Be Careful What You Wish For
To the tune of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah"

SCENE: George's Tavern.  A chorus of Sirius-lovers, dressed in deep
mourning and somewhat tipsy, perform the song.  Behind the bar, 
George provides musical accompaniment on a tin whistle.

Well, remember how for three years straight,
We checked the news for the release date?
We thought the wait might kill us if we'd let it.
We wished to know how Snape would spy,
We wished to know just who would die,
Be careful what you wish for, you may get it.

CHORUS:
You may get it,
You may get it,
You may get it,
So watch out!

We speculated day and night
About the death that was hard to write.
We said, "It must be Hagrid, yes, we'll bet it!"
We said, "Come on, Jo, hand it in!
To make us wait would be a sin."
Be careful what you wish for, you may get it.

CHORUS

So now we're gathered in this joint,
Debating if there was a point.
But either way, it's over, so why sweat it?
We wanted our suspense resolved,
We wanted the big mystery solved,
Be careful what you wish for, you may get it.

CHORUS (Repeat as music fades)
