Magical History Bore

To the tune of Magical Mystery Tour

THE SCENE: History of Magic class. Students mourn (not very deeply, though) the sudden death of the History of Magic Professor BINNS. As they await the arrival of their new substitute, the ghost of BINNS make his first appearance as walks through the blackboard …

BINNS
Rise up, rise up as the History bore.
Rise up, rise up as the History bore.
Rise up for I'm an apparition, rise up as the History bore.
Rise up I'll speak sans intermission, rise up as the History bore.
The Magical History bore is going to talk here all day
Going to talk here all day

Rise up, rise up as the History bore.
Rise up, rise up as the History bore.
Rise up I'll give you dreary things to read, rise up as the History bore.
Rise up stupefaction guaranteed, rise up as the History bore.
The Magical History bore is wanting to talk here all day
Wanting to talk here all day

Rise up, rise up as the History bore.
Rise up, rise up as the History bore.
Rise up as a new emanation, rise up as the History bore.
Rise up for massive annotation, rise up and make everyone snore.
The Magical History bore, for dying won't take me away,
Dying won't take me away, take me away……

Binns launches into a lecture about 11th Century Goblin fiscal policy and taxation reform which lulls everyone into a deep slumber


The Fool in the Hut

A filk by Stella to the tune of The Fool on the Hill

Day after day, alone in the hall
A giant with a cardboard box is keeping perfectly still
Nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's half-giant
Eventually they expelled him

He's the fool in the hut
Who walks up the school grounds
And he uses his umbrella
To help him get around

Well on the way, he walks through the town
When Dumbledore walks up to him and says perfectly loud
"Hagrid, we need you to go and get the Potter boy"
He left and no one noticed

The fool in the hut
Who walks up the school grounds
And he uses his umbrella
To help him get around

The Bug On The Sill (From GoF)

A filk by Gail to the tune The Fool On The Hill

HERMIONE:
Another big scoop - that Skeeter cow
Getting all this information, I don't know how
I want to know how she does it
Harry then suggested a bug
There must be some sort of answer
But the bug on the sill
See those markings right there
Around her antenna
Like the glasses she wears

Throughout the year - buzzing around
What she is doing is defiantly not allowed
No one would be able to see her
Not even Professor Moody
She could fly around unnoticed
The there bug on the sill
While I'm speaking with Krum...
On the statue that night...
Malfoy's talking to someone...

And now that I have caught her
Told her what she is going to do
One year without writing
Keeping to herself that quill
She's an Animagus
But she's unregistered
Now she won't bother us...


Flying

Flying is instrumental. This is the song that was playing on the radio while Harry and Ron were flying the Ford Anglia to Hogwarts


Wisteria Way (OOP, Chap. 1)

A filk by Stella to the tune of Blue Jay Way

HARRY:
There's a fog out side today
My cousin has lost his way
"I will knock you out" he says
Now I've lost my wand instead

Please don't stay long
Please don't you stay very long
Please don't stay long
Or we may have no souls

As my hands searched for my wand
I knew my time was almost gone
Dudley lay there on the street
A dementor he'd soon meet

Please don't stay long
Please don't you stay very long
Please don't stay long
Or we may have no souls

I said Lumos to my wand
Because my soul may soon be gone
Soon will be the break of day
Sitting here in Wisteria Way

Please don't stay long
Please don't you stay very long
Please don't stay long
Or we may have no souls

Please don't stay long
Please don't you stay very long
Please don't stay long
Or we may have no souls

When Voldemort Ruled (GoF, Chap. 14)

A filk by Stella to the tune of Your Mother Should Know

MOODY:
Let's settle down and learn of a spell
That people used to kill, when Voldemort ruled
Death Eaters used it thirteen years ago,
When Voldemort ruled, (Ah, when he ruled)
When Voldemort ruled (Ah ah)

Copy this down:
There are three curses, Unforgivable
The worst was used to kill when Voldemort ruled
With this curse many people met their doom,
When Voldemort ruled (Ah, when he ruled)
When Voldemort ruled (Ah ah)

Lift up your wands and point them at me
And say the words: 'Avada Kedavra'
I wouldn't get more than a small nose bleed.
Such power you need. (Ah, power)
For it to succeed. (Ah ah)
Such power you need. (Ah, power)
For it to succeed. (Ah ah)

