Snape's secret

So, picture this: Serverus Snape, the brooding potions master of Hogwarts, is feeling a little... off. I mean, we're not talking about the usual gloominess from grading homework that's barely legible. No, Snape is suddenly hit with a wave of nausea that could rival a third year after a Butterbeer binge.

He's sitting in his dimly lit dungeon (because, of course, that's where all life's problems are best contemplated), and it cracks in his head-could it be possible? Could he, Severus Snape, be pregnant? Now, before you clutch your pearls and faint, let's rewind a bit. Just two to three weeks ago, our favorite gloomy wizard had a rather questionable rendezvous. Details are fuzzy (thankfully), but let's just say it involved a risky potion and perhaps a little too much firewhisky.

Fast forward to today, and after consulting some very dodgy magical "What's Happening to My Body?" scrolls, Snape decides to take a pregnancy test. Now, if anyone thinks he'd use a Muggle test, think again! This is Severus Snape, after all. Picture him stirring a cauldron with a little "Baby Be Gone" potion mixed with a dash of "I Wish This Wasn't Happening."

When the result flashes positive, Snape's initial thought is, "Great. Just great. How do I explain this to Dumbledore?" I mean, forget the Death Eaters; Snape has a bigger problem on his hands-what's his potion for morning sickness? Do they even make Stomach Settling Serums for wizards?

His life is about to get a whole lot weirder, and who knows? Maybe it'll inspire a new kind of potion-"Expecto Patrum" for all the expectant wizards out there.

So, cheers to you, Severus Snape! Here's hoping your next potion doesn't come with a side of baby. And who knows? Maybe the world isn't ready for a mini Slytherin.
