FILK: Gran's on the Run

[Freeman, Louise Margaret]

No: HPFGUIDX 175403

My first Filk.  To the tune of "Band on the Run" by Paul McCartney and Wings

[Neville, bruised and battered, gazes forlornly out the window of the Room 
of Requirement]

NEVILLE:
Stuck inside a dark Hogwarts.
Stuck here with the Carrows.
Never seeing no one nice again like you
Granny, you…
Granny, you…

[Musical interlude, as other DA members gradually enter room. Neville 
becomes less melancholy and more agitated, and begins pacing room]

NEVILLE:
If I ever get out of here
Gonna get me some Devil’s Snare
Gonna use it on Bellatrix.
I gotta buncha new hexes to share
If I ever get out of here!
ALL:
If we ever get out of here!

[Musical interlude, during which an owl flies through the window, dropping a 
letter in Nevilles’ lap. He opens it, reads, initially looks shocked, then 
breaks into a grin, leaps onto a chair and sings to group.]

NEVILLE:
Well. they knew I was leading an army of kids after Luna and Ginny fell.
They thought if they took hostages, resistance they could quell.
Gran’s on the run! Gran’s on the run!
Augusta fought! They musta thought, she’d crumble like a leaf, but now
Gran’s on the run! Gran’s on the run! Gran’s on the run! Gran’s on 
the run!

They sent one lone Death Eater to capture her, sweet old lady meek and mild
Who minded her manners in her vulture hat and raised her “Squib” 
grandchild.
Gran’s on the run! Gran’s on the run!
She called out, and the Dawlish lout, is lyin’ in St. Mungo’s!
And now Gran’s on the run! Gran’s on the run! 
ALL:
Gran’s on the run! Gran’s on the run! Gran’s on the run! Gran’s on 
the run!

NEVILLE:
Well, I got a letter telling me she’s proud I’m breaking the Carrows’ 
rules!
In this Room we’re hiding and we’ll keep on fighting till we lib’rate 
Hogwarts School!
ALL:
Gran’s on the run! Gran’s on the run!
NEVILLE: (slower)
I won’t be sad, I’m like my dad, to capture Death Eaters! 
with my ..
ALL:
Gran on the run! Gran on the run! Gran on the run! Gran on the Run!
