Riding on a Thestral

ttto "City of New Orleans"

Riding on a Thestral south from Hogwarts,
Hurtling onward through the empty air,
With my friends from school all coming with me,
Hope that we can all safely get there.

Ron's complaints are getting shrill
I wish that he would just stay still,
And Luna's singing out "Ho-yo-to-ho!"
Hermione just plays it cool
'Course, you know that she's no fool,
And I don't think there's much she doesn't know.

Good morning, Ministry, how are you?
Now, don't you know me?  I'm the Potter boy!
I'm here to save my godfather from evil,
The Death Eaters have come here to destroy!

Sitting on a Thestral, close to heaven,
Looking up at stars and skies of black,
Neville's really taking this quite calmly,
Hope he'll be the same when we attack.

And Ginny Weasley's coming too,
She wants words with You-Know-Who,
Her temper's like her hair, they're both bright red,
If she catches Voldemort
She's got plans to pay that score
Before she's done, he'll wish that he were dead!

Good morning, Ministry, how are you?
Now, don't you know me?  I'm the Potter lad!
I'm here to rescue my godfather
>From wizards who have really been quite bad!

Descending on my Thestral, down to London,
I can see the city's lights below,
The Thestrals really know just how to get here,
I hope they take their landing nice and slow!

And as we climb off of our steeds
The next thing that each of us needs
Is badges that'll let us in the door,
So we squeeze into the booth
Tell the fellytone the truth,
We get six badges, just that much, no more.

Good morning, Ministry, how are you?
Now, don't you know me?  I'm the Potter lad!
I'm going on in to fight the nameless dark lord
I'm going to prove to you that I'm not mad!
