BREATHING LIKE THE FISHIES

to the tune of "One Last Breath" by Creed

Go here for the video or just the music, for Real Player or Windows Media  http://www.creednet.com

(I HIGHLY recommend the video.  They've got something that looks kind of like a pensieve in it, and that lead singer -- ooooh, Corgi won't like this -- would make an EXCELLENT Sirius, imho.)

 

Dedicated to Robert, my "Wheezy"

 

The Scene: Harry has just made it to the shores of the lake for the Third Task. 

 

HARRY, THINKING TO HIMSELF:

Dobby came and gave me gilly

Here's hoping that this weed will keep me safe

Last night my studies got me nowhere

>From this task there's no escape

(THE WHISTLE BLOWS)

Now I'm chewing up this plant thing

And I'm taking one last breath

But now I'm growing gills, growing gills 

 

(HE FLINGS HIMSELF UNDER WATER)

 

Hang on, now!

I'm six feet under water

I'm thinking,

WOW! I'm breathing like the fishies now!

 

Grindylows grab while I’m looking all over.

I thank Myrtle for showing where to go.

There... I found them in the Mer-Square; 

Hermy, Ron, some girl and Cho. 

 

(HE MOTIONS TO A MERMAN TO LEND HIM HIS SPEAR)

MERMAN:

"We do not help." 

 

HARRY

I yell out "Come *ON*!"

But because I have no breath

All that comes out is bubbles, just bubbles


(HE CUTS RON OUT WITH A JAGGED ROCK, AND STARTS CUTTING OUT THE OTHERS)

 

MERMAN:

"Take your own." 



 

HARRY’S BUBBLES:

"Just get out of my way 

'cause I'm thinking

 I don't want any of them to drown!"



(CEDRIC AND VICTOR SHOW UP TO TAKE CHO AND HERMIONE, AND HARRY DECIDES TO NOT TO WAIT ANY LONGER FOR FLEUR TO GET HER SISTER. THE MERPEOPLE TRY TO STOP HIM.) 


"Stay back now!

I’m taking both of them, and I warn you...

If you don't let me 

I'll use my wand!"

(HE PUTS UP 3 FINGERS)

"That’s 3 - 2 - 1!"

 

(MERPEOPLE SCATTER. HE STARTS SWIMMING WITH BOTH GABRIELLE AND RON. HE NOTICES THAT HE HAS FOLLOWERS)



 

HARRY, THINKING AGAIN:

Merfolk follow me.

But when the time's gone, will they grab for me? 

Why are they smiling at me?

Wonder if they're going to try to catch and eat us three, and eat us three, and eat us three.

(WITH THE EFFECTS OF GILLYWEED GONE, HARRY STRUGGLES THE LAST FEW FEET )

Can't quit now....

I'm six feet from the surface, I'm so close...

(HE SURFACES WITH A GREAT SPLASH RIGHT ON THAT LOUD GUITAR CHORD)

Made it, WOW! 

I'm taking my first breath, but Ron's saying,

"Why'd you waste time acting the hero?!"

 

Thanks much, Ron...

"Let’s help her to the shore." ...but I'm feeling

A little foolish to believe that song.

 

(GOING BACK IN THE CASTLE)

Now that it's done, so glad it's over...

I’m getting Dobby socks to last a year.
