THE SCENE: Harry has just found out he has to ask someone to the Yule Ball, being a champion and all. He's laying on his four-poster, thinking about his situation...
HARRY (spoken): The world today is absolutely cracked, with Voldemort ready to blow me up sky high, and now I've got this Yule Ball thing to worry about...it's depressing, it's senseless, but I must admit...
(Singing) I like Cho Chang, I like Cho Chang
I try to see her when I can
And she's always friendly when I wave with my hand
I like Cho Chang, I like Cho Chang
There's 900 million suitors chasing her every day
I hope she learns to like me, that's why I say.
I like Cho Chang, I like Cho Chang
Her ancestors came from overseas
She's cute, and cuddly... will she ever like me?
I think Cho Chang's cute. To me she never is rude.
Think of the many things she's done to impress:
She's Ravenclaw's Seeker, and looks good in a dress.
Harry breaks into an impromptu tap dance
I like Cho Chang, I like Cho Chang
I'll go and beg upon my knees
"To the Yule ball, will you go with me, please?"
What are Cho Chang's thoughts?
She's the Snitch I wish I'd caught
If anyone has anything to say about it,
She is HOT, there ain't no doubt about it.
I like Cho Chang, I like Cho Chang
She's smart cuz she's in Ravenclaw
Just looking at her ties my stomach all up in knots!
I like Cho Chang
I like Cho Chang
I like Cho Chang
If anyone can ask her out, I think that I can!
I like Cho Chang, I like Cho Chang
Her figure is guaranteed to please
It's 36-24-36, if you know what I mean!
I like Cho Chang, I like Cho Chang
Her smile makes me weak in the knees
She seems so very nice, I hope she isn't a tease
I like Cho Chang.
I like Cho Chang
I like Cho Chang......
A filk by Gail to the tune of She Said She Said by the Beatles
HARRY:
Cho said, "I would always come here with Ced."
What I heard I couldn't believe
'Cause this was the last thing I wanted to discuss
I thought, why'd she want to talk about Ced?
Something that always makes her grieve?
Then Cho suddenly acted so furious
Cho said, "I don't know why you asked me out!"
I thought, "What did I do wrong?
Few minutes ago everything was fine, everything was fine."
I told Hermione what happened and
She knew why Cho acted this way
Cho was trying to get me to become jealous
I said, "I don't know what this is about."
She said, "You acted all wrong.
'Cause you are a boy, you don't know her mind, you don't know her mind."
Ron said, "You should write a book about this.
Translating what boys and girls say."
And this whole thing has made me very depressed
Cho said (Cho said)
"I would always come here with Ced" ("I would always come here with
Ced)
Now she won't even talk to me (Now she won't even talk to me)
To the tune of When You're Good to Mama from Kander and Ebb's Chicago
THE SCENE: Ravenclaw Common Room. LUNA LOVEGOOD sings the praises of her father's periodical.
LUNA:
Ask any of the readers of Dad's gazette
They'll tell ya how they cherish each vignette
I love my Dad and all he writes, you see
Because The Quibbler has
A vast array of curiosities.....
Fudge is killin' Goblins
Bakin' them in pies
When you're Luna Lovegood
You see through his guise
When you see Tornados
Cheat to win the League
Whirl that wind to Luna
She loves that intrigue
It says that runes read upside-down
Will tell you what is what
So, read these runes with Luna and
Turn ears into kumquats
Don't you know how Boardman
Really loves to croon?
Sing a song for Luna
She'll sing Luna tunes
If you spy a Crumple
On a Horned Snorkack
Dump it all on Luna
She'll be on its track
When the old Slashkilter
Gets Umgubular
Just slash one with Luna
She'll slash one of yours!
Those folks who mock at Potter
Do not know our strategies
Our interview with Potter makes
Umbridge write more decrees
If you have a story
For which there's no proof
Tell it all to Luna
She won't be aloof
So let's avoid confusion
And adopt this simple rule:
Subscribe to The Quibbler
Keep Luna in school!
A filk by Indigo Ziona to the tune of Lola by the Kinks
RON: I met her on the train out from old King's Cross
Where I needed somewhere to sit and munch on my tuna
T-U-N-A Tuna
She was sitting on a seat with a puzzled frown
At the magazine she held upside down, her name was
Luna
L-U-N-A Luna, lu-lu-lu-lu Luna
Well, I'm not the world's most intelligent guy,
But I thought she was mad when I looked in her eyes
Oh that Luna, lu-lu-lu-lu Luna
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why her wand's on her ear and not in her hand
Oh that Luna, lu-lu-lu-lu Luna, lu-lu-lu-lu Luna.
Well, I said hello and her eyes were bright
Though popping out like in fright
I made a joke, she laughed outrageously
She said, "Ronny-boy, that's so funny…"
Well I'm not the world's most belligerent guy
But when I looked in her eyes
Well I almost swiped at that Luna
Lu-lu-lu-lu Luna, lu-lu-lu-lu Luna.
Luna, lu-lu-lu-lu Luna, lu-lu-lu-lu Luna.
