Shadow Waltz (a filk)

[Haggridd]

No: HPFGUIDX 81186

This is a filk of a song by the same name from the musical
"Forty-Second Street."

It is also the penultimate filk to be done in the filk musical "At 12
Grimmauld Place."  One more and I'll be done!


                       Shadow Waltz 

SCENE:  Forced to break her cover because of Mundungus Fletcher's
dereliction of duty, Arabella Figg explains to Harry that the old
crowd, the Order of the Phoenix, has been watching Harry's every
movement to protect him

ARABELLA FIGG:
Lying by the wall
We can see you sprawl.
Here and there and ev'rywhere,
Stuck to you like glue,
Though you had no clue.
There we were, 
Watching you.

>From the shadows, 
Safety we will bring to you.
We know Death Eaters'll take a swing at you.
Though I'm just a Squib, I know a thing or two
We will linger there,
Let the Foe beware..

In the summer
Let the Dursleys care for you,
While the Order watches ev'rywhere for you.
The old crowd takes its cue,
>From the shadows, we are ever guarding you.
>From the shadows, we are ever guarding you.
>From the shadows,
>From the shadows,
>From the shadows,

>From the shadows
The Dementors came for you..
They cursed Dudley when they tried to aim for you.
Even so, he tried to put the blame on you,
Your aunt was fouler;
She got a Howler.

In the summer,
There's an awful lot to do 
Some of us already fought for you.
And though you never knew,
>From the shadows, we will ever guard-
>From the shadows, we will ever guard-
>From the shadows, we are ever guarding you.

 
In the autumn,
We will all be leaving here,
Fear not, Harry.  Seeing is believing, here.
One and all, we'll be true,
>From the shadows, we are ever guarding you, hear?
>From the shadows, we are ever guarding you.
