Chapter Text
Today was the day. The day that comes and goes every year. His birthday. He should be excited about it, happy about it, right? He was turning 16, that's something to celebrate with friends, family, and beloved ones. Since he was closer to graduating and finally having his job and own life.
But there was nothing to celebrate or be happy about. Why should there be? The day was to anyone around him like any other day, same went to him. It's just him turning a different age and his number is changing, nothing special. And even if it was, there was no one to celebrate it with, no one to be happy with.
He and Lily made up after their long argument from last year, but he still had a little fear of asking her to celebrate with her. He was scared that something bad would happen again and he would snap at her like last time. He didn't want to lose his friend especially after he made up with her and they were alright!
Plus after some time he was seeing the "Birthday" thing rather ridiculous. Why was it suppose to be celebrated? That the person was closer to its death or looking even worse? Not to mention it was just receiving gifts, having cake, a small party like on any other holiday or special occasion.
So his wasn't anything special. He sighed closing his book before he made his way out of the library to the Great Hall. He spends half of the morning and nearly missed half breakfast so he had to hurry up a little. Although he wasn't much of an eater it didn't mean he would just starve!
It only took him about 10 minutes before he got to the big wooden door and opened them with ease. Inside every student and teacher were happily enjoying their meal and having conversations so no one noticed how the young Slytherin went to his table and started to put some food on his table.
No one except four people. More specific 4 Gryffindor boys, who watched the entrance of their infamous "Snivellous Snape" as they called him (except for the young light brunette one.)
They were wondering when he would show up or if he would ever actually. They watched carefully as he slipped inside the hall, walked to his table, sat down and gave himself some good breakfast.
They all noticed how different he was acting. He was much more distant, much quieter and after classes always hid somewhere. It happened this every year, and they finally found out why
"It's today, isn't it?" asked the light-haired brunette, not taking his eyes from Severus for a few minutes before looking at his two friends still keeping an eye at him.
"Yup. Certainly is, just look at the way he's acting. Like every other year on this day." said the long, black-haired one.
The others gave either hum or a nod as an agreement. The messy-haired one turned around finally taking his eyes from the young, raven-haired Slytherin before he set his eyes on the light brunette.
"So, did you figure out what was causing this?" he asked a bit of hope mixed with well hidden excitement. Remus nodded "Yea," before letting out a sigh it's his birthday today." this made all the young teenagers look at him with curiosity and in Sirius' eyes was seen mostly disbelief "Sooo...he's all depressed cause it's his birthday?" he asked. James made a little laugh "Heh, most likely the slimy git's worst torture possible."
they both let out a laugh that would most likely turn into a hysterical one if wouldn't have been for Remus' angered stare. They both quickly shut up like a fish in water, knowing full well that Remus even if not in his wolf form he could be just as dangerous.
Once Remus saw that none of the boys would say nor do anything to interrupt him or say anything rude he continued "He always spends it by himself and thinks of it as an average day. Not giving a damn about it. And before you'll ask how I know this, the answer is simple." he said with a small sarcastic smile "Lily"
"Lily, told you?" Peter finally asked. Remus looked at him and smiled "Yes, she's worried about him. Fearing this behavior may get worse."
they all expect James made a small nod and sadness reenable on their faces. James' was turned in a thoughtful expression, biting his lip nervously before a smug smile appeared on his lips.
Sirus looked at him weirdly along with Remus that asked ôWhat are you thinking James?" James didn't answer only removed his hand from his chin still looking dazed into the charming ceiling "I know that stare and smile, you've thought of something bad didn't you?" it wasn't asked nor said as a question more like a good statement.
James chuckled before looking at the very curious boys "Our Snivey here clearly lacks some good experiences in having fun." "Yea? Well, whose fault is that?" James ignored his werewolf friend before continuing "I was thinking of what we all together do to him for us all to have fun."
at the word 'all' he circled his finger all around the four of them "At first I thought we could do a little prank on him, but now knowing what the reason behind his sucking is. I've thought of a better idea."
Sirius and Peter leaned closer fully aware James was about to say the last line much quieter. Remus gently faces palmed already expecting the worse. And knowing very well he will not be in any way their partner in crime.
"How about us..." James started leaving closer to the other two doing the same "Give Snively a little birthday party?" he asked. Sirius let out an annoyed groan quickly falling back to his seat "Really? A party, for him?! No way!" Peter nodded quickly agreeing with him. Remus rolled his eye but still quite suspicious of James.
"It's not exactly a party just for him. Since we all be involved even you Remus, no excuses you will be there!" he pointed his index finger at his friend who as reading to protest but was quickly cut off "And I don't think he'll fully be enjoying himself, sure it will be a party but mostly for us. For him...let's say a little torture."
the last part was but a whisper which caught Sirius', Peter's and even Remus' attention. Now he knew this was not good once he saw the there friends smiling at each other slyly like foxes.
"What do you mean:"
"What I mean to say, dear Rem. Is that we'll give him the most unforgettable, amazing fucking party he had ever given us." he almost purred and at that Remus' eyes went wide while Peter blushed but along with Sirius and James let out small chuckles that could've been turned into much bigger one but they remind silent.
"How are we going to do this?" Sirius asked curiously at James who was already getting ready to leave
"Let's discuss the details in Common Room. I don't want anyone else to hear this and warn our little Slytherin." a cold chuckle escaped his lips as he stood up along with his two best friends who were quickly hurrying to their Common Room.
Before James followed he looked at Remus, who was still quite shocked by the message. He was looking in front of him.
James smirked before saying "The choice is up to you, Remus. Either you'll come with us and later on enjoy our party. Or you can be left behind but most certainly not running off to Snivellus. I made sure of that."
Remus quickly looked up locking his eyes with James' Confusion running over him "What do you mean? I thought I had no choice?"
Theoretically, since I know how much you'd enjoy it yourself especially. Don't think I didn't notice the way you look at him. Gaze full of desire, want and most importantly a lust~." Remus' cheeks heated up before looking away once more James finally turned on his heel and began to walk away while saying "Make a wise choice Remus! So you won't regret it:"
Remus knew one way or another he would regret it. The first that he would do something like that to Severus and the second that he would let such a good chance to pass by. And the mere thought his best friends would enjoy Severus by themselves without him and do to him God-knows-what angered him.
Jealousy boiled inside oh him. After a few minutes of thinking, he got up and left the Great Hall. Fully knowing his choice, and knowing he would not regret it!
'Either now, or never!' he thought to himself leaving the Great Hall completely and marching upstairs to his Common Room. A small smirk appeared on his scarred face, already have a few ideas about what he could tell his dorm-mates they could use/do/get on/for Severus.
Yes, this idea was very mischievous and damn evil in the logical mind's opinion, and even if it was Remus could care less. At the moment his mind was completely on the upcoming events, that he and the others (maybe along with Severus) they would enjoy.
