No: HPFGUIDX 78348

These are filks of the songs "Piddle, Twiddle and Resolve" and "Till 
Then" titled "Beaters, Seeker All Are Banned" and "We Won", from the 
musical 1776.

I dedicate these filks to Frankie, that Princess of Puzzle Solvers


Beaters, Seeker All Are Banned / We Won 

SCENES:  Angelina Johnson, captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team 
now that Oliver Wood has graduated, reacts to the consequences of 
infamous Educational Decree Number Twenty-Five. / The aftermath of 
the last Quidditch match of the year.


ANGELINA JOHNSON:
I do believe she's cast a curse.  That Umbridge is a whore!
A curse that we now here rehearse at House of Gryffindor!
Her new office as Inquisitor
Is a thing we must abide.  
Loss of Divinations Teacher 
I suppose I'll take in stride. 
But, now she hurts our Quidditch.
That must surely be defied!

I say this with humility for House of Gryffindor!
We're your responsibility, this House of Gryffindor!
If you don't want to see our won-lost
Record take a sharp nose dive,
If you still want our chance to win the Quidditch Cup
To stay alive, 
Then Godric, put a stop to
That Decree Twenty-Five.

You see, our Beaters, Seeker, all are banned.
That foul witch had it all planned!
Beaters, Seeker all are banned. 
No more Quidditch wins for 
Bashed, bludgeoned, bloodied, besmirched, besieged 
House of Gryffindor!

Their family played for years and years for House of Gryffindor!
These new Weasleys play upon my fears for House of Gryffindor!
I can't decide on whether they can fly, 
Or if they're good or bad; I'm convinced
The only Purpose that Decree ever had
Was to make us lose specifically
To drive A. Johnson mad!

You see, our Beaters, Seeker all are banned,
Two new Weasleys now on hand.
Beaters, Seeker all are banned. 
No more Quidditch wins for
Bashed, bludgeoned, bloodied, besmirched, besieged
House of Gryffindor!

GRYFFINDORS:
Someone said Ron Weasley's now our Keeper!
Good Godric! 

HERMIONE:
Ron, Ron, is that you carrying on, Ron?


Just play your Keeper position; don't let the Quaffle in.
Don't worry when the Slytherins sing,
"Weasley is our King."  
There are six other players playing:
Angelina flies with you;
Little Ginny is our Seeker;
And Alicia is there too.
Now Katie Bell's a Chaser--


RON WEASLEY:
Hermione, what else is new? 

HERMIONE:
There's one thing that I think you missed while
Training how to play.

RON:
(sniggers)

HERMIONE:
Don't smirk at me, you nervous boy; pay
Heed to what I say.
You have the legacy of Charlie,
Champion of Gryffindor. 
"The Twins were human Beaters."
All of this you should ignore.
If you just play like Ron Weasley
I'm sure you'll love the score!

RON WEASLEY (after the match):
We won, We won
I played as I never did and followed your advice;
Yours, yours, yours, yours, yours.

HERMIONE: 
You did it, Ron. 

RON WEASLEY: 
Yeah, Hermione.
 
GRYFINDORS:
Yes, Weasley is our King!
