This Nimbus Must Fly (PoA, Chap. 9)

To the tune of This Jesus Must Die from Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ 
Superstar

Dedicated to Eileen

THE SCENE: The Quidditch Field. WOOD delivers some "unwelcome news" 
to his team.

FRED 
Good Oliver, the Q-Team waits for you. 
The Weasley twins are here to Beat for you. 

OLIVER
But Slytherin claims they're not up to snuff
So we're compelled to now play Hufflepuff 

CHORUS OF HUFFLEPUFF FANS (outside) 
Hurrah for Hufflepuff! 
Hurrah for Hufflepuff!
Hurrah for Hufflepuff! 
Hurrah for Hufflepuff! 

GEORGE
Listen to that Puffed-up mob of Huffles on the grounds! 
A trick or two with Bludgers, and they think they can rebound  

OLIVER & HARRY
Take them serious!

CHORUS (outside) 
Ced-er-ic Dig-gor-ry! 

OLIVER & HARRY
Take them serious!

CHORUS (outside) 
Tell us you'll lead us to victory 

KATIE 
Their team that we played last time we beat with little work.

OLIVER
We musn't be complacent or they'll make us look like jerks. 

GQT 
Take them serious!

CHORUS (outside) 
Ced-er-ic Dig-gor-ry!

GQT 
Take them serious!

ANGELINA 
Look Oliver, their team's inclined to plod 

ALICIA
Look Oliver, we've got the stronger squad. 

OLIVER
No, wait! 
We need a more accurate description of their Seeker

 

HARRY
What then to say about Cedric Diggory?
Hufflepuff Seeker Boy, unicorn wand 

FRED & GEORGE  
No cunning, no quickness, no shrewdness, no talent. 

KATIE 
One thing I'll say for him - he's a true blonde.

ANGELINA
He will not panic or all fall to pieces 
His Hufflepuff fans will rejoice in his flight

ALICIA
But how best to stop him? The weather's caprices 
Grow worse every minute; looks like a true fight. 

WOOD
I see bad things arising. 
His team creams the Gryffs, and the Slyths the lead claim. 
Ollie Wood's deconstruction, 
My elimination because of one game  
Wood's deconstruction because of one game.  

GQT
Because, because, because of one game 

WOOD
My elimination because of one game 

GQT
Because, because, because of one, 'cause of one, 'cause of one game. 

GEORGE
What will we do if they play like Tasmanians? 

HARRY
How will we feel if the sky's thundering? 

FRED
How to dislodge then the house with the badger 
Should they have that edge you allege that they'll bring?

WOOD
We must make no exceptions!  
The Gryffindor players declare do or die!
We must score a one-fifty! 
So with Harry on it, this Nimbus must fly. 
With the weight of our Seeker, this Nimbus must fly. 

GQT:
Must fly, must fly, this Nimbus must fly. 

WOOD
So with Harry on it, this Nimbus must fly.

GQT: 
Must fly, must fly, this Nimbus must, Nimbus must, Nimbus must fly!
