A Foolish Ravenclaw 04:00
lyrics

I was so young and so foolish, too Teaching Muggle Studies at Hogwarts wizarding school Thinking a sabbatical would have done me well I left my post, hoping the monotony would quell I went to an Albanian forest and I came out changed Because I had met He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named He told me things I had not thought of prior And whispered in my ear an object which I should acquire So I went to Gringotts bank and tried to steal the Stone But it was already taken, I realized as I groaned Then I headed back to Hogwarts, all his plans were post-poned He then ensured never again would I ever be alone And I won't fail I won't fail Weeks later, Minerva told me that I looked ill In the days to pass, Sprout and Flitwick said the same thing still I guess that it makes sense, I must not appear my best But nobody'd look amazing if they're failing the Dark Lord's quest So I unleash the troll Halloween night to steal the Stone Heading for the third-floor corridor, this time I wasn't alone But Snape got there first, and I think that my cover is blown And through it all, my Master's impatience has grown I won't fail I won't fail I won't fail I won't fail I know what they all say, they say that I am weak Afraid of my own subject, and I stutter when I speak But now I'll give you no choice, and you all must respect me Just look at all my power, intelligence and cunning I am finally being everything I can be despite this frame frail And I know that I will not fail There's no chance that I could not fail So I launch myself at Potter and try to obtain the Stone But a force rocked through my body, and it's like I am thrown Then I feel a pain that chills me to my very bones My Master leaves my body, and again, I am alone The night the Sorting Hat placed me in Ravenclaw, I shone Yet always bitter because I always wished I was more well know Will I ever have the chance for my mistakes to atone? Spending the last year of my life trying to get that precious stone? I thought that I was clever, I didn't see my flaws All I was, however, was a foolish Ravenclaw

Cho Chang (A Failed Dream) 03:43
lyrics

I can’t believe we just kissed In the Room of Requirement You were crying, I was in shock Wondering ‘Did you really mean it?’ Now with you, I get the whole scope And it’s not all that I hoped You keep bringing up Cedric And you want me to help you cope I cannot do that (I’m not cruel, I just don’t want to get into it) My humor, it falls flat (Oh Cho, please, please just stay) And I just don’t know what I should do I know I dreamed of being with you, but not every dream can come true I cannot tell if this will work out I guess we should just try it again, but please, oh please don’t mention him I can’t believe you defend her Marietta, that sneak Ron can be a jerk at times But he doesn’t betray me Oh, she blabbed on the D.A. She told Umbridge, it’s true If you’re going to remain friends I’m not sure I can stay with you It’s not an excuse (I like you, but honestly, what the hell’s with that?) There’s nothing we can do (It is sad, but it’s true) And this whole thing was just a mistake You want me to talk of him, but I’ve relived it with my good friends I know you’re sad, but Cho, don’t feel bad Our relationship wasn’t meant to be, and you’ll be happier without me Without me We gave it our best shot But it was all for naught Look at me, you see Cedric I will go on with Hermione and Ron And you have your own friends to help you with the things that you will go through And if one day, we pass in the hallway I’ll ignore you and I bet that you would hardly even notice it (I can’t believe how this year’s been I wasted half of it with you) Notice it (I could have practiced Legilimency And other important things too) Notice it (I regret that I hurt you I hope you are forgiving) Notice it (Please Cho, have a good life You’ll be happy without me) I will forget you

I Now Know 04:06
lyrics

I was just a boy when you said to me Mudbloods would never be equal to we And I sighed "Draco, I don't understand what is wrong The Dark Lord was right, you know where you belong With your kind" I don't understand why we set them apart They're still magical and still have beating hearts Do they not? He shook his head and looked slightly enraged And screamed all Mudbloods should be in a cage For safety I didn't believe that until three years had passed And friendships with Mudbloods never seemed to last For me I know it can't be me so it must be them Their parents have no magic under their skin Mudbloods are not really wizards They are lesser creatures indeed The Dark Lord, well he must have been right I realize it all now A year before Hogwarts, I came up to you And said, "Father, what you said of Mudbloods is true. I now know." At first it looked as though you were thrown off track. But then quickly you just smiled back. And I left.

