Certain Defeat

My name came out of the Goblet
And everyone around me is mad
Ron is furious, Dumbledore's disappointed
Bagman is glad
But I'll just have to compete
Even if it's certain defeat
'Cause I'm going against the elite
And there's nothing I can do
Believe me, Ron, I really didn't know
Hermione knows, but still I feel so low
I have no choice, I must compete this
I'm probably going to die
I'm lying awake at night just asking why
I just can't believe
What Rita Skeeter wrote about me
She hardly mentions the other schools
And she forgets Diggory
But her, I'll have to ignore
Though she's annoying to the core
And I might as well laugh before
Before I lose my _____
I have no choice, I must compete
I'm probably going to die
I'm lying awake at nights asking why
This is just too hard for me
I can't expect to win
My god! Dragons as the First Task begins.
I didn't do too badly
But I know the truth, sadly
It was mostly just luck
Next task is underwater
But I doubt that it would matter
Breathe for an hour, what the fuck?
I might win
I might win this yet
But still I'm lying awake thinking why
Hagrid, if you believe in me
And Sirius says try
Even though I'm trying to sleep
And this tournament's still haunting me
Maybe I have no reason to ask why

I'll Save You, Harry

I’ve been inside for twelve years
It’s Azkaban, I call my home
And when I saw the Daily Prophet
It chilled me to my bones
I’ve got to save Harry
I’ve got to save Harry
Now in the grounds at Hogwarts
I’m trying to kill the friend I once knew
He’s a sneaky rat
But now I know a cat
I’m going to take down Pettigrew
I’ve got to save Harry
I’ve got to save Harry
I cornered him
In the Shrieking Shack
He’s about to face the wraith
Of Sirius Black
But Harry was there
And he convinced me
To let Peter go
Then I’d be free
As your godfather, I’ll always help you
I know it’s what James would want me to do
And Harry, I also care for you
I tried to help you your fourth year
During the three tasks
I know that I wasn’t much use to you
But now I’ll always have your back
I’ll protect you, Harry
I’ll protect you, Harry
In the Order
I stayed in my house
Alone with Kreacher
Waiting for your owls
But when I heard
You were in danger
There was no way
That I could stay there
As your godfather, I’ll always protect you
I know it’s what James would want me to do
So you know, after all we’ve been through
You’re like a son to me, too
I get in a duel with Bellatrix
Our spells clash, I fight that bitch
To ensure that Harry is alright
I would give up my life
As your godfather, I’ll always save you
I know it’s what James would want me to do
It’s what he’d want me to do
It’s what I want to do
It’s what I need to do
I feel my spirit moving toward the veil
And I’m getting cold.
I love you, Harry

Umbridge, you are the worst teacher we've ever had
And we won't learn a damn thing from you
Besides rules and such
And it just wastes so much
Time when we should be learning
Defense Against the Dark Arts
So we start the D.A. because this we can't lack
You're a quack because Voldemort's back
I can't believe that you just can't believe
What Dumbledore said
It's not an accident that did lead
To Diggory being dead
How dare you say I'm seeking attention
Like I'd want it from you
You know it's true
So I'll begin the D.A. and show everybody what they need to know because I know that we can defeat Voldemort but to do that our abilities must grow
You're everything that's wrong with the Ministry today
You'd be the most useful if you just went away
And Fudge's paranoia, it's just insane
It proves to be a Minister you don't need a brain
"He's building an army to remove me from my post"
I mean, what the hell?
And I can't believe that you just can't believe
What Dumbledore said
It's not an accident that did lead
To Cedric being dead
How dare you think I'm seeking attention
Like I'd want it from you
You know it's true
Because I'll start the D.A. to show everybody what they need to know because I know that we can defeat Voldemort but to do that our abilities must grow
Umbridge, you're going down
Umbridge, we'll be taking you down
Just give up
And you got rid of Dumbledore so you
Think you can take over the school
Even the other professions know you're a fool
You should be locked with a ghoul
Fred, George, and Peeves are going to drive you insane and you should know that this threat's not feigned so get the fuck out of our school
And I can't believe that you just can't believe
What Dumbledore said
It's not an accident that did lead
To Cedric being dead
How dare you say I'm seeking attention
Like I'd want it from you
You know it's true
So I'll begin the D.A. to show everybody what they need to know because I know that we can defeat Voldemort but to do that our abilities must grow
We can defeat Voldemort; our abilities must grow
We can defeat Voldemort but our abilities must grow

