The Squid Ate my Slipper

OoOoOoOo

“Albus, you wanted to see me?” Remus asked; he had just finished packing his things preparing to leave Hogwarts before all the owls started to arrive demanding he be fired.

He was very angry with Severus for letting his secret slip. He had thought much better of his sub than to throw such a fit and act out in such a manner. Sure Severus had been known for his thoughtlessness and he knew the man hadn’t intentionally meant to hurt him; none the less he had taken care of the matter. Severus had nearly started to cry when Remus had told him that he would not be allowed to do any recreational brewing the entire summer.

Flashback

Severus looked at the floor feeling so very guilty as Remus paced before him.

“I cannot believe you would be so thoughtless as to let my secret slip Severus.” Remus said his voice dripping in disappointment.

Severus was absolutely terrified that this was the end of their relationship; he had done something so horrid he was sure Remus would never forgive him.

“I, I am sorry Sir I didn’t mean to let it slip I was just so frustrated with you about what happened at the shack and I wasn’t thinking. I didn’t mean to hurt you really.” Severus said in a rush

No one but Remus (except maybe Albus) ever saw this side of Severus, the unguarded uncertain man that wanted to be loved.

“I know you didn’t, however when you love someone you must be careful of doing such things as it does not show that you love them at all.” Remus told him.

Severus’ feet shuffled his head hung.

“I am sorry Remus, I… I shant bother you again.” Severus said before heading for the door.

His head shot up to look at Remus as he felt his arm wrap around his bicep and pull him back.

“No Love you misunderstand me, I am not breaking up with you, I know it was a naught but a thoughtless mistake and you are often prone to those but I love you and I know you love me and I will not lose you over it. You are far more important than my job here. However this will not go without punishment; I think a grounding is in order, no recreational brewing the entire summer, you will not be allowed in your lab without me there and then only to brew what is absolutely necessary.” Remus decreed.

Even as relief washed over his face at the knowledge that he wouldn’t lose Remus, a sadness and defiance had settled there as well over the punishment.

“But Remus that is nearly three months, please, cant, cant you just erm… spank me?” Severus asked.

Remus nearly chuckled, Severus usually fought tooth and nail to get out of a spanking and here he was asking for one. However Remus was very aware that he hated losing brewing privileges even more and would prefer a spanking as it was over with quickly and all was forgiven and forgotten but Remus knew that and for such a big offence it had to be a severe punishment so he stood firmly shaking his head.

“I should spank you as well.” Remus said and Severus’ eyes opened wide. “But I won’t I think the grounding is sufficient.” He told Severus who simply sighed sadly looking as if he was going to cry.

“Please Remus…” Severus looked up with wide pleading tear filled eyes and it was all Remus could do not to just pull him into a hug and forgive him and allow the punishment to slide but that wasn’t what Severus needed him to do so he dug in his heals.

“I’m sorry the punishment stands.” He said sternly but then he did pull Severus into a tight hug.

Severus sighed and leaned into the hug, he had made a mistake but was still loved, he was not thrilled about his punishment but at least he would not lose Remus. He was just glad Remus didn’t know about the other fit he threw when Black escaped, he was sure he would be getting a bottom blistering on top of the grounding if Remus knew about that.

End Flashback

“Yes, yes my boy please take a seat.” The headmaster said gesturing with his hand to the chair in front of his desk.

Remus sat down and looked at Dumbledore expectantly.

“First I want to let you know that you need not leave, I have spoken to the ministry and needless to say I have a few favors coming to me, the children that had been told have been obliviated as well as the parents it had managed to leak out to. Fudge seems to think

keeping me on his good side is important and when I told him I refused to lose the best Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Hogwarts had seen in many years he, eventually came around to my line of thinking.” Dumbledore said and Remus was sure there had been some well placed threats on the headmaster’s part to pulls off such a thing.

“Sir you did not need to do that for me I assure you but I appreciate it none the less, thank you.” Remus said and he couldn’t help a small smile, he would be able to keep his job and he was sure the guilt that had been following Severus around would be diminished by the news as well though Remus had no intention of giving the man reprieve from his punishment.

“My pleasure my boy, you are a great man and a great teacher and I decided to hire you because of that. It will be my decision if you should ever be let go, not the decision of the ministry or parents who are needlessly worried. I will not have my hand forced and I will not lose you over such foolish prejudices.” Dumbledore told him.

Remus felt a wash of pride at the headmaster’s words and he smiled widely at the man.

“Well if that is all headmaster I have some unpacking to do as well as some preparations to make for my last few lessons of the year.” Remus said making to rise from the chair.

“I am afraid not Remus, I would also like to talk to you about Severus.” Dumbledore said sadly, he was one of the very few that knew about the discipline relationship between the two men and though he didn’t often tell Remus of Severus’ behavior there was an odd time here and there when the older wizard felt his potion master had gone too far and brought it to Remus’ attention.

