A Day in the Life of the Wizarding World
My plot bunny – whom I affectionately named Mushroom – overtook my mind with the wonder that is how Snape manages to make his robes 'billow' without the aid of wind.
Mushroom later decided that this memorable day had to be recorded and the things that many other significant people did that day.
Oh and I also might make this into a two-shot involving the twenty year anniversary of the memorable day!
I also had the most shuddering mental images whilst watching Order of the Phoenix – In the scene where Harry gets taught Occlumency imagine Snape really appearing in the Mirror of Erised!
Also I would like to add that if you bothered to read this far then my ramblings will last no further.
TWANG!
The middle of December was cold and wet so Wizard and Muggles alike had retreated indoors.
In a dark, evil and possibly damp place Lord Voldemort sat in his lair covered in excessive green décor, whilst stroking his pet snake, Nagini, consumed in thought over whether He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did or did not have enough hyphens.
Personally he thought that The-Great-And-Most-Powerful-And-Extremely-Undefeatable-Dark-Lord-With-The-Longest-And-Most-Hyphenated-Name-In-The-Wizarding-World would make his daily article in the 'Daily Prophet' just a tad bit longer and publicise his power more. It also had twenty hyphens.
Meanwhile, far across the country, in an unknown location in Scotland, Headmaster Professor Albus Dumbledore, the Greatest Wizard of all time, sat humming along to his pet phoenix Fawkes merry trills whilst his blue eyes twinkled merrily behind his half-moon spectacles.
As the day grew on and the Supreme Mugwump twiddled his thumbs as his auburn hair turned greyer and frustrated students kicked the Gargoyle guarding his private quarters after trying and failing to guess the password.
Somewhere in Wales, that Lovegood guy attempted in his quest to prove the existence of Crumple Horned Snorcacks, his mission proved faulty.
Meanwhile, back in Scotland, at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Moaning Myrtle depressed the female population with shrieks about death and U-bends, and depressed Pringle as the Second Floor Corridor flooded with water.
Also in Hogwarts, the fifth year Hufflepuff student Gilderoy Lockhart attempted to hand out signed photographs whilst reading 'Witch Weekly' and proclaiming that he should be honoured the 'Most Charming Smile Award'.
In another part of the muggle repelling castle the four Marauders, James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and… that podgy guy… were planning some pranks to play on their beloved target Severus 'Snivellus' Snape.
Lily Evans stormed over and began shrieking in a tone which could make even Moaning Myrtle proud before cursing the four boys' hair pink.
Down in the dungeons, underneath the lake, behind a hidden wall the Slytherins sat in their common room quietly, glaring at anyone who dared move.
In his room, Severus Snape stood opposite his mirror walking forward and swaying his hips in an attempt to make his robes 'billow'. He thought this look may be more intimidating.
As he practised and perfected the billowing of his robes the door opened soundlessly and Mulciber and Avery stood gaping as Snape turned around his oddly white face a blotchy red.
"What are you doing?" Avery said with a look of plain horror etched on his face.
"Perfecting my billowing" Snape sneered before turning around, robes billowing behind him.
Mushroom is in need of her raw potatoes!