I looked her way. Her hat had corks.
I felt like a dork. I turned to Hermione
I looked at her, and she at me.
HERMIONE: Well she looks mad, I do have to say
And The Quibbler's rubbish they all do say, don't they
Luna.
Lu-lu-lu-lu Luna
RON: I'll be Head Boy and she'll be Head Girl
It's sorted, shaped-up, normal world
Except for Luna, lu-lu-lu-lu Luna.
Well I left home just an hour before
And I never ever met the woman before
Luna smiled, looking pleased and glad
I thought, "Ronny-boy, she'll make your life mad."
Well I'm not the world's most brilliant brain
But I know what I am and I bet that I'm sane
Not like Luna, lu-lu-lu-lu Luna, lu-lu-lu-lu Luna.
A filk by Eric Oppen to the tune of Sunrise, Sunset from Fiddler on the Roof
As I said, this is one thing I do not want to have happen in Book Seven, but filk will out nonetheless.
The Ravenclaws are gathered together in mourning, around the body of one of their own: Luna Lovegood, laid out on a bier, surrounded by offerings: the Ravenclaws' most cherished books. On Luna's chest there is an Order of Merlin, First Class.
RAVENCLAW GIRLS:
She was our housemate, and we teased her
We took her books and hid her toys
Nothing we ever did could ever
Shake her poise
RAVENCLAW BOYS:
Quidditch was one thing she would not try,
Though she cheered on our house to win,
Who would have thought that she would die
A he-ro-ine?
ALL RAVENCLAWS:
Luna Lovegood, Luna Lovegood,
Girl of Ravenclaw,
Martyr we'd never have expected,
Honored for fighting for the law!
FLITWICK:
In class she never acted normal,
She had those great big staring eyes,
Every time she would raise her wand
She would surprise
SU LI:
She flew off raiding down to London,
Followed where Harry Potter led,
Although that time she was not undone,
She's now dead.
ALL RAVENCLAWS:
Luna Lovegood, Luna Lovegood,
How well she was named!
Although her body lies here bleeding
We know her spirit is untamed!
CHO CHANG:
She did not hang back in the last fight,
She waded in and did her best
May flights of angels sing her
To her rest
RAVENCLAW BOYS:
She should go straight up to Valhalla
Riding behind a Valkyrie
If we are worthy we may join her
Wait and see!
ALL RAVENCLAWS:
Luna Lovegood, Luna Lovegood
We grieve that you're lost
Although in spirit you are with us
Vic'try was hardly worth this cost!
Luna Lovegood, Luna Lovegood
Back in mother's arms
Safe once more in your mother's embrace,
Free from all fear of worldly harms!
A filk by Eric Oppen to the tune of Least of My Kind by Catherine Faber
I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that Luna looks like she may have a touch of the "Innsmouth look"...
Hogwarts is burning bright, fires blazing in the night,
Caused by the Dark Lord Voldemort,
To Hogwarts he has come, with his Death Eater scum
He seems to think he has won the war.
CHORUS:
All of them now are dead, Weasley with hair of red,
Granger and Potter and all that crew,
You think you've got me here? Note that I show no fear!
I will now show you what I can do!
To Hogwarts evil came, bringing its death and flame,
Just to make sure that Potter died,
Harry would never run, even though you had won,
And facing you was sure suicide!
With Potter stood his friends, all soon to meet their ends,
They faced you bravely and they fell,
You killed the Boy-Who-Lived, you now I can't forgive,
I'll get revenge and send you to Hell!
Standing at waterside, wading out in the tide,
Throwing lead tablets into the sea,
Rising up from the foam, come from my mother's home
My mother's kin have come to save me!
Now that the stars are right, they're rising up in might,
Come from the North, West, East and South,
Look what you made me do, Dagon has come for you!
Could you not see that I'm from Innsmouth?
A filk by Prankaholic to the tune of My Name Is Luka by Suzanne Vega
My name is Luna
And belong to Ravenclaw
I don't have many friends
Guess that I just have many flaws
But I don't care what other's think
When I wear my red radish earrings
Or read The Quibbler upside down
Or read The Quibbler upside down
Or read The Quibbler upside down
I guess it's 'cause I'm dreamy
Other's like to steal my stuff
Lucky I have one friend, Ginny
Hangs with me oddly enough
Apparently it makes me a dork
When 'round my neck I hang bottle corks
But at least I am not alone
But at least I am not alone
But at least I am not alone
Yes I think I'm OK
I thought of my mom again
It's been many years since she passed away
But I know for sure I'll see her someday
Once she failed an experiment
And then got killed in that accident
But I know just where she is
But I know just where she is
But I know just where she is
My name is Luna
And belong to Ravenclaw
I don't have many friends
Guess that I just have many flaws
But I don't care what other's think
When I wear my red radish earrings
Or read The Quibbler upside down
Or read The Quibbler upside down
Or read The Quibbler upside down
Apparently it makes me a dork
When 'round my neck I hang bottle corks
But at least I am not alone
But at least I am not alone
But at least I am not alone
