I'd like to interrupt my regularly scheduled program of _Harry Potter Meets 
the Beatles_ for this special, seasonal filk.

Happy Halloween everybody!

Here's to the Boy-Who-Lived!

The Night Voldemort Died

(A Filk by Gail Bohacek to the tune of _The Night Chicago Died_)

Please, somebody tell me that I'm not the only one who remembers this song!

Listen to a bit of it here:

Note: When I wrote this, I imagined Percy Weasley, being just old enough to 
remember some of the details, recalling how it was during the time of Lord 
Voldemort's Reign of Terror.



Percy:

(Spoken)

Daddy was working
for the Ministry of Magic
Back when things weren't okay.
Back in the bad ol' days

(Singing)

In the shadow of candle light
In our home at the Burrow
So many the sleepless nights
I remember it all still

When the Dark Lord Voldemort
And his foul Death Eater horde
Fought the warlock Dumbledore
And called the Wizard World to war

Dark Marks floating in the sky
Told that somebody else there had died
Brothers, every night a death there was
Brothers, what a frightening time it was
Glory be!

Each night our Mama cried
Worried that Dad wouldn't come home alive
Brothers, every night a death there was
Brothers, what a frightening time it was
Yes, indeed!

Always wondering who'd be next
To receive the Dark Lord's hex
Dumbledore, he had a plan
To defeat this evil man

The Potter family had to hide
But where betrayed from inside
It's sometimes hard just to conceive
It happened on All Hallows Eve

So many wizards died
He'd kill all those who wouldn't join his side
Brothers, Voldemort was out for blood
Brothers, he wasn't up to any good
Glory be!

With help from some treacherous spy
To the Potter's house he did arrive
Brothers, Voldemort was out for blood
Brothers, he wasn't up to any good
Yes, indeed!

Mom would do nothing at all
But watch the clock upon the wall
Then Dad stepped out from the floo
Declared the fall of You-Know-Who
He was foiled by Potter's son
For the time being we had won

The night Voldemort died
(Na-na-na  na-na-na  na-na-na)
The night Voldemort died
Brothers, how we celebrated then
Brothers, hope it won't happen again
Yes, indeed!

The night Voldemort died
(Na-na-na  na-na-na  na-na-na)
The night Voldemort died
Brothers, what a real relief was felt
Brothers, no more sickening grief was dealt
Glory be!

The night Voldemort died
(Na-na-na  na-na-na  na-na-na)
The night Voldemort died
Brothers, how we celebrated then
Brothers, hope it won't happen again
Yes, indeed!
