Both Sides Now (a filk about Treason)

(To the tune of Both Sides Now)

Dedicated to Amy Z

THE SCENE: Before Hogwarts' Castle. Enter HARRY, WORMTAIL, LUCIUS 
MALFOY,and SNAPE

HARRY (to WORMTAIL)
Lord Voldemort became your boss, your true friends you then double-
crossed
You've hid in fear ever since his loss, in a sordid rodent form
But now your secret's been exposed, a penalty will be imposed
To Azkaban you'll be deposed, so don't dare to transform!

WORMTAIL
I've been a rat on both sides now
I've broken what were sacred vows
Although it's hard and not much fun
I must look out for Number One

HARRY
Wealth and fame and high estate is what makes the Malfoy clan so great
And yet they are so warped by hate of all that's good and chaste
It's a lack of their maturity that they're so obsessed with purity
And so to gain security, have with Voldy interfaced 

LUCIUS
I've been a snitch for both sides now
Lord Voldemort I've disavowed
But if a comeback he's begun
I must look out for Number One

HARRY
Bugs and shrubs and gillyweed isn't all that Severus Snape will need
His harshest critics must concede that he's earned Dumbledore's trust
In the midst of the Dark Wizards' strife, he once ate death, he now 
eats life, 
Yet with suspicion we are rife, for Snape makes us nonplussed

SNAPE 
I've mixed up brews for both sides now
I've made mistakes I disavow
I side with angels and the Sun
But still I think of Number One.....
