A/N: I wrote this to the Bruce Springsteen version of “Santa Clause is coming to town” because remembering that song was the only way I could honestly remember the words in general. So, the chorus is repeated more times than it actually is in the original version of the song.

Ode to Neville

You better watch out,

You better not cry,

You better not melt that cauldron this time!

Severus Snape is making his rounds.

Severus Snape is making his rounds,

Severus Snape is making his rounds.

He’s watchin’ your wrist,

He’s checkin’ your slice;

He’s gonna find out if you’ve read the board right.

Severus Snape is makin’ his rounds.

He knows when you’re discreetly

whispering to your mate.

He knows if you’ve used lacewing flies,

instead of doxy eggs!

So, you better watch out!

You better not cry.

He won’t suffer dunderheaded fools this time.

Severus Snape is making his rounds.

Poor Neville, this is one song he will never be heard singing.

That's uncanny, Mazzy.  I was trying to think of a filk for that song a while ago and got very similar lines LOL. I suppose " You'd better watch out" does lead one to think of a certain Potions master!

Response from sunny33 (Reviewer)

OK, so I'm an idiot.  Just looked at the other reviews.  I've read it before.  No wonder I came up with similar lines.  Just as well I only did it in my head LOL.  Forgive me!

Response from Mazzy (Author of Ode to Neville)

Well, with all the familiar themes, stories, etc. in fanfic, we all come up with similar lines really. I'm sure yours had your own special touch. :)It's funny to think about really. Even though these things may be similiar, we all have certain types of fics we seek out and they are all well loved by the reader even though they may be 'familiar'. I like MLCs and even though I read and adore some that are told differently, I also still love the 'standard' storyline as well. Thanks for commenting, even if you've already reviewed. :) Hey! ... Is this just an attempt to get the highest reviewer slot? Double reviewing?? LOL

Response from Mazzy (Author of Ode to Neville)

:) thanks. I had to sing the original in my head quite a few times to 'keep the beat' and I'm still not sure if I didn't miss a couple lines LOL
