Nerve

I just saw Ginny Weasley
Why do I feel like
I’ve been bitten by a doxy?
How come I never noticed
She came out of her shell
And now I just can’t focus
Is this how it feels
to be struck by lightning
Head over heels
And I can’t stop falling
I lost my courage
I’ve been disarmed
Then she cast a summoning charm
Chorus:
There’s just something ’bout the
Way she slings that bat bogey hex
That sets off the baby
monster that’s inside of my chest
Been a rebel ever
Since she learned that
anything is possible if
you’ve got enough nerve
She’s killer at impressions
And playing quidditch, she
out-flies the competition
A seeker and a chaser
Better not mess with her
cause then you’ll have to face her
Taking on bullies
double her size
If she wins the duel
I won’t be surprised
This witch holds her own
With six older brothers
Ginny, you’re not like the others
Chorus
Don’t cross her or you’ll get hexed
Can’t wait to see what she’ll do next (x3)
Don’t cross her or you’ll get hexed
Can’t wait to see what’s coming next
Chorus

Lost and Found
04:22
|
|||
I peeked in here and looked up there
And checked once more right down the hall
I took some parchment and a quill
And pinned my note up on the wall
You see, I've lost all my possessions
Some people hide them all around
I guess you think I'm a bit odd
So I'll just wait until they're found
So here's a list of my missing books and clothes
In case you should find any of those
Chorus 1
So please return my things
I'm not looking for a fight
But you've taken my belongings
Though I guess that it's alright
Cause I know they'll come back
I'm just not really sure when
Still, they always seem to turn up in the end
I took the list and signed my name
And chose a seat in this dusty place
A pub's a strange spot for a meeting
They answered questions, made their case
Some folk are just so narrow-minded
They need to see things to believe
But they can't stop us from learning
Cause we refuse to stay/be naive
I've always known there's darkness lurking out there
Now I've finally found people who care
Chorus 2
And here we are
Casting spells behind the door
And we'll keep tossing sparks
Till we're ready for the war
And we will stand our ground
Until the very end
This feels almost like having friends
Chorus 1
Chorus 2
This feels almost
At least I think this feels almost
This feels almost like having friends.

Hufflepuff
03:10
|
|||
Did you know that Hufflepuff’s
the best kept secret at Hogwarts?
If you stopped to pay attention
You would notice
We never break any rules
And we don’t wanna get caught
Why is our reputation
Defined by who we’re not?
We are always working hard
And that’s just part of who we are
You’ve gotta admit, we get things done
When we party, get excited
Because everyone’s invited
When we’re all together, it’s more fun
Chorus
We’re Hufflepuff!
We’ve got your back
And the best snacks
Next door to the kitchens
Hufflepuff!
We’ll stick around
Wipe off that frown
Cause our house is witchin’
Back in 1998
We fought in the battle of Hogwarts
We just stayed, there was no question
That’s who we are
Some people think we’re a bore
They’re entitled to their opinion
But with the way the world is now
Kindness is an act of rebellion
I’m not angry, I won’t shout
But I just think you’re missing out
On friends who would stand by you any day
Plus we’ve got some comfy chairs
And we could tame your Devil’s Snare
This friendly Hufflepuff is here to stay
Chorus

Hey there! It's been a while.
You missed a lot, so listen here
Ghost hasn't gone out of style
But I could've sworn it's been nineteen years
Oh this must be my lucky day
Who stumbled in but a couple of boys
Now I am so happy to say
I snagged a Potter and a Malfoy!
Wuh oh wuh oh I've got a reputation
Wuh oh and it's no cause for celebration
So I'm saying hello to the next generation
You can call me Myrtle Elizabeth Warren
Myrtle Elizabeth Warren
Myrtle Elizabeth Warren
My job has changed since we last met
I advocate for human rights
Remotely taking on each threat
So call your reps and join the fight
When people tried to silence me
I stood my ground and I resisted
Because we need equality
And nevertheless, I persisted
Wuh oh wuh oh I've got a reputation
Wuh oh and yeah it's cause for celebration
So I'm standing up for the next generation
You can call me Myrtle Elizabeth Warren
Myrtle Elizabeth Warren
Myrtle Elizabeth Warren
Nevertheless, I persisted (repeat)
You can call me Myrtle Elizabeth Warren
Myrtle Elizabeth Warren
Myrtle Elizabeth Warren.

You overheard
And the word is they
Might close the school
What if they close the school?
And then you say
That either way
You won’t be coming back here
You’re not coming back
Well we knew you would say that
And Harry, we’ll be coming with you
We’ve all been through so much
But there’s still so much to do
Chorus
Know that we’re here
We’re not going anywhere
We’ll stand beside you in the dark
And we’ll fight
You’ve got a long way to go
We’ll keep you company on the road
You don’t have to do his all alone
You have us
And we’re with you, whatever happens
We’ll stick together
We’ve taken measures
To protect the ones we’ll be leaving behind
Fighting a war
You said before
There was time to turn back
Well we’re not turning back
We’ve been packing for days so
We’re ready to leave any time now
We know perfectly well
What could happen but we’re going anyhow
Chorus

