This filk is based on "The Tennis Song" from the Larry Gelbart 
musical "City of Angels".

I dedicate this song to Caius Marcus, who actually found a link to 
the music of "City of Angels":

           Don't Go To the Ball With Viktor Krum

Scene:  Ron confronts Hermione during the period leading up to the 
Tri-Wizard Tournament Second Task, before the Yule Ball.

Ron:       I saw that you were with Krum.
Hermione:  He was in the Library.
Ron:       So tell me why did he come?
Hermione:  Well, he came to talk to me.
           He was working up courage to ask me a 
               question.
Ron:       I bet it was really dumb!
Hermione:  I'll go to the Ball with Viktor Krum.


Ron:       It's just to make him join S.P.E.W.
Hermione:  No, he just wants to be nice.
Ron:       I can't agree with that view.
Hermione:  I can't accept your advice.
           And the Tri-Wizard Tournament's purpose is
               friendship.
Ron:       I don't believe he is our chum.
           Don't go to the Ball with Viktor Krum.

Hermione:  You don't treat me like a girl.  
Ron:       I leave all that to "Vicky".
Hermione:  At least he treats me like a girl;
           Can't afford to be picky.
Ron:       On that I quite concur.
Hermione:  Why don't you go ask Fleur?


Ron:       The Second Task will be rough.
           I say our goal is to win.
Hermione:  I think you've said quite enough.
           This competition is sin.
Ron:       I think you're being quite contrary
           To work with that bum. 
Hermione:  No, I'm for Harry.


Ron:       Then help him fathom that Egg.
Hermione:  Well, do you have any doubt?
Ron:       Harry should not have to beg.
Hermione:  And I think you shouldn't pout.
Ron:       Then you had best shake a leg.
           You know that time's running out!


Ron:       I heard that you will visit him.
           I'd like to tear him limb from limb.
Hermione:  You're far too grim;
           I think you should keep mum.
           Your complaints are wearing thin-- 
Ron:       He thinks your name is "Herm-Own-Ninny".

(As Duet)
Ron:       Don't go to the Ball with Viktor Krum.
Hermione:  I'll go to the Ball with Viktor Krum.
