The Real Reason Snape's Hair Is Always Greasy
Fred and George Weasley were up to their usual pranks and random silliness, however today's plot was not going to be usual. The twins had never tried to pull a trick on a teacher before, and they wanted to see if they could get away with it, because that's the kind of boys that they were. Fred stopped Harry Potter in the hallway and patted him on the shoulder.
"Today will be grand," he said with a wide grin. Harry raised a thick, black eyebrow.
"Why?"
"You'll see, my boy, you'll see. Just meet me in the Potions basement after dark and I'll brief you on your duty," Fred answered humbly, still smiling like a maniac. Without another word, the redheaded boy walked off, whistling happily. Harry scratched the back of his head.
"Someone should make sure he never has any more caffeine...ever."
Professor Snape made his way quickly through the hallway, trying not to run into the students because they were icky and gross and carried student-like germs. He frowned deeply as he laid his eyes upon the Weasley twins, who were looking even more cheerful than normal, if it were even possible. George and Fred called out in unison to him.
"Wonderful day, isn't it, Professor?" they cried. Snape scoffed and ducked into a classroom to escape their happiness. He hated happiness. To his horror, Fred and George were staring back at him and waving.
"How did you get in here so fast?" he screamed.
"We're sneaky like that!" they exclaimed. Snape squealed like a greasy pig and fled back into the hallway. Every single student was a Fred and George Weasley.
"They're playing with my mind...that's it...yes!" Snape muttered, his left eye twitching slightly. Suddenly, a random Fred leapt onto his shoulders, laughing.
"Piggy back ride!" the Fred hollered. Snape tried to throw him off, but a George held him by the legs and refused to let go. Another George donned a large, gray pail filled to the top with water. Snape fought even harder at the sight of it.
"No! Not water! No! Don't!"
But the George threw it at him, completely drenching his robes and hair. Without warning, Snape began to scream. The Fred and the George let go of him. Snape was getting smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller...
"I'm melting...I'm melting..." he cried in a tiny, helium-like voice. "I'm melting...you stupid kids...I'm melting..."
And then he was gone.
Harry, Hermione, and Ron took off their Fred and George costumes as the real Fred and George came up to them. "Wow, we nailed him good!" they beamed.
"Yeah, but...he's gone," Hermione said softly, poking at Snape's robes, which were still slight smoking.
"That's the whole point!" Fred exclaimed.
"It was cool," Harry said, his eyes rather wide his disbelief.
"Yup," Ron agreed. "Who would've thought that he melted when exposed to water?"
"Explains a lot," George stated, smiling. The five of them started laughing, unaware that the other students were staring at them.
