To the tune of O Little Town of Bethlehem

THE SCENE: 12 Grimmauld Place. HARRY is less than receptive to 
MOODY'S display of an old photograph of the original Order of the 
Phoenix

MOODY:
O, Riddle's whims bought death to them
Who fought him in the war
You see them pose in my photos,
The OOP before.
Here is Caradoc Dearborn
Who somehow disappeared.  
Poor Edgar Bones got laid out prone
And Elphie's hat looks weird

Voldy himself slew Meadowes,
McKinnon felt his spleen
Benjy Fenwick, poor chap, then quick
Got blown to smithereens.
O mourned we hard together
With tears and deep unease
When Gideon and Fabian
Were slain by five DEs 

(HARRY notices Peter Pettigrew standing alongside his parents)

HARRY
How secretly, how secretly
Did Pete his plans keep hidden
The dirty rat my Mum and Dad
Sold to do Voldy's biddin'
No one knew what was coming,
Especially not Black
In his crew cut no scuttlebutt
Warned him of Pete's attack.

O, Voldy's whims bought death to them
In Moody's photograph
I at this date can't calculate
Who'll have the final laugh.
Moody was downright eager
To give this show-and-tell
His Polaroid made me annoyed
It's unforgivable!
