WIZARDING (AMERICIAN) PIE (by Helen) A long, long time ago I think it was thirteen years now James Potter was alive to make me smile And I knew if James had the chance He would joke and make those people laugh And maybe they'd be happy for awhile But October made me shiver With every Daily Prophet I'd deliver Bad news on Voldemort I couldn't stand it anymore I can't remember if I cried When I heard exactly how they'd died But something touched me deep inside The day the Potters died. So Bye, bye, the Potters have died Cast a charm on their son just to save his life Them good ole wizards were singing with delight Singing this is the day Voldemort died This is the day Voldemort died Do you have a lightning sore And do you have faith in Dumbledore If other wizards tell you so? Now do you believe you're Voldemort's foe? Can magic save your mortal soul? And can you curse your attackers so they move real slow? Well I know you have to be a witch 'Cause I watched you as you played Quidditch You both took out your wands And practised spells until dawn Harry was a lonely teenage wizard boy With broken glasses and a lightning scar But I knew he was out of luck The day the Potters died. I started singing Bye, bye, the Potters have died Cast a charm on their son just to save his life Them good ol’ wizards were singing with delight Singing this is the day Voldemort died This is the day Voldemort died Now for thirteen years Harry's been on his own Suffering while in the wizarding world he is well known But that's not how he wants it to be When Pettigrew betrayed James and Lily On an October night that was quite chilly He faked his death and left Sirius Black Oh and when Sirius was looking down Wormtail framed him in front of a crowd The courtroom was adjourned No verdict was returned You see, Sirius was jailed without a trial Accused of the Potters' deaths all the while He escaped and swam a mile The day the Potters died We were singing Bye, bye the Potters have died Cast a charm on their son just to save his life Them good ol’ wizards were singing with delight Singing this is the day Voldemort died This is the day Voldemort died With graves as far as the eye could see Harry returned to Hogwarts with a port key A mile high and falling fast Landed flat on the grass Moody came to check on him last Offering to take him to the castle fast Now Dumbledore could spot Death Eaters As well as Bagman played the English Beater Dumbledore followed Mad Eye Knowing his 'guise was a lie 'Cause when Moody tried to kill Harry with a curse Dumbledore took his wand and fired first Do you recall what was next revealed? The day the Potters died We started singing Bye, bye the Potters have died Cast a charm on their son just to save his life Them good ol’ wizards were singing with delight Singing this is the day Voldemort died This is the day Voldemort died Oh, Tom Riddle and Harry were stuck in a tomb-like space The Chamber of Secrets in its rightful place Harry left with little time to fight him So come on, Harry be nimble, Harry be quick Harry was able to dodge the Basilisk 'Cause the snake was Riddle's only friend And as Voldemort cursed Harry in his young age His hands were clenched in fists of rage Harry, who was now living through Hell Just broke that Satan's spell And as the Potters' souls climbed high into the night Having lit their sacrificial rite They saw Voldemort laughing with delight The day the Potters died He was singing Bye, bye, the Potters have died Cast a charm on their son just to save his life Them good ol’ wizards were singing with delight Singing this is the day Voldemort died This is the day Voldemort died Now most wizards will sing the blues There'll be little time for happy news Now that Voldemort has returned Harry went down to the sacred store Where Ollivander remembered Harry's parents years before But he only remembered Voldemort's wand that day And in the streets the wizards screamed The children cried as Death Eaters were seen But not a word was spoken For Dumbledore's power had not been broken And the three men Harry admired most Dumbledore, Sirius, and Cedric's ghost They caught the last train for Hogwart's coast The day the Potters died They were singing Bye, bye, the Potters have died Cast a charm on their son just to save his life Them good ol’ wizards were singing with delight Singing this is the day Voldemort died This is the day Voldemort died Bye, bye, the Potters have died Cast a charm on their son just to save his life Them good ole wizards were singing with delight Singing this is the day Voldemort died This is the day Voldemort died. |
