NOTE: This is Neville's first solo filk on HP4GU. The long delay is 
because it's taken him so long to memorize the lyrics. 

THE SCENE: Gryffindor Common Area. Enter NEVILLE

NEVILLE
As ev'ry day it happens that the password I forget
I've made a little list, I've made a little list
An "Open Sesame" compendium to help reduce my sweat
And it's certain to assist – it's certain to assist
There's "balderdash" and "fairy lights," "pine fresh," and "scurvy 
cur"
There's "lemon drop", "banana fritters," and also "Wattlebird"
There are sayings from the Latin, such as Caput Draconis
That I oft try to memorize, which quite mistaken is  
And phrases like "Oddsbodikins", which make my poor tongue twist
Can now be reminisced, can now be reminisced.

They're all upon my list, they're all upon my list.
And it's certain to assist – it's certain to assist

There's that noisy painted nuisance who is always in our face
For the password he insists - but I think I lost my list


My grandma will send howlers and I'll be in deep disgrace
I'll wish not to exist - if I can not find my list
For a fugitive now prowls our grounds on wicked escapades
Though they tell me I'm courageous yet I feel quite afraid
Awakened now by screams from Ron, who cries that with a knife
The Prisoner from Azkaban tried cutting short his life.
The cause of this unpleasantness must boil down to this:
The fact I lost my list, at such cost I lost my list.

I lost my password list, I lost my password list,
Black found my little list, McGonagall is....mad