Math
03:23
|
|||
We were great star-crossed lovers
I’d tell you about it if I could
But I won’t tell you our story
It will die with us, as it should
If I tried, I’d disappear
Into a puddle of tears
So I will talk about math instead, instead
Chorus
Oh I’m not a mathematician – wuh oh wuh oh – but I do know
That there are infinite numbers between one and zero
And I am so very grateful – oh that okay – is our always
Cause you gave me a forever within the numbered days
You were a welcome addition
So I’m thankful that 1+1 is 2.
Cause you’re one in a million
And I don’t wanna see a world without you
There are days when I resent
The small size of our set
Because I want more numbers than we’re likely to get, to get
Chorus
There’s no place I’d rather be
Than in our little infinity
But the world is not a wish granting factory
Chorus

Happy Song
03:27
|
|||
I haven’t written a full song in ages
I’ve scribbled notes and then ripped out the pages
You would think I’m not inspired
And I’m really getting tired
I know that I can write about heartbreak
But when I try now, I just get a headache
Cause you have turned my life around
Now I bet you can guess what I have found
I didn’t know what to write about
But now I think I’ve got it figured out
Chorus:
I’m the happiest I’ve ever been
In case you couldn’t tell by my grin
And it has been way too long
So I’ll start writing happy songs
Start writing happy songs.
I freaking love your laugh and the way I have to work for it
You won’t just hand em out, and that’s why I adore it
It’s never been like this with any other guy
It’s been a year and you still give me butterflies
No matter what goes wrong, you make it all better
When I’m with you, it’s like nothing else matters
And you’re one of the best people I know
Without a fight, I’m not gonna let you go
I couldn’t figure out what to do
But all I need to know is I’ve got you
Chorus
I’m so happy that we’re together
This past year has been the best year ever
Chorus

Home
03:12
|
|||
Can’t believe they’re done
And two thousand seven’s so far gone
Oh but don’t be scared
Cause the books aren’t going anywhere
JK Rowling once said
that Hogwarts will always
Be there to welcome you home
Just like magic, it seems
These books can make you
Feel like you’re never alone
Chorus:
You’ve become a part of me
And I take you wherever I go
Harry, I’m coming home
Harry, I’m coming home
And time it passes by, but
No matter how far I roam
Harry, I’m coming home
Harry, I’m coming home
I’m coming home
Now my bags
Are packed
Better watch out cause I’m coming back
To a place
I know
And there’s nowhere else I’d rather go
There are places out there
Where people get you
People will understand
That it’s not just a book
It’s your childhood
And it’s music, so join the band
Chorus
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
It feels like home
It feels like home
This feels like home
Chorus

Making History
03:36
|
|||
Hey! We left school, we’re on the run now
Hey! The rules stopped working out for me
Hey! But I’m not phased, I’ve done the research
Hey! I’m as ready as I’ll ever be
Prechorus
It’s time to stop reading
And start writing, Hermione
Put down those history books
And start making history
Chorus:
The time has come to take a stand
So we’re taking matters into our own hands
Now it’s up to us
We know we’re young and we don’t care
With the ministry in charge, we went nowhere
And now it’s up to us
Hey! We’ve been through so much already
Hey! We took on every task we crossed
Hey! I just know something bigger’s coming
We’ll face it! No matter what the cost
Prechorus
Chorus
Cause I’m the
Spell casting
Riddle solving –Hermione Granger
Potion brewing
Research gathering
Time traveling – Hermione Granger
Hermione Granger

Do What You Love
03:55
|
|||
You learned to ride a bike
You learned to tie your shoes
And you learned you could do anything
That you put your mind to
You could be a famous artist
You could be a big rockstar
and you could even change the world
As long as you try really hard
Before you know it, there are exceptions to the rule
What if all you want to do just isn’t taught in school?
If you’ve been discouraged, what you want may feel less clear
So let me tell you what you need to hear
Chorus:
Oh, the things you create
Make the world a better place
Don't settle for someone else's dream
It'll be really tough
But know that you are good enough
Do what you love and don't look back
I’ve always been different
I never took the easy road
And I’ve got so many things to say
That I just might explode
Making beauty out of nothing
Posting for the world to see
Then my family started asking
What will soon become of me
But I can handle it… I don’t need you to understand
All I ask is that you please accept me for who I am
I already know that there are no guarantees
All I really wanted was for someone to tell me…
Chorus
If you accept that and feel it deep down in your soul
Then you, my friend, can finally stand up and take control
Be who you are
You're not anyone but you
And you won't need their approval
They won't be able to stop you
Chorus
|

11. |
||||
Ever since I was a kid
I couldn’t explain the things I did
Thought it would make my family proud
Instead it kind of freaks them out
If there’s a place where I could go
To step outside the status quo
I’d tackle every lesson plan
If I could stop hiding who I am
Petunia told me you’re lying
She just won’t believe you
Says there is no Hogwarts
So Sev, is it really true?
Chorus:
But it’s real for us
It’s real for us
Doesn’t matter what the muggles say
Cause it’s real for us
It's real for us
Oh, it's real for us
It doesn't matter what the muggles say
Cause it's real for us
He says they’ve cast protective charms
To keep the school away from harm
Hidden away from muggle eyes
They couldn’t find it if they tried
I just can’t wait to go and see
So many people just like me
Cause all I’ve wanted for so long
Is to find a place where I belong
It’ll come by owl
A letter just for me
Is this really happening?
Cause it feels just like a dream
Chorus
We can do magic
Can do magic
Can do magic
If we stand together
Stand together
Stand together
Chorus
