Chapter V: Dumbledore's Unusual Punishment
Dumbledore looked between the two boys, his face grim. James was applying an ice pack to his jaw after taking a much needed potion for his jaw, his neck wrapped in thin gaze to treat the wounds, his brown eyes angry but playful none the less, a slight triumphant smirk playing on his lips as he shot a heated glance at Snape.
He only snarled back, his coal eyes blazing with deep hatred, as he too, held on ice pack to his face, covering his right eye that now sported an ugly black ring. Dumbledore had saw too it that he was cured of all the hexes he was under, not bothering at that moment to ask exactly WHY he looked the way he did.
He stared at the pair and shook his head.
"I am very disappointed in both of you," he began in a low voice that seemed to say 'shame on you'. "You both have the potential to be my head boys and yet you act as though you are still in your second year. I would have thought that you would have matured by now."
"Well some of us do, headmaster," Snape spat, sending James another heated glare. James snorted. "Yeah, like some of us wash our hair Snivillus, that doesn't mean-"
"You'll get enough of calling me 'Snivillus' Potter!"
"Fine, want me to call you something worse? Cause I got a few..."
"Quite!" Dumbledore shouted in annoyance, ending the two boy's argument. He rubbed the bridge between his eyes, removing his half mooned spectacles and the room was silent for a moment.
"You both know well that fighting is not allowed in Hogwarts," he stated finally. "And you both should know by now what punishment it carries."
James opened his mouth in protest but Snape beat him to it. "But Headmaster! James started the entire conflict with those immature little pranks of his! You saw what he DID! I had ever right to retaliate!"
"Yeah, well, so I played a little prank on you, that was still no reason to foam at the mouth and attack like some rabid dog, especially when you looked THAT indecent!" James spat back. "I mean really! I thought you were trying to sexually assault me and in front of all those people..."
"You were just jealous because I was asking Lily Evans to the dance!" Snape accused, no longer speaking to Dumbledore, who at this point was giving a defeated sigh and threw his hands in the air.
"Excuse me!" James sneered as he fought back the urge to laugh. "Like any girl in their decent MIND would be caught with you at a dance, let alone Lily!"
"As if she would go with the likes of you either?" Snape replied with an ugly sneering smile. "Even if she is a Gryffindor, she DOES have taste!"
"Boys!" Dumbledore called again, hitting his fist on his desk, causing them both to jump slightly. Dumbledore knew he didn't need this type of stress on him right now, with the Ministry already breathing down his neck for solutions to a problem they should be able to handle.
The room was silent once again, James looking at his feet as if he was ashamed of his behavior, Snape giving a rather angry 'hmph' and turning his head away from both James and the Headmaster, a deep sneer on his face.
Dumbledore took in a deep breath before he continue. "I am afraid I shall have to punish you both rather severely."
James gave him the pleading look he often did when he and the other Marauders where in trouble, while Snape gave the headmaster a disbelieving look because he was actually going to get punished for something he thought wasn't his doing.
"So I give you this choice," he continued. "I won't enforce detention because neither one of you seem to learn a thing from it, even when severing together, so I give you this option: you may both either take the suspension and the house points I'm ready to deduct...or..." there was a light twinkle in his sapphire eyes and a small smile formed on his lips.
Snape cringed. He hated when the old man looked this way.
"It seems Professor Hampton will be putting on a play in his Muggles Studies class by her second years. I am quite sure he wouldn't mind handing it over for both of you to produce as your own...and of coarse, there are a few...conditions."
"Conditions?" James gulped. Dumbledore nodded. "You both have to put on the play. And you both must star in it, even if it's a minor roll. You HAVE to do the project together, no man can do more then the other on the productions. And you must use your own year as the actors and actresses. The play will have to be ready in a weeks time previous to Halloween."
They both stared at the smiling old man in disbelief. "You mean...I have to work with...THAT?" Snape replied in utter disgust. James snorted. "Like working with you is my idea of the prefect afternoon spent."
"Oh I do suggest you work together," Dumbledore added. "Because neither one of you can quite once this is begun. You punishment if you both fail will be server...possibly the same punishment you will endure if you decided to take suspension instead. The choice is yours. But I need the answer right now, so I know rather to send you parents owls of your arrivals or invitations to the play."
James sighed. There was no way he was going home...his parents would be so disappointed. But what if Snape decided he'd rather go home? Then he'd have no choice in the matter. They both had to agree to the task or neither one could do it...
Snape frowned. He didn't like being given an ultimatum. He had been given those all his life from his parents. There was no way in hell he was going back...there...for any longer then he had to. And if he had to beat James Potter into agreeing into this stupid play idea, then so be it. He'd rather work with James any day then be sent back to that hell hole he called 'home'.
"Hey, I love a good challenge," James smiled at the headmaster, then turned to Snape with a taunt like grin. "I'm game if you are Sniv-I mean Serverus." He gave him a sweet smile and Snape cringded openly.
"Fine," he grumbled and averted his eyes away from them, hiding the fact he was actually gratefully James agreed. He didn't need to give the Gryffindor something else to tease him about. "And don't you ever in life call me 'Serverus' again," he added with disgust.
