This is a filk of the title song from the classic movie, then 
musical "Forty-Second Street," called "At 12 Grimmauld Place.
I hope this will be my first filk in another filk-musical.

As usual, asterisks indicate italics unless otherwise specified.


I dedicate this filk to Gail B., a good friend and a great filkmaven!


At 12 Grimmauld Place
(SCENE:  Auror and newer member of the Order of the Phoenix 
Nymphadora Tonks explains to Harry some of the things he has wanted 
to learn about all summer.)

NYMPHADORA TONKS::
In a seedy part of London town,
You'll find a little square.
In that little square in London town,
You'll find a *pied-a-terre*.
A crazy quilt that P. N. Black built,
Quite Unplottable in London town,
But nonetheless it's there.

Come inside the secret base
Of the Order of the Phoenix, luv

(Mad-Eye Moody hands Harry a piece of parchment to read
while he uses the Put-Outer.)

Come inside the secret base
Of the Order of the Phoenix, luv,
At 12 Grimmauld Place.
It's kept hidden just in case
The Death Eaters try to search or to spy
At 12 Grimmauld Place.

There's one feature, name of Kreacher
Lacking charm or grace
Hear him mutter like a nutter,
"Traitors to their race!"

And wall to wall, you'll love it all
Where Mundungus Fletcher hides from the chase,
At 12 Grimmauld Place.

I know you've missed Ron Weasley,
You can also see friend Hermione,
At 12 Grimmauld Place.
Hear a scream like a Banshee,
On a tapestry is the family tree,
At 12 Grimmauld Place.

By the curtain see for certain
A most unpleasant face,
And that painting keeps complaining
That we're a disgrace.

It's Mrs. Black on the attack.
One of many wonders found in this space
Unpack!  Kick back!  House Black's no shack!
At 12 Grimmauld Place!