I'll say it again:
There are three curses, Unforgivable
The worst was used to kill when Voldemort ruled
With this curse many people met their doom,
When Voldemort ruled (Ah, when he ruled)
When Voldemort ruled (Ah ah)
When Voldemort ruled (Ah, when he ruled)
When Voldemort ruled (Ah ah)
When Voldemort ruled (Ah, when he ruled)
When Voldemort ruled (Ah ah)

Yule Ball They'll Brawl (GoF, Chap. 23)

A filk by Gail to the tune of Hello, Goodbye

WARNING: It gets a bit Shippy at the end here.

HARRY (R/H SHIPPERS):
Ron asked, "Who will you go
With tonight?" Hermione said, "No."
Uh-oh
Although he tries, she won't let him know
He wants to know
On Christmas night there'll be a fight once Ronald knows
He wants to know
On Christmas night there'll be a fight once Ronald knows

Ron said, "Krum?" She said, "So?"
"It's not right," Ron said, "He is the foe!"
Low-blow
Ron was uptight once he came to know
(Yule Ball they'll brawl, Yule Ball they'll brawl) Ron went psycho
(They'll brawl) On Christmas night there was a fight, Ron went psycho
(Yule Ball they'll brawl, Yule Ball they'll brawl) 'Cause of her beau
(They'll brawl) On Christmas night there was a fight 'cause of her beau

I - I - I - I - I - I hate it when they fight, they fight
Oh no!

Like dynamite Ron started to blow
Hurt his ego
On Christmas night there was a fight 'tween the duo
Wished I could go
When on that night they had their fight, wished I could go

She was mad (Was too bad) And although (But I.M.H.O.)
They both yelled (Something else) It didn't come to blows (Was going on below)
Whoa-oh

Now with hindsight, I think that I know
I think I know
The reason why Ron picked that fight and caused such woe
I think I know
By morning's light things were all right, but I'm not slow
I think I know
To my delight they were polite, they let it go
I think I know
When Christmas night they had their fight the seeds were sown

(We know-oh-oh!)

(Ron and Hermione-ah! CHA CHA Ron and Hermione-ah Hey-la! Ron and Hermione...)


Flying the Car (CoS, Chap. 5)

A filk by Stella to the tune of I Am the Walrus

SNAPE:
Look right here, you are here
Driving the car that Muggles saw up flying
If you were both in Slytherin house
You'd be expelled…Explain yourselves.

RON:
We were at the platform, walking through the barrier
We couldn't get through, then the train left without us
We didn't have any choice,
We had to take the car.

HARRY:
We really had to.

SNAPE:
The Muggles saw you.

DUMBLEDORE:
Quiet, Professor.
It's not up to you.

SNAPE:
They flew here from London city,
Risking the exposure of our world
Look at them fly that car up in the sky
A damaged tree, too…They're flying
They're fly- they're flying
They're fly-

RON:
That's alright, Professor
We'll go up and get our things

McGONAGALL:
What do you mean, Weasley?
I will not expel you
Well at least I won't expel you today, anyhow

HARRY:
Thank you, Professor

SNAPE:
I hate you, Potter
They should expel you
I can't stand you two

McGONAGALL:
Still, I must impress upon you
Of the seriousness
Of what you've done, you'll get detention
And a letter to your folks

DUMBLEDORE:
You're free to go now
I hope that you know now
Not to take flying cars up to school
Off to bed, you two

Back up in the common room there
is a party that was planned for you (hohoho, hehehe, hahaha)
See how they laugh
All on your behalf
See how they think you're amazing

Fred and George are jealous
Back up in Gryffindor tower
"Why couldn't you let us come
With you in the flying car?"
Man, you should have seen their faces
When we said hello.

Got away from Fred
Ron was filled with dread
Climbed up the steps and went up to bed
As our story was spread

Random muttering

I Am A Werewolf

A filk by Gail to the tune of I Am The Walrus

Note...the "a-a-arooo" bit is supposed to be the sound of a wolf howling, okay?

