Harry's Volunteer Service

By: Harry's_Dark_Side Featuring lyrics by Johnny Cash

As he walked into the soft red light cast by the campfire all the kids in the D.A. Scouts gasped in surprise.

"UNCLE HARRY!!!" they shouted with glee.

"Hey, kids. Today I'm going to be telling you a story, and I'm going to use music." Harry said with a smile.

"Is it a scary story, Uncle Harry?" one of the kids near the front of the pack asked curiously.

Sitting behind the kids on a bench, a pregnant Hermione watched her husband conjure up a guitar with his old mischievous glint in his eye.

Harry started to strum and tune the guitar. Once he was satisfied with it's tuning he began to play rhythmically. After a few seconds he began to sing

An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day

Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way

When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw

A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel

Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel

A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky

For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry

Yippie yi Ohhhhh

Yippie yi yaaaaay

Ghost Riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat

He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet

'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky

On horses snorting fire

As they ride on hear their cry

As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name

If you want to save your soul from Hell a-riding on our range

Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride

Trying to catch the Devil's herd, across these endless skies

Yippie yi Ohhhhh

Yippie yi Yaaaaay

Ghost Riders in the sky

Ghost Riders in the sky

Ghost Riders in the sky

As he finished the song the kids began to cheer.

"I'm glad you liked the song kids, but that's all the time this time. I'll see you again next week." Harry vanished the guitar as he walked over to Hermione. When he reached her he offered her his hand with a devilish grin. "Milady."

"Thank you, Milord!" Hermione said as she took his hand and let him help her up.

As they were walking away, Hermione laid her head on Harry's shoulder and whispered in his ear. "Don't worry, Honey, You'll be a great dad."
