Severus and Judas existed on one another’s peripheries for six years, before a spread of prank-related maladies caused them to be paired up in potions class by sheer dumb luck. The two hit it off surprisingly well and afterward began to work together in other classes. 

Severus – who had a notorious habit of skipping potions class because he had already completed and modified most of the potions on the curriculum – began etching his modifications into his text book for Judas and, as their friendship continued, spells as well. Indeed, it is Judas we have to thank for the fact Severus’ old textbook was in the school cupboard for Harry to find twenty years later, as he forgot it on the last day of revisions and Severus never bothered to ask where it had gotten to.

Judas, for his part, was a savant with poisons and had quite an exceptional skill with herbology, which permitted him an edge when he came to work for DoIS. Firmly neutral during the course of the First Wizarding War, he provided Severus with patents and poisons when necessary during the second one. Be it for Order or Death Eater business – Judas never asked, and very carefully didn’t care.

The two remain, for better or worse, amiable allies.
