My one true home

The place where I belong

A fortress that has guided me

And given knowledge I have learned

All things I know and love

Reside here at

Hogwarts

Wands

The wizard chooseth not his wand

A complex matter far beyond

A simple task, it must respond

To form a bond, to form a bond.

To Fight

The evil goal, a baleful plight

But don’t take fright

Be brave, be strong

And come along

The Dark Lord’s forces we resist

We must persist

Please do not fear

You’re needed here

More battles fought can win the war

And then no more

We will be free

Have harmony

Resentment and Fear

Why

Must I

Be the one

That they look to

To solve their problems,

Fend off the Death Eaters,

And be their bloody hero?

The final battle's drawing near.

I hope I’m as lucky the next time

The Dark Lord challenges the Boy Who Lived.
