When two opposites meet one on one for the first time in six years, they discover there is more to fighting than a golden Snitch.

‘Harry moved his eyes along the table, to the place where Snape sat. Was he imagining it, or were Snape’s eyes flickering towards Lupin more often than was natural?’ (PoA p. 119 Bloomsbury) SS/RL Slash. Post OotP, a one shot.

Pairing our beloved Professor Snape with someone is not an easy task. Being the perfect git he is, not many (sane) women would fancy being on the receiving end of his affections. If he’s at all capable of loving someone, his feelings better be directed towards a strong and independent woman who has the guts and the sense of humour to stand up to him. Why? Because it's never safe to be around a former Death Eater who very easily gets annoyed... But when Hogwarts gets a new Potions mistress who is not only skilled in her field of work but also happens to be an excellent Quidditch player, a Beater (very few girls are), Snape's got to learn to watch his steps!

James is dead. Sirius is dead. Wormtail is dead. Remus is the only one left of the four Hogwarts friends. Shunned by the rest of the wizarding community, the Weasleys and his old friends in the Order are the only ones who care about the tired and greying werewolf. Or so he believes. But maybe there’s someone else out there who, aided by a special brand of ancient magic, is brave enough to take on a fully grown wolf. Someone who cares enough to know exactly how much sugar he prefers in his tea.
