Sirius Christmas

Summary:

After finishing up with the crowd pleasing "God Rest Ye Merry Hippogriffs," Sirius writes a new festive holiday song. This song has everything: bad name puns, Grimmauld Place bashing, Snape hating, and it puts Sirius in a very, very happy mood for the holidays. Set during Order of the Phoenix. A song filk to "Step Into Christmas" by Elton John.

Sirius Christmas
Don't want to miss this
We can stay together forever and ever
No time to be tragic, everything's magic
Sirius Christmas
There's none like this

Notes:

"Sirius Christmas" filked to "Step Into Christmas" by Elton John. Originally filked December 2004.

Work Text:

Sirius
Welcome back to Grimmauld Place
I know it sucks to be back here
So I'm a'singing you this brand new song
To fill the holidays with cheer

I know that things have all been so dark 
You'd say it's serious
But when I make this Christmas best
Oh!...
You'll use that word a new way

Sirius Christmas
Don't want to miss this
We can stay together forever and ever
No time to be tragic, everything's magic
Sirius Christmas
There's none like this

Remus
Oh no, you're using the name pun
See I told you it's not funny
Sirius
We'll you've just no humour at all, It
Always made James laugh and fall

Harry begins laughing at the two of them

Harry
How could I think that running to
Privet Drive was right to do?
Ron
I'm glad you've come to your senses
Hermione
Yep, and Happy Christmas to you

Sirius
(spoken) Not just a happy one!
(sings)
Sirius Christmas
Don't want to miss this
We can talk together forever and ever
No time to be tragic, everything's magic
Sirius Christmas
There's not one like this
Oh!...

Music break comes on, and the following dialogue goes on over it

Remus (spoken)
Are you saying there's never been a Christmas where you use the name pun? Because that would be a lie. You've used it before during Christmas, and you've used it other times more often than necessary.

Sirius (spoken)
NO, I mean a Christmas like this! With Harry, Ron, Hermione, you, me, and everyone! But yeah...the name pun's good as well.

Remus (spoken)
Heh, I see what you mean. But no, the name pun's not funny and it never will be. If you keep using it, then I won't sing later.

Sirius (spoken)
Oh, you know you'll sing anyway. Especially if I get you drunk.

Remus (spoken)
What?!

Sirius (spoken)
Uh...nevermind.

Hermione (spoken)
Hey Sirius, where's Kreacher?

Sirius (spoken)
Dunno...haven't seen him since I told him to get out...

Harry (spoken)
You don't think he's left the house, do you?

Sirius (spoken)
Nah, he's not allowed...maybe he went and broke his leg in the attic. Hah! Then it'd be a real 'Sirius' Christmas for him. Get it?

Remus (spoken after he sighs and shakes his head)
Oh God...

Sirius
See how nice the house looks now
It's really hard to recognize
'Cause I a'cleaned and now the house just gleams
Now it's no place that I despise

This is done for you by yours truly
You all mean loads to me
That elf didn't help, eh, oh well
Oh!...
We'll have such fun I can tell

Sirius, Remus, Harry, Ron and Hermione
Sirius Christmas
Don't want to miss this
We can sing together forever and ever
No time to be tragic, everything's magic
Sirius Christmas
There's not one like this

Sirius
Sirius Christmas
Rest ye Hippogriffs
Hogwarts Wonderland, Silver Moons, and Mischief Night
Carol of the Spells, Broom Ride, Joy to Owls
And don't you forget
Snape the Big Nosed Git

Sirius, Remus, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred, George, Tonks and Moody
Sirius Christmas
Don't want to miss this
We can sing together forever and ever
No time to be tragic, everything's magic
Sirius Christmas
There's not one like this
Sirius
Oh!...

Sirius, Remus, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred, George, Tonks and Moody
A...Sirius Christmas
You...don't want to miss this
A...Sirius Christmas
Ah...
Sirius
Oh!...
