Always Look on the Bright Side of Life Chapter 3

A/N: Hello! I think that this will be the last chapter! Thanks for reading and reviewing and favoriting/story alerting! Have you guessed the song yet? It's not that hard. Here we go!

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter and the song belongs to Eric Idle and Monty Python. If you can't figure out what the song is by now then you'll be lost. I'm sorry.

Draco quietly crept down the corridors leading towards Snape's rooms. His heart was pounding and he felt quite sick, even if he didn't show it. What if Snape caught him? What was the worst thing he could possibly do to him? Draco shuddered at the thought and then realized that he was at the potion master's office. Mind reeling at all the possible lies he could tell

Snape, Draco knocked on the door. To his surprise, Snape had left the door open and unlocked! The old codger must be losing it at his age, Draco thought amusedly. He quietly slipped inside, closing the door behind him.

On the other side of the hallway, Snape was going back to his rooms from the kitchens. He had asked the elves for a cheese and crackers platter, but they made it into a full-course meal. 'Those weird-looking over achievers' he thought with a sigh. Then he noticed the door to his private store of ingredients was open.

"If it's any of those Gryffindorks I will take two-hundred house points away. That might put me in a better mood. I might even smile-no wait they think that I am devoid of the capability." He thought with a smirk. He quietly crept towards the door and slowly started to open it when-BAM! The door came swinging forward on his nose to reveal…Malfoy? What the bloody hell?

The blonde looked up with an expression of utmost fear on his handsome face. "Sir I can explain-"

"Good because I'll need a bloody fantastic explanation for me to consider not docking points. I'm ashamed Malfoy, had it been a Gryffindor I would understand, but why you?"

"I…I….I was going to surprise you with my potion making skills. I thought I pepper-me-up potion would suffice, but the ingredients I need are in you stores. I thought you wouldn't mind one or two missing…"

"Just get out!" said Snape, who was in an even fouler mood than before. Draco scrambled past Severus, his arms full of ingredients (which I must mention, was not one or two). "Stupid kids these days, don't even know why I put up with them."

The next day started with Severus in a foul mood, which was not uncommon. He seemed to snap at students at almost every turn of the day, and barely made it to dinner time. He thought his day couldn't possibly get any worse. Until Dumbledore got that meddling twinkle in his eye (which Snape hated with a passion) and stood up.

"Students and faculty, as you may know this evening is a very special one indeed. Our dear friend Professor Snape has been looking down in the dumps lately, and as all the students know I proposed a little contest to see if we can make him a bit better a little over two days ago. Well the moment has arrived! I will give the first group, the Slytherins, their go. Then, as the rest of you have teamed together, your turn awaits. Good Luck!" said Dumbledore with a flourish. Typical, the old meddler had to ruin his plans for the evening. On the other hand, this might be entertaining to see what those idiots have come up with. As if he would smile! He hadn't smiled since Lily died!

"Well, get on with it then." He grumbled as Draco Malfoy stepped forward.

"Sir, I would like to give you these. Would Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ronald Weasley please get on stage."

"You gave me dolls, Malfoy."

"Move their limbs, sir and look at the people on the stage." By gods! If Snape moved an arm, the said person moved their actual arm. Snape started to make the dolls do humiliating things. First, he smashed Ron and Hermione together and then he made Harry dance the Macarena. He did this for the next thirty minutes exciting laughs from many Slytherins. He also cackled a little bit, to the horror of many students. Severus did not smile however, by the time the spell had gone out he was frowning again. Malfoy collected the dolls and the Golden trio was free to go.

"Alright, next up, the Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, and Hufflepuffs!" called Dumbledore, "Apparently, they are going to entertain us with a song." Snape rolled his eyes. "Well, this better be quick or I don't know if I can restrain myself from hexing anyone." He grumbled

A/N: Going into song mode….

Hermione: Our soloists are Neville Longbottom , Harry Potter, and Ronald Weasley. Hope you are all entertained.

Neville: Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

All: And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

Harry: If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

All: And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

Ron: For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

All: So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Everyone took a deep breath and realized, hey, we forgot our lines! Crap! Whilst everyone was panicking, Snape snuck onto stage to help the brats, for it was a nice song. And then he surprised everyone, including himself by saying:

Snape: Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

Once everyone had gotten over the initial shock, they all joined in for a chorus.

All: And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...

Dumbledore: Come on guys, cheer up!

All: Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...

Dumbledore: Worse things happen at sea, you know

All: Always look on the bright side of life…

Dumbledore: I mean-what have you got to lose?
You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!

All: Always look on the bright side of life…

And the song was finished with an unexpectedly loud cheer. The best part of all? Snape was grinning and laughing along with the rest of the students. Everyone got their happy ending. Except the Slytherins, but, they never do so…yeah Goodnight Hogwarts!

THE END
