I don't own Harry Potter, Sweeney Todd, or Edward Scissorhands... unfortunately. I only own this specific plot. This was a Creative Writing Assignment, so I kind of wrote a crossover...
The dimly lit elevator was at a standstill and the three raven-haired men that occupied it were standing in separate corners as the elevator music played. "I do hope Toby gets around to fixing this blasted contraption soon," said Sweeney Todd, his gruff voice had an irritated tone to it. His eyes were locked on the peculiar man.
"I-It's rude to stare, sir." The nervous voice of Edward Scissorhands broke Mr. Todd's train of thought. Edward's sharp fingers clinked as he fidgeted them.
"I'm quite sorry, young man. It seems that I've forgotten my manners. Say, would you like to come to work for me once this machine kicks back up? You look…promising." His eyes drifted to the blades shining on the end of Edward's arms. "Yes," he said, his voice unintelligible, "those would be quite nice for our dear Judge Turpin." He sniffed the air and grimaced. "This place smells like-"
"Language, Mr. Todd." Severus Snape said harshly. "Muggles…They've no sense of civility."
"I wonder what Kim's doing right now," Edward said, thinking out loud.
Severus raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Kim? Is she your sister, perhaps?"
"Oh no, sir," Edward said with a dreamy look in his eyes. "I live with her and her family. She's so nice."
"A family…" Sweeney Todd's voice drifted off. "What I would give for my Johanna and Lucy."
Snape slumped against the wall of the elevator. "All I came here for was a bloody haircut, not a rubbish little chat about family and feelings." His voice sounded cold and annoyed.
"Kim's so much nicer than any other girl!" Edward said.
Something within Sweeney's mind snapped. He launched himself at the skinny young man as the elevator jolted back into action. "HOW DARE YOU!" He roared. As if by magic, a glimmering razor appeared in the man's hand. "Come, my friend! Your handle grows warm in my hand," he said as he extended the weapon. "How dare you put your insignificant little Kim above my beloved wife and child?"
Snape darted up behind the crazed barber and pulled him off of Edward. "Calm yourself, you idiot. You aren't the only one to lose those close to you." His eyes became distant and sad. "I lost my Lily. All I have left of her is her moron of a son. He can't even manage to brew a Pepperup Potion."
Sweeney's breathing slowed to a normal pace. He smoothed his hair back and looked at the Potion's Master. "Do pardon me. I forgot myself for a moment, there." He thought for a second. "I rather like you." The doors to the elevator opened. "How about a nice shave? It will be my treat."
Severus nodded. "Very well. I suppose that sounds rather nice," he said while stepping out of the elevator.
Something sinister flashed in Sweeney's eyes as he stepped out. "Oh good. Mrs. Lovett hasn't had teacher before," he said in a low voice, leaving a still startled Edward behind in the elevator.
