You Can Leave Your Hat On

Chapter Eight

\"You Can Leave Your Hat On\" (I like the version by Tom Jones.)

Baby, take off your coat, real slow.
Baby, take off your shoes. I\'ll help you take off your shoes.
Baby, take off your dress. Yes, yes, yes.

You can leave your hat on.
You can leave your hat on.
You can leave your hat on.

Go over there, turn on the light. No, all the lights.
Come back here, stand on the chair. Ooh, baby, that\'s right!
Raise your arms in the air, now shake \'em.

You give me reason to live.
You give me reason to live.
You give me reason to live.
You can leave your hat on!

Suspicious minds are talking. That\'s right, they\'ll tear us apart.
They don\'t believe in this love of ours.
They don\'t know what love is.
They don\'t know what love is.
I know what love is.
You can leave your hat on.
You can.

\"Miss Granger, I hardly see how it is necessary to accost me in the halls in front of countless students!\"

\"Well, would you have listened to me if I had sent a pretty pink note with perfume, requesting your presence in my office?\"

\"As a matter of fact...\"

\"Nevermind, Severus. I really should know you better by now.\"

\"Hermione, as wonderful as it is to be dragged into a dark, empty classroom by a devastatingly gorgeous witch, I must admit that I\'m curious as to your intentions.”

“Severus… I just had to warn you…”

“Out with it, Granger!”

“Oh, bloody hell! Sibyll and I are getting our final, ultimate revenge tonight on the men at dinner. Because I truly don’t want to see you carry this out, I strongly advise you NOT to drink your pumpkin juice with dinner!”

“Thank you, Hermione. So… What did you two come up with?… Why are you smirking? That bad? Merlin…”


*****


The women professors of Hogwarts entered the Great Hall together come dinner time, all wearing identical smug looks on their faces. Dumbledore, Flitwick, Hagrid, and Filch looked on in suspicion. Severus, having already been informed of the foul play that was to occur, sat calmly at his chair, unfolding his napkin into his lap.

Each taking their seats, the women tried their best to contain their smiles. Finally, Sibyll burst into giggles, followed quickly by Pomona and Minerva. Hermione remained silent, though a small smile turned the corners of her lips slightly. Flitwick looked over at Dumbledore, who merely shrugged and picked up his utensils. The students noticed nothing of the whole exchange.

Just then, dinner appeared. Though they sipped at their pumpkin juice, the women kept stealing glances over at the semi-oblivious men. Hermione kept track of which men had taken sips of their evening beverages, grinning fully once Hagrid finally took a few gulps of his.

Hermione reached into a pocket and enlarged a boom box, which she’d charmed just for the occasion to play inside of Hogwarts. Pointing her wand at her throat, she muttered, “Sonorous!” Then, “Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention!”

The men exchanged glances. Severus looked up from his plate to watch what was to happen.

Hermione snickered, then announced, “The Gentlemen Professors of Hogwarts!!!”

The lights of the Great Hall dimmed and spotlights flickered on, pointing directly to the unfortunate men present at the High Table. Hermione triumphantly pressed down the button on the boom box labeled “play.” Much to the amusement of Minerva, Poppy, Pomona, Sibyll, and Hermione (and the displeasure of the students), the opening bars of “The Stripper” blared from the speakers.

The male professors suddenly jumped onto the High Table and began performing a full-out striptease in front of the entire school!

Severus groaned. So this was what Hermione and Sibyll had planned! Personally, Severus thought he could have lived the rest of his life without ever having seen Albus strip down to his skivvies.

Before things got too out of hand, Hermione put an end to the potion-induced frenzy with a charm. Dumbledore, Flitwick, Hagrid, and Filch all quickly scurried off the table and hastily returned themselves back to their original, fully-clothed states. The women cheered and whistled at the men, embarrassing them to no end.

Dumbledore cleared his throat. “It seems that the women have outdone us! To save our dignity, I speak on behalf of everyone in announcing the resignation of the men! Ladies, I believe we owe you refreshments at this week’s Staff Party?” All of the women in the Great Hall burst into applause, including the female students.

Severus turned in his seat to face Hermione, who was seated next to him. “How can I repay you for the merciful warning?”

Hermione grinned. “I’ll bring the music with me when I visit your quarters after dinner, and you can give me a private show…”

Severus smirked. \"But of course, milady!\"

Turing back her dessert, Hermione thought to herself, \'And after that, I can remind him to repay me for the blackboard prank...\'

Both professors thought blissfully to themselves that their evening could not get any better.
