Kill the Spare (from GoF, Chap. 32)

(to the tune of Tom Lehrer's Be Prepared! The Boy Scouts' Marching 
Song)

Dedicated to Amy Z

THE SCENE: The cemetery of Little Hangleton, where HARRY and CEDRIC 
find themselves abruptly Portkeyed after taking the Triwizards Cup

CEDRIC: We're now where?
HARRY: Hey, it's funny you should ask
Say a prayer
This is just part of the task
CEDRIC: It appears that in some graveyard we've appeared
HARRY: That's a subtle sign how things have gotten weird 
CEDRIC: Let's take care
To have our wands out in our hands
HARRY: Stay alert!
Till we come up with some plans
CEDRIC: There's a figure coming toward us with a hood over its face
See, it's carrying a bundle as it quickly draws apace
HARRY: And it's set for us a trap in which we're snared
Unprepared! 

CEDRIC is killed by Wormtail by the command of the homunculus 
VOLDEMORT

VOLDEMORT (to Wormtail)
Kill the spare!
That is Voldemort's command
Kill the spare!
While you still have two good hands.
Now that Harry Potter's finally been caught
Cedric's quite unnecessary for our plot.
Grab him there!
And then follow my caprice
Tie him down
Near where papa rests in peace
The purity of James' and Lily's son I'll now pollute
I'll permit Harry to watch as I don my re-birthday suit
He'll be frightened, he'll be shattered, he'll be scared!
He'll despair!
