Blackmail chapter 4
Dorie Kaiba
Harry gulped as he entered the great hall. He had chosen a song that wasn't too embracing but it was still sheer humiliation to be doing this in the first place. However, the twist may make up for the first part Harry hoped. Snape was there looking sour and sipping his coffee. Harry supposed now was as good a time as any.
He
stood up and sang: You'll remember me
when the west wind
moves
upon the fields of barley
Everyone
stared at Harry and the room got quiet. He kept going: You'll
forget the sun
in his jealous sky
as we walk in fields of gold
Harry
faced the head table slowing walking toward Snape: Will you stay
with me
will you be my love
among the fields of barley?
Snape
spat out his coffee. Harry smiled and switched songs: Please
allow me to introduce him
He's a man of wealth and taste
He's
been around for a long, long year
stole many a man's soul and
faith
Snape's
face turned bright red. Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess his
name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of his
game, oh yeah
Snape
stood up his hands clenched. Harry skipped a few verses and went for
it: Just call him Severus
'cause he's in need of some
restraint
so if you meet him
have some courtesy
Have some
sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or
He'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
At this point the school stood up and cheered Harry.
Snape screamed "500 points from Gryffindor."
That shut everyone up. Harry was elated though. All afternoon he got complements on how he totally smashed Snape. No one really remembered about the first part of the song. Even Malfoy when he smirked and said, "How many teachers are you gonna have to sleep with to get those points back up?" He barely registered it. His euphoria quickly faded as he remembered the other tasks but maybe there was a way to twist the tasks to his advantage again.
