Mr. Humbug Challenge
Pairing: Severus Snape/Harry Potter
**************
I was flicking TV channels and caught a bit of A Muppet Christmas Carol. Part of one of the songs got stuck in my head and made me instantly think of Snape. So I decided to write this challenge.
**************
So, the following lines from the song MUST be included. I will put the whole song at the end of the challenge for those who may want to use other parts of it.
OH! There goes Mr. Humbug,
There goes mister Grim
If they gave a prize for bein' mean
The winner would be him
The song must be aimed at Snape, either as a prank or whatever you come up with.
***********
I would prefer this to be set during Hogwarts, ‘cause it’s more fun that way!
I would like there to be sex between Harry and Severus, the hotter the better! I don’t really want there to be an established relationship between them but if it works better for you then go ahead.
Er, I have no other real requirements but feel free to email me if you have any questions or anything.
My email is mistress_of_malfoy@hotmail.co.uk
If you do email me please include the title of the challenge in your email.

The whole song:
The Muppets
Ebenezer Scrooge (From A Muppets Christmas Carol) lyrics
When a cold wind blows it chills you,
Chills you to the bone
But there's nothin' in nature that freezes your heart
Like years of bein' alone
Its paints you with indifference,
Like a lady paints with rouge
And the worst of the worst,
The most hated and cursed
Is the one that we call Scrooge
Un kind as any,
And the wrath of many,
This is that Ebenezer Scrooge
OH! There goes Mr. Humbug,
There goes mister Grim
If they gave a prize for bein' mean
The winner would be him
Oh, Scroogey loves his money
Cause he thinks it gives him power
If he became a flavor, you can bet he would be sour
(Even the vegetables don't like him!)
There goes mister Skin flint
There goes mister Greed
The undisputed master of the under-handed deed
He charges folks a fortune for his dark and drafty houses
Us small folk live in misery
Its even worse for mouses
(Please sir, I want some cheese)
He must be so lonely
He must be so sad
He goes to extremes to convince us he´sbad
He´s really a victem of fear and of pride
Look close and there must be a sweet man inside
Nah! Uh-Uh!
There goes mister outrage,
There goes mister sneer
He has no time for friends or fun
His anger makes that clear
Don't ask him for a favor cause his nastiness increases
No crust of bread for those in need
No cheeses for us mices
(Gonzo/Charles Dickens: Scrooge liked the cold
He was hard and sharp as a flint
Secret and self contained
As solitary as an oyster)
There goes mister Heartless
there goes mister Cruel
He never gives
He only takes
He lets his hunger rule
If being mean´s A way of life
He´ll practice and Rehearse
And all that work is payin' off
Cause Scrooge is getting worse
Everyday in everyway
Scrooge is getting worse!
