Nocturnal thoughts 2

Again he lay there and watched his little godson. This one day alone gave him more food for thought than he had been used to for years. Lily would probably say that he had never thought much before. she once said he only had his head so it wouldn't rain down his throat. He almost laughed at the memory if he had been able to do it in this form. He'd always liked Lily's humor and snappy comments. even if she couldn't stand him for a long time. But it was his and James's own fault.

Sighing, he got up and then jumped into Harry's bed, he just wanted to enjoy being around the boy. and although he was asleep, his little one put his arm around his fur. Human closeness that he had missed in recent years. Sometimes he had hugged himself in his cell because he couldn't stand the loneliness any longer. in the last few years he had even started caressing. Not to satisfy a sexual need, something like that was out of the question in the cold walls of Azkaban. no, it was just about the feeling of not being alone. But he had also closed his eyes to give himself even more to the illusion. maybe that's why he was suddenly so fond of his Animagus form, that way he got the longed-for body contact much sooner. And Harry seemed to be cuddly too. But that was no wonder with the relatives.

sirius remembered some of the stories Lily had told about her sister. As Petunia used to call her a freak when Lily had done magic. She had never left a good hair on Snape either. He and James didn't care about that at first until this red-haired box devil freaked out. She yelled at the two of them that they behaved exactly like Petunia. THAT was a cold shower. Sirius was really ashamed for the first time. The marauders had stopped annoying Snape and other students by the end of their sixth year, but what they had done there, they had only realized after Lily's lecture.
but then it was already too late to apologize. The Slytherin had chosen the other way. Lily always said that it wouldn't surprise her. after all, on the side of the light no one stood by the boy's side.

Sirius looked at the boy again. Harry was so different from James. He looked like him, but that was about it. the little one apparently didn't want any attention, unlike his father. He had wallowed in it. The more the better. That was also one of the reasons why Lily couldn't stand him. and Sirius was no different. He also always wanted to be the center of attention. Everyone should admire and look up to him.
But Harry? No, he almost crawled under the table when someone came along and praised him in the sky.
At the request of this Tang with a swollen chest, James would have said that he would of course take the curse off the compartment. And then he would have counted on his gratitude and taken all possible liberties.
when he thought about it like that now. He and James were by far the biggest idiots in Hogwarts when they were in school.

His thoughts went on to the bat sleeping in the next room.
when he smelled the guy today, all of his kettles had fallen off the shelf. He had attacked him without thinking long. It wasn't until Harry pulled him off his victim that his brain started working again. however, the expression on Snifi was funny. Most likely that was because he had listened to Harry. Somehow the dog got through in him. He wanted to please his master. Merlin had he really just thought that? Hopefully that never came out.
And the guy looked good. Okay, his hair was still greasy, but otherwise. Snape looked really young. Probably much younger than himselfthere had been no mirrors in Azkaban. And Sirius couldn't imagine, with the best will in the world, that the last few years had passed him by without a trace. Great, now he was already thinking about the appearance of the woodlice. although the guy didn't act like a woodlice at all.
Professor. He still couldn't believe it. Snape was a teacher. Somehow he felt sorry for the students. At least Harry hadn't looked happy.
nevertheless his former school enemy had surprised him today very much. Well, there had been snappy comments, but also a lot of joke. When he asked the dog which of them Harry threatened with neutering. and then the thing about the book. Sirius never dreamed that Severus Snape would flee from an oversized scrap of paper. And that's only because his student asked him to. the two seemed to have a strange relationship anyway. First they poisoned each other, and shortly afterwards they sit on the bed and travel jokes. it almost got the impression as if the two just wanted to give the impression that they couldn't stand each other. He definitely had to keep watching that. But tomorrow I was lucky enough to see the healer. some teeth had been a problem for him for a long time. Satisfied, he lay back comfortably and licked Harry's hair again. Yes, he really liked his dog shape.

a room down a potions master lay in his bed and also thought about the day.
When Dumbledore told him to take care of Potter, he still thought neither of them would think about it. After two days at the latest, they would have cast the worst curses on each other's necks. After today's experiences, his image of the boy had changed decisively. There wasn't, as expected, a spoiled, spoiled kid who took advantage of the Ministry and went on the hunt for criminals.
Instead, there was a child who took in a stray and injured dog because no one else would care. just like Lily. And then respect for a friend's gift. And that although said present wanted to nibble him at the beginning.
How the boy approached problem solving was anything but heroic. potter really seemed to think before doing anything. Otherwise he would hardly have been able to calm the book down. For that, Severus would still like to trim the half-giant down to normal size. Nobody put a book on his neck!
Potter's joke was entirely to his liking, dry as dust and sheer sarcasm. Although he would never admit it, of course, the boy had amused him with his announcement about teenagers.
what he had disliked was the obviously bad treatment of Potter's relatives, given the statement about his first gift. Severus knew the behavior. He'd had the same thing back then as a child. something was hidden there. And he didn't want to be a master of his field anymore if he didn't find out.

Then the scene at dinner. That pushy wizard and the behavior of Potter. there was no longer any trace of self-confidence. No arrogance due to his fame.
The kid didn't even want to know what was in the papers about him.
That was the next point. why did the principal promise the boy to keep him out of the public eye? It should have been clear to him that that was just impossible. After all, this was about Harry Potter. damn it, the press even reached out to the teachers for information on the boy's accomplishments. And some also gave this information. Minerva was almost overwhelmed by enthusiasm for her lion's flying talent. and others praised him for killing a basilisk at the age of twelve. In any case, Severus was amazed that no more people approached the child. But that would certainly change tomorrow. after all, they had to go through Diagon Alley with this giant mutt. And while they were at it, they should also buy the school supplies for this year.

Great, he hated shopping. and then with an involuntary celebrity and a dog that looked like a grim. If they all stood naked in front of Gringotts, they couldn't attract more attention. Severus turned grumpily on his other side. the only good thing about it all was that he didn't have to worry about running around with a child star who was busy handing out autographs.
With these thoughts the Master of Potions fell asleep.
