ABERFORTH!
A filk by Pippin
To the tune of "Camelot"

Dedicated to Mike Gray 

Scene: Hagrid's Hut
Present: Hagrid, Dumbledore, Harry, Ron and Hermione.
 

DUMBLEDORE
Since taking office here at jolly Hogwarts
A week has hardly passed without an owl
Alleging some non-standard deviation
Or other foul

I do not barricade my office entrance
Or lock the door and throw away the key
For there's a man whose brav'ry and insouciance
Inspires me

Aberforth! Aberforth!
They say he went a bit too far
Good old Aberforth! Aberforth!
In charming goats to be bizarre

They printed nasty things  about his  habit
(it's true I can't be sure that they were read)
They hollered for his throat
But  could not get his goat
His head held high, he sallied forth
My brother, Aberforth!

HARRY
Aberforth! Aberforth!
For other families have black sheep
Aberforth! Aberforth!
And skeletons in closets keep

HAGRID
My Dad'd be ashamed if he could see me
He'd say  don't be ashamed of what yeh are
No longer will I sob
I'll go and do me job

HARRY, HERMIONE AND RON
He won't be sulking here henceforth
He'll think of Aberforth!
