Note: I would just like to say that I do not own any of the Harry Potter Characters and I also do not own the Beatles songs used in this chapter. And I would very happy to get reviews. Thank you for reading! And I hope you enjoy!
Chapter 2
Severus Snape entered his classroom, dreading the day ahead of him. He awoke that morning to find that the singing potion had not been a dream and ended up singing a loud chorus of some weird song about a yellow submarine. After that he had decided to skip breakfast and stay in his chambers to save himself the embarrassment. Now he was pacing in his classroom, dreading the moment when he could no longer avoid people. He planned to have them read everything that way he wouldn't have to talk. All he would have to do is sit at his desk and grade papers, not say a word. The bell rang and within a few moments time, Snape heard people queuing up outside. With a low growl (that sounded oddly musical), he got up and opened the door. Snape looked out and glared and at the students lined up. He made a hand motion that signaled that they should enter the classroom. Snape continued to glare at every student that entered. After the last student entered, he slammed the door and stalked over to his desk, on his way he waved his wand at the black board and the instructions for the work they were to do. Snape sat down at the desk and bent over his paper work without a word.
"Professor Snape, sir?" Came a voice from within the bunch of students. "I have a question about the assignment…" Snape pointed at a line on the board that read If you are confused about something consult you text book. without even looking upand continued with his work.
There was almost five minute of silence before another voice came from the students. "Professor Snape?" Snape forced himself to keep his head down, though he desperately longed to snap at the disobeying students. The board clearly said to keep quiet. "Could we possibly turn in our essays early from our last session?" Snape glanced up and glared then returned to his paper work.
Five more minutes passed and then, "Professor?" Snape stopped writing, his irritation growing more and more by each question. "I don't understand these directions." Snape's eyes began to twitch, he couldn't take any more of this idiocy, he looked up and yelled, "Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time, it's easy. All you need is love. All you need is love. All you need is love love. Love is all you need." Snape shut his mouth quickly once he realized that he wasn't shouting insults but some wacky song about love.
"Hey Professor I didn't know you liked the Beatles! I wouldn't pin you for one to listen to Muggle bands." The rest of the class broke out into laughter. Snape clenched his fists, he thought about hexing them. The students continued to laugh and, forgetting his little singing problem, he attempted to shout but instead sang, "Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can. No need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people, sharing all the
world. You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday that you will join us and the world will live as one. "
Snape closed his mouth and after a moment realized that he had been singing about peace. He felt disgusted; these Beatles people seemed to be pretty nutty. The students though found it highly amusing and started to roar louder. Snape growled musically and walked over to the board and wrote "OUT! NOW!" on it. He turned around and glared fiercely at them. Many of the students turned white and hurried to gather their stuff to leave. Others were shocked and momentarily couldn't move for a few seconds before they two began to gather their stuff.
When the class was empty Snape walked over to his desk fuming. How did he end up teach such idiots? Snape was pacing and growling to himself when someone entered his classroom and said, "Severus? Is everything alright?"
It was Professor McGonagall, again. But Snape didn't realize that until he sang, "She loves you yeah, yeah, yeah. She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah. And with a love like that you know you should be glad." Snape gave another musical growl, frustrated that Minerva had caught him a second time singing.
"Severus? Is everything alright? I know some people like their music but to scare one's pupils…that's hardly acceptable. This is probably a product of stress; you should take the rest of the day off. Is seems that there are directions for your classes, I'll get you a substitute."
Snape looked at Minerva and was oddly happy that she had heard his singing. He nodded in agreement and tried to say thank you but instead sang, "We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine. We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine. And all our friends are on board and many more of them live next door." Snape grimaced and growled some more then stalked out of the room without even nodding to Minerva.
"Severus!" Snape heard her call when he got half way down the hall. He turned and looked at her. "Are you sure everything's alright?" Snape growled more. Yes because the outbursts of song are meant to be affirmatives. He had wanted to say this aloud but instead came out "Oh yeah, I'll tell you something, I think you'll understand. When I say that something, I want to hold your hand, I want to hold your hand, I want to hold your hand. Oh, please say to me you'll let me be your man." Snape snapped his mouth shut, utterly mortified. Minerva just stood there mouth open and wide eyed. Snape turned around and stalked off to his office, determined to figure out an antidote for this stupid singing!
