Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, nor any of the characters from the books or movies. I do not make any money from the writing of this story. |
A/N: Because
Autumnist and Company was so worried I would do it. Not an April Fools’ prank because even I’m not that cruel. Well, not usually.
Summary: How many
authors are pretentious, erm, brave enough to write a parody of their
own unfinished work? Only because
tomorrow is April Fools’ Day.

So, where did we leave off?
Oh yes.
Severus walked away.
He’d barely cleared the front entrance before colliding with
a warm, solid someone. A warm, solid
someone, who promptly let out a loud squeak and wrapped arms around his
middle. “Oh, thank God I found you!”
the someone exclaimed in a suspiciously high pitched voice. “I thought I was going to have to come in
and kidnap you. I couldn’t remember
what chapter it is.”
“What the ...?” Severus mumbled, simultaneously furious and
terrified. “Get the hell away from
me!” As he tried to glare down at the
someone, the only thing he could make out was a crown of dark hair. “And who are you anyway?”
“Oops,” the someone said, promptly dropping their arms. “Sorry I got so carried away. It’s just ...”
He’d had enough.
“Would you kindly leave me alone?” he asked icily, folding his arms and
finally managing to catch the other person’s eye.
It was definitely a she.
A fairly nondescript bespectacled she with hair so short she probably
got called ‘Sir’ at least as often as ‘Ma’am,’ wearing clothes of
dubious Muggle origins. And great
Merlin, was she speaking with an American accent?
“Look,” she was saying in a brisk tone that didn’t really
suit her voice, “I know I’m bugging the hell out of you and I know you want to
go dance in the moonlight or whatever while I do a chapter from Hermione’s
point of view, but I had to talk to you.”
Severus blinked.
“Excuse me?”
“There are so many of them,” the young woman
continued, a tinge of desperation taking the edge off of the brusqueness. “And they keep asking. Who is it?
Who did it?”
“Erm ...” he began, unsure as to exactly how to proceed from
this point, “d’you think that maybe you should be on the other side of
these doors here?” He hooked a thumb
back toward the looming mental faci ove over his shoulder.
The girl stopped gibbering momentarily and grinned widely up
at him. “I must be absolutely baffling
you, huh?”
“Quite.” His voice
was cold.
“All right, Snape,” she said, fixing him with an unreadable
look, “here’s the deal. I’m due to post
the epilogue of this story in a grand total of five days, so I don’t have time
to fuck around, buddy.”
His eyes widened at the diminutive. Buddy?
“Who did it?” she asked, frowning further. “Who killed Harry Potter? Come on, I know you know.”
“I haven’t the foggiest,” Severus said loftily, hoping
against hope that she’d go away.
Before he could even be surprised, much less angry, she
reached up and grabbed the collar of his hospital scrubs, giving them a vicious
tug. “Don’t you mess with me, Severus
Snape!” she cried. “I’ll chuck out the
original ending and throw you together in bed with Harry Potter’s reanimated
corpse for a series of steamy sex scenes in a goddamned heartbeat!”
Blanching, he jerked out of her grip. “Oh, sweet Merlin,” he moaned. “You’re ... you’re her. Hayseed.
This is all your fault.”
She smirked and he decided immediately that the expression
did not suit her. “My fault, eh?”
“You imprisoned me in a mental institution!” he
cried, dropping all pretense of staying in the character this ... this girl had
forced him into. “And sent that
damnfool Granger to bother me incessantly.
You’re just lucky I don’t have a wand on me.”
“And that would be deliberate,” Hayseed replied. “You’ll find out why later.”
Severus rolled his eyes.
“So why are you, of all people, asking me about Potter? I thought you’d finished this story weeks ago.”
“I did,” she said, her posture suddenly smacking of
defeat. “And I thought I had it all
figured out.”
Remaining silent, he felt a sly sort of grin spread across
his face, conveying his opinion of her uncertainty.
“Oh, shut up,” she snarled.
“It’s all those reviewers that’re doing it, anyway. Don’t get me wrong,” she explained quickly
to his raised eyebrow, “I like reviews.
They’re fun. But there are so
many theories and some of them are really quite good. Better than what I’d come up with, some of them. Do you know, some of them have caught
details that I missed?”
He bit his tongue.
Hayseed glared.
“Don’t you dare pull that recalcitrant mental patient thing on
me, Snape. I fucking invented
it.”
“My, my,” he retorted airily, “such language. Pray, do you kiss your mother with that
mouth of yours?”
“If you weren’t so absolutely dead sexy when you insult
people, I’d really hate you right now,” she sulked. “Here I am, just trying to do the best thing for my readers, and
all you can do is --”
Huffing impatiently, Severus cut her off. “Oh, get off it. You’ve finished the story, right? Just leave it like it is.
I’m sure it’s at least sufficient.
Unless Potter’s brat is the murderer or something. I would hate for all of Granger’s work to be
that terribly inaccurate. You
haven’t painted yourself into that corner, have you?”
“Of course not,” she sighed. “Not the murder itself, at any rate. I just ... are you sure you don’t know who did it? Some bit of foreshadowing I stuck in months
ago that you picked up on or something?”
“Sorry,” he said with the most miniscule of shrugs.
“Oh, well,” Hayseed said, wrinkling her nose in
response. “A girl can hope, can’t
she?” Suddenly, she glanced down at the
pavement, twisting her hands unattractively.
“Thanks for, erm, listening to me and not running away or making me cry
or anything.”
He inclined his head slightly in acknowledgement.
“Well ...” she drawled, clearly uncomfortable. “I guess I ought to let you get back to
whatever it is you do between chapters.
Hey, would you like a jacket or something? It’s awfully chilly out here.”
“I’m fine,” he said, not willing to admit any sort of
weakness to an author, of all people.
She continued to fidget and Severus wondered if she was ever
still. “Goodbye, then. Guess I’ll be seeing you.” And Hayseed started off down the hill, away
from the hospital.
As an afterthought, Severus cupped his hands around his
mouth as she moved away. “Oi,” he said
loudly in an effort to catch her attention, “Hayseed!”
Spinning around, she regarded him with hands on hips, her
glasses glinting unpleasantly in the moonlight. “What?”
“How does it end?” he asked mischievously.
Her teeth flashed in a grin. “Well, Françoise ditches Ron and takes up with Albus
Dumbledore. I thought maybe they’d have
a dozen children or so. And Hermione,
of course, goes after Ron, taking advantage of him in his grieving state and
popping out a handful of brats.
Kingsley Shacklebolt runs into Petunia Dursley one day at the Potter
home and it’s love at first sight. At
their wedding, then, it comes out that Dudley Dursley has been shacking up with
Draco Malfoy. And if you hadn’t already
guessed, you wind up Headmaster of Hogwarts. I hope you like lemon drops, Sev. And lots of enigmatic little Dumbledore children polluting
your school.”
His mouth flopped open.
“You mean ... I ... you little ...” he stammered, unable to formulate a
complete sentence in his state of extreme terror.
Hayseed cackled with delight at his expression. “You’re absolutely precious when
you’re gullible, you know.”
“Don’t you ever call me precious again,” he said sternly,
recovering his faculties. “Ever.”
Finally ceasing to laugh, she continued to grin at him. “Is there anything else you’d like to know
before I make my exit? I’ve got a cat
to feed and students to terrorize. I
can’t spend all of my time trading insults with you, darlin’.”
Darlin’? he thought to himself with amazement. “Who killed Harry Potter, then?”
