(FILK): Four Weeks

[Gail Bohacek]

No: HPFGUIDX 54878

The day the Goblet of Fire selected the Tri-Wizard Champions was October 31. 
  The day of the First Task was November 24.  So, it was twenty-five days 
between these two events.

But "Twenty-Five Days" don't scan.

Therefore, I've taken a bit of artistic license and have entitled this 
filk...



Four Weeks

(A FILK by Gail Bohacek to the tune of _One Week_ by the Barenaked Ladies)


Sing along to the Midi (good luck):

Dedicated to Lilac, who inspired my filking career with her own filk by the 
Barenaked Ladies (it's this one, if you're curious:

)


This filk is a real tongue-twister...I'll be surprised if anybody gets it 
right on the first try.  But it *does* work, believe me.

Oh, and the Midi is a little different than the original, especially in the 
second part of the song...just so's ya know.



Harry:

It's been four weeks since the incident
The night my name came out from the Goblet
Three weeks since the Potions Class when
Hermione kept saying, "Ignore them"
Two weeks since the interview
It was all about me and it ticked off the whole school
Today, the first task is here
I'm all alone and the dragon is right there

What you say I don't believe you
Would I deceive you?
Do you really think I'm lying?
Entered my name in the game but what you're sayin' is insane
How do you think I would've gotten 'cross the Age Line?
I am telling you the straight truth
I did not do
But you're acting like an idiot
Now you're not talking to me
And now the school sees
And they all think that I did it
Hasn't been this bad since when I had
That awful year when they were mad
And they all thought that I was the Heir of Slytherin
With your assistance found the entrance
Been a while since but the diff'rence
Is that you were my friend and had supported me back then

I don't think it's fair how you've treated me this way
The time I needed you the most you turned away
Tell you something that was told to me by Hagrid
"Always seems like everything happens to you," he said
I must agree that it really seems like it does
I have a tendency to get into trouble

It's been four weeks since I stood accused
You called me liar right there in our dorm room
Three weeks since Herbology
Hufflepuffs laughed when the Bouncing Bulb hit me
Two weeks since the Potions Class when
Draco and his friends wore their "Potter Stinks" buttons
Today, the First Task is on
I'm too nervous to be mad at you, Ron

Diggory, Cedric the Hogwarts Champion
I'm a Champ too, but there should only be one
They say I've taken Cedric's glory
Like Lockhart's stories
Directing all the attention towards me
I'm spending more time with Hermione
At the library
I swear she's got the whole place memorized
She says I'm stubborn, I don't miss you
Okay, I miss you
But I'm not talking 'till you apologize
I told my mess to Sirius
And he was going to suggest
A simple spell but then you came and interrupted
Gonna take Draco and break his nose
And make him ache because of those badges he has
That show how much I'm hated

I don't think it's fair how you've treated me this way
The time I needed you the most you turned away
Tell you something that was told to me by Hagrid
"Always seems like everything happens to you," he said
I must agree that it really seems like it does
I have a tendency to get into trouble

It's been four weeks or a little less
Hermione told me you were jealous
Two weeks since the detention
Two hours with you and Snape in the dungeons
One week since that badge I threw
Hit you in the head and said, "Hope ya get a scar, too!"
Today, the First Task is done
We're friends again, it's like nothing ever happened
We're friends again, it's like nothing ever happened
We're friends again, it's like nothing ever happened
We're friends again, it's like nothing ever happened
