One Turner of Time

(To the tune of One Moment in Time)

Dedicated to Lisa

THE SCENE: Gryffindor common area.  Enter HERMIONE

HERMIONE
Each class I take
I want to be
A class that makes
Me scholarly
I'm only one
I have no clone
There's magic yet
To me unknown
 
To know, I yearn - 
Despite each "A"
That I have earned
I feel dismay
To take each course
Would reinforce
All I would learn

I want one turner of time,
In more places than you thought I could be
When all of my classes are coincident 
Ev'ry answer will be known to me
Give me one turner of time
When I'm racing to History 
Then with that same turner of time
I will attend 
I will attend Arithmancy

I want each course 
On my transcript
I'll be discreet
My mouth is zipped
Rewards I'll reap
I'll gain such sweep
I'll give up sleep

Give me one turner of time
The curriculum in totality  
When all of my textbooks I have memorized 
Each topic will be mastered by me
Give me one turner of time
When I'm dashing to Herbol'gy
Then with that same turner of time
I will take
I will take Muggle Studies

I can rescue now two lifelines 
If I seize that one turner of time
Make it chime!

Give me one turner of time
Black and Buckbeak's lives I will guarantee
Harry's Patronus will be hoofbeats away 
We will not have to change history
Give me one turner of time
So Sirius from the tower can flee 
Then with that same turner of time
He will be
He will be
He will be free
He will be
He will be free!
