Dedicated to Constance Vigilance

THE SCENE: Lord Voldemort's retreat. RABASTAN LESTRANGE & ANTONIN 
DOLOHOV (a couple of Mugs who don't get to sing filks very often) get 
a rare star turn.

RABASTAN LESTRANGE:
What's happenin' with the Half-Blood?
I'll tell you what's happenin' with the Half-Blood
We do not as yet know whether or not the Prince is a good guy or a 
bad guy
But if he proves to be a good guy then we're going to kick his alf 
good!
That's what's happenin' with the Half-Blood!

DOLOHOV:
What's on with the writin'?
I'll tell you what's on with the writin'.
As of August 2004, Jo says she's half-way through The Half-Blood 
Prince
And of all her books this one is gonna be the most excitin'
That's what's on with the writin'!

RABASTAN:
What's happenin' in the next volume?
I'll tell you what's happenin' in the next volume.
JKR provides an array of villains
Who will be even more ghastly than Gollum
That's what's happenin' in the next volume!

BOTH:
The book's the second-to-last one
And the Dark Lord's gonna do another fast one

RABASTAN:
Yes, sir!
When a gal gives pain to drive Aurors insane,
You can bet that she's following the Dark Lord.

DOLOHOV:
When you see a Black getting blast through a Veil
By that gal outta jail who sure that Black was set up to fail

RABASTAN:
When a wretched fiend, who on meanness was weaned
Puts to use all the Polyjuice that he poured

BOTH:
Call it bad, call it rotten, but it never should be forgotten,
That the fiend's only following the Dark Lord.

DOLOHOV:
When you see some clown renting out his back crown 
You can bet that he's thinking of the Dark Lord

RABASTAN:
When a troll breaks loose and goes out of control
It is clear that the troll is pleasing the soul of our Riddle Lord

DOLOHOV:
If a wicked curse that is ranked with the worst
Sends a Wiz down to Azkaban's life-time ward

BOTH:
Call it cruel, call it savage
But the odds are better than average
That the Wiz is just following the Dark Lord.

DOLOHOV:
When you see an elf forced to beat on himself
He is owned by one honoring the Dark Lord.

RABASTAN:
When that guy Wormtail took a treacherous path
And so brought on the end of many a friend once he did the math

DOLOHOV:
When a Slyth'rin grad vows to be like his dad
Doin' deeds like the Death Eaters he's adored

BOTH:
Call him sly, call him vicious, ah, but that's because he's ambitious
For a chance to be following the Dark Lord,
Dark Lord, Dark Lord,
For a chance to be following the Dark Lord!
