Courage

To the tune of Courage from The Wizard of Oz

Dedicated to Pippin (whose Oz filk is one of the all-time classics)

THE SCENE: Gryffindor Common. Anxious to squelch those repeated 
queries about why she isn't in Ravenclaw, HERMIONE allows herself to 
be interviewed by NEVILLE regarding her views on the quintessential 
Gryffindorean virtue.....

NEVILLE (waving a mike in HERMIONE'S face):
Hermione, in Gryffindor, is there anything you're fearful for?

HERMIONE:
Not nobody, not nohow!

NEVILLE:
Not even a basilisk?

HERMIONE:
Ain't the slightest risk!

NEVILLE:
How about an Acromantula?

HERMIONE: (as if addressing Aragog)
Why, I'd give no olive branch to ya!

NEVILLE:
Supposin' it was Draco Malfoy?

HERMIONE: (as if slapping Malfoy)
You've dared to diss the wrong gal, boy!

NEVILLE:
What if it were Lord Voldemort?

HERMIONE (with a slight timidity):
I'd tell him I was a good friend of, uh, Dumbledore!

NEVILLE:
Wow!

HERMIONE:
How?
Courage! What makes the House-Elf seize a sock?
Courage! What made Nick make the Sorcerer's rock?
Courage! What gives werewolves the wherewithal, in the Shrieking 
Shack or in Hogwarts Hall?
What keeps week knees from the Kneazle?
Courage! What makes a friend be Secret-Keeper?
Courage! What makes Art figure out a beeper?
Courage! What keeps the Centaur on the scent? What makes dementors go 
dement? 
What scores 112 percent?

BOTH: 
Courage!

NEVILLE
Could you say that again? (I forgot to turn the tape on
..)