“Oh? What about Severus?” Remus asked.

If Dumbledore was coming to him about Severus’ behavior it must have been something very bad indeed.

“Well, I shall show it, much easier that way I think.” Dumbledore said rolling his pensieve over from the corner of the room he placed his wand to his temple and withdrew a silver strand of memory.

Remus leaned over the pensive and found himself watching a screaming match, Severus throwing a spectacular fit, one befitting a two year old that had been told he would not be allowed a candy bar at the grocery check out.

Oh how he had carried on about Sirius Black’s escape even though he had been told of the man’s innocence, he still threw a class A fit about his escape despite knowing he would face the dementors kiss if he had not been freed. Really, Remus had thought Severus was better then allowing an innocent man face Azkaban again all over an order of Merlin, even if that man was one Severus particularly despised. It was apparent Severus had been allowed to slip to long.

Coming out of the memory Remus shook his head sadly; he had not been as on top of his sub’s behavior as he should have been the last few months what with teaching and all and it was apparent that the brat had taken over as a result. Well Remus would remedy that as soon as possible that was for sure and Severus would be teaching the last classes of the term standing up.

“I am very sorry Headmaster I really thought I had taught Severus to mind his manors and hold his temper better than that. I will take care of him I assure you.” Remus told Albus.

“You always do my boy, you always do.” Albus said eyes twinkling. The one thing he loved Remus for more than anything was the fact that he took such care of Severus, Severus who Albus thought of as a son and the fact that Remus took such good care of him meant the world to the old wizard.

OoOoOoOo

Remus walked into the chambers that he shared with Severus. The potions master was sitting on the couch sulking before the fire pretending to read the latest potions weekly. He wanted to work on a new potion he had been experimenting with but Remus had locked him out of his own personal potions lab telling him his grounding had already started.

Severus looked up when he heard Remus enter, he shot the man a slight pout, he was very unhappy about his punishment and was not afraid to show his Dom that. However he immediately sucked his bottom lip back in and gulped when he saw the angry look in the man’s amber eyes.

“You have something you wish to confess to me?” Remus asked as he walked to stand in front of Severus.

“I didn’t do anything.” Severus said reflexively, besides he really could not think of anything he had done since he had been grounded to get in trouble.

Remus had to fight to keep the amusement out of his voice; no one would believe how child-like his Severus became when faced with being in trouble with him.

“Oh no? I talked with Albus today; he showed me a rather interesting memory of you in the hospital wing the night Sirius escaped again.” Remus said fixing the now fidgeting man with a glare.

“I um, I was just, stressed out about you being out as the werewolf without the potion...” Severus tried.

“Oh no young man you do not use me as an excuse for you naughtiness!” Remus scolded.

Severus’ only response was to drop his gaze to the floor.

“It is my fault really, I have been so caught up in teaching I have let your behavior go and it has been getting progressively worse, if I had spanked you after that fit you had over Harry’s parchment insulting you I am sure you would not have gotten so out of hand.” Remus said ruefully.

Severus squirmed a bit.

“Then maybe you are the one that needs to be spanked.” He mumbled under his breath.

However Remus had no problem picking it up with his werewolf hearing and it was the straw that broke the hippogriffs back. Reaching out Remus pulled Severus up and marched him to the corner swatting his bottom hard the entire way.

Severus yelped arching his back in an attempt to get his bottom away from the swats as he was marched over to the corner. In retrospect he probably should not have said that, he should really stop allowing his mouth to write checks his arse didn’t want to have to cash.

“That is enough Severus, maybe a half hour in the corner will teach you to mind that mouth of yours and then I think, the slipper, now do not move and do not talk just think about your naughty behavior as of late. Honestly Severus you have been throwing tantrums befitting a toddler not a grown man, a professor and potions master at that.” Remus scolded and landed one last swat to Severus’ bottom.

Severus yelped; the swat was so hard it sent him up on his toes. He looked back at Remus with tear filled eyes; he had not meant to make him so angry.

“Turn around Severus, and face the corner.” Remus demanded and it took all of his resolve to ignore the pleading tear filled obsidian eyes of his brat.

Severus turned around and leaned his head on the cool stone of the angle where wall met wall.

Remus took in a deep breath and went in search of the slipper. He had not used it in a while which he supposed was his number one mistake, and he wasn’t really sure where it was. He wouldn’t put it past Severus to have hidden it, his brat really despised the slipper, and it was something that Remus did not quite understand. He knew the brush and belt and many other implements hurt far worse than the slipper, but for whatever reason Severus loathed the slipper more than anything.

In fact when Remus could not find the slipper in its normal home with the paddle, strap and cane in the closet, under the bed or in the bedside drawer he was certain Severus had done something to it.

