HP Friendship

Author: nathaniel_hp
Prompt/Prompt Author: #49: When Remus Lupin arrives at Hogwarts as a professor, among the many astounding things he learns is the fact that Snape's best (maybe only) friend on the staff is none other than Irma Pince, librarian. (Even if we see things from Remus's pov [which is up to you to do or not do as you please], the focus should be on the Pince, Snape relationship.)

Author's Notes: Massive thanks to my beta who stepped in at very short notice and without whom this story wouldn't be what it is. Also, thank you to the wonderful mods for this great fest and for their unwavering patience.
kelly_chambliss, I hope I am doing your prompt justice. It is such a wonderful prompt, and I am afraid that I didn't manage to give the story the attention it deserves. I hope you enjoy this little offering nonetheless.
Dedicated to all the wonderful librarians around the world :)

Rating: PG
Warnings: None.
Word Count: 2.076
Summary: One can’t always remain invisible.
Author's Notes: I’ve always had a thing for Marauder’s Era fic, so I thought I’d give it a try this time. I listened to ”Comptine d'un autre été : L'après-midi” by Yann Tiersen while writing and I think it suits the mood of the fic very much. Thanks to L for the great beta-work and for helping me all the way, and the mods for the great support. I hope you like reading it as much as I liked writing it, Realmer06. :D
