Day-Mare Retriever/Class-Skipper (from GoF, Chap. 29)

Dedicated to Jenny of Ravenclaw

NOTE: I'm using two different songs to dramatize this chapter. 
Harry's portion is sung to the tune of Daydream Believer, and 
Trelawney's to the tune of Day Tripper.

Hear Daydream Believer at:

THE SCENE: Trelawney's classroom. HARRY dozes off during her lecture 
on planetary divination, and has a terrifying "day-mare" about 
Voldemort

HARRY
Oh, dreamt I flew on the wings of an owl in early Spring
An ivy-covered house we're entering
There's hissing and I spy a man with wat'ry eyes
He begs a voice cold and threat'ning.

Pete as snake cuisine, oh what can it mean
When a day-mare retriever hears a Death-Eating fiend?

Voldy lectured Pete on the blunder he had made
But it hadn't "ruined everything"
It seems Nagini won't get Pete
But it's me that he's to eat
Then with a Crucio Voldy played

On the floor I'm layin', my curse scar wracked with pain
Oh, this day-mare retrievin' really burns up your brain

(Sensing that HARRY is about to depart without revealing his vision, 
TRELAWNEY tries to get him to talk)

TRELAWNEY
Here's a good reason
For tracing the Martian route
It's now the season 
For following Neptune about now
Are you a class skipper?
That ain't cricket, yeah
I saw you're so quick to get vibed
So let's imbibe

You're a great seer
Your Eye saw ever so far
It's become so clear
I saw you clutching your scar, now
Don't be a class skipper
You're really clickin', yeah
You've shown you're psychic to the max
So don't be lax

You copped some Z's here 
You saw a Vision so grand
I've expertise here
You'll see further than planned, now

HARRY ignores her and starts to leave her class

TRELAWNEY (to HARRY, simultaneous with below)
But you're a class-skipper
Toward your sickbed, yeah
But if you run now there's no doubt
You won't find out


HARRY (to himself, simultaneous with above)
I must leave this scene, to Dumbledore come clean
Of my day-mare retrieval of these events obscene

Exit Harry

TRELAWNEY
Class-skipper, class-skipper, yeah
