Chapter 8: Mungojerrie & Rumpleteazer

As the heroes hid themselves, 2 cats, Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer, were sneaking into the junkyard, carrying 2 large sacks, giggling and whispering. "Who are these 2?" Cho whispered. "I think they're the ones behind that robbery." Hermione whispered. "Makes sense. They got those big bags." Kaz whispered. "Shh! I think they're about to sing." Ron whispered. "He's right. Let's wait and listen." Ginny whispered. As Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer dropped their bags, they began to sing.

[Mungojerrie & Rumpleteazer]

Mungojerrie: Mungojerrie

Rumpleteazer: And Rumpleteazer

Both: We're a notorious couple of cats

Rumpleteazer: As knockabout clowns, quick-change comedians, tightrope walkers and acrobats

Mungojerrie: We have an extensive reputation. We make our home in Victoria Grove

This is merely our center of operation

Both: For we are incurably given to rove

(AN: I know that in this point in the movie, half of the song was cut. But I'm gonna add the whole song.)

Mungojerrie: If the area window is found ajar

Rumpleteazer: And the basement looks like a field of war

If a tile or two comes loose on the roof,

Which presently fails to be waterproof,

Mungojerrie: If the drawers are pulled out from the bedroom chest,

And you can't find one of your winter vests,

Or after supper, one of the girls

Suddenly misses her Woolworth pearls

Both: Then the family will say 'It's that horrible cat!'

Mungojerrie: Was it Mungojerrie?

Rumpleteazer: Or Rumpleteazer?

Both: And most of the time, they leave it at that

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer have a highly unusual gift of the gab

Mungojerrie: We are highly efficient cat-burglars as well

Rumpleteazer: And remarkably smart at a smash-and-grab

Mungojerrie: We make our home in Victoria Grove. We have no regular occupation

We are plausible fellows, who like engage

Both: A friendly policeman in conversation

When the family's assembled for Sunday dinner

Rumpleteazer: Their minds made up that they won't get thinner

Mungojerrie: On Argentine joint

Rumpleteazer: Potatoes and greens

Then the cook would appear from behind the scenes

Mungojerrie: And say in a voice that was broken with sorrow

'I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow!

The joint has gone from the oven like that!'

Both: Then the family will say 'It's that horrible cat!'

Mungojerrie: Was it Mungojerrie?

Rumpleteazer: Or Rumpleteazer?

Both: And most of the time, they leave it at that

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer have a wonderful way of working together

And some of the time, you would say it was luck

And some of the time, you would say it was weather

We go through the house like a hurricane

Mungojerrie: And no sober person

Both: Could take his oath

Mungojerrie: Was it Mungojerrie?

Rumpleteazer: Or Rumpleteazer?

Both: Or could you have sworn that it might have been both?

And when you hear a dining-room smash

Or up from the pantry, there comes a loud crash

Or down from the library, came a loud ping

From a vase which was commonly said to be Ming

Then the family will say 'Now which was which cat?'

Mungojerrie: It was Mungojerrie

Rumpleteazer: AND Rumpleteazer

Both: And there's nothing at all to be done about that

"Surround them!" Harry exclaimed. The heroes and cats all came out of hiding and surrounded Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. Munkustrap and Alonzo had hold of the bags they had. Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer made their way up to the trunk.

All: And there's nothing at all to be done about that

Munkustrap and Alonzo tossed the bags away, leaving poor Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer distraught. "You 2 sang a pretty good song, but should know better than to steal things." Najarin said as he floated up to them. "We know. But it was just a bit of fun." Rumpleteazer assured. "No, the old geezer's right. We shouldn't be stealing anymore, Teazer." Mungojerrie said. "Aye, you're probably right, Jerrie. As usual." Rumpleteazer said.
