Chapter Seventeen - The Ultimate Interlude
Now, as we all well know, Fred and George Weasley were effectively the resident evil in Hogwarts when they were around. But now there was a new power rising, something that lived up to the reputation of the illustrious twins, and it came in the form of two more Weasley's, namely Kelly and Miranda.
Though not yet quite as skilled at their uncles, Ron and Lavender's children were learning very quickly what makes people tick, and how to effectively use it against them. Toward students, Severus Snape is the ultimate anti-fun teacher, so of course the idea of him doing something funny is absurd... or is it? Apparently not when Kelly and Miranda step up to the plate!
It was October first and it was time to make trouble. The waited until after evening meal before they set the trap, ready for the next day. They cast a rather unusual spell on Severus' robes, which would not kick in until after daybreak and would only take effect when he said the word 'Slytherin'.
The following day Severus pulled on his usual black robes and went to the great hall for breakfast. He engaged in a conversation with a new teacher, Professor Marie Clarke, the new defence against the dark arts teacher. "That's my granddaughter." He said proudly, pointing out Drucial, who was now sitting at the Griffindor table amongst the many Weasley's.
"A Griffindor is she?" Marie asked, munching on a piece of toast.
"No, she's just like her father... a Slytherin through and through." And that was when it happened. Severus jumped up on the staff table, drawing the attention of everyone in the hall, he looked down at Marie and the inevitable happened... he began to sing...
"Say it's true, Pink and blue.
I can share your situation.
Keeping hold our, Emotions yeah.
Will only make us cry.
And you go, But I know.
It ain't so serious' anyway.
When the clouds arrive.
We'll live on Ocean Drive.
Don't know why, So blue.
The sun's gonna shine on everything you do.
The skies so blue.
The sun's gonna shine on everything you do."
Poor Marie didn't know what to think. She was fighting a fit of giggles! Severus grabbed her hand and pulled her onto the table and started dancing with her.
"He left you, Black and blue.
Without a word of explanation.
And he took your love for granted and.
He left you high and dry.
But you know, Someday.
Well you'll wonder what you see in him' anyway.
When that day arrives.
We'll live on Ocean Drive.
Don't know why, So blue.
The sun's gonna shine on everything you do.
The sky' so blue.
The sun's gonna shine on everything you do."
The song finished and Severus helped Marie down off the table, mumbling an apology as he glared at Kelly and Miranda... he was going to get them for this... Damned Weasley's. They were all out to get him.
"I take it that was your doing?" Drucial asked with a giggle. Kelly and Miranda looked at one another, both looked rather confused. "It was you, wasn't it?"
"Sort of..." Kelly said softly, looking over at Drucial, who was quite happily perched on Angelo's lap.
"What do you mean 'sort of'?"
"Well, he should have stopped after the first chorus, so he must have done the rest on his own." Miranda said.
Up at the staff table, Severus was holding Marie's hand... this was the start of something quite cute and mushy.
