Continuing my endeavor to filk the musical "Little Shop of Horrors" here...


The Third Task

(A FILK by Gail Bohacek to the tune of _It's Just The Gas_ from the musical _Little Shop of Horrors_)


(Scene:  Enter Harry stage left.  He sees the Tri-Wizard Cup, center stage.)  

Harry:  

There!  It's the Cup!
I can see it sitting there from where I've just entered
Placed high on a dais in the maze's center
The Tri-Wizard Goblet and with it the end of this game
There!  It's the Cup!
Just a hundred yards away and everything's over
I'll reach out and grab it and how I have won they'll loudly proclaim
Now - I will run!  Now - I'll be quick!
But now who's this?  It's Cedric!

(Cedric enters stage left and both make towards the Goblet.  However, a giant Spider leaps and moves to attack Cedric who does not notice it.  Harry shouts at Cedric to watch out and casts Stupefy upon it.  The spider only turns and attacks Harry, biting him on the leg.  Both Harry and Cedric cast Stupefy simultaneously upon the Spider which finally drops to the ground.)

Cedric:

Though we were in competition
'Gainst each other for the prize
In this Third Task, you helped me out
Just like the time when you told me
What the First Task was about
You may think I'm being stupid -
I'm not blind, I've seen what you did
That's the second time you've saved
My neck in here - Go and take the Cup, I will not interfere

Harry:

What we have here is an ethical dilemma
True, I'd love to be the winner
But I can't now, Diggory
If we take it, both you and I
Then it means there will be a tie
And for Hogwarts it still means a victory

Cedric:

The one who reaches the Cup first gets
The points, that should be you
In this Third Task, you deserve it
Even if it means the glory
For my House will be forfeit
But you say that it is better 
That we take the Cup together
Why, the thought of this idea, it makes me grin
Are you sure you want to do this?
Let's go and approach the dais
Are we ready now?  For Hogwarts let us - 

(Harry and Cedric touch the Tri-Wizard Cup together and the stage lights flash as the set is quickly changed from the Maze to the Grave Yard.  When the lights finish flashing, Harry and Cedric look around confused)

Harry :  Win?