The Weasleys
They’ve been so great to me
Summer shade in the trees
Quidditch with them and me, me and them
It’s so right
Staying up with Ron all night
Lumos to give us light
Talking about brooms we want and girls that we like
Well, there’s Bill and Charlie
One works with dragons in Romania
Bill works in Egypt, finding treasure in crypts
Giving it to Goblins
And then there’s Fred and there’s George!
Playing pranks and making lots of things
I had a bit of a treat, my tongue rolled to my feet
Then became normal again
I just can’t wait
For the Quidditch World Cup
Ireland and Bulgaria
Fighting for the Golden Snitch
With the Weasleys, it’ll be so great
The Weasleys
They’re always great to me
Throwing gnomes past the trees
Telling jokes to Ginny, her laughing
It’s so cool
Staying up in Ron’s room
Noise above from the ghoul
With Hermione, it’s just like Hogwarts School
I can’t forget Percy
He’s now working at the Ministry
He’s working for Crouch, who he always talks about
Percy thinks he’s a king
And of course there’s Ginny
She used to like me; couldn’t talk to me
Now I see her a lot, and I think that she’s hot
But Ron just can’t know
I’m so thankful
Of the Weasleys generosity
I’ve finally found a place for me
Hanging with the Weasleys
It just makes me so damn happy
The Weasleys
They’ve been so great to me
Summer shade in the trees
Quidditch with them and me, me and them
It’s so right
Staying up with Ron all night
Lumos to give us light
Talking about brooms we want and girls that we like
Yeah, I know, I need to go to Hogwarts
Become powerful; then fight Voldemort
I tell Sirius in every letter
That my life is really getting better
I go to school with all my friends
Find out I’ll be in the Triwizard Tournament
Competing with Fleur, Krum and Cedric
And I’m gonna be the one who wins this
Fleur and Krum taken out in the hedges
I grab the cup the same time as Cedric
The Weasleys
They’re always great to me
Throwing gnomes past the trees
Telling jokes to Ginny, her laughing
It’s so cool
Staying up in Ron’s room
Noise above from the ghoul
In Ron’s room, it’s so cool, I turned the posters blue
Yeah, turned them blue
I turned them blue

The End

It's time to defeat Voldemort, what does the future store? Well, I hardly know
Maybe despite all of this time, all of my friends will die but I cannot let such feelings show
I'm just not sure I have what it will take
Oh Merlin, please give me a break
I need to get into Hogsmede, my friends follow my lead and we happen to meet
Aberforth who says that we should stop and just give it all up 'cause Voldemort won't accept defeat
But I say "No, I must go on and fight"
I just hope my decision's right
Now we're looking for a Horcux, but you're out of luck
Because, well, you see
It belonged to Ravenclaw, but, well, the flaw is, we don't know what it could be
Luna speaks, but her words have a cost
The object has so long been lost
I'm slightly stalled, the Carrows were called but McGonagall and I fight them all and then Snape leaves and Percy comes back, we're getting for an attack
Then we all hear Voldemort's voice and he's giving a choice, give me up or die
But everybody's helping me and that's how it should be and I'm not going to die
It'll be a miracle, me coming out alive
I hope none of my friends will have to die
Ron, Hermione, everyone, I love you
And Dumbledore gave me a job to do
The Lost Diadem, who would know? The Ravenclaw ghost, though, I'm not sure the name
Nick says it is the Grey Lady, she at first thinks I'm shady then tells a story of thievery and shame
I know where it is, now I must find it
Things are going well, I must admit
I meet Ron and Hermione and they just tell me another Horcrux is dead
Then we all start moving on but not before long "How about the House Elves?" Ron said
Hermione dropped everything and Ron's kissed
I think to myself Lavender would be pissed
"Accio Horcrux!" It won't work and Malfoy's still a jerk, the giant fire starts
Crabbe dies but Goyle and Malfoy are both saved and oh, joy, Draco and I part
Then we see a duel: Death Eaters versus Fred
But then he gets hit and he drops dead
Ron's in a rage that's far from staged and then I see where he must be, everyone around's in some kind of fight and they're trying to see the light
Through the Whomping Willow I came but Snape died just the same, but not before
He gave me all his memories, what did he want me to see? What truth can these store?
I watch them all play out before me eyes
Snape loved my mother I then realize
I must be killed, it's written down in stone
No time for goodbyes, I go to the forest alone

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.