James hunched and Dumbledored beamed at both of them. "Well this should be quite a fun experience for the both of you. Go see Professor Hampton so you will know exactly what play you will have the pleasure of performing. Oh! And a lemon drop on your way out?" he added, holding out a small dish to both.
Snape shook his head but James said his thanks and took a handful. Dumbledore nodded at both and stood, showing them the door.
*~*~*~*~*
"I have to say, I'm delighted you're taking up such a big responsibility," Professor Hampton replied as he took out a large stack of papers from his desk drawer James realized was the play.
"It will give me time to study other things with my second year class, not to mention put their minds at ease when it's their turn to do a play and see just how fun it really is."
"Yes-fun," Snape replied sarcastically, snatching the first paper from the pile, ignoring James disapproving glare. Snape's face became that of disgust. "And what is this?"
"Ah yes, we were discovering the wonderful world of Walt Disney, a muggle company that produces most of the most fabulous movies and theme parks in the Muggle World." he explained.
" That was a list of the plays my second years were going to choice from to see exactly what motion picture they would preform for the school."
"I see," Snape sneered. He hated muggle things, not as much as Lucius perhaps, but he did rather despise the muggle ways and the things they produced...well...except Lily Evans...
"I suggest you take these things as well," Professor Hampton continued, handing Snape the rest of the pile of papers, then handing James a stack of rectangle cases he didn't recognize.
"You'll need to watch them so you know exactly what to do. When you preform the play, you may had your own touches here and there but you must, however, stick to the Disney still, such as singing and dancing, as they animated characters do in the movies."
"Movies?" James asked in confusion. Sirius had told him about movies once...something Lily had explained to him. But he had never once seen an actual movie up close before.
"Singing and dancing?" Snape pressed on, his disgusted glare never wavering.
Professor Hampton nodded. "The songs must be sang in the play...all of them...for you to get credit. You only have five to choose from so I suggest you pick the movie that would be most entertaining to watch and preform. The movie that you would change slightly and it still be the same movie. I will have most of the muggle born population be the judge, that way will be sure that you preforming the same play."
Snape rolled his eyes and sighed as he started for the exit. James nodded his thanks and reluctantly followed.
"I say we watch all these...movie thingies...and pick the best one to preform," James suggested.
Snape snorted. "Movie thingies Potter? How about we don't and say we did? Lets just skip that long, unnecessary road of useless knowledge that you and your little friends wallow in and just pick one of the damn things?"
"Fine, lets go to the library, seeing as we have no where else to go and they have that thing Lily said you watch a video on in there."
"Yes, lets," Snape agreed. "The last thing I need is my fellow house members in riducule over me watching this muggle filth."
"They could just always WALK IN to the library dumb ass," James grumbled as they both rounded a sharp corner and walked slowly toward the library's entance.
"Everyone is going to dinner now Potter," Snape barked. "We can eat in the library and I"m sure that snot nose Ravenclaw that's always in charge...what...Prince...will be more then willing to lock it up for our personal use for tonight."
"Whatever Snape, let's just get this over with," James sighed as they both stopped in front of the door.
Snape shifted the packs of papers in his left arm and opened the door with the other, smirking as he let it swing to a close in James face, sending the Gryffindor sprawling to the ground with a crashing thud.
*~*~*~*~*
"Okay," James began as he placed each packet with their individual movie, studding the length of each script and frowning.
"Which one don't you want to do?"
"All of them," Snape replied matter of factly as he drummed his nails against the polish table top, much to James and Prince's annoyance.
James made a buzzing noise and sneered. "Sorry, but thank you playing! Seriously Snape, pick one-and only one-that your just absolutely refuse to do."
"Fine," he replied placing a finger on the video with a boy in green tights on the cover, followed by a fairy. "I refuse to do this," he studied the title. "Peter Pan nonsense. I wouldn't be caught dead in tights."
"Hell, you wore a string thong, might as well," James snickered and Snape gave him a dark glare.
"And we can't do this one," he announced, placing a finger on the cover with lions on it. "The storyline is wonderful but Dumbledore said our year had to star in the play and although I'm sure we could round up a couple of talking lion's, it won't work."
"Then what do we have left?" Snape grumbled.
"Hmm," James began, his eyes sweeping over the rest of the tapes and their scripts. "Well, he have this one about a wooden puppet-"
"No." Snape replied calmly and firmly.
"Okay," James sighed, pushing it over to the side. "And we have this one about called The Little Mermaid."
Snape made a face. "You would consider something that stupid, wouldn't you?"
"Actually, I thought it was pretty nice story, yes," James admitting, thinking how nice it would be to have Lily as the Ariel character and himself as the handsome prince...with Snape as Ursula, the Sea Witch. Personally, he thought they looked strikingly alike...
"But on to something else...what about Pocahontas? I think it would be perfect: instead of the indians and settlers, we could have it the Gryffindors vs. the Slytherins. It's a pretty nice story."
"Yes, but which side would be which?" Snape remarked, surprising James that he would even consider it.
