The Explanation

(A FILK to the tune of _The Confrontation_ from the musical _Les 
Miserables_)

Dedicated to Melody who gave me the suggestion...and to Audra, who also 
thinks that Snape makes a great Javert


If you are unfamiliar with this particular song, then it will be very 
difficult to appreciate it fully unless you listen to this link or have the 
Les Miz CD handy to sing along with.

Here it is on Real Audio (you have to temporarily download the file):

Here is a Midi (thanks CMC):

Although most of it doesn't rhyme...take my word, it does work.

********************************************************



Scene:  The Shrieking Shack.  Snape has just removed the invisibility cloak 
and has his wand out, pointing it at Sirius Black.

Snape (with a mad look in his eye and a note of triumph in his voice):

And now, at last
I finally see your plan
Lupin and Black
Two more for Azkaban

Lupin:
Before you say another word, Severus
Before you go and take him to the castle
Listen to me, you are making a mistake
You haven't heard everything we've just said
Sirius Black is not here to kill Harry
For mercy's sake, Severus hear us out
Let me explain, give us a chance
Let me explain

Snape:
I suspected you
Knew you'd be helping your old friend
Helping him into the castle
And now...here's the proof

Lupin (in counterpoint)

Listen to me, Snape you fool
Is this old school-boy grudge worth it?
Sirius Black is innocent

Black:
If I get my hands on you
The joke is on you again
As long as this boy brings the rat
I'm telling you the rat, look at the rat
Believe me, Severus Snape!

Hermione:
Professor, listen to them
Please hear what they have to say
If there is a mistake...
Professor please understand

Harry:
You are so pathetic, Snape
'Cause they made a fool of you...
I will do what I must do!
_________________________________________________________
Snape (in counterpoint):
(to Lupin)
Interesting it will be
How Dumbledore takes all this
He was sure you were harmless
Really, a *tame* werewolf...

(to Black, pointing his wand at Black's head)
Give me a reason
Give me a reason and I swear
Dementors will be so pleased
Enough to give you a kiss
Vengeance is so very sweet

(to Hermione)
Hold your tongue you stupid girl
All of you are out of bounds
Should not even talk about
What you do not understand

(to Harry)
Don't you talk to me like that
They'll have a kiss for Lupin, too
Get out of the way, you fool!

(Harry, Ron and Hermione point their wands at Snape and simultaneously cry, 
"Expelliarmus!"  Then a blast.  Snape is lifted off his feet and slammed 
into the wall, then slides down it to the floor, a trickle of blood oozing 
from under his hair.)

Hermione:
We attacked a teacher tonight...

Black:
You know you should not have done that...

Hermione:
We'll be in so much trouble now

Black:
You all should have left him to me

Harry:
This doesn't mean I believe you

Black:
Believe me, Harry...let me explain
