Chapter One: Snape and Kisses

First Installment: Harry Potter

KagomexRemus Lupin

If there was one thing Kagome Higurashi detested more than muggle math it was seeing students bullying other students.

"Draco Malfroy!"

The Slytherin and his lackeys were once more picking on an unfortunate Gryffindor, books were scattered around the trembling boy, who by the looks of seemed to perhaps be a first year.

Something even more despicable.

"If you keep bullying other students I will have to appoint you detention on Fridays writing a thousand-word essay on the positive aspects on the students in Gryffindors."

Students coming out of their dorms hearing the new Creatures of the World Professor, snickered at the already pale boy turn a pasty white, before turning a ruddy red at being laughed at.

Scoffing he turned away without another word and continued to walk to his class and ignoring the jibbing.

Huffing, Kagome turned to the small first year and helped him pick up all the books that lay scattered around him, the students not seeing anything worthy of gossip continued on their way as well.

"Oh dear," she sighed. "Are you alright?"

"Y-yes," the small boy stuttered. "Thank you Professor."

"Your welcome," she smiled brightly. "Now off you go. Get to class before the prefectures catch you."

Holding his books close he gave a quick nod and ran/tripped his way to class.

"I really don't understand how students can walk with those long cloaks."

"It takes some getting used to," a husky voice drawled. Turning around quickly she took note of the blond haired DADA professor behind her. "Although I am thankful I don't have wear them anymore."

"As uncoordinated as I was when I was their age I tremble at the thought of what I would've been like if had to wear them."

A low chuckle reverted in the space between them before Kagome stretched out her hand, "Kagome Higurashi, I don't believe we've been introduced yet."

"Remus Lupin," a calloused gripped hers before raising it to his lips. "At your service."

Cocking her eyebrow at the suave move she chuckled under her breath, "is it customary for you to greet a fellow professor this way? I imagine Professor Snape becoming more stoic than is his custom if it is."

A loud guffaw made its way out before he coughed lightly, eyes still glittering in amusement, "no, but I believe Snape more likely than not would sock me a good one if I were to try. As you saw Gryffindor's and Slytherins aren't that close knit."

"Yes," she sighed sadly. "I have noticed a great discord in between the two groups. It is sad that they cannot be more united when they have to convene on a daily basis."

"It is simply something that will no doubt continue on to future generations."

"So then does this mean you were a Gryffindor during your attendance here?"

"Brave lion through and through."

"Ah, well then I believe your right."

"Hm?"

"Professor Snape would sock you rather than allow you to greet him with a kiss."

A stunned silence came from the werewolf before he laughed out loud at the scene developing in his head.

"I wish we had more time to talk Professor but I have some lesson plans to complete," her tone held a hint of amusement, but did overall sound honest in her disappointment. " Maybe we can converse more during dinner? If it is aright with you of course."

"It would be a pleasure Miss Higurashi."

A wide bright smile made the former Gryffindor blink in surprise at the beauty in front of him, before a soft smile made its way onto his face.

Passing close to him she whispered to his ears only, "I would also love to know more of your fellow wolf."

Continuing on she shouted over her shoulder, "See you at dinner Remus-san!"

Green-gold eyes continued to stare at the woman who had, in such a long time, given him more than any other had.

Hope.

Warmth spread throughout him.

Maybe coming to Hogwarts hadn't been such a bad idea after all.

A/N: I think that this is my favorite of all the installments I have made, I just hope everyone else thinks so too.
