Severus Snape and the Mysterious Singing Potion

Chapter One

Professor Snape entered his office for the second time that evening after chasing down a couple of Gryffindors for attempting to Dungbomb his office. Snape sat back down at his desk, grumbling. He resumed perusing his papers and reached out to take a drink from his goblet.

"Hmm…what is that mysterious flavor…"Snape mused aloud. "Rather…tasty." He took another drink to try and discover what it was. He didn't remember adding anything to his drink. Unless…when he went to take care of the two pranksters, another student ran in and put something in his drink. But it was too late to do anything now. Oddly enough, he felt a song coming on. "Bum bum bum-bum bum bum. Bum bum bum-bum bum bum. "

Snape snapped his mouth shut. Had he, Severus Snape, just burst into song? Snape opened his mouth and what came out was definitely not what should have. "The hills are alive...with the sound of music. With songs they have sung…for a thousand years." That was most definitely not what he had meant to say. He had wanted to grumble about his revenge by giving the pair and their other partner a lifelong amount of detention but instead more song! Whatever was put in his drink must have been designed to make him sing anytime he opened his mouth.

Wonderful, he thought. But I can fix this. I'm the potions master. I can find or create an antidote and be back to my normal self in next to no time. Snape walked over to a bookshelf full of potions books and pulled one off at random. "Hmmmm…" Snape scanned the page, looking for something about singing potions. Nothing, he thought. Now that he thought about it, he had never read anything about singing potions that he remembered.

Snape sighed and snapped the book shut with a loud pop and put it back on the shelf. He opened his mouth, not quite accustomed to the singing and sang, "Pretty women! Blowing out their candles or combing out their hair, even when they leave they still are there. They're still there " Did he just sing about Pretty Women? Severus Snape did not sing about pretty woman.

There was a knock at the door. Severus looked at the door and rushed over to his desk and sat down, acting like he was working. "Enter" He sang. Snape winced hoping the person on the other side didn't notice. The door opened and in walked Minerva McGonagall. She looked confused and slightly ruffled.

"Severus, did I just here…well this'll sound silly…but did I just hear singing in here?" Minerva asked sounding slightly confused.

Snape continued to pretend he was looking at paper work and shook his head no. "Are you sure?" Minerva asked again. Snape shook his head again.

"Because it's perfectly fine if you were. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't hearing things. " Snape shook his head once more. He was beginning to get frustrated. "Severus, why aren't you actually talking?"

Snape growled and said, "Think of me, think of me fondly when we've said goodbye. Remember me once in awhile; please promise me, you'll try." Snape's eyes grew wide when he realized his outburst. He looked up and Minerva and saw that she was staring wide eyed at him. They remained that way, starring at each other, for several minutes when Minerva finally cleared her throat and said, "Well…I believe that it's time I go on up to bed. Good Night Severus."

Snape started to open his mouth to reply but then shut it hastily and simply nodded. Snape looked up and sighed. God help the student who did this because when he got a hold of them he was sure he would commit murder, Muggle style. But until then, life was going to be hell.
