A/N: A Dickens/Harry Potter fic! Hooray! Another thing. Look at the title. A Christmas Peril. get it? Christmas Carol/ Christmas Peril? Get it? *Noticing that no one does get it, he decides to go on with the story*
********************************************************************************Legal Stuff: I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters or terms. This story is for entertainment purposes only. I do not intend to make a profit off it. (Isn't this stuff so boring? Now onto the story!)
********************************************************************************
It was Christmas eve. Snape looked at his clock. The time read 10:57 pm. Soon another Christmas would come and pass.
"Boo Rumbug!" said Snape, "I hate Christmas! All anyone does is go around and sing ANNOYING carols!" Grumbling to himself, Snape fell asleep.
****
"Woooooooo! Woo-oooo-oooo-ooooo!" a voice came in the dead of night. Snape woke in a start.
"What was that?" he asked.
"Its meeeeeeeeee....." said a ghost-like voice.
"Ummm..... Who is me?" asked Snape.
"I am meeeeeeee........" said the voice a s a shining figure stepped out from behind a curtain.
"Well, whoever you are, can you stop that annoying drawling?" said Snape.
"Oh, sorry," said the shining figure in a normal voice. Suddenly, the shining figure turned into a girl.
"What kind of being are you?" asked Snape.
"I'm a spirit," said the girl, "And a darn good one at that!"
"Well.... What's your name?" asked Snape.
"Well you're silly,"said the girl, "What makes you think spirits have names?"
"Sorry," said Snape, "I didn't know."
"By the way, it's Carly," said the girl.
"What is?" asked Snape.
"My name," answered the girl.
"I thought you said you didn't have a name," said Snape.
"I didn't say that," said the girl, "I only meant you should be more careful about asking someone's name before you know they have one."
"Oh," said Snape, "Thanks. And... ...why are you here?"
"I am the Spirit of Christmas Past," said Carly, "I am here to show you how you used to be."
"Oh, I see where this is going," said Snape, "You're going to grab me by the hand and we'll fly into the past, is that right?"
"Nope," said Carly, "Spirits Inc. has upgraded since that incident with Mr. Scrooge. We're into electronics now!" Carly pressed a button on a yellow remote and a 70 inch large screen TV rose from the floor.
"Cool!" exclaimed Snape, "Can I keep it?"
"Sure," said Carly, "We've got plenty of 'em!"
"Great!" yelled Snape.
"Now, onto what I came here for," said Carly. She pressed another button and a documentary started up on the screen. The announcer's voice came up.
"When Severus Snape was a little boy," it said, "He loved playing with the birds and animals in his back yard. He was a happy character who loved his mother and father. As he entered Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he found a new love, Lily Evans."
"You can't show that to the readers!" yelled Snape.
"Yes, I can," said Carly. The documentary went on.
"Lily broke away from Severus when she learned he had joined forces with He-Who-Should-Not-Be-Named."
A picture was shown of Lily hugging James Potter and Snape hugging Voldemort. Snape looked embarrassed.
"He he," he giggled embarrassedly, "Uh, where did you get that one from?"
"Spirits Inc. has their ways," said Carly. The documentary ended with a picture of Snape with devil horns.
"Now," said Carly, "To the moral. You've got to learn to be kind again, so someone will love you."
"And why is that important?" asked Snape angrily.
"If no one loves you, you won't get anything from anybody's will," said Carly, "And now I must go." A gust of wind blew out the light there was and Carly vanished.
"Okay... ...weird," said Snape as he flopped over and went to sleep again.
