Is Anybody There? (a filk)

[Haggridd]

No: HPFGUIDX 78927

I thought I was finished with the musical 1776, but this one cried 
out to be written.  It is a filk of the song "Is anybody there?" 
from the musical, and bears the same title.

It is dedicated to filk mavens everywhere.



                  Is Anybody There? 
          (with apologies to John Adams)


SCENE:  Harry has gone back down to the Death Chamber for one last 
look before leaving the Department of Mysteries.  He contemplates 
the Veil.)

HARRY POTTER:
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
Does anybody else see Sirius?

They want to me to quit; they say
He died in the fight.
Still to all those I say
He might have, maybe he might!
For I have sworn a new mission,
I will ever try to find him 
Come what may, come what may.

Godfather!

I know you all say through the archway
There's nought but decay, no prospect of his returning.
It's just a room, another room 
I say, from which he'll come back to stop my yearning!
Is anybody there? Does anybody care?
Does anybody else see Sirius?

I see the Veil! I see it tattered and 
Fluttering black. 
I hear the whispers beyond;
I hear the murmuring.
I see my Godfather – big strong Sirius
Alive forever more.

How quiet, how quiet the chamber is
How silent, how silent the chamber is

Is anybody there? Does anybody care?
Does anybody else see Sirius?
