babygrayThere's a paranda song called 'Paranda de Sopon' that I've been enjoying lately. The story the song tells is a simple one: At two o'clock in the morning, the singers ate some great ckicken soup (the sopon), only to develop terrible stomach aches at dawn. The chicken was taken from the yard, killed, cooked up, and eaten by everyone at the party, and not a bone was left. The rooster, awaken by the noise, couldn't believe his eyes and went crazy, but by dawn he was a widower. The singers end be claiming the upset stomachs was a results of a curse the rooster cast on them, noting the fact that the rooster was laughing.
The lyrics (in Spanish, mind you), can be found here: http://www.prfrogui.com/home/PARRANDA%20SOPON.htm
Now... why am I posting this here? Well, on the way home, I thought I had a great idea for a story based on this song... something utterly Snarry. But, now that I sat down for the first time all day (pretty much), I somehow don't think it's as great an idea as I did just a half-hour ago. The hen would be Harry, but who would he be slaughtered and 'eaten' by? Death Eaters? Too much violent sexual context for me.
The wizarding world? While that is completely within canon (he's already on the way to the sacrificial altar for them), why would Snape want to curse the public because of it? The rooster is not a part of the party; he's an outsider. Snape, though on the fringes, can't be as Other as the rooster, and I can't see him cursing the world. The Death Eaters, sure, but that takes back the sexual violence route, and I just can't do that.
That said, I thought this dud of an idea here, because I sure as hell won't use it.
The doodle is from my journal. I was playing with a new pen.