"Well...I guess Gryffindors could be the Indians-"
"Perfect, I always thought you were savages," Snape smirked. "And with Lily as my Pocahontas to my John Smith-" James glared at him as he continued, his face frowning more at every word spoken.
"On second thought, no, we WON'T do that movie," James announced, pushing off to the side.
"And now this leaves us with three movies left," Snape sighed, obviously beginning to like the concept of the Pocahontas movie and having James as the jealous Indian that gets killed...and trying to figuring a way to actually get away with it while making it look like an accident...
"The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast."
James nodded and stared at both for a moment. "Okay...if their left, then they must be the best. Alright. Which one has the longest script?" (A/N: a.k.a. Playing time)
"I haven't the finest clue," Snape snapped. "Beauty and Beast maybe? Because Hunchback of whatever beats Aladdin by one minute."
"Okay...which one has the better storyline?" James asked, taking a sugar quill out of his nap sack and sucking on the tip thoughtfully.
"Didn't you study the script Potter?" Snape replied with annoyance. "Because I personally I don't feel like-"
"Will you stop being an ass for one dame second and help me out here!" James snapped loudly, causing both the liberian and Prince to glare.
"Fine, just keep it down, I don't want to attract anyone coming in here and seeing me with you," Snape sighed in defeat, and leaned up in his chair.
"With the exception of Hunchback of Notre Dame, and that's only to a degree, their all love stories and end up being one in the end," Snape sneered. "
"Hunchback of Notre Dame is about a some man with a disfigured form being locked away in a bell tower who just wants to be excepted for who he is. He loves a gypsy who falls in love with the captain of the guard and who also catches the attention of the-villain if you will-who also loves her because of her slutful dance and resorts to killing her if he can't have him.
Beauty and the Beast is exactly what it sounds like: it's about a beautiful girl forced to live with a beast and they fall in love. But again, the villian is in love with the beauty and tries anyway nessiary to win her affections, including locking her father away for insanity and trying to kill the beast.
And Aladdin is about a street urgent that falls in love with the princess and uses the means of a genie to try and win her affections. Of course, the villain wants the lamp as well and for some rather remarkably stupid reason, for a split second also, falls in love with the leading lady." Snape paused to think for a moment.
"My god, these are rather predictable wouldn't you agree?" he added.
James only shook his head. " How do you know what each is about so well?"
Snape rolled his eyes and stopped drumming his fingers finally, using them to run through his greasy hair. "I glanced over the script, alright? Now what shall we do?"
"Well which movie would be the funniest to preform-and the one you're willing to be a part off." James replied thoughtfully.
"I think Beauty and Beast is something more a Hufflepuff would like to see, a sweet, soft love story and a nice stupid happy go lucky ending. As Aladdin is something more a Ravenclaw might enjoy, the Genie is rather witty, so it seems, and the plot is slightly amusing. And you Gryffindors would probably enjoy the Hunchback, for the sheer stupidity of getting to preform this Topsy Turvy Celebration," he sneered.
James thought for a moment. "Well, and it pains me to say this, what would the Slytherins enjoy doing if they HAD to pick one?"
"Not Beauty and the Beast that's for damn certain," Snape added quickly. "And as you said before about that Lion King movie: most of the characters are talking objects, therefore, it simply throws it out of rank."
"Fine, then it's out of Hunchback and Aladdin," James agreed, placing the two movies between them and glaring at Snape for answer.
Long A/N: Okay, don't spite me if I threw out your favorite Disney movie cause trust me, I love Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid (apart from the stupid song 'Part of Your World', yes, shoot me, I hate it) The Lion King ( I know EVER song to that movie), and Pocahontas.
But when it came right down it to, I had to pick which ones I thought would be the funniest to see them perform and lets face it: Beauty and the Beast is a lovely story but it wasn't that funny apart for the beast and nothing really interesting would come from it, I can't picture the Little Mermaid, so I apologize to you Aerial fans out there, and I hate to say but Pocahontas was well-serious, apart from the dog and the racoon. Not much funny there.
And since I loved the genie in Aladdin, that and Jafar and mostly all the characters were funny-and Hunchback is a rather lovely story and I just loved the music and the Tospy Turvy day has a lot of possiblities, as does the whole story to have the Marauders act a fool as much as Aladdin does: I leave it to you, my readers, for the one and only choice in this story.
Which Disney Movie should they perform? Aladdin or Hunchback? I leave it in your hands.

But when it came right down it to, I had to pick which ones I thought would be the funniest to see them perform and lets face it: Beauty and the Beast is a lovely story but it wasn't that funny apart for the beast and nothing really interesting would come from it, I can't picture the Little Mermaid, so I apologize to you Aerial fans out there, and I hate to say but Pocahontas was well-serious, apart from the dog and the racoon. Not much funny there.
And since I loved the genie in Aladdin, that and Jafar and mostly all the characters were funny-and Hunchback is a rather lovely story and I just loved the music and the Tospy Turvy day has a lot of possiblities, as does the whole story to have the Marauders act a fool as much as Aladdin does: I leave it to you, my readers, for the one and only choice in this story.
Which Disney Movie should they perform? Aladdin or Hunchback? I leave it in your hands.
Next Chapter: Will depend on your decision.
