Dorea Potter winced as her eardrums were nearly ruptured by a loud shriek while she ate her dinner.
"Potter, Weasley, and Weasley! Straight to the Headmaster's Office, the lot of you!" McGonagall shrilled. She had taken the pranks, given detentions, and written home, but this was the last straw—festooning her classroom with CATNIP! It had nearly driven her crazy by the time Filch had removed it all (although she had him deliver it all to her private rooms—it was perfectly good catnip, after all.)

If ever, oh ever a wiz there was, The Wizard of Oz is one because
Because, because, because, because, because
Because of the wonderful things he does
We're off to see the wizard, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!"
