A/N: This idea can be credited to or blamed on (depending how you take it) my friend Shadowz for coming up with it. Basically I was mid rant about the Hogwarts uniforms (Weasley jumpers and the fact that the mixed Gryffindor team all get changed in the same room suggests that they wear muggle clothes underneath but when James flips Snape upside down in OotP his underwear can be seen) anyway she said…Well, you'll get the idea if you read on.
Disclaimer: The characters and recognisable places belong to JK, the idea belongs to Shadowz and the words belong to the first caveman who said 'because'.
Silver Lining
"Who wants to see me take Snivelly's pants off?" shouted James Potter to the crowd of onlookers.
Snape cursed and struggled, his legs pin wheeling frantically in the air but help was at hand.
"Potter! Black!" It was Professor McGonagall.
Snape was dropped unceremoniously to the ground where he lay for a moment, covering his bare legs and burning with humiliation. Quickly, whilst the crowd was occupied watching its favourite quidditch stars cower under McGonagall's rage, he picked himself up and left.
Once he was sitting on a toilet in the dark silence of the dungeons he dropped his head into his hands and forced himself to breathe deeply. His mother had always told him that there was good in every situation, it was just finding it. Right. So where was the good in this?
I was just humiliated by bloody Potter.
Breathe in.
And Black.
Breathe out.
Again.
Breathe in.
The whole school saw that mudblood stand up for me.
Breathe out.
And she was the only one. Now everyone knows for certain that I've got no friends.
Breathe in.
Not to mention the fact that everyone saw my underwear.
Breathe out.
He looked up sharply. Forgetting his ritual of trying to breathe deeply and easily to try and hold back the tears. He had just spotted the good in the situation.
For all their taunts Black and Potter hadn't noticed that his pants were only displayed due to the skirt that he was wearing under his robes. That was something at least.
As he made to exit the toilet, his emotions now fully under control, he thought of something else, something even better. At least he hadn't been wearing the sexy hot-pink thong that Luciusliked so much…
A/N: So what do ya think? Review and let me know.
