Bring Me Down!

To the tune "Bring Him Home" from the musical _Les Miserable_

(But I really got the idea from Forbidden Broadway’s version of this song: "Bring it Down".)



The Scene: After a premature and overly-strong kick-off, Neville and his broom are rising steadily higher and higher during his first flying lesson while the Griffindors watch helplessly below and the Slytherins snicker and point.

NEVILLE (pleadingly in a shaky, quiet voice):

God, it's high! This broom's too high!

Please help me miss that very tall tree.

I am young, and afraid.

Why am I so clumsy?

Bring me down to the ground carefully.

What will Gran say if she finds out?

"Is this how you uphold our honor?!"

I’ve never flown on a broom,

only been dropped from my room

by Uncle Alphie two floors up.



I bounced then, but I doubt

I'll bounce now since I’m 50 feet up. 

Help me land safe and sound.

Get me back to the ground.

Don’t wanna die! Don’t let me die! Let me live!

Bring me down, bring me down

Bring me....... AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! (thud)
