OK, I decided to go on with my theme from 2 filks ago, so to follow my task one filk, here is:

The Second Task
To the tune of "It's a Dangerous Game" from the broadway musical Jekyll and Hyde 
music by Frank Wildhorn.

Scene:  Harry enters the water for the second task.  As he swallows the gillyweed, sharp pains pierce his neck.  He ducks under the water, swims, and starts to sing:

Harry: I feel the water cold on my shoulders, 
The painful gills as they run up my neck, 
Looking for Ron, and maybe Hermione too,
Hope by the end I'm not a total wreck! 
Now I've got to be quick, 
Gotta use every trick,
Just to rescue my pal named Ron
'Cause he's down in the lake. (This is too much to take!)
I'm a wizard; I'm not a swan! 
Hope I've got some good aim 
With my wand, all the same, 
For my senses proclaim 
It's a dangerous game. 
A grindylow has me by the ankles, 
The giant squid seems a bit peckish, too.
It's just so dark, I can't find my way down here; 
The "Famous Potter" doesn't know what to do! 
If I'm not there in time 
Will they commit the crime?
Either way, I've just got to win. 
All I know is I'm lost, 
and I'm getting wave-tossed. 
My emotions are in a spin. 
I know Myrtle will claim 
That survival's a shame 
But I have to proclaim 
It's a dangerous game. 
I can't speak, not one bit, 
Bubbles fly with every word. 
Mermen speak, they can't help. 
The worst news that I've ever heard!
Now I'm cutting the cord
(Wish I'd kept that old sword...)  
Just to rescue my Weasley friend. 
Now that Krum is here, too 
I know what I can do. 
Rescue Gabby; she's near the end.
As I climb like a plane,   
I just hate all this fame 
Everyone knows my name 
Stinkin' Rita's to blame!
But I've got to proclaim 
It's a dangerous game.
Quite a dangerous game.
What a dangerous game!

"You haven't been getting into the Gaffer's home brew again, have you?"
"No... Well, yes, but that's beside the point."
