Under a Spell (PS/SS, Chap. 4)

To the tune of Under Your Spell

THE SCENE: Harry and Hagrid are passing through the brick wall from the Leaky Cauldron into Diagon Alley. Harry thinks to himself about the amazing turn his life has taken in just a few hours.

HARRY:
Always put in the shadows
Subject to pain and disgrace
At least the Dursleys said so
I wasn't more than a waste
Now what's with this sight?
Envelopes taking flight

I'm under a spell
How else could it be
That all this could happen to me?
It's magic I hear tell
Man built like a tree
Brought me a cake eagerly

Hagrid says I'm very gifted
That I'm something quite rare
My wishes all seem granted
Power has always been there
Everything I've known
Challenged by what's been shown

I'm under a spell
What else could I do?
Got a letter here that proves
Addressed from a green inkwell
Though I never knew
Everything I dreamed was true

Can hardly believe!

At Hogwarts I'll arrive
Finally be alive!

I'm under a spell
Diagon Alley
Awed by everything I see
Taking in every detail
Now in wizardry
My future's open it seems

Finally believe!

Finally believe
Finally believe
Finally believe...


Have Some Peace (PS/SS, Chap. 12)

To the tune of Rest In Peace

The late LILY & JAMES POTTER sing against the illusion of the mirror.

LILY AND JAMES:
We died
So many years ago
You just want to feel
Like it isn't so
And why you come sit with us
We think you finally know
mmm-mmm

You're scared
And don't know how to feel
You've never been around true love
Not sure how you should deal
Harry, sitting with the dead
It doesn't make it real

It's great
And we wish that we may
'Cause loving from you touches us
More than we can say
But son we're only dead for you
From Erised stay away
And try to have some peace

Try to have some peace
Try to get some sleep
Try to find live love and cherish it
And in your life to keep
Yes our bodies were laid out
So You Know Who's attack would cease
So try to have some peace

You know,
Did it with love to save
You just have to remember
That for you our lives gave
In three years,
Be seeing you
At the Hangleton graves
And try to have some peace

We know you must go
But we'll follow you, in your heart possessed
And its better there beneath your breast
The thought hurts us more than you'll ever guess
You and this mirror with which you're so impressed
As long as you're here we can not rest
So leave it be and...

Try to have some peace
Try to get some sleep
Try to find live love and cherish it
And in your life to keep
Yes our bodies were laid out
So You Know Who's attack would cease
Try to have some peace
Why won't you
Try to have some peace?


Filch's Lament (CoS, Chap. 8)

To the tune of Dawn's Lament.

THE SCENE: The Death Day Party. We slowly close up on a sniffling figure on its hands and knees. A flu stricken FILCH grumbles while cleaning up frog brains.

FILCH:
Those little brats don't even notice...
Those little brats don't even care.


Basilisk Dance/Grr Argh (CoS, Chap. 17)

To the tune of Broom Dance/Grr Argh

THE SCENE: The Chamber of Secrets. The Basilisk having just been called by Tom Riddle, tap dances... As well as a basilisk can tap dance. It then turns towards Harry...

BASILISK:
Grr! Argh!


Death's a Show (PoA, Chap. 19)

To the tune of Life's a Show

THE SCENE: SIRIUS and LUPIN explain about Scabbers, the rat formerly known as Peter.

SIRIUS:
Death's a show
He left behind some parts
Went over to Dark Arts
Ripped out all our hearts
Prove I'm right!
It all went very wrong
Told on Lily and Prongs
And then I came along

Gone my life
And hope.
Get today
My gift.
Wishes can
Come true.
This'll be
Reward.
So much
I've paid.

