Saturday morning
When Ron doesn't come down for breakfast Lupin goes
to his room and gently wakes him up. Ron smiles when
he sees his dad. "Oh did I oversleep?" Lupin smiles
and smoothes Ron's hair. "Yes son you did. If you're
not up to work today, we could ask either Crabbe or
Goyle to go instead." Lupin suggests slightly worried.
Ron is warm to the touch. "I think I insist actually.
You don't look well." Ron nods and curls back up under
the blankets.
Lupin sighs and goes downstairs. "Ron is sick.
Crabbe, Goyle would one of you please go in
Ron's place?" Crabbe nods and goes to change. Harry
looks at Lupin worriedly. "Will he be alright Uncle
Lupin?" Lupin smoothes back Harry's hair and kisses
his scar. "If he doesn't get better soon I'll check
with Madame Pomfrey. Okay?" Harry nods and gives Lupin
a hug. After saying goodbye to everyone else the three
boys leave.
When they arrive Fred and George look at Crabbe
strangely. "Where's Ron?" Fred asks slightly
worried. Harry sighs and sits down. "He's sick. Uncle
Lupin ordered him to stay home. He said if Ron doesn't
get better in a few days he will check with
Madame Pomfrey." Fred nods and gives him an
exasperated look. "All right. Let's get to work boys."
After a long day the three boys head back to the
manor. When they arrive Ron is curled up on the couch
sleeping. When the boys come in they stop short and
then go by quietly. They enter the kitchen to find
supper almost ready. "Hello boys." Sirius says
walking over to Harry hugging him close. "How was
work?" Harry smiles and kisses his Dad's cheek. "Fine"
Sirius smiles and kisses his scar. "Would you go wake
Ron please? He should come eat."
Harry nods and goes to wake Ron. When he gently
shakes Ron's shoulder Ron opens his eyes slowly. "Hi
Harry." Ron mumbles rubbing at his eyes. Harry smiles
and helps him sit up. "Come on Ron it's time for
supper. My Dad wants you to join us for supper. Come
on."
Both boys head to the dining room and join the rest
of the family for supper. Snape puts down a large pan
of Shepard's Pie in it. Jen smiles and puts down a
salad. "It's a muggle dish that I love. Come on try
it." Everyone tries small bites, then they eat more
and more as they find they like it.
After a nice supper Ron crawls back onto the couch.
Lupin walks in and sits down pulling Ron's head into
his lap. Ron sniffles and looks up. "Oh hi
Dad." Ron says smiling. Lupin smiles back and kisses
his forehead. "Hello son. Are you feeling a little
better?" Ron nods and yawns. "A little better. Really
tired though." Lupin chuckles and ruffles his hair.
"Well then let's get you to bed." Ron scowls but
agrees.
With that Lupin helps Ron up and into bed. Lupin
helps his son into a pair of PJ's and then into bed.
"If you're feeling better tomorrow you may go. But we
will see." Ron nods yawning. He gives his dad a quick
hug then curls up falling asleep. After everyone is
asleep Snape slips out of his bed goes downstairs.
After pouring himself a cup of tea he settles down and
starts reading a book.
An hour later Lupin wakes up when he hears Ron
moaning and groaning. Lupin goes and checks on him.
"Ron, are you okay son? Do you want something to help
you sleep?" Ron nods his head and Lupin goes to
Snape's room to get assistance. When he doesn't find
him there he goes downstairs looking. A growl makes
it's way up his throat as he finds Snape working on a
potion. Snape looks up and smiles. "I had a feeling
Ron would need this."
Lupin looks at the cold cup of tea and open book on
the table, then glares at Snape, not believing him.
Snape gulps and squirms slightly. "Well maybe that's
not totally the truth." Lupin glares and takes the
potion. "Go stand in the corner holding the adult
cane."
Snape starts to argue. "But you only paddled Sirius."
Snape whines. Lupin gives him a stern look. "Yes but
Sirius didn't try to lie to get out of it." Snape
sighs and gets the cane and walks to the corner.
