Expecto (from PoA, Chap. 12)

(To the tune of Let it Snow)

Dedicated to Amy Z & David

(THE SCENE: The History of Magic classroom.  LUPIN commences anti-
dementor lessons with HARRY)

LUPIN
If dementors should prove a nuisance
There's a spell you need but do once
Toward the exit ramps they will flow
Expecto Expecto Expecto

It may be hard at first to crack this
So with boggarts we will practice
Pick the happiest thought you know
Expecto Expecto Expecto

HARRY
When I first soared into the sky
I felt great, but I'm still blackin' out
But telling Privet Drive "goodbye,"
Was elation beyond all doubt

(Harry is able to produce a cloudy Patronus to confront the Boggart. 
Lupin banishes the Boggart back into the packing case)

LUPIN
Your Patronus will prove unique `n'
It will silence your mum's shriekin'.
If attacked by your cloakèd foes

BOTH
They'll eat crow, they'll eat crow, they'll eat crow
