Here is my video for the third task of Pottertube: a horror video. And as I was making this, I realized that I really don't watch horror movies much at all... so I hope this works somehow.
Time for the plot! It's a little AU in some places, so bare with me.
Severus Snape had always loved Lily Evans, and when she died, it left him worse than ever. He had forgotten the meaning of life, and would feel eternal hatred toward the man Lily had chosen over him: James Potter. He broods on his tormented memories at his house on Spinner's End, which for the purpose of this video is located high on a hill, and is also filled with ghosts, the most important one being the ghost of his beloved Lily.
During the summer holidays, Dumbledore decides the safest place for Harry, Ron, and Hermione to be is with Snape at his house. This news is resented by all four of them immediately. Snape insists the trio always stay in their room, but never ones for obeying rules, the trio sneak out anyway. As Snape spends yet another evening remembering Lily, Harry finds the Mirror of Erised and gazes longingly at it as he sees his parents there, unknowing of their very ghosts being in the room with him. Snape discovers Harry in the room, and immediately jealous, pulls him out, fearing that Harry will discover how much he loved his mother, and at the same time, seeing James in Harry and wanting the revenge he never had.
So he begins to plot it out, much to Lily's disappointment. The trio continue to sneak around Snape's house and find pictures of Lily and Snape's own journal, and begin to unravel Snape's secret past as a heartless Death Eater and how he loved Lily.
Finally feeling scared to bits, the trio decide that it's time to escape, but Snape has foreseen this and locked the house down. The spirits are on Snape's side, and help to block, torture, and capture the trio on their way to escape. Snape grabs Harry and drags him down to the dungeon of his dark despair, where he vows to finally be triumphant over "James" Potter once and for all....
Right. Well. I hope you enjoy this video, the plot is somewhat random, I think.
Also, I couldn't fit all my credits into the time limit, so:
As always, I own nothing here except my plot! (which is based on things from the HP books anyway, so it's still not really mine).
Films: Harry Potter 1-5
Music: "House Upon the Hill" from The Secret Garden. I couldn't get ahold of the Original London Recording, so I've used audio from the Bergen County Academies' production, which I quite like everything in their show. Check them out.
And also, I used "Summer Overture" from Requium for a Dream.
