Disclaimer: don't own em, don't sue us.
Authors note: first fanfic, PLEASE be gentil, REVIEW!!!!!!!! (please!)
Severus Snape was a middle aged greasy haired man with a gambling problem. This problem was in fact the reason he was now standing in the middle of a crowd of muggles awaiting their turn to be loaded on board a large ship destined for a caribbean cruise. The ship was named Le Petit Bonbon and was now looming far above his head, hiding the sun from his eyes. Snape leared up at it, remembering how he got himself into this mess.
Flashback
"Severus, might I have a word with you?" Snape turned to see Dumbledore watching him, twinkle in eyes and all. "Certainly Albus." "I have noticed that recently you seem to have increased the number of times you travel to hogsmead for your ocasional gambling nights and I must say your lack of attention to your, erm" he coughed "hygene is troubling." Snape stared. "It is on these grounds that I have decided to take this opportunity to send you on a cruse to further our understanding of muggle security, we fear that Voldermort may be trying to bring the dowfall of the leading heads of the muggle free world by transporting illegal vegetable produce to other countries." "What?!?! " "It's true" Dumbledore replied, nodding his his in agreement with his previouse statement. "Our undercover muggle spies have detected them using criuselines to inport and outport vegetable produce infected with viruses so fearsome that the insect population will transform into giant purple monkeys over the course of the next few years if we allow them to suceed. The fate of the insect world is in your perfectly capable hands."
Snape stared, a slightly glased look overcomming his eyes. "Insects Albus." "Quite." "Purple monkeys." "Indeed." "Destroying the world as we know it due to infected vegtable produce." "Yes" "And you want me to go on a cruise to prevent this from happening." "Exactly."
Severus glared at Dumbledore, disbelief clear in his eyes. "And this is the best you can come up with to make me take a vacation?" "Well...you do need a tan." "YOU DON'T HAVE A TAN!!!!" "Yes, well, I must be off, you leave for the cruise tonight, enjoy your holiday." Snape stared after him as the old man whisked himself away, realization dawning on him of why Albus's eyes had been twinkling so intensly before.
End Flashback
Severus stared at the few remaining people in the line in front of him and muttered "it's going to be a long four weeks."
