Oh, When The..., a filk based on "Oh, When the Saints Go Marching In"

Dedicated to annemehr, who put the blasted tune in my head ;0)

Harry, Hermione, and Ron sing as they go through the obstacle course 
that lead to the Philosopher's Stone:

(Note: as a character drops out in canon, so does his/her singing in 
the filk)

Trio:

Oh, when the dog begins to growl,
Begins to bark and snarl and howl.
Just play it a mus'cal number,
When the dog begins to growl.

Oh, when the plant begins to snare,
Begins to grab you everywhere.
Just throw some light on that subject,
When the plant begins to snare.

Oh, when the keys begin to fly,
Begin to soar both low and high.
Just hop a broom and catch the blue one,
When the keys begin to fly.

Oh, when the game demands you play.
Demands you follow rules their way.
Just hold your square and heed Ron's orders,
When the game demands you play.

Oh, when the troll is knocked out cold,
And you don't have to be so bold.
Just be glad your wand has no bogies,
When the troll is knocked out cold.

Oh, when the door is blocked by flames,
And vials and poems comprise the games.
Just use your good old Muggle logic,
When the door is blocked by flames.

Oh, when the Stone's in Erised,
And the Dark Lord's on Quirrell's head.
Just be glad your skin is protected,
When the Stone's in Erised.

Ginger, who is surprised how much action JKR can pack into so few 
pages.
