On night-duty, Professor Snape Heard a student and really went ape Armed with magic and snark He caught, in the dark, An invisibility cape. “What is this?” screamed Snape, in a snit, “Shit, Harry,” cried Ron, “It’s the git!” Young Weasley then fled And hid in his bed, But Potters don’t easily quit. Our hero said “I can explain – “ Yelled Snape “I know this refrain! We’ll go to the Head But he’ll send you to bed Free to do it all over again!” “I suffer your cheek in my class, The whole situation’s a farce, What am I to do? To reprimand you? I really should wallop your arse!” Young Harry went flustered and pink, “Professor, it’s not what you think, I know I’ve been dim – We crept out for a swim But I’m too hot to sleep a damn wink.” Prof Snape looked down, with a gasp, Then said – his voice a mere rasp – “But you’re almost nude! The situation’s not good! Quite frankly, it’s beyond my grasp!” Young Harry then rolled up his eyes, “As if I could go out in disguise! A friend of your Draco’s Hexed my pants and my Speedos, All to be just a bit under-size.” Snape started to pace and to loom, “Detention! At once! In my room! Your state of undress Is causing me stress And don’t think you’ll escape on your broom!” Surreptitiously licking his lips, Unconsciously shifting his hips, Said Snape, “It’s a joke, God I need a smoke – I mean, Potter, you’ve now had your chips!” Harry nervously stifled a snigger, And thought to himself, “Now go figure, I think our Snape’s gay, If you look at the way That the front of his robe’s getting – bigger.” To the dungeons, all dripping and drear Through the dark, the Prof did then steer Though it seemed to young Potter He started to totter As if he had had too much beer. As Snape waved his wand for some light, Thought Harry, “He’s sweaty and white, I think that’s a clue He feels like I do, Boy, these underpants really are tight!” Then Snape turned to him and he roared “Do you not understand, the Dark Lord Could have snatched you tonight, In one single bite? Oh sod, I’m as stiff as a board!” Then Snape went all flustered and red “Potter, forget what I said!” But seeing the Slytherin Near enough dithering Made Harry start using his head. “Professor,” he said with a leer, “It really is perfectly clear,” In a Parseltongue hiss, “If you really want thisssss, Ssssstrip naked and come over here.” As if suddenly under a spell, A compulsion he couldn’t quite quell, Snape shucked off his kit And looking quite fit, Began kissing exceedingly well. Dumbledore sat back with a sigh, Minerva said “Really? Oh my! You were not in error, By the view in your mirror, Our boys will be fine, by and by!” There we leave them, I’m sorry to say, Cheerful enough, in their way, Though the pair of old pervs Might well get on their nerves, Snape and Harry are happy and gay!
