The Banned of Hogwarts

A/N: The song in this chapter is by The Remus Lupins

Chapter Four

It wasn't long before they had their third song on the way, working hard into the nights to make their mark on the hatred of the potions master. To the surprise of Beth and Kat, Becca had volunteered to work on some effects on their voices.

Becca had developed a magical way of editing the tone of a recorded voice by using her wand along a projection of a sound mixer. She made their voices lower, adding a slight growl, and finally they were able to add some more synthetic sounding instruments, something they had been wanting to do.

The lyrics came quite easily from things Becca had overheard Hermione, Harry and the youngest Weasley talking about in the common room. Apparently Harry had had a bad feeling about him since the welcoming feast, and Beth and Kat were forced to agree with the decision of the Gryffindor on this. Severus Snape was decidedly dodgy.

Got this bad feeling about Professor Snape
Always punishing Harry unnecessarily
It's like, how many fucked up things does he have to do
Before someone says, I don't trust this dude

Well you get what you deserve

Hey, Dumbledore
Can you read the writing on the wall
On a lightning struck tower
You can't delude yourself anymore
Hey, Dumbledore
Can you read the writing on the wall
On a lightning struck tower?
Cant delude yourself anymore
Wake up (wake up)
He's got the Dark Mark
Right there on his arm
Write it off to vocation,
It's all part of his charm
Well, he's a prick with power
And he's on Malfoys' side
Been saying it since the first one,
I DONT TRUST THIS GUY.

Albus why do you?
Albus why do you?
Albus why did you?

Hey, Dumbledore
Can you read the writing on the wall
On a lightning struck tower
You can't delude yourself anymore
Hey, Dumbledore
Can you read the writing on the wall
On a lightning struck tower
You can't delude yourself anymore

Imperious, Avada Kedavra
Imperious, Avada

Voldemort's a fuckface
Just as bad as Severus Snape
Voldemort's a fuckface

Stop Severus Snape
Stop Severus Snape

The whole school was in shock over the most recent song to have been released. Well, I say the whole school, but in reality, the girls had been smart enough to keep this release away from the rest of the Slytherins and the teachers. However, teachers like Sprout and McGonagall had a sparkle in their eyes, which led people to believe that they had heard the song. Luckily, it seemed like Snape hadn't heard the song yet.

Yet.

Friday. Potions with the Gryffindors and Slytherins, and Snape, as per usual, was in a bad mood. Once again, Neville had failed in creating his potion, and he was being given a hard time.

"Potter!" he snapped. "Why didn't you tell Longbottom not to do that utterly ridiculously pointless extra stir of his potion? I offer you only one condition to get out of the detention. You will hand over your copy of the new song." Beth and Kat quaked in their shoes. They were sure to be in so much trouble, and of course Harry would hand it over after what they had done to Hermione.

"No," said Harry quietly. Snape strode forward, his cloak flapping ominously. He peered into Harry's eyes. The class held their breath.

"No?" sneered Snape. Harry stood up.

"No," said Harry, more firmly. "I will not let you bully me," he looked at Beth and Kat, "or my friends." Snape stood up even taller.

"Fifty points from Gryffindor, Mr Potter." Becca gasped at the unfairness, and was about to say something when Beth clamped her hand over her mouth. The last thing they needed was any more attention being drawn towards them.

Tentatively, Neville pushed his tape across his and Harry's desk towards the potions master, who quickly snatched it up and inspected it.

"Class dismissed," he said, coldly.

As they left, they heard the opening lines drift through the doors.

"I hate him!" burst out Beth the second they got upstairs to the Great Hall. "He is literally the worst teacher ever." She followed Becca to the Gryffindor table. "I refuse to sit at a table over which Snape rules."

"Beth, come on," muttered Kat. "We don't want a reason for Snape to take any more points from Gryffindor." Beth pouted, and Becca wrapped an arm around her.

"She's right, you know," Becca said. To their surprise, they were joined by Hermione.

"Don't worry about it, guys. You all cheered up the rest of the school, and I don't think anyone will be forgetting that end bit any time soon." She patted Beth on the cheek. "Just so long as you don't record any more songs about me, I am totally fine." She smiled at them.

"Can you sing, Hermione?" asked Kat, suddenly. Hermione looked surprised. "Because I have an awesome song I can think of for you."

Hermione looked ecstatic to be involved in the Banned of Hogwarts, and she quickly agreed to recording a small song for them.

Kat and Beth headed back to their table, happy with the result of most of the day. Of course, the business with Harry Potter couldn't have been helped. Who could possibly know that Snape would be that horrid?

To their surprise, their walk was intercepted by Professor McGonagall looking fairly frantic.

"Girls, do you know anything about Potter not being able to play at the game next Saturday?" They exchanged a look, and nodded apprehensively.

"Snape gave him a three hour detention. It finishes exactly when the match starts." Beth bit her lip, and looked at McGonagall's face. She was sad, Severus was going out of his way to make sure that Harry couldn't help Gryffindor win the match. It was a low blow, even for the Slytherin.

"Well then, girls, I will have to use some of his pieces to beat him. Tell me, do you have any compositions in your repertoire suitable for Quidditch?"
