Severus Snape was giggling as he walked around in the corridor. A third year student watched his potion professor with startled brown eyes. He had never heard Severus Snape giggling before and even less, laugh, which Severus began to do now. He idly wondered if the usually strict professor had been affected by a potion of some sort, but decided that he'd better stay away from the Profesor which seemed to have gone mad. Who knew what Snape could do in this condition?
Severus continued his ungraceful walk until he reached the great hall where every seventh and sixth year student was gathered. Every professor of Hogwarts sat down at the teacher table and waited for his arrival. He was slightly late, but it wasn't easy to walk around, laughing. His stomach ached but he couldn't seem to stop.
Severus saw Harry Potter and began to giggle again. Harry glared at him with angry green eyes and Severus laughed out loud at that. He went to the teacher table and sat down in his usual seat.
His colleagues watched him funny but they didn't say anything.
Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, stood up. Severus wanted to hate the man, since he was the cause of his current madness, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. The man meant too much for him to do that.
The whole hall went silent.
Albus cleared his throat before he spoke. "The reason for our meeting here today is about the upcoming ball for sixth and seventh years only." The headmaster lost track sligtly when Severus laughed again. Dumbledore looked at him before he quickly pulled himself together; something Severus Snape didn't do.
"And, ahem, we, the professors are going to dance with you, the students," Albus continued and tried to ignore Snape. Severus began to laugh like mad and doubled over in his chair. It almost sounded like he was crying, instead of laughing.
"...And Professor Snape drew the shortest stick among us, which will make him stand for the entertainment and sing."
Severus was howling in laugher and tears spilled down his cheeks. He was hardly getting any air to his lungs and was paleing and his lips began to look slightly blueish. Hogwarts couldn't affort hireing any band this year, so the Professors had to take it upon themselves to make the ball work, and since neither one of them wanted to embaress themselves they had to make a lottery out of it. Snape had lost, and it drove him mad.
"Poppy, dear. Please give him a calming potion," said Albus concerned.
"HA ha ha, Me, aha ha ha, sing... AHAHAHAHAHA... ha!" Severus fainted.
"Poor man, the chock was too big!" said Albus but his eyes were twinkling of withhold laugher.
