“You mean like you tried to kill me, lad?” he snorted, taking the younger man’s jaw in hand to tip his head up, a smirk playing at him lips. Dark eyes had settled on Severus. “And what are you goin’ to hurt, aye? Little thing like you going to break my heart when you decide to shag someone else? Think I might be the one hurting you.”

Severus’ eyes narrowed and he lifted his chin just ever so slightly, the largest touch of defiance that he dared to show while the other practically had his hand around his throat.  Their wands were somewhere in the room, buried under piles of clothing and fabric, and diving for it would be utterly inefficient, to say the very least.  

“Of course not,” Severus scoffed, his voice even and careful and yet full of venom nevertheless. “Heartbreak can only happen if you have a heart in the first place.”

“Is that what this is about? What I did when I was a bloody kid?” James spat out angrily. Fifth year had changed a lot for him, really… After that, he hadn’t gone after Severus much– not unprovoked. A near bite from Remus.. that seemed like enough. “You realize how much is at stake, right? We’re in the middle of a bloody war!”

“Oh, do shut up, Potter, unless you have something of value to say - and in any case, yes, it is about what you did.  It’s about how you betrayed your closest friend’s secret only for the sake of scaring me, how you and Black and Pettigrew had no qualms against using Lupin as a weapon!”  He nearly bared his teeth.  These meetings at Grimmauld Place had never been pleasant before, but having to be within close proximity to James Potter for an extended period of time was perhaps the worst aspect of it all.

“How are we - how is Dumbledore supposed to trust you with matters involving thousands of lives if you are so willing to use even your own friends and comrades to your benefit, Potter?!”  It was difficult, very difficult to shake Snape, and yet here he had done so - trust was in short supply these days, and as a recently-turned double agent, he would know more than anyone else.

“That’s a mistake I’m only too willing to correct, Snivellus!”

“Come on, then!” Snape shouted, and then leapt to his feet with a ferocity that he didn’t know he had in him, wand out and teeth bared like some sort of feral cat.  “Give it your best lousy attempt, you bastard!”

“Oi, excuse you,” Walden snapped, smacking the younger man’s hands away, “When I said you have to stay here and blocked the bloody door, it wasn’t a fucking question! You sit your arse down before I hex it off of you and hang it on the wall.”

“You wouldn’t,” Severus taunted, knowing full well that Macnair indeed would, although he was certainly delusional if he thought that Snape was going to take it lying down.  “What fun would that be, anyhow?”  He nearly snorted, giving Macnair an exaggerated eye roll.  “In any case, barricading me in here isn’t going to do anything.”

Walden sighs, wrapping the kid in an arm and pulling him close. It’s a hug of sorts. It’s protective. “Don’t look, kid,” he murmured to him, edging away from a group of bodies. More kids. Severus’ age it seemed. The boy didn’t need to see it.

Macnair had crushed Snape into his chest and Severus promptly forgot how to breathe.  His first thought was that this had been some poor attempt at suffocation, but he wasn’t being rough, not exactly, and - 

“What,” Severus hissed, his voice muffled, “what is it?”  And more so, did he even want to know, if whatever it was had driven Macnair out of all people to shield him from it?

Evan let out something like a growl as he slashed his wand one last time through the air and brought a large branch crashing to the ground. He was breathing heavily and crouched, hiding his face against his palms.

“Shit… shit…”

Severus curled in tighter on himself, drawing his bony legs to his chest and pressing himself back against the enormous tree - he and Evan had apparated and then ran as far as they could, so many times that they’d long since lost track of which direction they were going.  Both of them were covered in various bruises and gashes from head to toe, and Severus could only blindly clench his hands into fists and hope that his wand was in one of them, because he couldn’t feel anything to tell for sure.

“Tell me they’re gone, Evan,” Severus gasped, bracing himself against the tree as he tried to rise up on wobbly legs, “we...d’we lose ‘em?”  Merlin, his lungs felt like they were on fire - and the aurors had nearly gotten them, too.
