The Brat I Enabled 

Dedicated to Angela Boyko

(To the tune of Cat in the Cradle)

(The Scene: The Malfoy Estate. Enter LUCIUS MALFOY and DRACO MALFOY, 
as a toddler)

LM: Draco my son was born to wealth and fame
Would he add luster to our family name?
As I watched him eating in his lobster bib
I had this horrible feeling he'd turn out a squib
But as soon as he could talk I knew he gave me a clue
He said  
 DM  (as toddler) I'm gonna root for You-Know-Who, Dad
You know that I'll serve You-Know-Who

LM: That's the brat I've enabled with a silver spoon
Who with Death Eaters will one day commune
DM (as toddler): When will He come back, Dad?
LM: I don't know when
We're gonna have a good time then son
BOTH: We're gonna fry some Mudbloods then!

(Dissolve to the teen DRACO)

LM: Draco went to Hogwarts on that Express train
His demeanor dripped with ice-cold disdain
He was placed in Slytherin by the Sorting Hat
As if there were ever any doubt of that 
And he sent an owl to me after his debut
That said  
DM: (as teen) I'll always root for You-Know-Who, Dad
You know that I'll serve You-Know-Who

LM: You're the brat I enabled with a silver spoon
Got you on the team with a high-priced broom
DM: When will He come back, Dad?
LM: I don't know when
We're gonna have a good time then son
BOTH: You're/I'm gonna get your/my Dark Mark then!

LM: Enrolled in Hogwarts he did real fine
Beat up kids from Hufflepuff all the time
Got nice and cozy with Professor Snape
But he needed to get his grades in better shape
Cause that Granger girl was doing better than you
He said 
DM: I'm so busy serving You-Know-Who, Dad
I root so hard for You-Know-Who.

LM:  He's the brat I enabled with a silver spoon
Who makes every fan of black leather swoon
DM: Is He ever coming back, Dad?
LM: Quite soon and then
We're gonna have a good time when son
BOTH: We slaughter Harry Potter then!

LM: Now the Dark Lord is back and aren't we ever glad!
We're all proud to join his new jihad
After Cedric was killed I was pleased to note
That Draco put aside a little time to gloat
When I said they'll be some changes made long overdue
He said  
DM: You-Know-Who at last came through, Dad
Can't wait till I serve You-Know-Who

BOTH: Here's/I'm the brat I've/you've enabled with a
silver spoon
He's/I'm home for the summer every year in June
DM: Am I going back to Hogwarts, Dad?
LM: I don't see how
But we're gonna have a good time now son
BOTH: We'll both be Unforgiven now!