Storming from the bedroom Remus walked over to where Severus was in the corner.

“I want to know what you did with the slipper and I want to know right now.” He said in a low, dangerous growl.

Severus gulped audibly and fidgeted a bit.

“I… um…” Severus bit his bottom lip.

How was he going to tell Remus he had tossed the thing into the black lake for the giant squid after the last time he had used it? Looking back on that now it had not been a very good idea, but he had been angry about a spanking he didn’t think he deserved, Longbottom had melted another cauldron, he thought he was well within his rights to dock twenty points, call the kid a dunderhead and give him a week’s detention with Filch, Remus had thought he was being abusive and taken the slipper to his bare bottom till he couldn’t sit for what had felt like days.

“Severus…” Remus said warningly.

“I may have accidently given it to the giant squid as a chew toy…” Severus said barely above a whisper.

“YOU WHAT?” Remus had to take a deep breath to keep from turning Severus over right then and there and wailing at his arse.

“I was… I was angry when you spanked me with it because of the punishment I gave Neville, I wasn’t thinking.” Severus explained nervously.

“So it was another tantrum!” Remus exclaimed.

Severus chewed on his lip nervously, he had no way to defend himself on that one; it had indeed been another tantrum.

“That earned you another slippering tomorrow night and maybe even one the night after, this behavior has got to stop little boy.” Remus told him.

Severus spun around to look at Remus with wide pleading eyes.

“No Remus please!” Severus begged.

“It is not up for debate Severus I am very disappointed in you.”

Severus hated that word, hated it more than any other word in the English language and large fat salty tears started spilling over the corners of his eyes and rolling down his cheeks.

“Strip.” Remus ordered as he walked over and grabbed a paper weight from the desk.

Severus reluctantly started to strip, Remus only made him strip when he was very angry, he felt that the added embarrassment of total nudity helped import the lesson.

When he finally stood there naked his head bowed Remus brought the paper weight over to him grabbing Severus’ wand he handed it to him.

“Transfigure this into a slipper.” Remus demanded.

Severus let more tears fall from his eyes, well he didn’t actually let them there was naught he could do to stop them but they did get heavier when the order was issued. Severus knew it would be very easy for Remus to transfigure the paper weight. In fact, Remus was far better at transfiguration then Severus was, but Remus was really going for the emotional aspect of punishment, knowing it would be very hard for Severus to transfigure the implement of his own doom especially one he hated so much.

Severus moved a bit from foot to foot taking his wand from Remus. Waving it just the right way and saying just the right words and the paper weight was transformed into a slipper identical to the one he had fed the squid.

“Good now give it to me.” Remus demanded holding his hand out.

Severus picked up the slipper nearly tossing it into Remus’ outstretched hand.

Remus took Severus’ hand gently in his own, he may have been angry but he still loved the man, and he gently led him around the couch. Sitting down he placed Severus over his lap, bare bottom high in the air.

Severus stiffened a bit before feeling Remus’ hand rubbing circles in his back.

“Calm down Severus tensing up will only make it hurt more.” Remus ordered softly.

“Good boy.” He says when he feels Severus relax.

Taking a deep breath Remus brings the slipper down hard on the fullest part of the pale bottom before him eliciting a yelp from the man over his lap.

Oh how Severus hated the slipper though he wasn’t completely sure why he hated this particular implement more than the others; he just did and when it started to rain down heavy stinging swats on his helpless bottom he couldn’t help but bite at his bottom lip to keep further yipes at bay.

Setting into a steady rhythm Remus went about turning Severus’ bottom a dusty pink and then a rosy red. Severus for his part tried to remain stoic but found his stoicism was being beaten out via his backside and soon he was yelping wriggling and kicking with every new swat on his sore bum.

“OWWW Remus stop please I’m sorry!” Severus begged; his bottom on fire after the fifth circuit with the slipper.

Remus lifted his right leg lowering his left as he swats the sit spots hard.

“You” SWAT “know better” SWAT “than to” SWAT SWAT “throw such” SWAT “tantrums.” Remus scolds.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Severus cries out tears rolling down his cheeks.

Remus did his best to ignore the pleas that tore at his heart bringing the slipper down on each thigh twice and then five more times on the sit-spot before stopping.

Severus sobbed hard over Remus lap; he almost didn’t realize that the spanking had stopped and that Remus was now rubbing soothing circles in his back.

Severus took in a deep breath and attempted to calm. When Remus heard his breathing even out he lifted the other man up and sat him in his lap with the sore red hot bottom cradled between his spread thighs.

“I am sorry.” Severus sniffled.

“I know love, all forgiven, however you will still have your slippering tomorrow; maybe if you behave I won’t slipper you the day after that as well.” Remus said.

Severus considered throwing a tantrum, but then eyeing the slipper sitting next to Remus on the couch, thought better of it, perhaps he was learning after all.
