[Severus Snape]

It was a warm nice day in Hogwarts, Snape had desided to head for the Hogwarts Lake, it would be somthing nice to do today & he hopped not many people would be around.

Snape had taken a walk to clear his mind, though as he walked he decided to go to some where he could not easily be picked out or found. He glanced up as he thought he heard something, he looked in the source of the sound he saw Sirius & Black, he stopped before he turned to go a different direction of them to avoided them but, it was clear after a bit of time that it was not to be the case the two where on his trail & with it left only two options fight or be beat, he had grow tired of being beat & so now he would fight, if he was beat then he knew he had tried,. He knew the odds where he would get into trouble for this but, he did not carried, Snape signed as he though to work to still avoided them only to find him self quickly face to face with the two, there other friends with them. Before he knew it spells where flying, though it was at the moment 2 on 1 he held his own, though it was not easy he had learned to do it or he would be crushed.

He was able to get Sirius out of the game for a bit, as he was knocked to the ground Snape was then just as quick to cast one of his own spells a silent one that hit James by surprise, he was then quickly at the mercy of Snape.

Snape had no mind to allow James out of the spell, he would show him who truly was the better duel & when he would be proven to no take others spells & try to use them as there own. How ever, it was clear that Snape’s eyes only flickered once as Lily moved pasted the group closer to Snape, many had learned that despite there tormenting of Snape when in such a satiation, Snape would hold the upper hand.

Oddly Lily was able to get close to Snape so close that she could touch him & she did so, she had spoken simply looking at Snape “Let him go Severus, you are better then this” It was odd even more to see just how much control she had over Snape or more how much Snape carried on Lily’s thoughts.

Breaking the spell Snape looked away before turning to leave, it was not in him to run but, he knew that he had to get away. How ever it was short lived as he moved to block on spell only to have another one send him to the ground hard drawing his blood form his mouth.

Snape was quick to his feet as he dodged a spell & sent one of his own, the battle was one again tell Lily got in the way, then the dueling appeared to stop the two that has started it again would not risk harming Lily & she knew it & Snape knew it as well that is why he would not ask her to leave he simply wanted to be left alone. Now Snape watched to see if the two would try anything or if they would let him leave as he wanted to.

[Remus Lupin]

Remus smiled as he stepped out of the castle onto the grounds-it was warm today, and he loved the feel of sun on his face. Perhaps it was because he was doomed to be outside every full moon, or maybe it was something else. However, the werewolf-boy drew a deep breath, and started off towards the lake where he was to meet Sirius and James.

Remus' stride was smooth, and long. He smiled at a few girls that waved to him, but didn't talk much. He was a very quiet boy, as everyone knew, and, when no one was looking, Remus cracked open the book that he held under his arm and read until someone greeted him again.

When he reached the lake, Remus came to a standstill. "What have they done now?" His voice was dismayed as he watched. He had just spent a long time trying to get Severus to be friendly towards him, and there were Sirius and James, messing it all up.

"Stop it this instant!" Remus' voice was not quite sharp enough to reach his friends' ears, and they didn't back off. Not willing to leave Severus alone to face his friends, Remus ran over, dropping his book on the grass.

"I said stop it!" The long-haired boy stood in between Severus and the other boys. "I'm sorry, James, Sirius. But it's two on one. I won't report you, you know I won't. I'm sorry." With that, he turned around to Severus, looking him over seriously. "Are you alright?"

[Severus Snape]

Snape had been on guard Lily was by him but, he did not look away form James or Sirus the two had tormented him for so long & he knew if it had not been for Lily one of the two likely would be dead by now if not both of them. The only other out come would have been Snape would have been beaten to such a point, that he would be left to lick his wounds.

But, then he saw Remus enter the scene he was still leery of trusting the boy but, then it came form years of heck so he had a reason, with Reus words to James & Sirius he figured it would go that way & it angered him for he knew that even if he said something to take points away it would simply be revoked by Remus, the anger was there in his eyes as he head Remus words to him.

Even with the teats of blood in his mouth he show no sign he had felt it or even knew he was hurt, thought he was he knew that there was some damage not to the point it had been at times before but, then he did not think they expected him to fight back ether.

He looked at Remus a moment before he spoke “I am fine” With that though he turned & left with out a word, there was more an out line of blood to his mouth now then before, a further sign he was hurt but, he would not give the two an satisfaction, at least James would be licking his wounds this time even Sirius would have to do so.

As he left Lily had fallowed trying to get him to speak to allow her to help but, it had taken her a bit of time to make her hear him. Only once he was listening did she convince him to allow her to help, he signed before allow her to lead him off to where she could help tend to his wounds. He was not use to the idea but, he would not pass up spending time with her ether.

Once they got to where they where Lily had Snape site before moving to cheek Snape over, mostly his jaw to see that he was truly alright though as she had touch his jaw Snape had drawn back a bit, not greatly but, a sign he was hurt & the sign could be feel as well be lightly seen.

It was clear Lily must of felt bad for Severus before she moved to place a cool cloth to his jaw to help take out the heat; it was true a spell could have been used but, she wanted to speak with Snape & it gave her more reason to do so this way. “Why must you fight them Snape, you could have walked away”

Snape looked at her before he spoke “I am tired of rolling over & being there amusement”

[Remus Lupin]

Remus stood still for a moment as Severus ran. He didn't know what to do. Finally, Remus gave his friends a sad glance and turned to run off after the other boy. As his feet pounded across the ground, Remus wondered what had gotten into his friends' heads. Usually they were kinder-weren't they? A creeping suspicion reared its head deep in Remus' mind, but he quelled the thought, reassuring himself that his friends were good people. After all, no one could know it better than he would.

When he reached Severus, Remus paused for a moment, unsure whether to go up to the Slytherin boy or stay where he was. Lily Evans was there, though, so Severus couldn't hurt Remus at all. That reassured the werewolf a little.

"Severus?" Remus asked questioningly, silently asking permission to approach. He shot a small smile at Lily- Remus always tried to be nice to everyone.

[Severus Snape]

Snape did not miss the sound of foot steeps, he was ready to fight again when he heard Lily speak softly “Don’t Severus you are better then this” Of course at the moment Snape though it was Sirius or James but, he held as Jamie had asked when he saw it was Remus, the boy was pressing his luck they where not friends & at the moment the only reason Snape allowed Lily close was because she was his only friend. Snape’s eyes flickered at he heard Remus words -Why was he hear, come to tell him he was wrong & he should not of fought, he ready did not care any more. He was glade to see that they finally got what was coming to them & the next time, he was sure there would be that they would not be so lucky. He looked up to where Remus was he easily spoke though it was not a welcoming tone but, then when did he ever really use such a tone excepted with Lily “What do you want Remus”
