Author's Note: This song didn't fit with the last Disney song Harry Potter musical, but it's still really funny, so I decided to post it as its own story. It takes place during the first chapter of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (SO WARNING: BIG DH SPOILER ALERT!!!) when Voldemort is planning to take over the Ministry of Magic. The song parodied is "Be Prepared" from The Lion King. I do not own this song or Harry Potter, and the song was used for parody purposes only.

Death Eaters… Be Prepared!
"Yeah, what am we supposed to do?" A Death Eater sitting further down the table asked. "Kill Scrimgeor?"
Voldemort smiled evilly. "Precisely," he replied. The Death Eaters looked at him quizzically, and he broke into song:
"He must be surrounded by our kind,
Before I carry out my design.
One failed attempt, I'll have your hide!
The Ministry will soon be mine.
It's clear from your skeptic expressions,
You're wondering 'bout this whole affair.
But we're talking kings and successions!
No wizard can be caught unawares!
So prepare for the chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news.
A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer."
"And where do we feature?" Bellatrix asked.
"Just listen to teacher," Voldemort assured and continued,
"I know it sounds sordid,
But you'll be rewarded,
When at last I am given my dues!
And injustice deliciously squared!
Be prepared!"
"Yeah, be prepared!" Wormtail said. "Yeah, we'll be prepared! For what?"
"For the death of the Minister!" Voldemort cried.
"Why? Is he sick?" Wormtail asked again.
"No, fool," Voldemort said impatiently, "we're going to kill him… and Harry too!"
"Great idea!" Wormtail said, throwing up his arms. "Who needs a Minister?"
"No Minister, no Minister, nah nah nah nah nah nah!" several of the Death Eaters chanted.
"Idiots!" Voldemort bellowed. "There will be a Minister!"
"But you just said-" Wormtail stammered.
"I will be Minister!" Voldemort cried. "Stick with me, and you'll never go to Azkaban again!"
"Yeah!" The Death Eaters cheered. "All right! Long live the Minister!" They began to sing,
"It's great that we'll soon be connected
With a ruler as great as our Lord!"
Voldemort smiled evilly and sang,
"Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected,
To take certain duties on board.
The Mudbloods are all going to die.
We can do Dark Arts as we please.
Life will be good when I rule on high.
I'll be invincible, you see?
So prepare for the coup of the century!
Be prepared for the murkiest scam!
Meticulous planning."
"We'll be free!" the Death Eaters cried.
"Tenacity spanning," Voldemort sang.
"The Dark Arts!" the Death Eaters cheered.
"Decades of denial," Voldemort sang.
"No Mudbloods!" the Death Eaters cheered again.
"Is simply why I'll-" Voldemort sang.
"No Muggles!" the Death Eaters shouted.
Voldemort continued to sing,
"Rule undisputed
Respected, saluted,
And seen for the wonder I am.
Yes my wand and ambitions are bared.
Be prepared!"
The Death Eaters joined him in singing,
"Yes our wands and ambitions are bared.
Be prepared!"
