Chapter 7 The Grunge Look
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters.
A/N: Thanks to my beta evenstar.
Hermione was reading the Witches Weekly and saw the latest look for American wizard's clothes. They were a grunge style. She thought that she would make a good prank to pull on her husband. It would have to be done in a way that he could not see, but others could see. She would have to some research in the library for that. So she went to the library to see if she could find an answer. The library did not have the information she was looking for at all.
Hermione went and sent an owl to Ginny Potter and asked if she knew any spells for her latest prank. Hermione then explained what her latest prank involved. Ginny sent an owl back with a note telling her that she could cast a glamour on Snape for the prank. Ginny wrote that there is a special spell for this kind of glamour. All Hermione had to do was to say 'garbo' and visualize what Snape was going to look like.
Hermione sent the owl back with a note saying thank you to Ginny. She decided that she was going to pull the prank off the next day.
In the morning before her husband woke up she performed the spell on him. He was wearing an indigo flannel shirt, and overalls. A few minutes later Snape awoke. He saw that his wife was in a good mood that morning. He did not know why she was in a good mood. Snape hoped she was not up to something. He did say good morning to her anyway.
Hermione said to him, "Good morning Severus." Then she gave him a kiss, and tried not to giggle on how he looked.
Later on as they left their quarters and went to the Great Hall. Snape noticed as they were walking that some of the students were giving him strange looks. Snape could not figure out why he was getting strange looks. The answer came as he entered the Great Hall. The students from the all four houses were staring and giggling at him. It was then he knew that something was going on.
He turned to Hermione and scowled then said, "What did you do to me Hermione?"
Hermione knew the gig was up. She told him, It is just a glamour I put on you. You are wearing an indigo flannel shirt and overalls Severus. You still have your normal black clothes on. I will take the glamour off you now."
Hermione then said 'garbo'. The glamour was gone. Severus was glad that he was back to normal.
He asked, "Where did you get the idea for the clothes?"
Hermione had the Witches Weekly on her so she showed him the pictures in the magazine as they sat down in their seats. He thought those American wizards had a weird sense of clothing style. They would not catch him wearing clothing like that.
A/N: Please review. Keep smiling. :-)
Idea came from Varity Sinning
'Garbo' means glamour.
