THE SCENE: Pomfrey's infirmary. We discover Harry, in and out of 
sleep, once more convalescing following a traumatic encounter with 
Dark Powers. Sirius, in the form of PADFOOT, stands guard over him. 
Sensing Harry's restlessness, PADFOOT sings him a lullaby.

PADFOOT
Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm a hound
Nothing's gonna harm you
No, sir
Not while I'm a hound

DEs are prowling 
Everywhere
Causing hurt
I'll just start growling
I'm aware
And alert

No one will attack you
No one's gonna dare
You've got Sirius Black who'll
Make `em scurry.
Whistle, I'll be there

Wizards who'll hex you 
With their worst
Evil curse
I'll reverse 
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm a hound

Cave canem, I will ban `em
Do they think I will slumber supine?
That won't occur
Not with this cur
You're now aligned with this ol' canine
Not to worry, Son
.

Prongs, my old pal, you would be proud
If you only knew
How your son fought brave and unbowed
He's so much like you,
Your son
..

Nothing's going to harm you
Not while I'm a hound
Nothing's going to harm you, Harry
For I'll stand my ground.

Darkness is rising 
Once again
In full force
They will flee fast if
A mastiff
Stays their course

No one's gonna vex you
None will take that chance
Dark Lords may perplex you
Not to worry
I will take my stance

Wizards who'll hex you 
With their worst
Evil curse
I'll reverse 
Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm a hound




(Harry falls into a deep sleep as the song ends. Iris out on PADFOOT, 
maintaining a vigilant watch.)
