Watch That Vane!  To the tune of "You're So Vain" by the Great Carly 
Simon.  Midi found here:

To the ever-vigilant CMC (I remembered the original this time!)


Sometime towards the latter part of HBP, Neville tries to warn Harry 
about Romilda Vane.  

NEVILLE:

She walked in our compartment,
And she gave wooing you her best shot.
Her friends were giggling in the corridor.
They all thought that you were hot.

She had one eye cast on Luna as
Your company she sought.
Said, "Harry, dear, 
Please come grace our compartment,
Grace our compartment."

Yeah, watch that Vane!
I guess she thinks there's something about you.
Watch that Vane!
I guess she thinks there's something about you.
Won't you?  Won't you?

Well, you've studied Advanced Potions now,
But, boy, you're still quite naive.
When she gave to you those Choc'late Cauldrons, son,
You were so quick to believe.

Well, she gave away to win your love,
But they weren't really free.
She had some dreams
Bigger than Ton-Tongue Toffee,
Than Ton-Tongue Toffee.

Yeah, watch that Vane!
I guess she thinks there's something about you.
Watch that Vane!
I guess she thinks there's something about you.
Won't you?  Won't you?  Won't you?

(interlude)

She had some dreams
Bigger than Ton-Tongue Toffee,
Than Ton-Tongue Toffee.

Yeah, watch that Vane!
I guess she thinks there's something about you.
Watch that Vane!
I guess she thinks there's something about you.
Won't you?  Won't you?

Well, I hear you shoved the sweets into your trunk,
And so you were not undone.
But who knew your dear friend would soon munch all them down,
And be the fellow whose heart she had won?

Well, you should have binned them all that time,
Avoided a near-miss.
That underhand try 
Hexed the life of a close friend,
Life of a close friend.

Yeah, watch that Vane!
I guess she thinks there's something about you.
Watch that Vane!
I guess she thinks there's something about you.
Won't you?  Won't you?

Watch that Vane!
I guess she thinks there's something about you.
Watch that Wave!
(repeat and fade)


Ginger, who was inspired to write this filk by a huge windstorm and 
must now go reattatch some of the siding on her house.
