Hiii!!❤️can you please write a wolfstar fic where snape gets his revenge on Sirius for the whomping willow incident by using the sectumspempra curse on him and Remus is really worried about Sirius ?? ❤️
Sirius saw the blood before he felt it. It created thin lines of red, like thread wrapping slowly around his chest, his palms, his throat. Thin and thick strips that seeped through his white dress shirt, his black robes. They created new colors as they mixed with his maroon and gold tie.
“I might have been saved.” Sirius stumbled back, at the pain slowly leaking its way into his nerves, at the voice in front of him. Snape slashed his wand once more, and Sirius was on his knees, feeling the skin across his chest spring open with the motion, “But you won’t be.”
There was a hand around his neck, cool and clamming and clenched into his skin, pulling his eyes upwards. Snape leaned over him. His shirt sleeve was stained red, “And they’ll find you like this. The others.” James, Peter, Remus, Remus Remus—
Snape snarled, “They’ll find you right here, right in their reach, dead.”
Sirius, the second Snape had appeared in their dorm and raised his wand, had decided to keep silent. Snape wouldn’t kill him outright, not that he’d really expected to be killed at all. Hurt, yes. Left to hurt, definitely. His wand was across the dorm on Remus’ bed, but he had felt the heavy weight of his and James’ mirror in his pocket. His escape, his call for help. Except now his vision was going blurry. He couldn’t feel his fingers. I’m getting blood on the carpet, he thought. Mum won’t like that.
When Snape let go, Sirius dropped, hands just barely catching himself. The rug was wet from the cut across his chest, and it sponged around his fingers, turning them red too. The door shut, and for a moment all Sirius could do was stare at the steady trickling feeling within him, like he was a cracked ceramic vase that had yet to be mended. When the word smeared across his vision again, he remembered. He reached into his pocket, got blood on the surface, and he thought his lips said James’ name, but he wasn’t entirely sure until James appeared, grinning and then not.
“Sirius.” When James said his name, Sirius allowed himself to close his eyes, “Fuck, what—“ Then there were footsteps, and he heard Remus’ voice, faintly, and in pieces.
footsteps footsteps footsteps
Sirius started when the door opened. It banged fiercely against the wall and Sirius’ entire body jerked.
“No—“ He heard himself say, because for a moment the walls weren’t red they were black, and the hands on him were long and manicured, not Remus’. And then he blinked again and absolutely everything was red, even Remus’ hands. Remus hadn’t touched Sirius in weeks. So long, so long, Remus, I’m sorry—
“There’s blood on your cheek.” Sirius mumbled instead when he found Remus’ eyes, and when he reached his arm out to smear it away, he only made it worse, “Shit.“
“Pads.” Remus’ lips trembled around the word as he gathered Sirius’ form against his chest, his eyes darting around his body, “What happened to you? Who—”
Sirius gasped as Remus trailed the tip of his wand along a cut. The healing spell tore the skin apart and Remus—or maybe it was himself—sobbed.
“Merlin, oh god.” Remus threw his wand away as if it had burned him and Sirius, the amount of pain almost numbing, curled further into Remus’ chest and said, “Snape.”
This time it really was Remus who let out a sorrow filled noise, following Sirius’ lead and cradling his head in his arm, bloody fingers in his hair. Sirius closed his eyes at the touch, “Re—“
“No.” Remus’ breath trembled, “No, don’t close your eyes, Pads. Padfoot.” A warm palm pressed to his cheek, “It’s okay. Open your eyes, Sirius, it’s okay. It’s okay.”
Even through Sirius’ blood-loss-fog, he knew this was, finally, an acceptation of an apology. He felt lighter because of it, even if the forgiveness probably had a lot to do with the blood they sat in. Sirius tried to do his part, to open his eyes, but they were suddenly heavy, too heavy.
“‘m trying.” He pushed his cheek into Remus’ touch, or rather, let it fall. His words slurred, “I don’t know what he did to me—“
“Where is he?” A new, shriller voice entered the room, followed by a gasp, “Mr. Black…Oh—“ McGonagall knelt, “Poppy, come, bring the stretcher—“
“I can’t stop all the blood.” Remus’ voice again, ripped and torn over the words, “Please—if I let go—“
“Re.” Sirius’ hearing was foggy now. He was warm, he felt light. Remus was holding him, Remus forgave him, “Stay.”
It was the last thing he remembered.
He was in the Hospital Wing when he woke. The light coming in from the floor to ceiling windows hurt his head. There was a hand in his and sandy hair resting on his thigh. The weight sent warmth spiraling through him. He reached out almost hesitantly, his arm surprising him with how heavy it felt, and as a result ended up dropping his palm atop Remus’ head with much more momentum than intended. The result was Remus starting upright, gasping his name.
“Sorry.” Sirius rasped, “Sorry.” The word tasted bitter, but he couldn’t stop saying it, “Sorry.”
Remus shook his head, pulling Sirius’ fingers between his own, “I already told you.” He pressed a kiss to Sirius’ knuckles in place of finishing the sentence. It’s okay.
