“You know what I miss most about life, Sniv?” Sirius mused.

Snape rolled his eyes. “Shagging Lupin.”

“Apart from that.”

“Shagging Potter.”

“And that.”

“Please do not tell me you miss shagging Wormtail or I shall defy the laws of metaphysics and be violently ill.”

“Mars bars.”

“What?”

“Mars bars. C’mon, Sniv, you’re half Muggle, you must have eaten tons of them.”

“Quite possibly, Black, but I should hardly consider the lack of gooey confectionary to be my greatest regret in the afterlife.”

“Nah, you’re probably right. All right, shagging Moony it is.” Sirius paused, grinning. “With a Mars bar.”

See here. I was going to write you a comment drabble, but they just wouldn't shut up... ;P

Thank you! You've inspired an almost-10-pm run for candy! ;)


Awhile ago, I was talking to my daughter about zombie invasion and I mentioned that we couldn't sit back and live on Mars bars (don't ask) and she had no idea what I was talking about. Apparently now they're Snickers with almonds, here.

[drachenmina]

Almonds in Mars bars? *throws up hands in horror* But that would make them less gooey!

I'll stick with the British version ;P

There was a candy bar in America called a Mars bar, but it was completely different from what the British call a Mars bar, which is like our Milky Way bar, which, in turn, is unlike the British Milky Way bar, which is like the American Three Musketeers bar. The American Mars bar had white nougat, almonds, caramel (I think), and was coated in milk chocolate. It was discontinued in 2000 or thereabouts, and a couple of years later the similar-but-not-quite-the-same Snickers Almond hit the American marketplace.

All you really need to know from all that is that Severus, in my Drabbles o' the Week, doesn't care if the American Milky way is similar to the British Mars bar. He wants a REAL Mars bar, and he wants it now. ;-)

jumping on the whole mars/snickers bandwagon. Snickers are a totally different chocolate bar. Mars is really sweet and gooey and fantastic when its melted down to make Mars bar slice. I have tried Mars with almonds in the past they are ok but nothing beats the original!

Now the drabble: Fantastic and innovative use of the prompt! Very amusing!

Glad you enjoyed it! Mmm, there's nothing quite like a proper Mars bar, is there? :P

This is good. ;-) I especially like the line about Wormtail and the laws of metaphysics. The only thing I didn't like was... Dead Severus. :-(

But then I got to thinking: O.K. So they ran out of bezoars and antivenin and dittany, and Fawkes apparently got lost en route to the Shrieking Shack, but--someone, just in the nick of time, pulled out... A MARS BAR! An authentic British Mars bar! And, voila! Severus Lives!

Of course he has to die eventually, at which time he will be happily snarking with Sirius in the Afterlife.

Well, it's well known that a Mars a day helps you work, rest and play.

And, presumably, recover from seemingly fatal snake bites! :D

Glad you enjoyed!
