The Night of Betrayal
A song filk to "Belle" from
Norte-Dame de Paris
By: TheMischiefMakers
A/N: Well, here's our first… what's that called Dudley when you write a parody to a song…a Filk? Yes, what a strange name. Anyway, here it is. We've decided to stray from humor to something serious (not Sirius, though he is in it) Well, here goes…
Peter Pettigrew:
Betrayal…
Is the only word that suits what I have done.
The Dark Lord Voldemort came and to his darkness I fell.
He asked me questions that betrayed the ones I in friendship once held.
His darkness came and cast upon me an evil spell
That led me to betraying my friends forever to
me true.
But I ask you what else was I supposed to do?
For…
I am not brave and strong, as the others
ever were.
Voldemort asked, forced me to tell and I at last was
turned!
You don't know,
can't now understand how it was then
Or why I saved my life by betraying forever
my friends.
Remus Lupin:
The moon…
I was under its curse that night
of Hell.
And I knew nothing of how the Potters
fell.
After that night I was as I had always been,
Alone, without my friends I'm just a hallow shell!
Oh, James, Lily and Peter oh, how you fell!
And Sirius, the traitor, bound for an Azkaban cell!
Oh…
What will become of me and all that I have known?
And will I ever regain friendships lost again?
Moony, Wormtail,
Padfoot and Prongs
are now no more.
Our unfaltering friendship broken by
The Betrayal.
Sirius Black:
Innocent…
I am innocent of the crimes that on that night fell!
How can you believe I was the traitor lying within
our ranks?
When I'm the one who's lost all I once held dear.
How can I prove my innocence without the one who holds
the spell?
I swear to you I was not the Potter's Secret Keeper,
Believe!
I'm innocent, I'll forever swear this to you!
Who…
Lays now in Azkaban, a prisoner in darkness fell.
As punishment for my guilt though it is false.
I must prove to all my innocence
somehow.
I'll escape here seeking the truth of the night of
Betrayals.
Peter: Remus: Sirius:

A/N II: Whew, that was really hard for us. Just glad it's over. This idea was hatched on a long four hour drive back home a few nights ago. It's so much easier to do this sort of thing when you have so much time on your hands and you're driving. Hope you liked it…or not, whatever. By the way these characters belong to Rowling and the musical Notre-Dame de Paris belongs to Luc Plamondon and Richard Cocciante.
