Song of Peeves
(Derived from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets)

AN: I took the liberty of finishing the song Peeves started singing in /Chamber of Secrets/ (p. 203). I figured it needed more verses if he was going to add "a dance routine to match."

*********************

Oh, Potter, you rotter, oh, what have you done?
You're killing off students, you think it's good fun;
How bitter to fritter your time on such crime,
To add to the number struck down in their prime!

Oh, Potter, you rotter, oh, where is your shame?
What terrible fame is the aim of your game?
Teeth chatter, lives shatter, blood spatters the wall,
And many more victims are gone past recall.

Oh, Potter, you rotter, oh, who will be next
To be vexed and perplexed and then fatally hexed,
As hotter for slaughter your appetite grows,
Acquiring a taste for the people you froze?

Oh, Potter, you rotter, oh, when will you learn?
By some twist of fate it may soon be your turn
To stutter and mutter, and tremble and stare—
To know what it's like to meet Slytherin's heir!

Oh, Potter, you rotter, oh, how will it end?
Can no one forgive you? Why, that would depend:
You'd better get wetter with tears of remorse
If you don't want the school to remove you by force!