Hermione's Choice 04:00
lyrics

In the library, Fred and George found us They said McGonagall wanted us at once As we follow them to her office We both try to hide our nervousness We’ve been trying to help Harry with this Task Of course we would, didn’t need to ask But we wonder, “Does McGonagall know?” Will she tell us to leave Harry alone? If it comes down to that, I will refuse Ron and I, we will stick with you I know that’s it’s cheating, more or less But we know that you’d do the same for us In the office, we both sit down Learn we’re not in trouble after all The thing you’ll miss most for the Task We find out that it’s one of us When she says I’ll be there for Krum I take a quick turn to look at Ron Ron looks like he’s been blown away If I could, wouldn’t know what to say What should I do? Viktor likes me. But I’ll see Ron in the school three more years at least I know I’m not just some prize to be won. I like Viktor, but I also like Ron. As I wake up, eyes to the sky I see Viktor’s half-shark face to my side Now up on the shore, dry and warm Viktor takes me and informs “I’ve never felt this way before About any other Durmstrang girl.” He says it’s me that he adores And this summer, would I like to visit him? I don’t know what to do, I’ve never heard Anyone say something that sweet to me before I know that if I went, Ron would just die. But why should I base this choice on his life? I know that Ron likes me, but just won’t admit But what he did at the Yule, I just can’t forget Viktor has now revealed to me his heart If I wait, would Ron do that as well? Will Ron do that as well? Ron would do it as well. I now know what to do, I’m not confused. Viktor, I can’t be with you. My feelings are pulling me towards someone else. Viktor, please, don’t blame yourself. I know where my hearts lies, but time will tell. If Ron can learn to accept his feelings as well. I know if he does, it’ll be alright Because I need Ron in my life

This Is For James and Lily Potter 05:37

In Azkaban - a soulless, dark cage In a broken man - sparks an old rage This is for James and Lily Potter They were the friends that you betrayed I'll somehow get into Hogwarts Castle And your mistakes shall be paid They shall be paid My one shining light - my Godson Harry I saw him last night - and oh, my heart... On my way to Hogsmede I now have the strength I need This is for James and Lily Potter They were the friends that you betrayed I'll somehow get into Hogwarts Castle And your mistakes shall be paid They shall be paid I miss James so much now I can't forget those days Peter, why did you do this? I thought we were your friends This is for James and Lily Potter They were the friends that you betrayed I'll somehow get into Hogwarts Castle And your mistakes shall be paid This is for James This is for James This is for James This is for James

Dumbledore was a great man, and he cared for us all Now that he is gone, should we let Hogwarts fall? Are the students safe? Who would send their children back? The whole future of Hogwarts now is black Dumbledore is dead, I'm not sure what we should do Dumbledore is dead, perhaps now Hogwarts is through Our great mentor has left us, how do we go on? Now that Dumbledore is dead, will Hog-, will Hogwarts be gone? Slughorn said it'd be best that the school is closed Flitwick said we should try, but really, who knows? I'm just not sure which of the routes we should take I look out with teary eyes to the lake Dumbledore is dead, I'm not sure what we should do Dumbledore is dead, perhaps now Hogwarts is through Our great mentor has left us, how do we go on? Now that Dumbledore is dead, will Hog-, will Hogwarts be gone? Then I ask Hagrid, he says that if one Student wants to return, he should be allowed to come We're his family, I know he'll never leave We'll support each other while we grieve Dumbledore is dead, I now know what we should do Dumbledore is dead, but we will not close the school Our great mentor has left us, but he'd want us to move on Dumbledore is dead, but Hog-, Hogwarts won't be gone Dumbledore is dead Our great mentor has left us, but he'd want us to move on Dumbledore is dead, but Hogwarts It will not be gone

about

The Secret Broom Cupboard of Salazar Slytherin Columbia City, Indiana

I like to say we're the poor man's The 8th Horcrux. We've been doing our brand of parody wizard rock since 2010, though on hiatus. Composed of brothers James and Michael Mahoney (both Pottermore Slytherins) currently residing in Indiana. We have fun writing and recording our parodies, even if no one else listens.
