[To the tune of "Bad Moon Risin'" by Creedence Clearwater Revival]

[SCENE:  Sibyll Trelawney's classroom, empty except for the Professor 
herself, who has just finished a cup of tea.  As she examines the tea 
leaves, suddenly her eyes glaze over and she sits bolt upright in her 
chair.  Music begins to play, a distinctive jangling country-rock 
guitar backed up by a solid beat, and the Professor begins to sing:]


I see a full moon risin',
I see trouble on the way,
I see a werewolf that's frightenin',
I see a bad time today.

Don't leave the shack tonight!
Beware the werewolf's bite!
There's a full moon on the rise.

I fear dementors congregating,
I fear they'll capture Sirius soon.
I fear Wormtail escaping --  
He'll be the instrument of ruin.

Don't chain Pete to Lupin!
You'd better be regroupin' -- 
There's a full moon on the rise.

Hope you can conjure a patronus,
Hope you can fly the hippogriff,
Looks like two lives will be the bonus,
Snape's going to have a screaming fit!

Turn back time tonight, 
You're going to save two lives,
There's a full moon on the rise.

Don't be afraid tonight,
You're bound to make things right,
There's a full moon on the rise.


[With a ringing guitar chord the music ends.  Sibyll Trelawney's eyes 
open wide, she looks around as if to ask "Did something just 
happen?"  Then she settles back in her chair and resumes her 
examination of the tea leaves, which look a little
 different
 than 
they did a few minutes ago.]

Trelawney too
