having a really hard time with it...  Anyway, upon reading OotP, I 
got "Dumbledore's Army" stuck in my head to the tune of Elvis 
Costello's "Oliver's Army."  Besides "Dumbledore" and "Oliver" 
fitting well, it's about getting career advice and could work with 
being an auror instead of a soldier (hem hem).

hg now:
Odile, oh, yes, I'll take on the task.  "Dumbledore's Army" has been 
rattling around in my brain to the same tune since I read OoP too.  
Here goes:


Dumbledore's Army
filked by hg with many thanks to Odile for the prompt.
 
Voldemort is stalking
The orb in the D.O.M. at night
My mind goes sleepwalking
Follows him to doors that are locked tight  

McGonagall's interrogation:
"What's your plan for a future occupation?"

Dumbledore's army is my true calling! 
Dumbledore's army (our skills appalling
) –
Still I would never be anywhere else 
Than here today!  

We've got no time for traitors;
We'll really put you in your place.
You won't laugh, infiltrator, 
When "SNEAK" is branded on your face!

Only took one discovered session –
One vacant post, but no more lessons
 

Dumbledore's army is here to stay! 
Dumbledore's army is on our way –
And I would never be anywhere else 
Than here today!

The Order sits on its hands;
The Ministry's head is in the sand.
We could be the next Defeaters,
Ready to hex all the Death Eaters,
With help from all the Houses (and a few good Beaters!)
 
But there's some danger: 
It's quite the terminal career. 
Still we must stay arranged.
(Don't put the word in Mr. Fudge's ear!)
 
If you're bad at charms or scared of Snape – 
We can help you get in Wizarding shape! 

Dumbledore's Army – we take anyone!
Dumbledore's Army – subversive and fun!
And we'll be gathering somewhere else,
Some future day
