...or, "HMS Gryffindor".

*

SCENE: The Ministry of Magic. The building is dank and filled with cobwebs, and generally evil-looking.

Enter EVIL!SNAPE in a stylish black cloak, accompanied by EVIL!MINIONS.

Song to the tune of "When I was a lad I served a term" from HMS Pinafore (music by Sir Arthur Sullivan)

SNAPE:

When I was a boy I went to school
Where Dumbledore taught us all his golden rule:
"Just skive off class from nine to four
And you never will be punished -- if you're Gryffindor!"

MINIONS:

And you never will be punished if you're Gryffindor!

SNAPE:

I took to heart what I was taught,
And now I am the right-hand man to Voldemort.

MINIONS:

He took to heart what he was taught, etc.

SNAPE:

Tom Riddle was like a father to me;
He taught me Cruciatus and Occlumency.
He marked me with his protective bond,
And I licked his evil boots and polished his wand.

MINIONS:

He licked his evil boots and polished his-- er... ahem, etc.

SNAPE:

I rubbed it up with oil just like I ought,
And now I am the right-hand man to Voldemort!

MINIONS:

He rubbed it up with oil-- ah... *cough*, etc.

SNAPE:

Months passed; I grew to understand
That my Dark Lord was not a well man.
Unicorn blood was his daily snack--
And I never got to kill those wankers Potter and Black.
So I plotted hard and soon I thought
Of a plan to make the most of knowing Voldemort.

Like Saul on the road to Damascus, I
Came crawling back to school with a repentful cry:
"I've just realised killing Muggles is bad
And the Dark Lord was a poor choice as a surrogate dad."
Albus bribed a judge, and I lied in court,
And now I am the right-hand man to Voldemort.

For eighteen years I bided time,
Teaching dunderheaded firsties how to brew up slime.
Made sure that I was a trusted man--
Then I poisoned Harry Potter at his final exam.
The Light flipped off at the Final Assault,
And now I am the right-hand man to Voldemort.

I knocked off Lucius, Bellatrix too,
And Wormtail met his maker underneath my shoe.
In pieces Voldie's mind is rent,
And now, through him, I run a puppet government.

MINIONS:

And now, through him, he runs a puppet government!

SNAPE:

Dear Albus, here's my last retort:
I really *am* the right-hand man to Voldemort!

MINIONS:

Dear Albus, here's his last retort:
He really was the right-hand man to Voldemort!

EXEUNT, to maniacal laughter

*

And an unrelated bonus verse:

I read a slashy fic wherein
A Gryffindor banged a Slytherin,
And that Harry/Draco ship, I ween,
Was the only ship that I ever had seen;
Writing that little ship was such a good plan
That now I am a Harry Potter Big Name Fan!

You're pure genius! I love it! Of course, now it's stuck in my head all day but I forgive you that and I'm off to hunt for my school photos of same production. Especially like the verse that starts 'for 18 years'The image this conjurs up of Snape prancing around a stage are just too wonderful and now my brain cells are all excited. I might add on a personal note that the main thing I learned from G & S plays was that crinolins are bloody uncomfortable!

thank you!

(To the tune of "This helmet, I suppose" from Princess Ida)

This bloody crinolin
It really chafes my skin
Like a wool teacup
It trips me up
This bloody crinolin
It really chaaaaaafes my skin!
It ought to be a sin
To wear a crinolin
So oooooooff, off goes that crinolin!

(Yes, yes, yes! Off goes that crinolin!)
