HP Filks; where good songs go HP!

I thought this would be a fun thread to share any HP filks we've written. I'll admit I prefer writing songfics to filks, but I just completed my first one. It's set to "Backwoods Barbie" from 9 to 5: The Musical. Let me know what you guys think.

Fleur Is a Beauxbatons Barbie
I grew up hot and sexy, just a quarter-veela girl
I knew I was more pretty than anything in this world
Like a Barbie or a model in Playwitch magazine
The others were inferior, but I was never mean

I’ve always been admired because of how I look
You can judge my by the cover ‘cause I’m a real good book
So read into it what you will, but see me as I am
The way I look is just everyone’s idea of glam

I’m just a Beauxbatons Barbie, perfect makeup, perfect hair
Don’t be fooled by thinkin’ that the goods are not all there
Though I have false eyelashes, you should not believe
That I’m as helpless as I look ‘cause I can still compete

I’m just a Beauxbatons Barbie in a push-up bra and heels
They might look artificial, but my breasts are real
Yes, I can see you’ve fallen for me from the first glance
But even Beauxbatons Barbies will give you guys a chance

I’m all dolled up and waitin’ for one of you to prove his worth
Pursuing Beauxbatons Barbies, you can get your feelings hurt.

A typo?! In MY filk?!?! :O *faints from shock*

Well, since you guys made the mistake of encouraging this, I have a new one! It's set to "Diva's Lament" from Spamalot.

Tonks's Part
What ever happened to Tonks’s part?
It was exciting at the start
Now we’re halfway through Book 6
And yet to see Metamorphmagus tricks

She has been moping for far too long
Tonks without pink hair is just wrong
This is one unhappy Auror
There’s no cool scene for her
No place to fight with all her heart
What ever happened to her part?

She has such a cool career
Always fighting without fear
Up to here, with frustration at her tears
She asked Remus on a date
But he doesn’t reciprocate
She’s getting sadder as the climax nears

What ever happened to pink hair
Without it, she shouldn’t be there
Guarding a bunch of British brats
Prancing ‘round in pointy hats

She should really go to the pub
Drown her sorrow at Remus’s snub
Just ‘cause a guy said “no”
Tonks is now filled with woe
Tonks no longer plays a role in the plot

What ever happened to her
I’ll call Jo Rowling, Dammit!
What ever happened to her
Not Lupin’s, not Moody’s, but Tonks’s part!

Post it at UR, we've had just about no updates from 'regular' authors besides Grimm_Sister's 'HUFFLEPUFF' (which is great, by the way, read it soon!). Does PFF allow Filks?

I found a typo when you said 'Bauxbatons' instead of 'Beauxbatons', the type is the next-to-last 'Beauxbatons.'

This one was pretty good--I found myself surprised at the [true] portrayal at Tonks, though :D

Does UR have a filk section? If so, I've yet to see it! I'd quite like to check it out. Besides, I'm hardly a 'regular' just yet - just a guy who haunted the forums in the absence of PFF's and is too much of an HP fan to be accepted.

Nope, they're quite stringent here that nothing but fanfiction gets posted up on the main site. All poetry, drabbles, graphics, fanart, and whatnot gets put on the forum. Talk of which, why don't we have a section for that yet?

GASP!!! That will be rectified promptly!

Aw, thanks! It's true, Tonks got totally short-changed in the last two books!

UR doesn't have a filk section, but I suppose it'll be allowed. They're not too strict about what is posted.

Wait. Drabbles aren't allowed? See, when I started Tattered Dreams, I figured those were drabbles (but since drabbles are under 100 words, they aren't). I posted a few of them here, should I take them down?

Tonks should have definitely been a character that showed up more often.

Yeah, that's true, UR is basically post-what-you-want. But here at PFF, you technically aren't supposed ot post any chapters less than 600 words - it used to be that the add-chapter form wouldn't let you proceed if you didn't have 600. Of course, there're ways to circumvent that - you can just add an A/N if it's just short of 600, or combine two chapters into 1 (which is what I did with "The Course of True Love"). So yeah, my recommendation is to either take it down and post it here, or stick a few drabbles together.

Oh, that's right. I remember putting two drabbles together for Tattered Dreams at HPFF and PFF.

Haha, did you see that strange Harry Potter meets the Cullens fic over at UR? I stopped reading almost immediately!
