Of all the stupid, childish, witty schemes that Severus had forced him to participate in over the years, this was by far the most ridiculous.
No more ridiculous than forcing Severus Snape to attend Harry Potter’s Halloween Party and expecting to get away with it, Remus reminded himself.
Polyjuice made Halloween undoubtedly simpler, but it was making Remus’s undoubtedly harder.
When Severus, red hair cascading down his back, opened the door to the bathroom, Remus stopped listing all the ways that this was about to go wrong and just decided to be happy that he didn’t have to be Lily.

“Oh Merlin!” Harry exclaimed when he saw them. “Mum, Dad!” he continued jovially.
“It was his idea, Harry,” Remus, or rather, James, added, feeling the knot in his stomach start to untangle.
“Of course it was,” Harry replied, grinning at Severus, or rather, Lily. “I always thought that no one was more suitable for my Remus than you, Severus.”
“Then we’ll both go home and shag each other silly,” Severus finished his prediction as they stood on the doorstep.
Remus stared at him. “That is definitely not what’s going to happen.”
“Unfortunately,” Severus sighed, just as Harry opened the door.

If Severus tried to count the number of times he had walked into a room to be greeted with awkward, disapproving silence, he wouldn’t have been able to.
But he’d grown used to it, and that was why Lily’s pretty little mouth twisted into a silly little sneer as everyone turned to stare.
The youngest Weasley froze, mouth open wide.
“What- what are you thinking?” Harry bellowed. “Snape! Which one are you? Goddammit, Snape!”
Lily’s face twisted to an expression of supreme satisfaction, and then to one of shock.
Remus supposed that Severus hadn’t expected Harry to be so physical.

“It would appear to be time for us to fuck each other silly,” Severus suggested.
Remus glanced at the clock. “Well, seeing as, thanks to you, we have a full forty-five minutes left until the Polyjuice wears off, and even then I don’t fancy fucking you while your eye is swollen shut, I don’t think that we’ll be getting to ‘fuck each other silly’ tonight.”
“If Potter didn’t have such poor self-control-”
“If you weren’t such a vindictive bastard-”
“I’m not-”
“Shut up, Severus.”
“Very well. But I’m-”
Remus tried to fall asleep, but Lily’s nagging voice was too annoying.
