Hello Sirius (From GoF, Chap. 2)

(To the tune of Hello Muddah Hello Fadduh)

Dedicated to Amanda Lewanski

The Scene: HARRY's bedroom on Privet Drive. After waking from a 
nightmare, he writes a letter to his godfather Sirius Black

HARRY (writing)
"Hello Sirius, my godfather
I don't want to be a bother
But I thought you'd like an owl-post
While as a fugitive you hide along some foul coast

Just to tell ya somewhat tersely
How things are here with the Dursleys
Cousin Dudley's now on rations
He was so mad he demolished his Play Station

Aunt and Uncle are both off my back 
`Cause they think that you will attack 
If they make me too afflicted 
`Cause of first-degree murder you were convicted

Now I don't want that this should scare ya
I trust you're not prone to great hysteria
But my curse scar started flamin'
Which ain't happened since I last saw Him-Not-Namin'"

(HARRY puts down his quill to reflect on his relationship with Sirius)

Were I home with my godfather
I would not live with any other 
But he's deep out in the forest
Where he's having to work like a dog

With a home, he wanted to provide for me
But when Peter as a rat did flee
He then had to run away 
He's now living as a stray

(HARRY takes up his quill again)

"So then, Sirius, my godparent,
I'm sure my that fears are all aberrant
Please let nothing your mind enter
That would draw toward you the interest of Dementors!"

(He sets down the quill once more and summons Hedwig)

In conclusion, I've said to Sirius
"That scar is nothing, it's hardly serious"
And that nightmare I won't mention - 
Now then, Hedwig, please bring this to his attention!

(Exit Hedwig)
