Entry #1

(Slytherin Common Room)



SNAPE


Ah hahahaha. Ah ha haaaa. A haaaa.


So that’s what James sounds like when he laughs, mostly at me... a lot of people heard him an started laughing along. The terrifying feeling of lots of people staring, pointing...


No response, by the way from my parents yet. All this half-blood stuff sucks when you're in Slytherin. The pure blood mania is exhausting. Especially when Lucius is around. He's just...so judgmental and pure blooded and stuff... 


(grabs letters from off the desk) 



Ok, on to  mail. LightDistrust writes "Hey half-blood," wow, half-blood, that's original... "What happened to the transfiguration spell you were supposed to use on Hagrid's acromantula to turn it into an umbrella? I saw him carrying a big box across the courtyard labeled ARAGOG. Guess you failed again, probably the muggle in you." Ok you know what, yes my father is a muggle, but I am fully wizard. And also it wasn't about transforming Hagrid's spider into an umbrella, it was about... never mind. 


This next one comes from a BeStrange, "Hey Idiot," (Snape shoots a funny look at the camera) "Why didn't you steal the Marauders Map yet from Potter and Black? You really are a coward." Actually BeStrange, I am planning on stealing it from them, very soon. I just, haven't found the proper time or place.

BlackDog writes, "Snivellous, I waited for you at the Quidditch Pitch yesterday, guess you didn't get the previous letter that I sent you with the date and time. Either that or you are just too stupid to know that when your enemy challenges you to a duel, it is wizard protocol to accept." Dude, you are not my enemy. I don't even know who you are... James Potter and his gang are my enemies...

The last one comes from ArtWeaselbee. “Long time Muggle fan, first time investigator. I heard your father is a," Blah blah blah blah... “You always complain that she doesn't know how you feel and that soon you will ‘show her how you really feel, show her the you really care.' Who is ‘her’ and does she even know that you’re” ...

GOYLE


Hey Snape.


SNAPE


Goyle! My evil, Slytherin buddy. What’s going on?


GOYLE


Life of crime. Brought your mail.


SNAPE


Hey, didn’t you ahh. Didn’t you go on a date last


night with Bellatrix? Lucius Malfoy told me you were doubling with


him and Narcissa.


GOYLE


Yeah, uhhh...


SNAPE


Yeah?


GOYLE


It was all right. I kinda thought I was supposed to


end up with Bellatrix, but...


SNAPE


I hear ya. I saw Lily today.


GOYLE


You tell to her?


SNAPE


Not yet. I’m just a few weeks away from actually saying how I feel. I think I'm gonna ask... Oh my God!


GOYLE


Is that from the Club?


SNAPE


It’s from him! That’s his seal isn’t it?!?


GOYLE


The Professor? The... Oh my God!


SNAPE


I got a letter from Professor Slughorn!


GOYLE


That’s so hard core. Slughorn is legend. He rules

SNAPE


Are you stupid? This is wonderful! I’m about to pull a


major heist. You know the Marauder's Map that I need


to steal from James? He and his friends are using it tonight after dinner.


GOYLE


To sneak out of Hogwarts?


SNAPE


I don't know. All I need to do is follow them and steal it.


GOYLE


I hear they sneak into the Forbidden Forest, Avery told me.


SNAPE


Uhm thanks. Anyways... I gotta steal it.

"Helping Charm"


LILY


WILL YOU CAST A HELPING CHARM


TO SAVE THE FORBIDDEN FOREST?


ONLY HAVE TO CAST THE CHARM


DON’T EVEN HAVE TO KNOW WHAT IT'S FOR


WOULD YOU HELP?


NO? HOW BOUT YOU?


WILL YOU CAST A HELPING CHARM?


SNAPE


ARGHHH!


LILY


Oh. Oh.


SNAPE


Argh. Ah. Hah. What?


LILY


I was wondering if I could just... Oh hey, Severus!


SNAPE


Hey Lily, how was your summer? You weren't at Spinners End, or were you, I don't know... Hi.


LILY


No, no my family went to France to visit Beauxbatons Academy. They were thinking about trying to transfer me to an all girls school. Petunia started telling my parents that I have secret lovers at Hogwarts.


SNAPE


She's just jealous, she always has been. And she should be, you are way better than she is.


LILY


(Blushes and smiles) Don't be mean... What did you do?


SNAPE


Nothing much. My parents got a divorce, who would've seen that coming huh... So what are you doing?


LILY


Actually I’m Head Girl and I'm trying to get Witches and Wizards to cast a helping charm to save the animals in the Forbidden Forest. Can you spare a minute?


SNAPE


Umm... Ok, go.


LILLY


Ok, so there's a werewolf rampaging around in the Forbidden Forest eating all the animals. Hagrid...


SNAPE


Hagrid? *pfft*


LILY


Yeah.


SNAPE


Sorry, go on.


LILY


I was saying um, he would help get the professors on board to come cast with us to try and find the werewolf and get it out of the forest if we can get enough students to come and cast the charm. You're not really interested in saving the forest animals are you?


SNAPE


No, I am. But they’re a symptom. You’re treating a


symptom and the disease rages on, consumes the entire school. A grindelow rots from the head as they say. So my


thinking is why not cut off the head?


LILY


Of Hogwarts?


SNAPE


It’s not a perfect metaphor... but I’m talking about an


overhaul of the system. Putting the power in...


different... hands.


LILY


I’m all for that... This petition is about the


forest...


SNAPE


I’d love to come cast the spell.


LILY


Thank you.


