Can Buckbeak Get to Black in Time? (PoA, Chap. 21)

(To the tune of Get Me to the Church on Time, from My Fair Lady)

Dedicated to Catherine (who recently called for more MFL filks)

THE SCENE: The Entrance Hall, June 6 1993, 9 p.m. in the evening. The 
time-turning HARRY & HERMIONE suddenly appear, and immediately duck 
into a broom closet

HARRY
We are both doing a 180
It's 9 p.m., so say the chimes
We'll solve this crisis
With magic devices
Hermione has turned the time

HERMIONE
We must now make our way to Hagrid's
We must not be seen, that is prime!
If we should falter
The future we'll alter
We must not change the course of time

If we see Hagrid, better step inside
If we see ourselves, better duck and hide!

(Making their way to Hagrid's hut, HARRY and HERMIONE witness their 
past selves emerging)

BOTH
It's strange to eavesdrop on our past selves
Surely this is no nursery rhyme
It will not be fun 
This whole scene to rerun
Can Buckbeak get to Black, can we get him on track,
Can we get Buckbeak there to Black in time?

HERMIONE
We know that Buckbeak can be stubborn
He won't leave the scene of the crime
Mcnair'll be axin'
If our speed's not maxin'
And Buckbeak won't reach Black in time

HARRY
I thought my dad was my redeemer
But the form which I saw was mine
I cried Expecto!
Then Prongs came direct-o
Dementors won't get us this time

Grab a seat on Buckbeak `bove his hips 
`Cause dementors are puckering their lips! 

(With HARRY and HERMIONE gripping him tightly, Buckbeak soars toward 
the West Tower in which Sirius Black is held prisoner).

BOTH
We're soaring upward in the moonlight
Higher and higher Buckbeak climbs
We now discover
Why he's on the cover
We got Buckbeak to Black
Let Corny catch the flack
Because Buckbeak has got to Black in time
