THE SCENE: The Great Hall of Hogwarts, Spring of 1994. Enter PERCY 
WEASLEY. Exulting in his status as Barty Crouch's substitute, he 
reviews the path that bought him here.

PERCY
Oh, yes, I'm greatly pretentious
Ron clenches his teeth when I say,
"To become prefect one augments affect
Each statute you swiftly obey"

Oh, yes, I have been contentious
A mensch is not how I've been tagged
I glowed with joy when named Head Boy, 
I ignored Fred and George while they gagged

So gallant my talent that it topped this class
But my siblings keep scribbling I'm just a pompous ass

Oh, yes, I can be sententious
Entrenched in a Ministry post
Though misnamed Weatherby I impress Penelope 
Crouch Senior is always my boast

My brothers might bother me when they deride
But my mother and father feel unalloyed pride

Oh, yes, I'm greatly ambitious
Propitious circumstances have proved
Since Crouch became ill, I now his slot fill
This prefect to power has moved,
>From Head Boy to Head Man improved.
