Off to Adelaide, FILK: The Weasley Bunch

[Tabouli]

No: HPFGUIDX 36956

Just letting you all know I'm off to Adelaide this afternoon and will be away until the first of April.  From painful experience, I will switch all my HPFGU lists to webview in the meantime ("You have 561 unread messages, most of which are HPFGU digests...")

(Captain Tabouli slips a last few acronym-splattered badges and costumes into her suitcase and hands it to George, her cabin boy, while the crew lower her canoe into the Bay.  She feels uneasy about leaving her Ship in such troubled times.  Not only are enemy fleets circling at all times, rumour has it Theory Bay itself is under threat by local developers, who are threatening to drain it, reclaim the land, and turn it into a Can(n)on Museum.  Nonetheless, the current voyage is unavoidable, so all she can do is hope those who navigate the Bay, both friend and foe, will defend it well in her absence).

Now.  I've always been a bit twitchy about the prospect of a Harry/Ginny relationship.  Sure, it's what Ginny wants, and it would join Harry to the Weasleys in holy matrimony, so to speak, but... well... it's just a bit too EWWW for me.  (Moreover, so far Harry has shown roughly zero interest in the concept).  I was musing on why I felt this way today, and discovered that my main objection is that it's just a bit too "and they lived happily ever after"-ish for my ghoulish tastes.  A bit too much like the Brady Bunch.  Then I thought, hang on... there's a Filk in that!

"THE WEASLEY BUNCH" (to the tune of the theme song for "The Brady Bunch")

This is the story
Of a boy called Harry,
Who was caught between two very lovely girls,
One of them had hair of fire, like her brothers,
And one had bushy curls;

A crush on Harry
Had the girl called Ginny,
She was dizzy to have him for her own,
He was best friends with her older brother,
But she was all alone.

H/G shippers say if Ginny got her fellow,
All would tru - ly come right in the crunch,
Harry then would get a loving family,
For through marriage he would join the Weasley Bunch!

The Weasley Bunch,
The Weasley Bunch,
Yes, they say he will join the Weasley Bunch!

***
Have a good week, and I'll be back on Monday!

Tabouli.
