A/n My kids are celebrating the late great Dr Seuss this week. So I decided to join them in honoring him as well as JK Rowling and write this short little tale. It's kinda silly and its written in Seuss's style so it rhymes. If that's not your thing then feel free to skip this one. If you want to have a laugh, then enjoy. And please tell me what you think.
Lucius Malfoy woke up one morning
And it happened without warning
It was bad couldn't be worse
He was hit with a dreadful curse
He turned to his wife almost in fear
And said "Narcissa I'm feeling queer"
"What do you mean?" She asked confused.
He shrugged and appeared slightly amused
"I mean I have the queerest feeling,
I believe I can walk across the ceiling."
"Well of course you can, you're a wizard dear,
You can walk anywhere, that isn't queer."
"No,"he said "I mean without spell or wand
I feel my powers have gone beyond.
Gestures or an incantation
But merely just with my inclination
With that he strode across the room
The man who cursed him sensed his doom
He shrank away but to his delight
Lucius passed with nary a blight
He stopped at the wall and looked around
Everyone looked at him like he'd come unwound
He starts his climb up the wall
Narcissa cried "Careful love! You're going to fall!"
On up he went and on until
He reached the ceiling and then stood still
He looked rather silly, like a white haired bat.
But no one had the guts to tell him that.
"I can do anything!" He cried with glee.
"No one is a better wizard wall walker than me!"
Then he cantered around over head
"This is amazing!" he looked down and said
The other death eaters thought it looked like fun
And Lucius was the dark lord's number one
If he could do it then so could they
And a very weird morning became a very weird day.
Soon some ten odd people stood
In places none had thought they could
Back and forth they all walked on high
Narcissa looked like she was about to cry
She had to worry as things were amiss
And she said "the dark lord's not going to like this"
Just then he appeared and looked up with a glare
Then hissed "What the devil are you doing up there?"
"Get down here at once!" They heard him call
"Or I'm going to bloody well kill you all!"
"Please my lord," Narcissa begged of him
"It isn't their fault please don't hurt them!"
"Please, it was a mistake, a curse"
Please remove it before things get worse!"
"My sweet, most curses no matter what starts 'em
Can be removed thus... Finite Incantatum!"
They came down with a thump all on their heads
Tumbling headlong onto feather beds
Narcissa had conjured them not wishing them harm
And with the spell broken they stood up in alarm
They trembled and shook sweat beaded their brows
For they knew their master's anger had been aroused
"Now, if playtime is over get back to work!
Before I lose it and go completely berserk!"
Then he turned and flounced away
Leaving them to ponder this very strange day
Embarrassed for he had acted depraved
And was quite out of sorts at how he'd behaved
He looked at his comrades then said with a sneer
"Not a word to anyone about what happened here!"
The death eaters scattered for fear of his wrath
And did not want to stay for the aftermath
He looked at his wife and she reached out her hand
Knowing this day had not gone as planned
"Come with me Lucius" she said shaking her head.
"Yes love," he replied. "I'm going back to bed"
