Accio (GOF Chap 20)

The sixth A!Kedavra filk to the tune of I Can't Say No from Oklahoma!

Dedicated to Frankie

THE SCENE: The DADA office. MOODY gives HARRY a hint on how to 
compete in the First Task

MOODY
It ain't so much a question of not having any skill
Your flying's real strong for your own team
It's just like addin' two `n' two together, if you will,
You need a charm that plays to your best theme

So here's a simple answer to believe
If you must face a dragon, you retrieve!

(A lightbulb going off in his head, HARRY rushes to HERMIONE)

HARRY
I don't how to Accio
I'm in a bind, that's for sure
When it comes time to make things go
Objects I cannot transfer

Whether a light or heavy weight
It's a spell that moves things from Point A to B
But when I try to levitate
I find my wand a-wavin' pointlessly 
This is a spell I do not know
Here is a knack that I lack 
When dragons make their attack
Broomsticks I cannot attract 
Through Accio.

HERMIONE
I can teach to you how you make stuff to travel
Once our judges bang the gavel
I can teach to you
S'possin' that we find
A classroom to practice
Till ya learn it exact, is 
What we're gonna do.

Surpassin', you've got it, 
Now you summon like me
It's a-somethin' to see, it's great!
I'm a-teachin' you what's a better way - 
Jus' relocate!

(Segue to the next day, with HARRY and the other three champions 
waiting to be called)

HARRY
Hermy has learned me Accio
She has got me in the groove
For this first task, I sure hope though
That my broom won't be unmoved
Victor Krum, Ced and Delacour
Are scheduled now to go ahead of me
And I'd rather dine with Voldemort
Than meet that lizard here from Hungary

(HARRY now steps out before the roaring crowd and the roaring 
Horntail, and yells, "Accio, Firebolt!" For a moment, nothing 
happens..)

Will this spell Firebolts bestow?
Here before every eye
.

(The faithful Firebolt zooms to HARRY'S side)


.Oh, with relief I now sigh!
I made my Firebolt fly
Through Accio!

(HARRY mounts his broom and soars off to TriWizard glory)
