Snape's Grudge

(A FILK by Gail Bohacek to the tune of _Javert's Suicide_ from the musical 
Les Miserables)


Dedicated to Melody
And the Schuylkill Library in Philadelphia for having such an amazing 
collection of CDs on loan.



Snape:

That Sirius Black
Thought he was being funny
He sent me down to a trap
And Potter had to save me
A highly amusing joke
That would have ended in death
Had not Potter
Pulled me out from the depths
Lupin was there
A werewolf at the Shack
Their stupid prank
At the last moment, brought back
Damn it, I have a life debt to Potter
Damn it, I have this hanging over my head
I'm not a fool and I shall not be mocked
Would have been better had he left me for dead
There's been nothing but hostility
It has always been him versus me!

How can I now repay this man
Of this life debt that I owe?
This arrogant man whom I have hated
He saved my life but he died long ago
Potter was killed by Voldemort
By the Dark Lord
By the Dark Lord I once served well
He is now dead, I live in hell
Now many years later
Potter's young son, Harry
He's so much like his father
The resemblance, uncanny
When I look at this Potter boy
Reminded after all these years
My heart is hard and yet I still need
To make this life debt somehow disappear
At the Quidditch game Harry played
He did not know
I was saving his life that day
>From the hex of Professor Quirrell
I try to let go but I can't
And my hate grows more and more
As I try to protect him
As I try to settle the score
I'll be released now from this debt
>From this debt of James Potter
Then I'll finally be at peace
Then maybe it will be over...
