Finale: Harry Potter and the Declaration of Independence (a filk)

[Haggridd]

No: HPFGUIDX 79847

This is a filk of the finale of the musical 1776, where John Hancock,
President of the Second Continental Congress, has its members called
to come forth and sign the Declaration of Independence.  Rather than
copy a scene from canon, I have chosen to have the Sorting Hat call
those witches and wizards who have performed in this filk musical
forward to take their bows.


I dedicate this filk to Caius Marcius Coriolanus.
                                      
                            Finale

SCENE:  The Great Hall, at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,
after a performance of the smash hit filk musical, "Harry Potter and
the Declaration of Independence."

(A snare drum magically beats out a staccato drumroll.)

SORTING HAT:
After I call out your name and House, you will come forward and
receive whatever appreciation is due you.  I applaud the efforts of
every witch and wizard involved.  I, for one certainly know how
difficult it is to get up and sing before the entire School!
