Nineteen Ninety-Five

To the tune of Dolly Parton's Nine to Five

Dedicated to Mariner, inspired by her joyous "It's A Book" (#49866)

(THE SCENE: Darkness. A single spotlight discovers HARRY)

HARRY
Lie in a rose bed
Then I'm flyin' off to Hogwarts
With more than two hundred thousand words
Of Ron and Snape, and Vern on Privet Drive

(A second spotlight discovers VOLDEMORT) 

VOLDEMORT
I've got the power
See the blood start runnin'

(A third spotlight discovers DUMBLEDORE)

DUMBLEDORE
I'll tell you secrets
You will find stunnin'

(The three spotlights converge)

HARRY, VOLDEMORT & DUMBLEDORE
Set those time-turners to Nineteen Ninety-Five!

(Lights up to reveal Hogwarts Castle on a glorious September day, 
and, standing before it, the entire cast of characters for OoP)

ALL:	
Nineteen Ninety-Five
And our whole team's back in action
JKR has honed 
The text to her satisfaction
You will be enthralled 
For the next eight hundred pages
Magic we'll provide you 
No matter what your age is

THE DURSLEYS
Nineteen Ninety-Five, more specifically the summer
We will do our best to make sure that it's a bummer

RON, FRED & GEORGE
Then it's off to school
For another year of crisis

DRACO, CRABBE & GOYLE
We can guarantee that we won't be making nices
Mmmmm...

HARRY
You're gonna learn
All about my mother

GINNY
See even more 
Of my older brothers

McGONAGALL & FLITWICK
You'll read things that will take your breath away

PERCY
Will a Prefect
Gain great power within?

HERMIONE
Folks on Theory Bay, 
Will your ship come in?

BINNS & HOUSE GHOSTS 
With the depth and the scope 
Of the Victorian Thackeray 

PETTIGREW
Nineteen Ninety-Five
Will I find its silver lining?

SNAPE
Will I stay true-blue
Or with DEs be aligning?

TRELAWNEY
Will I come up with an accurate third prediction?

ALL
Will we make it to the Times' list of fiction?

BLACK & LUPIN	
Nineteen Ninety-Five
What a splendid panorama

LUCIUS & NARCISSA
It will be released
Once they've proofread all her grammar

DOBBY 
You'll be up all night 
For this battle of the Titans

WINKY
Drink a butterbeer
As you savor Rowling's writin's 

FUDGE & CHROUS OF DEMENTORS
Nineteen Ninety-Five
It's eleven years past Orwell

HAGRID & MADAME MAXIME
Can the Wizard World
Be saved from the Dark Lord's sheer hell?

ALL
`Course, we won't know that 
Till we finally see Book Seven
But for right now Phoenix 
Is our closest glimpse of heaven
