Fly Brooms (from HP/SS, Chap. 9)

(To the tune of High Hopes)

(THE SCENE: Hogwarts' Quidditch field. Madam Hooch has just departed 
to the infirmary with Neville, who was injured in a fall.  Ignoring 
her explicit instructions to cease and desist from further flying, 
HARRY takes off in full broomstick-pursuit of Draco Malfoy when the 
latter fails to return a trinket belonging to Neville.  Suddenly, 
Prof. McGonagall and the entire Gryffindor Quidditch team appears.  
HARRY is initially abashed; Draco smirks, relishing what he believes 
will be disciplinary action against HARRY)

McGONAGALL
When Neville got hurt, Hooch said leave brooms inert
A message Potter ignored: says this alert......

CHORUS OF SLYTHERIN STUDENTS
Hey there, Potter, step to the rear
Playing Quidditch is beyond your sphere
We know that no first-year here
Can in a match appear

McGONAGALL AND OLIVER WOOD
But he can fly brooms, in the sky zoom
If we make room and then groom him we can assume 
That they'll be no more ditherin' 
When we play Slytherin
Slytherin's gonna be doomed! 
>From the tomb their bodies will be exhumed!

GRYFFINDOR TEAM
>From the tomb their bodies will be exhumed!

GEORGE AND FRED
When it's time for the season's first game
Remember the house cup will win us acclaim
And since we all share that same game aim
Here's what we're going to claim....

GRYFFINDOR TEAM & McGONAGALL
That when he flies brooms, he ends our gloom
He will loom in full bloom in a Quidditch costume
Young Harry has found his niche
With the Golden Snitch
Slytherin's toast, we presume!
Snape that Slytherin ape is going to fume!

GEORGE AND FRED
Snape that Slytherin ape is going to fume!

HARRY
So let me fly brooms, in the sky zoom
When play resumes, give me my broom, our foes I'll consume! 
`Cause when I fly for Gryffindor
Gryffindor will soar
Keep your eyes on the score!
You will see that scoreboard going kaboom!

GRYFFINDOR TEAM & McGONAGALL
We will see that scoreboard going kaboom!
