't pay attention to my class?" He had asked the question with pure disappointment on his face. After all, Remus was one of his best students and it was very unlike him to be looking off into space in his class.

"Eh...I was.." Remus started to say, however before he could get out the sentence the Professor had already turned around and issued him a detention.

Remus hung his head and could feel the full body blush claiming him.

Taking a deep breath Remus looked up at the head of the class, and managed not to even spare Sirius a glance. However just because he wasn't looking at Sirius didn't mean his thoughts were totally on the class.

Just as he had almost convinced himself to start listening to the lecture and stop thinking about Sirius two things happened.

First off, a hand landed itself on his thigh. A nice, warm, firm hand. Very male, and very...hard.

Second, came the realization that the hand on this thigh was connected to a person and that person was Sirius. Of course with this knowledge Remus almost had an instant orgasm and had to bite his bottom lip to keep a moan in.

"Moony," Sirius whispered out of the side of his mouth, trying to make it so that it looked like he was paying attention to the class. "Whats up with you mate?! You've always paid attention in this class before! Its your favorite....You've been acting really weird lately..." However Remus couldn't even bring himself to answer and he sucked in another moan that threatened to escape. The best he could bring himself to do was a jerky nod and a quiet whimper.

Sirius's eyes widened and he leaned in close to Remus, taking his eyes off the Professor in order to look his friend in the eyes.

"Remmy, mate, what's wrong do you need someth-"

However lady luck was never on their side, and the Professor happened to look over in their direction.

His eyes went cold as he looked at his two most promising students talking quietly to each other, completely ignoring his class.

"Mr. Black! Mr. Lupin! Since you two both seem so interested in each other why dont you just leave this class and come her for detention later tonight? That would mean double detention for you Lupin!"

Remus was horrified. He had just gotten double detention in his best and favorite class. His life was officially going to hell.

"Go back to your dorms, I'll see you both here at 8:00 tonight."

"But Professor!" Sirius spoke up in desperation. He couldn't have detention tonight! He had Quidditch practice and the gods knew he needed it. "Aren't you being a little harsh? I mean.."

"Leave Black, you too Lupin. I refuse to teach the two of you today in this class! I dont like disruptions, and over the passed few days thats all you two seem good for. I've ignored it so far, but I wont any longer! Tonight. At 8:00." The Professor then started back up on his lecture, making sure not to let his gaze fall upon Remus or Sirius.

Sirius watched as his friend got up, almost in a trans like state and walk out of the class room. Giving the room a quick look over Sirius quickly got his books and went rushing out of the class after his friend.

*

"Remus! Wait up you bloody git!" Sirius yelled at his went after his friend who was walking towards the Great Hall.

To Sirius's surprise, Remus actually listened to him and instantly stopped walking. However he then promptly sat down in the middle of the hallway. Sirius forced a smile on his face as he slowed down and approached his friend.

"Sirius...I got double detention." Remus said, looking blankly ahead.

Sirius nodded. "I know."

"I got it in my best class Sirius."

"I know....Remmy..Are you ok Remmy? I know you liked the class a lot..I did to ya know! At least we will have detention together!" Sirius said trying to lighten the mood.

Remus's eye twitched. "I've been fucked. Two times over. With a DADA book."

Sirius blinked and let his head slightly tip over to one side. Remus never cursed, he was always good natured and sweet tempered. Hearing him say that he had been fucked two times over was only slightly unnerving.

"Ehm...Was it good?"

"Painful. Highly painful."

Ouch.

"Listen, Remus." Sirius started hoping to get his friend to open it. "What's been bugging you lately? I mean...no offense or anything of course, but you've been acting like you've been hit by a bludger for DAYS. Its not normal for our little Moony! Not to mention that your mood swings are starting to get worse then Lily's..."

Remus looked up from his position on the floor and into Sirius's confused eyes. He needed to tell him. He couldn't deal with the guilt that was starting to cling to him, the constant thoughts. Even if he wasn't really sure what was going on, he could still tell Sirius of his feelings and hope that he wouldn't get laughed at too much. Maybe Sirius would even still be his friend afterwards. Remus squeezed his eyes shut. "Sirius...listen...I.."

"Lupin!"

Remus's stopped talking and his head turned around instantly to the direction of where he had heard his named called. While Sirius growled out a name that sounded a lot like 'Snape'. He felt a slight pang of loss having to look away from Sirius's face, and soulful blue eyes, however he quickly surpressed the thought for a later period in time. If Snape got what he wanted then he could put off thoughts of Sirius for a bit.

He could always tell him about his feelings later, when he had things all figured out.

TBC.
