Part 2

You had a knock on the door. What you hadn't seen was the two men walking briskly back to their quarters, getting alcohol and running back.

You opened the door. Severus had got their first.

"Come in" you said. He walked in with a triumphant smile on his face.

"Lupin not here yet?" he asked

"Nope" you answered.

"shame," Severus said. He sat on the couch and played with the bottle. "It's my own bottle. I call it fire wine. It has-" before he could finish there was a knock on the door.

Lupin came in and his face fell as he saw Severus. But turned to you and smiled. "Vintage Rain duck" he said. "Last one in the store. There is a funny story. A guy called Roger tried to steal it from me."

"That's enough boring stories" Severus said "Let us open my fire wine" he saved his wand and the Cork came off.

"I'll get some glasses" you said.

"allow me" Lupin said, getting up and taking out some glasses.

"There are only two glasses" Severus said as you and lupin had taken theirs.

"How forgetful of me" Lupin said. Severus huffed as Lupin went up to get another glass.

Lupin took a sip and grimaced. "Not your best work Severus" he said. "It has been corked"

"Yeah, I'm sorry Severus" you said.

"Maybe if you didn't keep it in a dungeon where anything could get to it" Lupin said.

"I will open the rain duck" he said and stood. "Let's pour the fire wine away"

Severus sat on his couch sullen as Lupin pored the rain duck.

You sipped it and Severus did also. "You have a very poor taste of wine" Severus mused. "This is an enjoyable gathering, not a steak dinner. A less strong red would have worked better"

"or maybe your taste isn't refined." lupin said.

"I assure you." Severus snapped. "I assure you that I know good wine."

"though your wine was corked."

"That was one bottle" Severus snapped. "I will get another he declared. He waved his wand and sent to the door, opening it he brought back in another bottle.

He poured them out and you tried it. " That is much better "you said." It's slightly fizzy"

"Yes" he said. "and look". He waved his wand and the liquid started to burn slightly. "That is why it's called fire wine," he said. "It tastes better once it has burned."

"Then the alcohol would be burned off," lupin said. Severus shot him an ugly stare and looked away.

"So how have you two been?" you asked.

"I have been good" lupin said.

"As have I" Severus said. "however Lupin you are still a werewolf"

"Your point?" he asks.

"You must be tired all the time" he said. "Not able to have a girlfriend. Not boyfriend or husband material, being tired all the time and not able to be a support their loved one"

"That was my second question" you said. "and Severus, stop criticising him" you said to Severus. He put his hands up in mock defeat

"I don't have one" lupin said. "However, I highly doubt like me, Severus has a girlfriend. At least I have a personality rather than just shallow emo"

Severus shot him a glare. "Tell me" Severus said. "hows James?"

Lupin stared at Severus. "Too soon" Lupin said.

"I was just asking a simple question," Severus said, putting his hands up again.

"Severus. You shouldn't have said that" you said

"Tell me" Lupin asked. "How's your mother Severus. And your sex life?"

Severus glared angrily at Lupin.

"Both of you stop it" you said standing. "All I have heard is bickering. I invited you here for a nice time and relaxation. To get to know each other again." you looked down. "Now there's no point."

"Wait" they both said.

"No. Get out both of you" you said. "And leave the wine"

They both left, tails between their legs as you sat and downed the rain duck which was the closest to you.