LUPIN:
You are there and I'm aware that you are scared because I am a werewolf
See how I'm shunned by everyone they do not know I'm lonely

Turn into a werewolf, bitten when I was quite young
Hogwarts School of Magic, Dumbledore Headmaster
Man, I never thought that I would be able to attend
My name is Lupin, Remus J. Lupin
I am a werewolf...a-a-arooo!

Madame Pomfrey, each month takes me
She takes me to the Womping Willow
There I will change, my body rearrange into a wolf
I'm changing, I'm changing
I'm changing, I'm changing

Animagi buddies, Wormtail and Padfoot and Prongs
Young and thoughtless students, dangerous near misses
Boy, the fun we had running all around the school grounds
My name is Lupin, Remus J. Lupin
I am a werewolf...a-a-arooo!

Sitting in the Shrieking Shack now, waiting for the moon
When the moon comes soon I will transform
My form will become a monster
My name is Lupin, Remus J. Lupin
I am a werewolf...a-a-arooo!

With this illness, painful changes
Feeling estranged from other people
Hear how I growl like a wolf on the prowl
Hear how I yowl
I'm howling

Greasy git Severus, watching from a Hogwarts tower
Hopes to get us expelled, trying always spying
Man, he sees me leave and he wants to know where I go
My name is Lupin, Remus J. Lupin
I am a werewolf...a-a-arooo a-a-arooo!
A-a-arooo, a-a-arooo arooo!

Remember, the Walrus was Paul...goo goo g'joob.


I Am Virginia (from CoS)

A filk by Polish Girl to the tune of I Am The Walrus

I am here and you are here
an' we're not s'posed to be together
I'm not gonna run like a bullet from a gun
Not gonna try to fly
I'm crying
Sitting in the stands
Waiting for you to catch the Snitch
Population debates, stupid bloody Chamber
Potter you been a rotter

You let the Bas'lisk go

I am a Weasley
I have six brothers
I am Virginia
Goo goo g' joob

Professor Snape sneakin'
Greasy little git, always in a row
Watchin' how you fly like a blur in the sky
I'm not gonna run
I'm crying
You're crying, we're crying
Twitchy little ferret
Bouncing like a rubber ball
Minute little Flitwick
Goddess of knowledge
Filch, where is your Norris girl
Knickers has she not

I am a Weasley
I have six brothers
I am Virginia
Goo goo g' joob

Sitting in my little corner
Waiting for HIM to come
If he don't come I'll have a cold bum

From sitting on the concrete floor

I am a Weasley
I have six brothers
I am Virginia
Goo goo g' joob

Expert Seeker meanie Malfoy
Don't you think my brothers laugh at you?
See how they smile like angels in the sky
See how they sneak!
You're crying

Professor Sprout climbing the Whomping Willow
Silly old Lockhart singing his own praises
Man, you should have seen them kissing
Nearly Headless Nick

I am a Weasley
I have six brothers
I am Virginia
Goo goo g' joob
Goo goo g' joob
Goo goo g' goo
goo goo g' joob goo
juba juba juba
juba juba juba
juba juba juba juba
juba juba


Quidditch Forever

A filk by Stella to the tune of Strawberry Fields Forever

Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to the Quidditch field
Where life is surreal
There's nothing to get hung about
We'll play Quidditch forever

Living is easy when you know
how to play Quidditch up with me
Playing is never hard and you know it will always work out

Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to the Quidditch field
Where life is surreal
There's nothing to get hung about
We'll play Quidditch forever
No one, I think, would disagree
Zooming around up high and low
Leaving behind all your troubles,
It's suddenly alright and nothing ever will be bad

Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to the Quidditch field
Where life is surreal
There's nothing to get hung about
We'll play Quidditch forever

Some people hate our sport, but to me
it always feels just like a dream
And I don't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong
It always seems just right to me

Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to the Quidditch field
Where life is surreal
There's nothing to get hung about
We'll play Quidditch forever

We'll play Quidditch forever

We'll play Quidditch forever

Forbidden Forest Forever

To the tune of Strawberry Fields Forever

THE SCENE: The Forbidden Forest. ENTER RON & HARRY (in a state of intense anxiety), accompanied by a relaxed and cheerful HAGRID

