Snape looks at me and glares. He than walks into his room, so I walk into the bathroom to take a shower. I get in and and start singing my favorite song (Lake Pontchartrain by Ludo, if you don't know it please look it up).

"I'll tell it like it happened, it Darius and

Noland and me,

Just a few po' boys trying to get up out

of Missouri,

Took 55 Louisiana, stopped by the

highway to eat,

They both had crawfish, strictly chicken

for me,

Back out under thunderheads the radio

was Southern soul,

They interrupted Clarence Carter with a

strange-ass local show,

They were sayin;

'Come down to Lake Pontchartrain.

Rest your soul and feed your brain.

That's where you will get to see

everything the water can be.'

The rain was comin' down, the wind was

howlin' outside of Slidell,

It was the kind of night that makes you

think the whole worlds goin' to hell,

We got off on an exit cause we couldn't

read the map so great.

Near the Chowtaw Motal, we park

deliberate.

When out of the bayou came a man like

the lake had a tongue,

He was right up on the glass, all,

yellowed-eyed, black teeth, bangin' on

the windshield,

Screamin' like a demon at the top of his

lungs,

'Come down to Lake Pontchartrain.

Rest your soul and feed your brain.

Free for you and all your friends.

Crawfish 'til the bitter end.

Come down to Lake Pontchartrain.

Wade to where the shallows break,

That's where you will get to see

everything the water can be.'

I was drivin' out of there as fast as a

Camry could,

But the interstate was flooded, so I had

to take the road through the woods,

Bad move in retrospect; the road

disappeared in the rain,

And I stood on the breaks when I saw

the sign:

'Lake Pontchartrain'

Darius was yellin' that he saw somebody

out in the swells,

He jumped out, runnin' and Noland was

goin' as well,

'COME BACK!' Why the hell would they

leave the car?

And that's when I heard it, make no

mistake.

The voices were callin' them from under

the lake.

[Repeat: x4]

Come down to Lake Pontchartrain.

The crawfish were screaming, the waves

danced in time.

My friends went in deeper, the water, it

climbed.

I watched in terror, the lake opened wide.

And horribly roaring, it pulled them

inside.

That's how it happened! Why would I lie?

There were no bodies. I've got none to

hide.

I'm just a boy, lost his friends in the rain

Anymore questions, just go and ask.

Lake Pontchartrain!"

I continue to sing until I finished my shower. I got out and wrapped a fluffy, black towel around myself. I then relized that I had no clothes to change into, so I decided to go ask Snape to conjure something.

I walked out of the bathroom in the towel and headed into the kitchen. I walked in to see Snape at the table with the Daily Prophet and a cup of coffee.

"Is there more of that?" I ask when I see the coffee in his hand.

"Yes." Snape said before he lifted his head to look at me. He raises an eyebrow when he sees I'm only in a towel.

"Don't give me that look. I don't have any clean clothes and I am definitely not wearing what I wore yesterday." I said looking at him like he was crazy. He just glares at me than goes back to his paper. I look around and see a pot of coffee, a dish of sugar and small pitcher of cream.

"What cabnit are the mugs in?" I ask politely.

"Second to the right of the stove."

"Thanks." I say as I get the biggest mug I could find. I pour the still steaming coffee into the mug. I add like a ton of sugar and cream. I plop down next to Snape and sip my precious liquid of life.

Snape and I just sat there drinking our coffee. I hear the portrait open and Albus walks in.

"Good morning, Severus. Good morning Ophe..." He stops talking when he sees me in only a towel. He continues to stare at me and Sevvie. He was staring to creep me out.

"Stop looking at me old man its creepy." I say.

"Why are you in only a towel." He asks hesitantly.

I look at him and say, "Because my clothes from yesterday are gross and sweaty."

Dumbles is still staring at me, then says rather slowly, "Why didn't you ask Severus to conjure something for you?"

"I was distracted." I say holding up my cup of coffee. He just looks at me again. He than proceeded to pull out his wand and conjured something for me.

He hands me the clothes and I get up and go change in the bathroom.
