Listen here: Weatherby

Written by DMD, performed by Mr McGonagall and DMD
To the tune of “Wonderful” from the musical “Wicked.”

PERCY-
I always wanted this
I planned it in advance
Yes, I took my own path
I know I took a chance
I’d always seen myself
As a Headmaster or Minister
Instead of who I was
A son of laughing stock
Arthur Weasley

Then suddenly I’m here
Respected-needed even
I was hired by Mr Crouch
I was someone he believed in
It shouldn’t surprise you
I got hooked, it’s not so soon
I don’t care what you say
I’ve been carried away
And not just by my broom

Weatherby
He calls me Weatherby
So I’ll be Weatherby-if he insists
I will be diligent
They said I’m trustworthy
I know I won’t try to resist
Cause it feels wonderful
Yes, my work matters now
I’m gonna be someone
This Weasley son
Who said I’ve got to leave
To gain my dignity
And build a new life all on my own

See, I’ve never felt a part of this family before
So I decided to go where I was appreciated

MOLLY-
So you disowned us?

PERCY-
Mother, at the ministry
Our leaders have far more important things to do…
Than listen to Dumbledore

You’re known as blood traitors- not liberators
Malfoy’s our friend-and philanthropist
Your warnings are worthless, the Dark Lord’s gone now
You’re stirring up trouble
A bubble that will burst
We are not at all at ease
With moral ambiguities
And so we choose to say he doesn’t exist

They call me Weatherby
So I am Weatherby
I’m so happy with who I am
I may change my name
Don’t look like that, you know you are to blame
At long, long last I’ve broken free
Now let me be
Honestly, Can’t you see I’m through now
With you and Dumbledore now
You’re only hope’s to change your ways
Refute that Voldemort is back
And I’ll come home to you….

Weatherby, they call me Weatherby

MOLLY-
My Percy Weasley

PERCY-
Trust me I’m not
Scrimgeour’s calling me
Please don’t come after me
Wonderful, Minister… Yes, Sir
