Yay for Banana Thursday


Severus Snape plopped down at the Slytherin table with a loud sigh. Banana Thursday was his least favorite day of the week. Due to an unfortunate accident when he was 7, anytime he ingested bananas, his hair turned a rather ugly shade of yellow that could be described as ‘vomit’

”Blasted bananas,” he muttered as he attempted to stare down the bowl in front of him. The majority of his housemates had learned to avoid Severus as much as possible on Banana Thursday. On a good day he was surly, but on Banana Thursday, he could smite one with a single glance.

Severus continued to stare at the bowl of bananas willing them to melt when suddenly the air was filled with acrylic smelling droplets.

“Aiiiiiiiiiiiii!” yelped Severus as he scrambled away.

“Got you!” exclaimed a voice from his left.

Severus whipped his head around and stared through narrowed eyes at his attacker.

“James Potter,” he sneered, “On another note, I absolutely LOVE your tie. You really are a true autumn.”

James flashed Severus a toothy smile and revealed a metal canister from behind his back.

“You MUST try my new hairspray. It’s the perfect combination of hold and volume,” he stated, waving the canister.

Severus raised an eyebrow and attempted to read the writing on the canister. He would profess his love to the Giant Squid before allowing anyone to spray an unknown substance on his hair.

“Only the best for me,” he said running a hand through his dark locks. “Let me see that,” he commanded as he tried to grab the canister from James’ hand.

James, who was caught up in his fantasy of volume and hold was completely oblivious. His eyes widened and his expression turned serious all of a sudden.

“PIE!” he exclaimed. “I must have some! This very instant!”

James looked wildly around the Great Hall for a stray pie, but to his dismay, didn’t see any. Severus merely glanced at his watch and tapped his foot.

“And three, two, one,” he counted.

“NOOOOOO!!! Pie, why hast thou deserted me?” James wailed as he dropped to his knees. “I promised to love you forever! Now you’ve left me this broken shell of a man!”
Severus allowed James a moment to compose himself before petting his head.

“You all finished now?” he asked.

James stood and brushed himself off before answering, “Quite. Now how about a banana?”
