THE SCENE: The grounds of Hogwarts, on the final day of the school 
year. Enter HARRY. 

HARRY: 
When I met Black, he was a fugitive
They called him a killer who'd no quarter give.
But I learned the truth in the Shack one night,
And I risked my life so he could take flight.
And as he soared to his freedom, I heard him add:
He said:

SIRIUS
Your father, you're so much like him, lad
You know you're so much like your Dad

HARRY:
And the dog was in danger but he dodged the doom 
>From dementor robes `neath a werewolf moon.
When you comin' back, Black?

SIRIUS
I don't know when, but we'll get together soon.
We'll live as son and father soon

HARRY:
The next year Black was still a fugitive
But he gave to his Godson all he had to give
Closest thing to a family I ever had
He was partly brother and partly Dad

As he walked away changing back to a Grim 
He said, 

SIRIUS
James'd be so proud of you, yeah
You know that you are just like him

HARRY:
And the dog was in danger but disdained the doom
He's at my side after Riddle's tomb
Can you stay with me now?

SIRIUS
I don't think so, but we'll get together soon
We'll live as son and father soon

HARRY:
Well, it's one further year, and still a fugitive
Black's returned to his ancestral home to live.
A place to serve as the Phoenix HQ
But a place that Sirius so hates too. 

SIRIUS
What I'd really like, son, is fighting DEs 
I said: 
Kreacher's features I will not appease, son
That Kreacher elf I won't appease

HARRY:
And the dog's in no danger and his days are dim
It seems that no one has a need for him.

SIRIUS
Shall we rendezvous, son?

HARRY:
I don't think so, 

SIRIUS
		I guess you're not quite James' son
He would have found the danger fun
.

HARRY:
Then the Dark Lord preyed upon my pride and hate
That I gave him liberty to orchestrate
The peril we were facing was mighty grave
Then Black et al. arrived the day to save
But Bellatrix saw the veil and she blasted him through 
She said:

BELLATRIX
It's been such fun to make sure you're dead
It's been so nice murdering you

(Enter LUNA LOVEGOOD, who has overheard all of HARRY'S soliloquy)

LUNA:
And the dog who's in danger, as a man he died,
He's not truly gone, he's still at your side
When you have a need of him
You'll here him say:

VOICE OF SIRIUS
You so make your father proud, son

VOICE OF JAMES POTTER & SIRIUS 
You so make both your fathers proud
..

(LUNA consoles HARRY as he weeps)