Sirius nods, minutely because it hurts, because everything hurts now that he thinks about it. Remus sees the wince and is instantly on his feet and pressing the mouth of a small bottle to his lips. The pain lessens, but even the dull throb is a reminder that something happened.
When Remus moves to scoot his stool closer and presses his fingers through his hair, Sirius finds his voice again. He loops his fingers around Remus’ elbow, just for the warmth, for the pulse, “Do they know what it was? What’s happened to Snape?”
Remus looks away, and for a second Sirius thinks someone is coming. But then Remus looks down again and he realizes it was to soften the simmering of anger that was at constant threat of boiling over, “He’s probably still in Dumbledore’s office. They picked him up almost immediately after I told them what you said. They checked his wand.”
Sirius raised an eyebrow, letting his fingers trail up Remus’ forearm to his hand again, pulling it against his chest, “And?” Remus watched the motion, biting at his cheek and reaching out with his other hand to hold Sirius’ between them, to run his thumb over Sirius’ lip, little touches that Sirius swore he could bask in until the end of time.
“That’s the thing.” Remus shook his head, disbelieving, “They didn’t recognize the spell, or the name. Seprum—I don’t even remember, when they told me you were still bleeding so I was barely even half listening.” Remus swallowed and a corner of his mouth lifted as Sirius pressed a kiss to his palm, “But they cast it. The spell, they cast it on one of the dead rats from Potions.” Remus let out a breath and it shook. His grip tightened on Sirius, “The thing cut itself to fucking ribbons.”
Sirius blinked, remembering watching the lines of blood bloom across his own body, “I…How is that possible?”
“He invented it.” Remus scoffed suddenly, lips twisting in a grimacing smile, “Can you fucking believe that? The little fuck invented something as awful as that. And then—then to use it on—“ Remus shook his head, pressing a hand over his mouth like the thought made him legitimately sick to his stomach.
Sirius felt a little nauseated too, if he was telling the truth, “Merlin.”
They sat in silence for a moment until Remus found it in him to remove his hand, pressing it back warmly to Sirius’ skin, “Anyway, he’s going to be expelled. Maybe even tried at the Ministry. For attempted murder.”
“Merlin.” Sirius said again, then, his his heart stuttered, “Re.”
But Remus was already shaking his head, “He won’t talk about that.” Remus seemed to have read Sirius’ mind. After all, Sirius had brought this on himself. He’d lead Snape to the Shack. He could be tried too.
“How do you know?” Sirius whispered.
Remus was still shaking his head, but he leaned forward and pressed a hard kiss to Sirius’ forehead. Sirius pressed on, “Remus, if he talks about me, he’ll talk about you, he’ll expose—“
“Dumbledore won’t let that happen.”
“I don’t.” Remus’ voice shook, “I don’t know, and I don’t want to think about that, the point—“ Remus pressed his palms to Sirius cheeks, “The point is you’re alive. Okay? You’re alive and you didn’t die fighting with me.” Sirius blinked and suddenly there were tears in Remus’ eyes, “You almost died thinking I hated you. I almost lost you having told you I hated you. I swear, Pads, if that had been the last thing I said to you—“
“But it wasn’t.” Sirius struggled for a moment before sitting up on his elbows, ignoring the burn of freshly spelled wounds, “And—“ his voice dropped to a whisper again, “And if you have to leave, Re, I’ll come with you.” He reached out with one bandaged hand, and Remus let with a soft sigh, “I’ll follow you anywhere.”
“Even into hiding?” Remus’ voice shook, “Sirius, I don’t want that for you.”
“—but not the rest of it.” Remus shakes his head, “Not the wolf. Not the, the judgement.”
Sirius leans forward all the way, tugging on Remus’ shirt collar until he gingerly sits on the edge of the hospital bed, “If that’s what comes with you, then yes.” Sirius lets Remus search his eyes for a lie because he won’t find any, “Then yeah, I do. What, you think I can’t handle some judgment? A few fuckers who can’t get their facts straight? Re, I come from a whole family of those.”
He only smiles once, after a few moments, Remus lets out a little watery laugh of his own. Then he wiped at his cheek and nudged his fingers beneath the hem of Sirius pajamas, feeling for warm skin, for comfort, “Well, nothing’s even happened yet, so. So, I don’t even know why we’re talking about it—no, no, no, Pads, I’m going to hurt—“
“No, you won’t.” Sirius finished his sudden attack of pulling Remus’ legs to settle on either side of his hips, smiling and, before Remus can get out another word, pressing their mouths together. He runs his tongue along Remus’ lips and squeezes his waist tighter when Remus lets out a hot breath into his mouth. Sirius only barely breaks away enough to speak, “‘m just gonna kiss you now, okay?”
Remus snorts a little, “Until Madame Pomfrey comes in to stop us?”
The corner of Sirius’ mouth lifts and Remus turns to kiss it, “Exactly.”