Change Keeper my design
I blame myself for their demise
This is for Prongs
This is for Prongs

Have no mercy. Yeah I'm fresh out

Trio sings the 'Aahs'

Don't have mercy. Yeah I'm fresh out

SIRIUS gets ready to exterminate Scabbers/Peter, but LUPIN holds his wrist and continues explaining to the Trio

LUPIN:
One year long
Our secrets were dispersed
Suspicion made it worse
By division we were cursed

Close best friends
Can't trust them anymore
Peter we all ignored
One should be watching for

So this rat
Defend.
Family
And friends,
Betrayed all.
Truth bend.
Paper shows.
Frame ends.
All this
Depends…

On if you let us show
Then we'll know all we need to know
And we will see
On count of three

PETER is changed back into a man and tries begging

PETER:
Threatened with pain,
Had fear and doubt
So I sold them out.
Would've killed me

What was to gain?
Everywhere
He was everywhere. Killed me.
I'm sure he would've killed me

Seeing no chance with SIRIUS and LUPIN, he turns to the Trio

So please have mercy, don't rub me out!
Please!
Give me mercy!

SIRIUS and LUPIN raise their wands to execute PETER. HARRY steps in the way...

HARRY:
It is not good.
Do not do this.
Won't give you bliss.
Its killing.
Though think it should
This pain that you feel
Never will heal
By killing.
You have to stop the killing
Parents wouldn't want you killing


We'll Never Tell (GoF, Chap. 3)

To the tune of I'll Never Tell

PETUNIA:
This is the man with looks like a mammal
And he's all mine
Our claim to fame is the plain and the normal
And that's just fine
He's got an average biz
We have one perfect, lovely kid
The only trouble is...
I'll never tell

VERNON:
She is the one, my ordinary hon
So conventional
Wonderful tyke, Dudley's bright
Always right
Routine
Quiet Routine
And I love them both so
Our lawn always perfectly mowed
There's just one thing that--
No.
I'll never tell

BOTH:
'Cause there's nothing to tell

PETUNIA:
He's weird
VERNON:
He's freaky
PETUNIA:
He's also kinda sneaky
VERNON:
He knows these bloody Weasleys
That I can't describe

PETUNIA:
His hair, its messy
VERNON:
He doesn't know reality
PETUNIA:
His parents got blown up
By some Lord Thingy

BOTH:
At times he's kind of scary

VERNON:
Just glad summer's temporary

PETUNIA:
Then things get back to ordinary

VERNON:
Has a common name like Harry

BOTH:
But we seem very well
'Cause, God knows,
We'll never tell

PETUNIA:
When things get rough he
He just hides behind his stuffy
That makes Vernon 'bit huffy
Cause he uses that - you know

VERNON:
He's odd
He's creepy
It all goes really deeply
His mother-

PETUNIA:
Don't mention Lily!

VERNON:
Sorry my dear, its so
She--

PETUNIA:
Look at him!
He's actin' crazy!

Harry just walks by and the Dursleys get hysterical

BOTH:
You know
VERNON:
It's quite appalling
PETUNIA:
His friends tried calling
VERNON:
He is the worst kind of weirdo
A godfather that's a wacko
He ruins the joy of
Quiet routine

PETUNIA:
He's strange
VERNON:
Very strange
PETUNIA:
He's got this owl with mange
VERNON:
That's why I'll never
Let the thing out of that cage
PETUNIA:
I hate this thing
Its dirty and obscene
I know there'll come the day
I'll throw the whole lot out

BOTH:
We tried
To make him decent
They died
We took him into our home
VERNON:
Did all that we could to fix him
PETUNIA:
Didn't work, try to keep him hidden
VERNON:
And now he's going to that school
That's run by that senile old fool
PETUNIA:
When the worlds become all smudgy
What will happen to our Duddy?
VERNON:
Is he quirky?
PETUNIA:
Is he schemin'?
VERNON:
Is he possibly a demon?
BOTH:
He could really make our lives
In Little Whinging a hell
So, thank God,
We'll never tell
We swear
That we'll never tell

VERNON:
My lips
Are sealed
PETUNIA:
I take the Fifth
VERNON:
Nothing to see, move it along
BOTH:
We'll never
Tell


That You'll Feel (GoF, Chap. 33)

To the tune of What You Feel

THE SCENE: Little Hangleton Graveyard. VOLDEMORT, having just become corporeal, walks over to the bound HARRY.