HARRY & RON
Filch has sent us down, and we're going to Forbidden Forest
He must abhor us, he's hoping we'll get hung no doubt
Forbidden Forest Forever

HAGRID
Walking ain't easy with eyes closed, missing so much that's grand to see

ENTER the FORD ANGLIA, its motor purring affectionately

Cars will grow feral if they can get the wherewithal, then they will motor through the trees

HAGRID & FORD ANGLIA
Please do not meltdown while we're going through Forbidden Forest
It shall not bore us, and all our friends are coming out
Forbidden Forest Forever

Enter ARAGOG, and his offspring to the Power Ten

ARAGOG
No one I think is in my web, I mean my kids have got to eat.
That is you can you know drop in but it's all right, that is I think your friends are sweet

CHILDREN OF ARAGOG
If we take you down, we will drag you through Forbidden Forest
Huge trees and horrors, and spider webs all hung about
Forbidden Forest Forever

Enter CHORUS OF CENTUARS

CHORUS OF CENTAURS
Always, no sometimes, cry "Alas", but so it has been through ages gone
We think we know some things they're deep but could be wrong, that is we just don't much let on.

We won't horse around in the next eon, Forbidden Forest
Look how bright Mars is! The Zodiac has quite a clout
Forbidden Forest Forever

Enter FLUFFY, CHORUS OF WEREWOLVES & CHORUS OF TROLLS

FLUFFY & DOUBLE CHORUS (to HARRY & RON)
You two come have down to our part of town, Forbidden Forest
Tyrannosaurus compared to us are Brussels Sprouts!
Forbidden Forest Forever!


The D.A.

A filk by Stella to the tune of Penny Lane

In the D.A., there is a table full of sneakoscopes
And there are many shelves of books lining the walls
In the room Dobby calls 'Come and Go' Harry stares at Cho

As the twenty-eight begin to fill the D.A. room
Marietta will soon stab them in the back Yet, disarming skills the students lack
Smith's wand flies away
Very strange

The D.A. is in my ears and in my eyes
Filled with students as I hear them cry… 'Expelliarmus'

By lesson three, Parvati mastered the reductor curse
Bringing some Dark Detectors out of the scene
Zacharias Smith is acting mean
But it goes unseen

The D.A. is in my ears and in my eyes
Fighting Umbridge who we all despise…behind her back

Harry Potter is proud of his new Defense class
In O.W.L.s they all are sure to get an 'A'
And though he wishes that he could stay
They leave anyway

They take a galleon that will tell them when the meetings are
The idea taken from the Dark Lord's men
Hermione used a protean charm on them
To make them the same
Very strange

The D.A. is in my ears and in my eyes
In the room that no one else can find we practice all we can
The D.A. is in my ears and in my eyes
Practicing away from prying eyes

The D.A…

Privet Drive

A filk by Gail to the tune of Penny Lane

On Privet Drive Mr.. Dursley prepares to go to work
He doesn't see the owl fly by his window
On the street odd folk in wizard robes
Stop and say, "Hello"

On the corner is a cat he's never seen before
He swears he see her with a map within her paws
And the weatherman says that there are shooting stars
Instead of rain---very strange

Privet Drive is in my ears and in my eyes
Disturbing Dursley's normal life
He scowls and meanwhile back

On Privet Drive Mr. Dursley is still quite upset
He'd heard a whisper mention the Potters by name
And there were owls flying around in the day
This grey Tuesday

Privet Drive is in my ears and in my eyes
Dursley assumes it''ll be alright
But meanwhile, later that night

On Privet Drive Dumbledore makes his way to Number Four
He meets 'Gonagall there waiting to talk to him
Then Hagrid comes flying in
On a motorbike---carrying the tyke

Dumbledore lays the child upon the doorstep of the Dursley house
While the wizard world celebrates the fall of Voldemort
They raise their goblets and purpose a toast
To the boy who survived---Harry's alive

Privet Drive is in my ears and in my eyes
Harry's found by Dursley's wife
She screams and meanwhile back

Privet Drive is in my ears and in my eyes
Privet Drive is in my ears and in my eyes

Privet Drive


Potter's Fame

A filk by Gryffleraverin to the tune of Penny Lane

Draco Malfoy sings maliciously (and yes, a bit jealously) about 'that scar-headed egomaniac' named Harry Potter. He breaks rules, lies - and isn't expelled! (Never mind that Malfoy does the same, of course.) Draco is in the Slytherin Common room, pouting.

