I'll Fly Instead based on I'll Cry Instead by the Beatles.

To Pippin, with condolences on the Vamp!Snape thing.

Harry, in the Forbidden Forest, sings:

I've got a vision here in my head-drives me mad.
Now I need wheels to find my dear Goddad.
If I could drive the A*
I'd head to London town that way, 
But I can't, so I'll fly instead.

I've got a view in my noggin that's burning with great heat.
My Godfather's facing his defeat.
That retched Umbridge cow!
Her floo would get me there right now,
But I can't, so I'll fly instead.

Thestrals will get all these people there.
I guess they can fly anywhere.
I'm gonna fly and save the day
But I'll have help from my DA.

And when I do, with help from my guys and girls,
We're gonna send DE's home in a whirl.
I need a portkey or floo, 
But a bony herd of equine things will do,
So I guess, I'll fly instead.

*referring to the Anglia


Ginger, pondering that guys named John sometimes use the nickname 
Jack, and wondering if that is the "wolf connection" as John is 
Remus' middle name.  Wolfman Jack?  Maybe?
