FILK: Reading My Mind

[Caius Marcius]

No: HPFGUIDX 160100

To all the hundreds of newbies, welcome! From the fall of 2000 to 
about the fall of 2005, literally hundreds of filks were posted on 
HP4GU - if you search the archives to June 2003 when OOP was 
released, you'll find that new filks were posted almost single day. 
Over the last year, things have cooled off considerably, and new 
filks are seemingly a monthly rather than a daily feature on this 
site. But if any of our new members should have a talent for rhyming, 
I hope they will send their contributions here, and then allow me to 
post them on my site, Harry Potter Filks. 

Ginger, Filk-Maven First Class, recently posted a sublime (but 
characterstic) specimen of her creativity a few days ago. I'm 
following up with a filk on a somewhat obscure song, which I might 
hesitate to post, save for the fact that I have a You-Tube link for a 
concert performance.....

Reading My Mind (HBP, Chap. 15)

To the tune of Losing My Mind from Sondheim's Follies

You can see & hear this song performed on You-Tube:

THE SCENE: The last classroom in the corridor (well, that's what the 
book says). DRACO puts his newly-acquired Occlumency skills to good 
use against Snape.

DRACO:
The son steps up,
To serve You-Know-Who.
But Snape's corrupt,
What is he up to?
I wish he'd go,
But he's not reading my mind.

Snapey pretends
To serve You-Know-Who.
Detains my friends
With claims so untrue.
What does he know?
But he's not reading my mind.

My Auntie said
I could murder Dumbledore
If thoughts could be locked tight.
She knocked me flat
As a pancake to the floor,
Mental blockade
I learned that night.

I have a plan
I'm hiding from you,
I know I can
Keep thinking from you.
You say you'll aid me
I've your assistance declined
For you ain't reading my mind.

I wish he'd go,
But he's not reading my mind.

On Christmas Eve,
Sneaking softly down the hall
By Argus Filch was found
Tried to suck-up
In a Draco Malfoy drawl
But Sevvy Snape
Made me come `round.

You tell me now
My Mum asked you to
You took some Vow
Well, bully for you.
You want my glory
I've your assistance declined
For you're not reading my mind...
