Disclaimer: I do not own The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens nor do I own Harry Potter characters, setting, and everything else. They belong to the honorable JK Rowling and Scholastic.maybe Warner Brothers too..

A/N: I'm going to need a Tiny Tim. but I can't think of one. so far my ideas are Neville (he's the pathetic figure.), Draco ("God Bless us Everyone..especially me!"), and Ginny (pathetic figure.. no one knows how Snape treats her.and I can see her going "God Bless us Everyone.(and dear lord help Harry and I get together!)")

Scleleratus Snape was dead to begin with.

His son, Severus Snape, was potions master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was cold, dark, and cruel. His name fit him. The dungeons were he worked fit him. Anything gloomy and depressing fit him.

One would think the month of December, with it's freezing temperatures and early nightfall, would fit him as well. but it didn't. Snape hated December and most of all the holiday hosted by it - Christmas. Anyone who dared to wish Snape a 'Happy Christmas' was sure to get a curt "Bah Humbug!" and if they weren't in Slytherin a very low finals grade.

Soon people accepted the fact that _their_ Christmas cheer would freeze at any attempt to spread it onto the greasy-haired potions master. They began avoiding him when ever possible. That was how Snape liked it.

But our dear Snapey-poo had another thought coming if he believed that he would always be that way. Let me take you back to a Christmas in Harry Potter and his friends 5th year at Hogwarts.. Voldemort has risen and Lupin is once again the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.. and all the students are forced to stay at the school during Christmas break for their safety. This is where my story begins.
