Two filks from A Chorus Line (this *may* become a another full-length 
musical, if I can figure out what to do with "Hello Twelve")

I Can Do Bad

To the tune of I Can Do That, from A Chorus Line 

Dedicated to Gail B. (who cannot do bad)

BELLATRIX
I'm watchin' Frank with pain go mad
Said, I can do bad, I can do bad.
I was the Dark Lord's brightest grad,
Cause I can do bad, I can do bad.
One trial Crouch throws us in jail, 
His son, `dolfus,
Fourth man and me
But I defied B.C.
"Lock us away but we'll gain reward
>From the Dark Lord,
You Auror cad!
Hell, I can do bad,
I can do bad!"
I got to DOM and there met Black
Made my attack
And so took his life
Now it's finis (Padfoot, how sad!)
See, I can do this.
That I can do,
I can do bad!


In Fanfic

To the tune of Dance Ten, Looks Three (aka Tits and Ass) from A 
Chorus Line

Dedicated to Constance Vigilance

DRACO:
Canonically
I'm no Techno-Terminator
Just a losing second-rater
That it ain't it, that ain't it, kid
Canonically
I'm a dead duck
But there's writers who take some brighter
Views I'm not merely a schmuck

In fanfic 
I'm the Gothic poster child
With the wit of Oscar Wilde
And a sex appeal 
Totally unreal
In fanfic
Not just Crabbe & Goyle's mate
Suddenly I'm singin' my own song
In fanfic all decked out in
A leather thong

I exude a stern charisma
I collected from my Wiz pa
Canonically, 
I'm a blowhard and a coward
Soon by Potter overpowered
That it ain't it, that ain't it, kid
Rewrite, call me
For Dormiens!
I kick derriere when Cassandra Claire
Wields her potent pen.
How?
In fanfic,
I can play the total snob
Yet appeal to the mob
No lobotomy
No Longbottom, me!
As the champ
Seeker of the SQT
I will gain when suave and debonair
In fanfic, a whole new life
Of savoir-faire!

Be a cynic, 
Call it all absurd.
Act Byronically, 
And iconically
Fans'll hang on each word.
For in fanfic
Both in shipping and in slash 
I excel through looks and cash
Screw the textual
Keep it sexual 
Thin or thick, I'll go all and either way
I'm successful, handsome, young, and rich
In fanfic, yes, in fanfic,
Potter's my bitch!

Though I'm not much advocate of the good-guy Draco school, I must 
recommend Cassandra Claire's Draco Dormiens one of the most amusing 
and cleverly plotted HP fanfics
