FILK: Open at the Close

[Caius Marcius]

No: HPFGUIDX 175298

For me (as well as many others) Chap. 34 in DH was one of the most
deeply moving passages in Canon. In creating a filk on this scene,
it is obvious that the filker needs to find a vehicle of suitable
dignity and purpose, one that will communicate the tragic,
transcendent and elegaic elements of the story.

Or maybe something with a good beat that you can dance to.....

Open at the Close (DH, Chap. 34)

To the tune of Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley and the Comets

Dedicated to CV - and a round of Purple Turbans to everyone!

THE SCENE: The Forbidden Forest. Into the Woods, in his Agony and
Lament, HARRY discovers that No One Is Alone.

HARRY (as he splits apart the Snitch):
There's no way to cope, as my woe grows
I'm at the end of rope, as my woe grows
I have not the faintest hope, as my woe grows
It's gonna open at the close tonight

(Enter the ethereal quartet of JAMES, LILY, SIRIUS & LUPIN)

LUPIN:
You'll let Lord Voldy knock you dead
`Cause a Horcrux's stuck inside your head
It's gonna open at the close tonight
You'll expose yourself to foes outright

HARRY & QUARTET:
Gonna ope, gonna open at the close tonight

JAMES:
My son, you've got your mother's eyes
We'll usher you to a brave demise
It's gonna open at the close tonight
He'll depose the Chosen One, all right.

HARRY & QUARTET:
Gonna ope, gonna open at the close tonight

(Instrumental interlude, as HARRY'S jitters are replaced with
jitterbugging)

SIRIUS:
We four came down to you from heaven
Tragic ending for Book Seven
It's gonna open at the close tonight
You will doze through those eternal nights

HARRY & QUARTET:
Gonna ope, gonna open at the close tonight

LILY:
When the two of us meet face to face,
There won't be a dry eye in the place
It's gonna open at the close tonight
Gonna die in prose of Jo's tonight

HARRY & QUARTET:
Gonna ope, gonna open at the close tonight

(Second instrumental interlude, with further jitterbugging by the
Quintet, which suggests that Death really *is* the Next Great
Adventure. HARRY & QUARTET enter the Death Eaters' Camp)

HARRY
What a clumsy-ox, I have dropped the stone
And I face the Dark Lord all alone
It's gonna open at the close tonight
And his blows are unopposed tonight

HARRY, VOLDEMORT & CHORUS OF DEATH EATERS
Gonna ope, gonna open at the close tonight!

(VOLDEMORT casts the AK curse on HARRY, causing both of them to
crumple to the ground.)
