Since the songs have been quickly and efficiently filked by my fellow 
Beatles fans Pixieberry and Gail B., i don't know if i qualify for the 
Filk Maven First Class award. Still, i have made the effort, so i will 
share it with all of you.

I want to dedicate these two filks to Gail B., for being such an 
amazing Beatles filker, to Caius Marcus, for the challenge, and 
specially to PixieBerry, for the contributions and support.

Harry, My Dear
---------------------

To the tune of Martha, My Dear, by The Beatles.

Harry is lying in bed at the hospital wing, after fighting Lord
Voldemort in the graveyard. Molly Weasley is tending to him.

MOLLY: Harry, my dear
        though you fought to death with Voldemort
        Please
        you have to rest, be a good boy
        listen to me, Harry my dear

        Lie your head back.  Nurse Pomfrey said you need to rest.
        if you drink this potion for sleepless dreams
        you'll forget the pain until you're all recovered
        now you rest.

        Stop, do not look around you
        Close your eyes, Ron is here for you
        Hermione too, and that black dog Dumbledore sent.

        Take off your glasses, i'll put them there, and lay your head.
        When you left the maze with Diggory
        You looked so bad I thought that we would surely lose you,
        now you rest.

        Harry, my dear, Dumbledore said you've gone through such an 
ordeal
        Please
        listen to him, you need to sleep
        I'll watch over you, Harry my dear.


Knight Bus
---------------

To the tune of Good Night, by The One and Only Billy Shears.

Harry has just left number 4 Privet Drive, after inflating
aunt Marge. As he finds himself in the street, alone, he wonders...

HARRY:
I ran out of Privet drive
they got me mad.
Floating high was aunt Marge
like a huge fly.
Now i will be expelled....
now where will i stay...

I saw something in the dark
t'was huge and black
i fell over my trunk
flat on my back.
As i fell, my arm
reached out with my wand.

Flashing lights point at me
Knight Bus is here
Stan Shunpike and Ernie
they welcome me.
I'll go to London
The Leaky Cauldron.

Knight Bus, Knight Bus will take me
Anytime, anywhere
Knight Bus.


They are not of the quality of the expert filkers, but they are my 
first ones (come on, Revolution number 9 doesn't count).
