My first year at Hogwarts I boarded the train My stuff it depressed me, but I couldn't complain I met Harry Potter, we soon became friends To spruce up my rat I pulled out my wand and said Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow Turn this stupid, fat rat yellow Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow Turn this stupid, fat rat yellow The spell didn't work, Scabbers stayed gray and sleeping That know-it-all Granger asked what were we doing? She said "that spells not very good, where'd you get it?" I said "Fred and George, they were pulling my leg" Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow Turn this stupid, fat rat yellow Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow Turn this stupid, fat rat yellow Harry tried to make me feel better He said Scabbers' whiskers now looked slightly lighter I knew he was lying, the rat looked the same But when he bit Goyle's finger he rose to rodent fame Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow Turn this stupid, fat rat yellow Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow Turn this stupid, fat rat yellow Turn this stupid, fat rat yellow Turn this stupid, fat rat yellow

It's July 2009 And for Harry Potter fans this is our time Because the sixth movie is finally here And the paperback Deathly Hallows after two long years You'd expect there to be some indication in stores Or the movie theaters to try to dress up a little more But no, I haven't seen even a Potter display case Or a poster in a theater window, why all this disgrace? Do they think that Twilight's the new big thing? Well we're still around and Potter is our king We dressed up for the midnight premier Why don't they have the decency to match our revere? They underestimate us all the time But we are the ones who are still standing in line To enter this world that we'll always pursue Cause we're still alive, and Harry lives on, too. Twilight's fine, but it probably won't last And you might think the Boy Who Lived is part of the past Well then, our post-Potter depression might come as a shock And it's becoming clear Twilighters can't rock like we wrock We've grown up with him and learned from his life And we'll keep the spirit of the story alive We don't want to fight with an unrelated franchise But that we are gone is very dangerous to surmise. Did you think that Harry would ever die? Well love is our story and evil can hide! Ignoring our fandom is something Fudge would do And I really wouldn't want to be like him, now, would you? You underestimate us, think you're above But we will continue to live out our lives in love And watch as all the things that Jo taught us survive Cause we are the fandom and Harry's still alive So stand by and watch as our fandom persists But you are the Ministry and we will resist.

Ronald Weasley Why can’t you see I’m sitting here waiting For you to notice me We’ve been friends for so long And these feelings are strong I don’t know if it’s right But it sure doesn’t feel wrong I think about you all the time I can’t seem to get you off my mind I’m sorry ‘bout Viktor Krum And the canaries I don’t know why you think I like Harry When you snog Lavendar Brown It makes me queasy Why do I love you Ronald Weasley Concentrating On my homework Is hard to do when You’re being such a jerk I’ve been trying to tell you After all we’ve been through I don’t see anyone else The only one for me is you I think about you all the time I can’t seem to get you off my mind I’m sorry ‘bout Viktor Krum And the canaries I can’t believe you thought I liked Harry Snogging Lavendar Brown Was sleazy But I still love you Ronald Weasley I’m hoping that you will figure it out But I can’t hope forever I’m waiting for you to figure it out But I won’t wait forever I’m sorry ‘bout Viktor Krum And the canaries I don’t know why you think I like Harry When you snog Lavendar Brown It makes me queasy Why do I love you Ronald Weasley I’m sorry ‘bout Viktor Krum And the canaries I can’t believe you thought I liked Harry Snogging Lavendar Brown Was sleazy But I still love you Ronald Weasley

Thinking about those muggle tales Where the princess waits for her Prince Charming Well, mine has come and gone And left me to carry on Without him Keep it alive Keep it alive We've got a battle to win We've got to fight to survive Keep it alive While I'm aching inside I might as well do something right Let's keep the DA alive Luna and I will spread the word While Neville shows us his true courage Together we will fight The corruption that's inside What once was our home Keep it alive Keep it alive We've got a battle to win We've got to fight to survive Keep it alive While I'm aching inside I might as well do something right Let's keep the DA alive We'll stand strong We're not alone We've got each other To keep us home Just stand strong You're not alone We're here fighting for you So you can come home Keep it alive Keep it alive We've got a battle to win We've got to fight to survive Keep it alive While I'm aching inside I might as well do something right Let's keep the DA alive Keep him alive Keep him alive He's got a battle to win He's got to fight to survive Keep him alive Keep him out of their sight I've got to know there's something right And keep his army alive

Without You 03:37
I can barely breathe Your words are killing me What can I do? I can't live without you You say we don't belong But I know you're wrong What can I do? I can't live without you I don't want to live in rejection In the name of your protection I want to have the right to be worried for you To share my joys and sorrows with you To hear you say, "Tonks, I love you" Remus, look at me I wish you wouldn't leave What would I do If I had to live without you? I'm worried every day I can't keep my head straight What would I do If I had to live without you? Don't tell me that I deserve better I want you, isn't that what matters? I want to have the right to be worried for you To share my joys and sorrows with you To hear you say, "Tonks, I love you"

Horcruxes 02:13
Harry, are you loosing your mind? I think you must be Harry, are you sleep deprived? You're frightening me You're getting closer and closer to Something that might be considered insanity So, Harry, I think it's time you give the Horcrux to me Ron, stop complaining Or somebody's gonna get hurt. I don't know who, yet, But Harry looks like he might burst After all, we signed up for this, Ron He's our friend, right? And don't we want him to succeed? So, Ron, I think it's time you give the Horcrux to me It's big and it's heavy and ugly and makes me look fat, But I'll wear it because if I don't, Harry and Ron won't get off each others' backs Why are these treacherous thoughts Running through my brain? They make no sense, I believe them, though Am I insane? There's something so heavy, it's starting to hurt me I think I know what it can be So, somebody please take the Horcrux from me Harry, are we loosing our minds? I think we must be Ron left but now there's no time To cry or to grieve We're getting closer and closer to Something that might be an answer But somebody please Find the sword and someone set us free Got to get this Horcrux away from me Someone break the Horcrux and let us be free

It's a little creepy when Your hedge is staring back at you And it's a little scary when A house-elf's sitting on your bed and you Didn't even know what a house-elf was Until he told you And then he says he stole your mail To keep you from going to school And then he drops desert on guests To get you expelled from that wizard school And then you can't get on the train You have to take a flying car Even though you're just twelve You say "Dobby! Stop trying to save me! Dobby! Stop trying to save me! I appreciate the effort you make But I'd rather not go home in a crate Dobby, just leave me alone!" When driving flying cars, One should stay away from angry trees Or else it beats you up And afterwards the tree is the victim And stay away from Quidditch If a crazy house-elf's after you Death by Bludger's not exactly The way that I would choose to go But evidently it is Better to go home in pieces Than to face the monster Terrorizing all the students here While it tries to kill Harry "Dobby! Stop trying to save me! Dobby! Stop trying to save me! I appreciate the effort you make But I'd rather not go home in a crate Dobby, just leave me alone!" But even that house-elf Nearly got him killed more times than once It still seemed quite unfair that the House-elf should get kicked around by those Stupid Malfoys And so Harry made plans to set him free He gave Dobby his sock, but "But Dobby! Stop trying to save me! Dobby! Stop trying to save me! I appreciate the effort you make But I'd rather not go home in a crate Dobby, just leave me alone!" "Dobby! Stop trying to save me! Dobby! Stop trying to save me! I appreciate the effort you make But I'd rather not go home in a crate Dobby, just leave me alone!"
