~Chapter 3 The Third Day of Christmas~

Severus was happily brewing in his new cauldrons when a school owl fluttered down a mail shoot that led into his lab and landed on the table beside his cauldron with a letter in it's beak. "Of all the insufferable things to happen when I'm actually enjoying myself. Who in Merlins name is this from?" he grumbled as he ripped into the letter and read it angrily.

"Dear Professor Severus Snape,

You are invited to what the muggles call an ugly Christmas Sweater party. The party is to take place tomorrow in the great hall. All students, staff, and guests are encoraged to wear an ugly christmas sweater. If you do not have one, I will be happy to transfigure you one. Your attendence wearing a sweater is mandatory.

Sincerley,

Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts." Severus grumbled to himself and tossed the letter into the trash bin.

"The old man has cracked if he thinks that I'm wearing anything like that, or attending for that matter." said Severus to Angel as she looked at him with a funny expression in her silver eyes. "Don't look at me like that. I don't even own any ugly Christmas sweaters. The last time that I went to one of those parties was when I was thirteen at Malfoy Manor. I still can't believe that I let her talk me into going home with her and her brother." said Severus as he placed his potion into stasis and exited his lab for the night.

That night when he want to bed he drempt about ugley Christmas sweaters and parties with the Malfoy family.

~Dearm Sequence~

Severus sat alone in the common room wondering how he was going to get away from James Potter and the Marauders over the Christmas holidays when Angel Malfoy entered the common room and plopped down on the sofa beside him. "Hello, Severus, can I ask you a question?" she asked with a soft smile on her pink lips.

"Sure Angel, what's on your mind?" asked Severus as he looked into her silver eyes.

"My big brother and I are going home for Christmas break and my mother told me that I could invite one of my friends to spend the holiday with me at home. Would you like to come home with Lucius and I, and spend Christmas with us?" she asked with a hopeful look in her eyes.

"I don't know! Are you sure that it's alright with your family?" asked Severus nurvously.

"Severus if it weren't okay with our family my sister wouldn't have asked you to join us." said Lucius as he entered the common room and plopped down on the sofa on the other side of his sister and her friend.

"Besides, our parents always throw these boring parties and expect for us to attend. It would be nice if my little sister had a friend to make the party more fun for her." said Lucius thoughtfuly.

"Okay, as long as your parents won't mind, I guess I'll go home with the two of you." said Severus gibbing in. Angel smiled happily. As they left the school grounds for Hog's Made station James Potter, and his friends noticed .

"Hay, Snivelous, I didn't know that your parents wanted you for Christmas?" laughed Sirius Black.

"No, no, they don't want him for Christmas, that's why he's being sent to an orphanage this year." laughed James Potter.

"He's not going to any such place. It just so happens that he's a guest of my family for the holidays. Perhaps if you were more friendly, I would have invited you and your friends to come, as well. Oh wait aminute, I forgot no wearewolves allowed." snapped Lucius narrowing his eyes at the other boys.

At the Malfoy's home Severus awoke on the evening of Christmas eave to find a simply gastly black sweater with magicly moving reindeer prancing around it pulling father Christmas's bright red sleigh. He searched the room for something else to wear but was unable to find his shirts or sweaters. There was a knock at his door and he ripped it open to Lucius standing there wearing an equally gastly Christmas sweater with a dark blue background and magically dancing snowmen having a snowball fight .

"If I'm stuck wearing this, than you're going to wear that." said Lucius as he wrenched the sweater from Severus's hands and pulled it down over his head.

"No, please stop! I'm not wearing that." he screamed as Lucius wrestled him into the sweater.

"you both think that what you have to wear is bad? At least you're not a girl who is forced to wear this god's awful thing." said Angel as she stepped out of her room wearing a floor length sweater dress that was white with holly berries around the trim of the neck line, sleeves, and the bottom. with a green satin sash tied behind her back. Sticking out of her back was a set of feathery white wings and a golden sparkly hailo that floated above her head.

"Wow, Angel, you look like an Angel." laughed Lucius as he sank to his knees in laughter.

"Looks can be dicieving big brother." she said as she quickly stepped up to him and gave him a swift kick to his boy bits. Lucius's howels of laughter quickly turned into howels of pain as he grabbed his crotch and rolled on the ground in pain. Severus cringed in pain and covered his crotch protectively as he backed away from the angry witch.

The dream whent white and Severus could hear the woman's voice. "Severus Snape, Wake up now, please!"

~End Dream Sequence~

Severus woke up and looked around to find three of the ugliest Christmas sweaters folded neetly at the foot of his bed and a letter in Angel's beak. He took the letter and stroked Angel's head as he read over it.

"Dearest Severus Snape,

I am glad to see that you are enjoying the Tylenium Cauldrons and the Phoenix and the fig tree. I have heard that there is going to be an ugly sweater party tonight in the great hall of Hogwarts. Brings back memories doesn't it? I figured that you wouldn't have any ugly sweaters of your own, so I got you three of them to choose from. Wear them in good health and don't kick anyone in thier man bits if they are stupid enough to laugh at you, as I can assure you that they will be equally dressed to impress.

All my love,

Your Secret Admirer."

Severus folded the note and unfolded the sweaters one at a time to get a look at them. There was a red one that looked like would make it look like he was dressed like father Christmas. He scowled and tossed it into the chair on the other side of his room. "Honestly whoever sent this is simply mad. I'd never live down wearing something like that in a school full of students." he said to Angel the phoenix as she watched him.

He unfolde the next ugly Christmas sweater that looked like it was made out of the needles of a christmas tree. it had bobbles, and other decorations on it that if he had chosen to wear it would make him look like a christmas tree. "There's no way in Merlin's name that I'm wearing this one either." he growled as he tossed the green sweater on top of the red one accross the room.

The last sweater in the pile seemed more simple. It was white with red and green holly berries around the edges of the colar, sleeves, and the bottom hem. It reminede him of the sweater dress that Angel Malfoy had been forced into wearing all of those years ago, and he chuckled to himself as he pulled it on over his head and looked into the mirror at his reflection.

As he looked into the mirror he gasped as a pair of white angel's wings sprouted from teh back of the sweater and a sparkling golden hailo appeared over his head. He tried to rip the sweater off but it simply wouldn't budge. "Oh, this is simply wonderful. It figures that my secret admirer would enchant the cursed sweater to not come off. Perhaps, I'm better off just wearing it for the day. Maybe it will come off when I'm ready for bed tonight." said Severus as Angel flew around the room trilling happily.

As he entered the great hall later that night for the party he couldn't help singing another verse of the song that was stuck in his head. "On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me, three ugly sweaters, two tylenium cauldrons, and a phoenix and a fig tree."
