I meant to finish off HFHE, but I wanted to do something that was a little nicer to Sirius first...
To the tune of Ra Ra Rasputin. Ask your parents if you don't recognise it, with any luck they'll have the music, too. It's a great song. You might find it difficult attempting to scan the chorus - the original was crotchet crotchet quaver quaver crotchet... this is quaver quaver crotchet quaver quaver crotchet. If that makes any sense to you :)
There lived a cheeky boy in Hogwarts long ago
He would hang around with Moony, Prongs and co.
Most people had such caution whenever he was near
But with his evil mother he had to live in fear
She's neurotic, what a pureblood preacher
Listen to her portrait moan
It's no wonder he fled from her and Kreacher
Went out on his own
Master of the prank attack
There was a dog that really was cool
Sirius 'Padfoot' Black
No style or finesse you lack
He was the greatest prankster in school He stayed friends with James even after school was done
He even became Godfather to his son
As a Secret Keeper he pulled a switcheroo
But his smart trick didn't hinder You-Know-Who
What a shame that James had trusted Peter
Who laid the Dark Lord's welcome mat
He believed this wannabe Death Eater
Forgot he was a rat Sirius 'Padfoot' Black
Master of the prank attack
Was sadly locked up in Azkaban
Sirius 'Padfoot' Black
Judge, jury and trial you lack
No-one knows you're an innocent man…
(Spoken:)
But after being imprisoned on the charge of mass murder, this smart Animagus hoodwinked the Azkaban guards and is now roaming free… somewhere… Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey "Padfoot's in danger!" They knew from Harry's dream
But the Dark Lord's eye, it held a wicked gleam
Harry, you know, was not a great Occlumens
And Padfoot's pain had robbed him of his sense
Friends came with him on a rescue mission
It's a trap, they're not to blame
In the noble Gryffindor tradition
Padfoot did the same Sirius 'Padfoot' Black
Please give that House Elf the sack
Your love for Harry will always prevail
Sirius 'Padfoot' Black
Victim of Lestrange attack
Her curse has thrown you through the veil Sirius 'Padfoot' Black
Are you ever coming back?
We can't believe that you've really gone
Sirius 'Padfoot' Black
Master of the prank attack
We hope your spirit ever lives on… (Spoken:) Oh, those Marauders...
By the way, if anyone wants to write 'Vol Vol Voldemort', please do and let me read it!
