This is a picture of a Banshee, And this

Is a Hinkypunk which you might see

When you are crossing the bogs. And this is a Deflection charm

Which in any case we cannot practice. The Dementors

Have left Azkaban and can't be stopped with Deflection charms

Which in any case we cannot practice

This is a picture of a Sneakoscope which can be unreliable

And needs to be kept level. And please do not let me

See anyone bring one into class. You will not need

Such dangerous instruments here. The Giants have been

Persuaded to join Voldemort and they will not care if

Anyone brings one into class.

And on page 5 is Expelliarmus. The purpose of this

Is to disarm your opponent. We can use the spell

Rapidly and they cannot harm us. We call this

Deflection. And Cedric's grey eyes never saw the green spell

Rapidly crossing the graveyard. He couldn’t use

Deflection.

We can't use Unforgiveables, or Expellimarmus for it's easy

Says Umbridge to fight the foes with theory, for we

Won't need Deflection charms which in any case

We cannot practice. The sun shines.

And the world waits in ignorant silence for the war to come

For today we have Defence Against the Dark Arts.
