As HARRY arrives in Hogwarts, he sees a terrifying spectacle – a 
squadron of Dementors patrolling the streets. The Chief Dementor 
leads the squad, playing on the bagpipes as they other dementors 
engage in their ritual fugitive-hunting dance.

CHORUS OF DEMENTORS
Mentors!
Search till there's not a single stone unturned!
Search till the fugitive is black and burned!
Do not spare his soul
>From our grim patrol!
Search until Black has won the kiss he's earned!

(The dementors leap in the air, uttering wild cry and war whoops)
 
Search! 
Search!
Quit this joking and get Sirius!
Quit this joking and get Sirius!

Search!
Catch the heir of Voldemort!
Suck!
Kiss the heir of Voldemort!

Search!
Black shall once more be our Prisoner of Azkaban!
No one shall escape our Prison of Azkaban!
Search!
Search ye dementors!
Search! 
Search ye dementors
Search ye, `mentors!

(To escape the dementors, HARRY ducks into the Three Broomsticks, and 
hides under a table, without at first realizing that the table is 
occupied by 	FUDGE, MADAM ROSMERTA, McGONAGALL, FLITWICK & HAGRID, 
discussing the fugitive Sirius Black.)

Safeguarding Our Harry (PoA, Chap. 10)

To the tune of Waiting for my Dearie from Lerner & Loewe's 
Brigadoon

FUDGE:
Sirius wants to make awful reprisals
Against young Harry who stopped the Dark Lord.
So it's essential his friends and allies all
Approach this threat with our minds in accord

This is my thought, we should not be a-tellin'
And fill the lad with such anxiety
For though the story is very compellin'
He should not know Black slew his family

ALL (except HARRY):
Not one word we'll say.
How they were betrayed.

FUDGE
Safegaurdin' our Harry, confidentially
Let him know nothing of this history:
How those two were rarely ever seen apart
Young James and Black were quite the work of art.

McGONAGALL:
With their pranks and their jokes and young James' old cloak
They were brothers through and through
And on James' wedding day his best man seemed OK
But he served You-Know-Who.

ALL: 
When Lil did child carry they asked Black to be
Godfather to their Harry
.. 

HARRY (shocked)
– Me!

FUDGE:
Then the Potters were to go underground
Dumble warned them they must hide
For unknown loathsome traitors were skulkin' around
Working for the other side

FLITWICK
The Fidelius should have kept them safe
If Black kept his solemn oath.

HAGRID:
But then off he went to Voldy and betrayed them both

When Voldy struck Harry his force was laid low
And Black was forced his true colors to show

McGONAGALL:
Pete Pettigrew, unwary, faced Black in a duel
Then thirteeen lives were lost so swift and cruel

FUDGE
He was caught by my staff as he laughed and he laughed
So a life sentence we gave
Fleeing from Azkaban for his sinister plan
To bring Vold from the grave. 

ALL (except HARRY):
We'll fend off the fury of Sirius B.
But who'll serve as his jury?

HARRY (angered & determined):
Me!