VOLDEMORT:
Why'd you turn away?
Don't you like my... bod'?

Turns with a flourish

"Ah!"

Unsure? Need a replay?
Well, you see your blood I robbed
Did ever your imagination
Think our blood would join in an incantation?
So what do you say-
Why don't we chat a while?

Noticing Harry's pain he smiles and continues

Tell me does it sting?
Want to scream and shout?
The point of this thing
In the open get you out
No safety here, no help a'coming
Your mother's protective blood, in me is running
Albus is absent, that's what its all about

'Cause there's pain that you'll feel, boy
Crucio's just what you'll feel, boy
All these memories, many years have gone
Since my dad and grands were killed, I was the one
Now got dad's bone: unknown, dead offering
Plus old Wormtail's hand he's free in giving
That's the penalty when you join my marked throng

I brought you down into this town
Before we end this scene,
Everyone'll know that I have killed my foe
Along with doubts that have been!

'Cause there's pain that you'll feel, boy!

HARRY:
No! You see, my head screams
From your amount of evil

VOLDEMORT:
There's more believe boy!

HARRY:
Enemy? Blood you need?
So now Pete is your lackey?

VOLDEMORT:
I will bring all wizards to ruin
Just have to have a Death Eater meetin'

HARRY:
You neglect and forget
The great Dumbledore

VOLDEMORT:
Send back your remains, you and the spare
Then no one will oppose me! They won't dare!

HARRY:
When I'm missed you'll get kissed
By a smelly dementor

Voldemort stops and gets close to Harry and says softly...

VOLDEMORT:
Now you're touchable..

He runs a finger down the side of HARRY'S face. He screams in pain

That's what its all about...


Going Through the Motions (OOP, Chap. 1)

To the tune of Going through the Motions

THE SCENE: HARRY sulkily walks around the neighborhood.

HARRY:
Every single day the same arrangement
Want to go and fight the fight
But no, going through this dumb concealment
Nothing there was real?
Things should happen right?
I've been keeping low watching news shows
Looking out for my foe
But I'm just
Going through the motions
Rubbing at my scar
Was that just a backfire from a car?

Always say I'm brave, 'The Boy Who Lived'
Now won't tell me anything
'Harry, don't act rashly.' Like he can talk
He's just patronizing

Dementors come out of nowhere

DEMENTORS:
Time for some fearing

HARRY:
Dementor feeling!

DEMENTORS:
For going through hell you're doing well
But really we can tell
That you're just
Going through the motions
We'll take you on right now
Not even half the wizard you-

HARRY does the Patronus Charm

DEMENTORS:
Ow...

HARRY:
The end of summer coming never?
Living with this fear forever?

MRS. FIGG runs up

MRS. FIGG:
Keep your wand up, boy!

HARRY:
Hey what the...!?

Is this really me?
Going through the motions
Anger I can't hide
Can't they even see
That they're not helping me?
Cannot this secrecy
Abide!

I will walk
Through the door
And let it...

And it's all uphill
Didn't want to see it,
Be killed or must kill
And I know what it is you must fulfill
But I...

I wish I could say
The right words
And clear away your fate
Wish I could play the seer
And give you a clean slate
Wish things could stay...
But now its just too late
Was standing in the way

The cries around me,
Didn't hear at all
'Cause I had you here
And I dropped the ball
Should have told when asked
I because of love did stall
But I ...

I wish this could
Lay at my feet
And let you live at last
Wish I could
Pay out your debts
But what must pass, must pass
Wish things could stay -
Your childhood, ending fast
I was standing in the way

Was just standing
In the way
