uten: thanks for the review. But are you really sure he's leaving? we'll just have to wait and see on that one!
opal: thanks for the idea. I had already decided what to do to Snape but I like your idea so I'm adapting it!!! Hope you don't mind!
Chapter 9
Tuesday began with the fresh and rosy fingers of dawn, a beautiful day by all accounts. That is until breakfast, where it all went horribly wrong for one unsuspecting potions teacher. Little did he know that he was about to eat canary creams, but no ordinary canary creams, modified and disguised canary creams! They had already been modified by the Weasley twins to last for an hour before wearing off, and one minute after they had worn off a charm was triggered to go off! Sixty-one minutes after he ate the dreaded food, his hair would turn pink but not any old pink, FLUORESCENT pink with bright electric blue highlights and a lovely neon sign above him where he goes, inscribed with 'This is what happens when you don't wash your hair... EVER'. His robes would also change from his usual dull dreary black to a nice bright Gryffindor red and gold with roaring lions all over them!!!!! (thanks opal) Unfortunately the person it was set up by and also in aid of had already left Hogwarts perhaps never to return.
Mail had just flown into the great hall, with one unusual delivery; Hedwig had a letter tied to one of her legs for the prank victim. Snape realising it was from Harry, stowed it away in his pocket to read later in the comfort and privacy of his rooms. Shortly after he put away the letter, he made the mistake of eating his breakfast. After five forkfuls of scrambled eggs the Hogwarts potion professor's head was replaced with a canary's! Naturally the whole school witnessed his change and laughed themselves silly at the sight. That is all apart from the Slytherins who were outraged that someone would do this to their head of house. Hurrying out of the hall as quickly as possible, trying to look as normal and ferocious as usual, Snape made a hasty retreat to the dungeons.
Meanwhile the-boy-who-refused-to-die, yes Mr Harry Potter himself had already port keyed to the Leaky Cauldron earlier that morning and was currently enjoying a leisurely full English breakfast whilst waiting for the shops and Gringotts to open for business.
Okay this isn't finished but I felt that you all deserved to have this little bit. The next chapter will be longer and I shall hopefully have a special Christmas fic up just in time for Christmas, I'm writing it now (as well as the others) so that we won't have this long gap in between new chapters problem! Please review and have a good week! Chantale
