N-V-B-L (HBP, Chap. 9)

To the tune of the austere and solemn Village People classic YMCA

THE SCENE: Snape's DADA class. SNAPE shamelessly exploits a hit tune 
to ingratiate himself with the student populace.

SNAPE:
Students, learning Dark Arts Defense
I said, students, you'll avoid consequence
If you're prudent and if you're not too dense
To just heed this screed from Snapey

Students, when you're facing a foe
I said, students, turn the sound way down low
If you're silent, there is no need to show
Anyone what hex you're handling

SNAPE & STUDENTS
You cast a spell that is N-V-B-L
You cast a spell that is N-V-B-L
When an evil thing that attacks and destroys
You can fight it without the noise. 

You cast a spell that is N-V-B-L
You cast a spell that is N-V-B-L
When you're fighting DEs
It can give you the edge
With a split-second advantage.

SNAPE:
You've had Dark Arts Teachers before
But then all five when straight out through the door
I said, students, you've learned nothing, it seems
So you've got to follow Snape's theme.

Dark Arts are unfixed and severe
So then, be smart, make it so they can't hear
We'll now try it, from the Sixth Book of Spells
You'll repel with N-V-B-L

SNAPE & STUDENTS
You cast a spell that is N-V-B-L
You cast a spell that is N-V-B-L
When some evil thing wants to murder and crush
You can conquer if you keep hush.

You cast a spell that is N-V-B-L
You cast a spell that is N-V-B-L
You do not say a word
You do not move your lips
You just quietly let it rip.

SNAPE
Students, split up in groups of two
It is time for a nonverbal duel
Let your partner cast an unspoken jinx
Which you'll block silent as a sphinx

HARRY
That's when Snapey came up to me
And said, "Potter, go one-on-one with me."
So I then thought, "Go ahead, make my day!" 
For there's no way that I'll obey.

HARRY & RON
A class with Snape is not enviable
A class with Snape is not enviable
He loves nothing more than detentions to give
He's a misfit unfit to live. 

CHORUS OF STUDENTS (slowing fading away)
Enviable 
A class with Snape is not enviable
A class with Snape is not enviable
Potter, Potter, you must call Snapey "sir"
Potter, Potter, or he'll get you for sure

N-V-B-L
Cast a spell that's N-V-B-L
Potter, Potter, do not give Snapey cheek,
Potter, Potter, or detention for a week
