"Cornelius"
An OoP/"Hogwarts Story" filk to "Maria," from the movie "West Side Story"

Here is the third song (in order of performance) in the evolving "Hogwarts
Story." Please note that the name "Cornelius" should be sung in three
syllables (Cor-kneel-yus) rather than four (Cor-nee-lee-us). 

Dedicated to Nymphadora, whose HP4GU post first put this idea into my head.
(In other words, blame her - not me! - for this SHIP). ;-)

(Scene, the home of Delores Umbridge, the evening of the Dementor attack on
Harry). 

DOLORES UMBRIDGE <resplendent in pink dressing gown, fuzzy slippers and
hair ribbons>:

Cornelius . . . 
The most beautiful man I've ever seen.
Cornelius, Cornelius ,Cornelius, Cornelius . . . 

In his pinstriped suits and hat of lime-green . . . 
Cornelius, Cornelius, Cornelius, Cornelius . . . 
Cornelius, Cornelius . . . 

Cornelius!
I work with a man named Cornelius,
And I'd do anything to make sure he will notice me!

Cornelius!
I'm hot for a man named Cornelius.
I know together he and I could run the Ministry!

Cornelius,
Set Dementors on Potter for him.
Does he know just how much I adore him?
Cornelius,
I'll someday be loved by Cornelius!

(musical interlude, with much leaping and pirouetting by DELORES)

Cornelius,
I'll be next to him at the hearing.
Does he know how I feel when I'm near him?
Cornelius,
I'll someday be loved by Cornelius!

The most beautiful man I've ever seen - 
Cornelius.