SNAPE


Sorry I... I come on strong.


LILY


But you agreed to help.


SNAPE


Wouldn’t want to turn my back on you... I mean on a fellow magical person


LILY


Well if WE can’t stick together I don’t... I’ll


probably see you there.


SNAPE


Yeah, you will. I’ll...


She asked me to help her. Why did she ask me to help NOW? Maybe I


should...


(Seeing James and posse walk to the Gryffindor table and immediately surrounded by girls)


 


"A Wizard’s Gotta Do"


 


A WIZARD’S GOTTA DO WHAT A WIZARD’S GOTTA DO


DON’T CAST THE SPELL IF YOU CAN’T FOLLOW THROUGH


ALL YOU NEED IS TO BE SEEN WAIVING YOUR OWN WAND


SOON I’LL CONTROL EVERYTHING


MY WISH IS YOUR COMMAND (casts a spell and a snake appears on the Gryffindor table)


 


JAMES 


STAND BACK EVERYONE


NOTHIN’ HERE TO SEE


JUST AN EXTREMELY DEADLY


AND THE HERO WILL BE ME (BLACK casts a "Breeze Spell" on James)


YES JAMES POTTER'S HERE 


HAIR BLOWING IN THE BREEZE (winks at Black)


THE SCHOOL NEEDS MY SPELL CASTING EXPERTISE(Hits the snake with a spell and it goes flying in the air and lands near Lily)


A WIZARD’S GOTTA DO WHAT A WIZARD’S GOTTA DO (snake goes after Lily and James casts a spell but it does nothing. Snape casts a spell that hit's the snake and it vanishes in smoke. James throws Lily over the table and jumps on the table kicking food into Snape's face, then walks over to a random girl and hands her a cupcake) 


SEEMS DESTINY ENDS WITH ME SAVING YOU


THE ONLY SPELL THAT’S IN THE AIR IS YOU LOVING ME TILL DEATH


SO I’LL GIVE YOU A SECOND TO CATCH YOUR BREATH


SNAPE


(wiping the food off his face) You Git!


JAMES


Snivellous. I should have known you were the idiot behind this.


SNAPE


You could've hurt her.


JAMES


I'm not the one who created the snake.


SNAPE


*urgh*


BLACK


Its over for you Snivellous. Get ready to feel the wrath of Black. (Grabs Snape and puts him in a headlock)


LILY


THANK YOU JAMES POTTER, I DON’T THINK I CAN MAKE


A PERFECT THANK YOU FOR STOPPING THAT BIG SNAKE


I WOULD BE BITTEN; I’D BE POISONED I WOULD DIE


THANK YOU JAMES FOR BEING A NICE GUY


JAMES


Don’t worry about it.


A WIZARD’S GOTTA DO WHAT A WIZARD'S GOTTA DO.


LILY


(YOU CAME FROM NO WHERE.)


SNAPE


(ARE YOU KIDDING?)


BLACK, LUPIN AND PETTIGREW


SEEMS DESTINY ENDS WITH HIM SAVING YOU


SNAPE


(WHAT SPELL WERE YOU WATCHING?)


LILY


(I WONDER WHAT YOU’RE CAPABLE OF)


SNAPE


(STOP LOOKING AT HER LIKE THAT)


JAMES


WHEN YOU’RE THE BEST BETTER THAN THE REST, WHY TRY TO FIT IN?


SNAPE


(DID YOU NOTICE THAT HE THREW THE SNAKE AT YOU FIRST?)


LILY


(MY HEART IS SOARING LIKE A BROOM)


BLACK


THERE’S ASS NEEDS KICKING. SOME SLYTHERIN IS GETTING IN THE WAY.


LILY


(MUST... MUST BE IN SHOCK)


SNAPE


(I KILLED THE SNAKE. HIS WAND WASN'T EVEN IN HIS HAND)


JAMES


THE ONLY SPELL THAT'S CAST IS THAT YOU'LL BE LOVING ME TILL DEATH


LILY


(ASSUMING I’M NOT LOVING YOU TILL DEATH)


SNAPE


(WHATEVER)


JAMES & LILY


SO PLEASE GIVE ME A SEC TO CATCH MY BREATH


SNAPE

Some of the syncopation with the original song is off. I'm not exactly sure if it was sung if you could match up the tunes all the time. For instance, wizard is two syllables, but Man is one. This means the tune is going to end up awkward or Wizard is going to end up slurred. You might want to consider rephrasing it back to Man and just change the things around in the non-chorus parts. There are things like that in the other ones too which would make this hard for me to sing aloud. As it stands, I think you're doing a good job mimicing Dr. Horrible but making it Harry Potter. This seems like something Weird Al would do, honestly, and while I know that a lot of people are going to laugh at it, I'm not sure how it would be judged as good or bad.

So anyway, watch your syllable counts.

Please credit Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog, or else this is plagiarism.

I put in the short description that is was from Dr. Horrible and Harry Potter and that no copy wright was intended, been there since day one so I think I am okay. Thanks for the concern though.

Oh god yes. I don't even know what to say to you right now. Except to command you to produce it right now. Cant. Cannot brain. There are no words.

I don't usually fanfic, but...that was priceless.

This was really entertaining, especially for a potter fan like myself. The action kept moving at a good pace and I feel you really let Snape's personality shine through. The one thing I would suggest working on is your formatting. Other than that keep on keeping on!
Happy Writing!

Thanks for the formatting idea! Any way specifically you feel would make it look better? It's supposed to be more like a script than a story.
