We'll Be the Champions (From GoF, Chapter 31)

(To the tune of We Are the Champions)

Dedicated to Amanda Lewanski

THE SCENE: The center of the maze, the third Triwizards task.  With 
every obstacle surmounted, HARRY must seemingly resign himself to a 
second-place finish as the prize lies closest to CEDRIC's grasp)

HARRY
I've dodged the Skrewt
Answered the Sphinx
I've run the good race
But I've met with a jinx

This leg mishap
Makes me too slow
So Ced will now take the cup and first place
Like he won Cho

He'll be the champion, this shows
He'll get the prize and girl at the close
He'll be the champion
Of this European
Contest of Wizards
While I'm the plebian – of our school.

CEDRIC
I could take the cup 
In Hufflepuff's name
Deprived of rank and glory 
For centuries and more, they say,
Bereft of fame 

(to HARRY) But here's what my heart discloses
You gave me clues
You assisted me throughout the entirety of this race
So to you I must lose

You be the champion, my mate

HARRY 
We'll both prevail if it's a stalemate
I'm Alphonse, you're Gaston
The conclusion's foregone
For sole glory why aim?
We'll make this a tie game – that's my word

BOTH (joining hands, exultantly)
We'll be the champions, my friend
We both helped one another till the end 
We've beaten Fleur and Krum
A team we have become!
This time we're both first
We two are the champions....

(They simultaneously grasp the Triwizards Cup
..)

                         ....of Hogwarts!

(....and vanish)
