"We Didn't Start the Story" FILK

[tcyhunt]

No: HPFGUIDX 76614

I've been reading (and greatly enjoying) the HP filks here for quite 
some time.  I finally worked up the nerve to create and post one of 
my own.  

I humbly dedicate this to all of the wonderful HP filk-sters - I had 
NO IDEA how *bleeping* tough it was (until now).

to the tune of "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel

(It covers PS/SS chapter by chapter)


Vernon Dursley, fateful day, owls flying, baby stays
Albus sighs, Hagrid cries, Harry is so young.

Dudley's birthday, at the zoo, I think Arabella knew, 
Harry went, Piers too, we meet a Parsletongue.

"Harry Hunting", Dudley's mates, post's in, Vernon waits
see's what's come, goes berserk, the Dursley's run away.

Harry's birthday, on the rock, Hagrid arrives, Vernon's shocked
pink umbrella, Dudley's tail, Harry's on his way.

Chorus:
We didn't start the story
It was always Rowling
Since the train's  been going
We didn't start the story
No we didn't write it
But we love to read it

Leaky Cauldr'n, Barkeep Tom, Quirrill and his tur-ban
Ollivander's, Eeylops, Flourish & Blotts

Plat-form hid-den, Molly Weasley helps him
off to school, we meet Ron, skinny but eats lots

Great Hall, Hat sings, and then sorting begins
Gryffindor, and the rest, I hope there won't be a test!

Flitwick, McGongall, Peeves, Filch, I hope that's all
Professor Snape, mouth agape, trouble in the dark hall

Chorus

Midnight Duel, trophy room, almost caught, sudden doom
"Alohomora!", run fast, Fluffy growls, haul ass!

Learning Quidditch, racing broom, Hermy's in the bathroom.
Troll got loose inside, I can't believe it --Hermy lied!

Gryffindor 'gainst Slytherin, wonder who's gonna win
Harry's broom under spell, caught the snitch as he fell!

Holidays at the school, Harry' gifts are really cool!
With the cloak, he found, Mirror shows family 'round

Chorus

Finding Flamel's proven hard, here he is on the card!
Quidditch, match again, victory, too!

Secret birth of Ridgeback, Malfoy sees the egg crack,
Charlie to the rescue. But Draco told - I knew!

Detentions, Centuars, silver blood, seeing stars.
50 points, taken anyway, what else do I have to say!

Chorus

Final exams, they're done, but where'd that egg come from?
Cloaked man, in the bar, hood up, painful scar!
Trapdoor, Devil's Snare, Wizard's Chess played with flair!
Harry's off on his own, just got to save the Stone!

Erised here once more, Quirrell's turban's on the floor
Voldy's head, eyes of red, awoke in hospital bed. 
Heard the news from Dumbledore, sadly, Quirrell is no more.
Finally Gryffs win the cup!  Can't wait 'til book 2 comes up!

Chorus
