The Charlie Daniel's Band has a well known song, "The Devil went down
to Georgia.' In which it tells the story of the Devil betting that he
can out fiddle a boy named Johnny, a bet he proceeds to lose. I was
listening to it earlier and suddenly the words, "Voldemort went down
to Hogwarts" wormed their way into my ear.

It loses metre at certain points but on the whole, for my first filk,
I think it came out quite good.

Voldemort went down to Hogwarts
He was lookin' for the wizard to kill
He was in a mood
'Cause he was in a brood
So he was willin' to make a deal

When he came upon this young man
Wavin' his wand and swingin' it about
And Voldemort jumped
Up on an enchanted stump
And said boy let me tell you what

I guess you didn't know it
but I'm wizard here too
And if you care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you

Now you cast a pretty good spell, boy
But give this wizard his due
I'll bet a wand of gold
Against your soul
'Cause I know I'm better than you

The boy said my name's Harry
And it might be wrong
But I'll take your bet
And you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been

Harry flick up your wand and cast your spell hard
Cause hell's broke loose in Hogwarts and Voldemort's on his guard
And if you win you get this shiny wand made of gold
But if you lose Voldemort takes your soul.

Voldemort drew out his wand
And he gave a frightful yell
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he waved up his spell

Then he flicked the wand through the air
And it made a evil hiss
And a band of deatheaters joined in
And it sounded something like this

[Instrumental]

When Voldemort finished
Harry said well you're pretty good old son
Just sit right in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done

He cast Fire on the Mountain
Run evil, run
Harry's got Voldemort in a trap
Lucius in a jail cell, clawing and crying
Narcissa does your gobl'n bite
No child, no

[Instrumental]

Voldemort howled in anger
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he cast that golden wand
On the ground at Harry's feet

Harry said, Voldy just come on back
If you ever leave from Azkaban
I done told you once you son of a gun
I'm the best there's ever been

And he cast Fire on the Mountain
Run evil, run
Harry's got Voldemort in a trap
Lucius in a jail cell, clawing and crying
Narcissa does your gobl'n bite
No child, no

[Instrumental to end]