After giving Ron the potion Lupin returns downstairs
to find Sirius in the kitchen fixing some tea. Sirius
looks up and glares at Lupin. "Would
you explain to me why he has earned the cane?" Sirius
asks gently handing him a cup of tea. Lupin sits down
and drinks it. "He lied in an attempt to avoid
punishment. I felt that deserved more than just the
paddle. It would have for me." Lupin says remembering
Sirius had made him cut a switch for lying about
disobeying Sirius. "You switched me for lying to you
when I broke a rule. I could make him go cut a
switch to use on him instead. If that seems more
fair."
Sirius smiles and shakes his head no. "I think the
cane is fair. I didn't know he tried to get out of it
by lying. Are you up to delivering this punishment?"
Lupin nods his head and goes into the living room.
"Come here Snape." Lupin orders sternly towards the
figure in the corner. Snape groans
and walks over. "Nice try, however Sirius agrees with
me about what you deserve. Originally, you were going
to receive 4 strokes. But since you tried to pit
Sirius against me for a justifiable punishment, we are
adding two strokes." Snape growls and mutters under
his breath. Lupin ignores the mumbling and takes the
cane. "Sleeping pants and underwear down, then bend
over the table please."
Snape gulps and does as Lupin orders. When his bottom
is bare Snape bends over the table. When Snape has
bent over the table Lupin stands on
Snape's left hand side. "Six strokes Snape. If you
move or fail to count, the stroke will not count. Any
questions?" Snape shakes his head and lays it
looking away from Lupin. He doesn't want Lupin to see
him cry.
Lupin puts a hand on Snape's back and raises the
cane. Lupin snaps it down and hears Snape howl and
count. As the strokes land Snape can't stop the tears
and cries. He knew sitting would be impossible for a
few days. When the sixth stroke has been
delivered Lupin removes his hand. "Alright Snape your
caning is over. Come on stand up and let's get to
bed."
Snape stands up wiping his eyes and pulls up his
pants. He tries to leave but Lupin stops him and pulls
him into a hug. "Shh Snape you have been punished and
are forgiven. That's it." Snape nods his head in
Lupin's shoulder. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied
to you. It was wrong of me.
I'm sorry." Lupin gently rubs the back of his head.
"It's okay. You have been pretty well behaved lately.
You have done a great deal of good for your son.
Draco loves you beyond belief." Snape looks up and
smiles. "I know that and I love him just as much. I
want to make him happy. Yes, he has gotten into
trouble and I have spanked him a couple of times. But
otherwise he has been a well behaved young man. I
love him immensely." Lupin and Sirius exchange a
smile. "We love Draco a lot also, Snape. Just like you
love our sons a lot. But all of us need some sleep."
Sirius smiles and puts an arm over each man's shoulder
leading them to bed. Sirius takes the lead and sends
Snape to take care of his needs while he tucks Lupin
in.
When Sirius and Lupin walk into Lupin's room Sirius
frowns. "This room is a MESS! You will clean it
tomorrow. Is that understood?" Sirius asks sternly.
Lupin nods speechless. Sirius sounded ANGRY. He
doesn't like that anger being pointed in his
direction.
"Yessir." Lupin says gulping. "Good." Sirius tucks
Lupin in and notices the fear on Lupin's face. "It's
okay Lupin I'm not angry." Sirius soothes. Lupin nods
and gives him a small smile. "I'll have it clean by
lunchtime. Pending complications of course." Sirius
smiles and hugs him.
After Lupin is tucked in Sirius he goes to Snape's
room. When he arrives Snape is laying on his stomach
in bed. Snape looks up when Sirius approaches. Snape
blushes and looks down. "You must think I'm not worthy
of being around your son and his friends. I'm
wondering if you wouldn't be right." Sirius sighs and
sits down on the edge of the bed. "No I don't Snape.
You screwed up and were punished." Snape sighs and
wipes his eyes. "Dumbledore will be angry. He wasn't
sure about Draco becoming my son but he knew you would
punish me if I screwed up. I'm sorry Sirius." Snape
says sniffling. He has screwed up and he knows it.
Sirius places a gentle hand on his forehead. "I think
Dumbledore will know you were punished. It's okay."
Snape smiles and curls up on his side. "Goodnight
Sirius." Sirius tucks him in and kisses his forehead.
"Goodnight Snape."
