Universe: Harry Potter
Prompt: Severus Snape used to be in a boy band and his newest class finds out
In the dimly lit dungeons of Hogwarts, Professor Snape, the stoic Potions Master, carried a secret from his past—one that even his sharp-witted students couldn't fathom. Unbeknownst to the wizarding world, Snape had once been part of an obscure wizard boy band known as "The Enchanted Elixirs."
As the Hogwarts Express pulled into the station at the start of the school year, a hushed excitement buzzed through the castle. The students of Snape's newest class, a mix of curious first-years and returning students, settled into the chilly dungeon classroom. Little did they know, their Potions Master had a hidden talent that transcended the cauldron.
One day, as Snape meticulously explained the intricacies of potion-making, an enchanted parchment slipped from his desk, revealing a faded poster featuring a younger Snape striking a dramatic pose alongside his bandmates. Gasps and giggles erupted in the classroom as the students realized their stern professor had once been a wizarding heartthrob.
Whispers spread like wildfire through the castle, and soon, students were clandestinely searching for snippets of "The Enchanted Elixirs'" music. Snape, ever vigilant, noticed the change in atmosphere but remained aloof, unwilling to acknowledge his past life.
However, the persistent curiosity of the students led them to organize a secret talent show during the annual Hogwarts Feast. Unbeknownst to Snape, they uncovered an old record of the boy band's hit single, "Love Potion No. 9¾." As the enchanted melody filled the Great Hall, Snape's eyes widened in disbelief.
The students, unable to contain their amusement, watched as their usually stern professor struggled to maintain his composure. The song reached its crescendo, and to everyone's surprise, Snape's expression softened for a fleeting moment, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
The next day, the whispers continued, but this time, there was a newfound respect for the Potions Master. Despite Snape's attempts to maintain his intimidating demeanor, the revelation added a layer of complexity to the enigmatic professor.
As the school year progressed, Snape's past life as a wizard boy band member became a cherished Hogwarts legend, whispered among generations of students who marveled at the unexpected twist in the tale of Severus Snape.
