A/N: Sorry about the wait. I've been busy. But here you go.
Chapter 9: Detention
Harry's detention was scheduled for Monday. Slowly he trudged down to Filch's office.
"Harry, you'll be organising my files today. Get to work now!" Harry went over to the Cabinet. Every single detention for the past forty years. Well, at least he'd have a chance to learn a lot about his father. "This wasn't going to be that bad of a detention," Harry thought to himself. That was until Filch broke out into song.
"Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the squib
The squib who has ev'rything?
Look at this office
Prankster's untold
How many wonders can one filing cabinet hold?
Lookin' around here you'd think
(Sure) she's got everything
I've got canary cremes and stink-pellets aplenty
I've got explosives and whatzits galore
(You want dungbombs?
I got twenty)
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more
I wanna be where the wizards are
I wanna see
Wanna see 'em cursin'
Wavin' around on those
(Whad'ya call 'em?) oh - wands
Cleaning with mops you don't get too far
Wands are required for charmin', cursin'
Flyin' along on a
(What's that word again?) broom
Oh, where they charm
Oh, where they curse
Oh, where they transfigure all day long
Wavin' free
Wish I could be
Part of that world
What would I give
If I could live
Outta these dungeon?
What would I pay
To spend a day
With magic powers?
Betcha with wands
They understand
Bet they don't scrub the halls for hours
Bright young caretakers
Sick o' scrubbin'
Ready to wave
And ready to know what the wizards know
Ask 'em my questions
And get some answers
What's a "Crucio!" and why does it
(What's the word?) hurt?
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love
Love to have the wand for power?
Out of this dungeon
Wish I could be
Part of that world"
"Go on Harry," Filch sighed, "your detention is over." Harry smiled. He didn't get to read up on his father, but by listening to that song, he got it shortened. Of course now he felt a little sorry for him.
A/N: Sorry, still short. Hope you liked!
