A FILK for The Leaky Cauldron

[heiditandy <heidit@netbox.com>]

As many of you know, today (UK time, that is) The Leaky Cauldron is 
going to be bidding on the 93 word card that JK Rowling donated to 
Book Aid International - the auction will be at Sotheby's. 

On Wednesday, inspired by an email from one of our donors, I wrote 
this FILK in a fit of t00by madness. 

Enjoy. And please, cross your fingers.
