The students and teachers at Hogwart's liked Christmas a lot
but one man who lived down in the dungeons did not
Severus Snape hated Christmas the whole Christmas season
Know one knew why, even Dumbledore didn't know the reason
It could be he brewed one potion to many
It could be his mother and father never bothered to spare a penny
I think the most likely reason of all
Is the tears for Evans he never allowed to fall
But,
Whatever the reason,
an unspent penny, or tears that were neve allowed to fall
He paced the dungeons Christmas eve, muttering "bugger you all."
He stared up at the ceiling listening to the sound of happy footsteps overhead
Knowing eager students were making their way to their beds
Even his Slytherin's lacked dignity as they went down to their crypt beneath
He used his skills in legilimens to find they even had stolen a wreath
"The house elves even hung up stockings!" he muttered with his signature sneer
"Tomorrow is Christmas. How stupid! How queer!"
Then he steepled his fingers with an eyebrow raised
"I must stop this now this Christmas craze!"
For in the morning he knew...
All the Gryffindor girls and boys
Would open up all kinds of obnoxious new toys.
And then! Oh, the noise! Oh, the noise! Noise! Noise! Noise!
That's one thing he hated! The NOISE! NOISE! NOISE! NOISE!
They would go to the great hall and eat an elaborate feast
They would start with breakfast, and move to roast beef
Which was something Snape couldn't stand in the least
Then they would do something he liked least of all
Every student in Hogwarts, every single one in the great hall
Would stand close together, with Christmas bells ringing.
They'd stand hand in hand and Dumbledore would urge them to start singing.
They'd sing! And they'd sing!
AND they'd SING! SING! SING! SING!
The more Snape thought of the Hogwarts house sing.
The more Snape though "I must stop this whole thing"
"I put up with it my whole teaching career"
"I have to stop this right now right here!"
But how...
Then he got an idea!
An awful idea!
The potions master
GOT A WONDERFUL, AWFUL IDEA!
"I know just what to do" He bellowed one name that made most shudder
The name was that of the Polterigest Peeves
He let out a laugh as dry as Autumn's last leaf
He laughed and he laughed nearly going into hysterics "Wait till I tell him wait till he hears!"
"Nearly headless Nick will have nightmares. This will put light to all their fears!"
"I need from you Peeves just one simple thing."
"Distract Ms. Noris and caretaker Filch."
Peeves saluted "That should be no problem their score is naughta, zero, ZILCH"
He put a finger to his chin thinking of one simple problem.
"What to do with that menacing trio"
"Surely Granger, Potter, and Weasley will try to play hero"
