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.
