In my continuing effort not to study for my finals (one tomorrow, two next
week), I wrote this based on Savannah, Fare You Well by Jimmy Buffett.

Harry Do Take Care

(with thanks to Gail for her help)

Scene: Hermione pads down the stairs carrying a few things to study. It's
obvious that she hasn't been sleeping well. Settling at her favorite table,
she starts working on her homework, but her mind quickly wanders elsewhere.
Softly she begins to sing: 

There's something out there tonight
Some kind of chill in the weather
Somewhere Voldemort's mixing hate and fury together
I read that the dark forces of the Wizarding World are on the rise
The end could be forever
 
Now, you could wait another year or two 
But what's the use of stalling
Deep in the castle, even holdout Snape starts lying
Lately every night above Lavender's snores
I hear your destiny calling
 
It's such an ancient magic
And you alone are the heir
But all ours dreams and fears are held in your unshed tears
Harry, do take care
 
In the Tri-Wiz you won last year
Diggory dead, you stretched on the ground.
While we waited for the fury to die down 
The daily howlers rushing to me were wild and upsetting
That Ron could not calm down
 
It's such an ancient magic
And you alone are the heir
But all ours dreams and fears are held in your unshed tears
Harry, do take care

Shaking herself out of her reverie, she goes back to studying, never
noticing Harry sitting quietly on a couch next to the fire.

Ok, I guess I will go and study for tomorrow. Yuck!
