We Have Gotta Find a Date (from GoF, Chap. 22-23)

(To the tune of There is Nothing Like a Dame, from South Pacific)

Dedicated to all shippers of every denomination (may your posts may 
approved by ADMIN!)

THE SCENE: Gryffindor Common Area. Enter HARRY & RON, looking very 
disconcerted 

HP: He's got crafty older brothers who invented Tongue Toffees
RW: He's got spells from Lupin that can bring dementors to their knees
BOTH: We've got camaraderie that we're describing as first-rate
What ain't we got? We ain't got dates!

RW: He's got triumphs in Triwizards that he won upon his broom
HP: He's got posters for the Chudley Cannons plastering his room
RW: He's got magical defenses that put Voldy in eclipse
BOTH: What ain't we got? We ain't got ships!

HP:  I have just been ordered to find a dance partner to open the 
Yule Ball by Professor McGonagall 
And she made it clear that she was not in any way shape or form being 
ironical 

BOTH: We've now got to find a date
Somewhere in the school 
We can't help but curse the fates
Which compel us to hunt for dates

We feel edgy, we feel tense
We feel nervous to the max
When we see these girls a-giggling
While they're all roaming in packs
We feel anxious when we think of 
Asking one of them to dance

What do we feel?
It ain't romance!

RW: I finally got up the nerve to ask Fleur, who's so dazzlingly 
beautiful due to being part-Veela 
But she simply looked at me with immense disdain, and haughtily 
strode away, whilst exclaiming "Get real-a!"

BOTH: We don't want to ask for dates
No one in the school
Rejection can so irritate 
When they tell us "No" for a date

RW: Harry asked Cho for a date
But she's accepted Ced
HP: Ron asked Herm but it's too late
So he's feeling a bit irate

RW: Nothing to which I less relate
Nothing, like I said

HP: What Nixon thought of Watergate
Is the same thing we think of dates

BOTH: There is absolutely nothing like our state toward these dates!

RW: Harry's getting asked for dates
By some quite attractive girls
But they're more in height and weight
And they're making his hair curl

HP: I thought I could take Ginny
But she told me "Surely Not!"

BOTH: Neville, for once, 
Was not forgot!

(Segue to the Entrance Hall, with HARRY and RON in formal attire, 
escorting the Parvati twins)

Naught else can so agitate
Or can so humiliate 
Can so much devastate
Can so exasperate
Make us both palpitate
So let's reiterate
It is gonna seem longer than a lecture by Binns
To attend this ball with Parvati twins
On a dang'rous, desolate, daunting, desparate, date!

McGONAGALL (spoken) Champions, over here, please!