MALFOY
Potter's fame; there is a first year buying photographs
And that scar head, he's had the pleasure to know
That all the first years here come and go will say 'My hero!'
In second year he came to school in a flying car
The stupid Gryffindors laughed while patting his back
And the teachers never take his map 'cause he has his fame
Very lame

Potter's fame, gets on my nerves, him I despise
Yet the teachers all believe his lies
I sit, wishing to do him in

Potter's fame; he went back in time with an hourglass
Set free a convict awaiting the kiss of doom
He doesn't keep his Firebolt well-groomed
Mine's a well-groomed broom

Potter's fame gets on my nerves, him I despise
Doing magic he tries to hide
In summer meanwhile back-

In the hospital in the middle of a corridor
A clucky nurse-her name is Poppy-gives him his tray
Though she knows he's in there every day
She doesn't say
Potter's fame, the teachers love all the Gryffindors
We see Headmaster giving all the points to him
They all ignore all his sin 'cause he has his fame
Very lame

Potter's fame, gets on my nerves, him I despise
Yet the teachers all believe his lies
I sit, wishing to do him in
Potter's fame, gets on my nerves, him I despise
Yet the teachers all believe his lies
Potter's fame


Harry, You're a Wizard

A filk by Stella to the tune of Baby, You're a Rich Man

HAGRID:
My name is Rubeus, I'm the gamekeeper at Hogwarts
I've come to tell you what you are
You're a wizard, Harry

HARRY:
None of that can be true at all
You can't really mean me

HAGRID:
Have you ever made anything happen
when you were sad?

VERNON:
He'll never be going there.

HARRY:
How could you two have known?

VERNON:
We won't pay to send him there.
My final answer's 'no'!

HAGRID:
Harry, you're a wizard
Harry, you're a wizard
Harry, you're a wizard, too.
Just like you're parent's were before they died.
I thought you knew.
They're so untrue.
Harry, you're a wizard
Harry, you're a wizard
Harry, you're a wizard, too.

Now that you know that you're one of the magical people,
You can come leave with me.
I will take you away.
You'll go to Diagon Alley.

HARRY:
I don't know what to say.

I'll soon be a wizard
I'll soon be a wizard
I'll soon be a wizard, too.
I won't have to stay here for one more day
Now I'll have friends.
A magic wand, too.

HAGRID:
(Harry) Harry, you're a wizard
Harry, you're a wizard
Harry, you're a wizard, too.

HARRY:
I'll soon be a wizard
I'll soon be a wizard
I'll soon be a wizard, too.

Harry, Yer A Wizard (PS/SS, Chap. 4)

A filk by Gail to the tune Baby, You're A Rich Man

HAGRID:
Harry Potter yeh ain't one of these horrible Muggles
They never told yeh who yeh are and 'bout yer family

HARRY:
My parents they died in a car, I don't know what you mean

HAGRID:
Harry Potter yeh ain't one of these horrible Muggles
Gulpin' gargoyles, yeh don't know? Yeh don't know 'bout our world?
Yeh never got Dumbledore's note? It's time that yeh've been told

Harry, yer a wizard
Harry, yer a wizard
Harry, yer a wizard too
Somehow yeh survived when yer parents were killed by You-Know-Who
And that's the truth

Harry, yer a wizard
Harry, yer a wizard
Harry, yer a wizard, too

Harry Potter yeh ain't one of these horrible Muggles

HARRY:
Hagrid, you must be mistaken, what you say cannot be

HAGRID:
Have yeh ever made things happen when yeh were scared or angry?

Harry, yer a wizard
Harry, yer a wizard
Harry, yer a wizard too
And a thumpin' good one yeh'll turn out to be, that's what I say
Once yeh've been trained

Harry, yer a wizard
Harry, yer a wizard
Harry, yer a wizard too

Repeat 'till fade

SPEW, SPEW, SPEW
SPEW, SPEW, SPEW
