The Halls Ring With Music

by ComeLikeShadows

Professor McGonagall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry sat in her classroom and boldly stared her greatest foe in the face.

Her foe? Gum.

She glared, her eyes crinkling into thin slits, with a flare she pulled her spatula and set about attacking the fiend. Singing as she did so.

"Tú tienes chicle? (Chicle! Chicle!)

Do you hear that popping?

That insistent chomping?

That sounds diving me insane!

It's frying my brain!

It's…

In my hair!

On the chair!

Under my shoe!

They even shoved it down the loo!

It's making me crazy!

Every things getting a little … hazy.

They all think I need surgery...

How about a lobotomy!

?Tú tienes chicle? CHICLE EN LA BASURA!!!"

Hermione Granger slowly closed the door and scuttled down the hallway at an even slower pace, her questions on the Transfigurative Qualities of a Norwegian Blue Parrot and the Arithmatic Ratio of a French to English Sheep Plane forgotten.

Some times, she realized, the professors in Hogwarts could be pretty weird.

Disclaimer: I do not own Hermione Granger, Professor McGonogall, the Norwegian Blue or the Sheep Plane. The ...thing she sings, however, is MINE.
