Go Show Us Your Spell (a filk)

[Haggridd]

No: HPFGUIDX 80605

This is a filk of the song "Go Into Your Dance" from the musical
"Forty-Second Street."


This is the seventh filk in the new filk musical "At 12 Grimmauld Place".

I dedicate this filk to Gail Bohacek
                                Go Show Us Your Spell

(SCENE:  Harry is at a disciplinary hearing by the Wizengamot. 
Despite Minister of Magic Cornelius Oswald Fudge's and his Senior
Undersecretary, Dolores Jane Umbridge's attempts to keep the hearing
focused on Harry's offenses against the Decree for the Reasonable
Restriction of Underage Sorcery, the head of the Department of Magical
Law Enforcement, Madam Amelia Susan Bones, appears more interested in
Harry's ability to conjure a Patronus.)

HARRY POTTER:
One! Two! Dementors!
Gave us a melancholy case of the blues,
I had a remedy at hand.
If I would save my cousin from their abuse,
Then I had to use my wand.

We would'a been singin' a sad and blue song,

MADAM BONES:
Go show us your spell.

HARRY POTTER:
Unless I'd learned how to sing that new song, 

MADAM BONES:
Go show us your spell.

It's a big deal; you're very young. 
If corporeal, it really must have stung.

HARRY POTTER: 
To put off sorrow until tomorrow,
I showed `em my spell;
I heard `em wailing their frightening chorus,
I showed `em my spell;
I cast it first in Forbidden Forest,
I showed `em my spell.

MADAM BONES:
You cast Patronus, I'd love a look, 
And there's a bonus; you might get off the hook!
A raw beginner can be a winner,
Just you give `em hell,
Take your wand and
Go show us your-  
(Madam Bones is interrupted by a tapping sound from Dolores Umbridge.)

DOLORES UMBRIDGE:
You cast Patronus, that you admit, 
And there's the onus; the crime that you did commit!
You are a minor, don't be a whiner,
Yes, you cast that spell 
Brake your wand and
Throw you in a cell. 
 
MADAM BONES (with a frosty look over at the source of the interruption):
A raw beginner can be a winner,
And all will be well,
Take your wand and
Go show us your-
Go show us your-

(The cacophony of tapping by Dolores Umbridge has become so loud 
that it disrupts any further proceedings of the disciplinary hearing, 
which is adjourned.  Harry subsequently learns that he has been
exonerated.)
