Author's Notes:
Original Work: Enchanted, by Taylor Swift
Author's Note: Russia Snow will understand the capitalization the way it is. :D
there i was on christmas eve
found that i could not believe
that no one was there with me
walls of insincerity
shifting eyes and vacancy
vanished when i saw your face
all i can say is i’m enchanted to meet you
your eyes whispered "Have we met? "
across the room your silhouette
starts to make its way to me
the playful jinx and hexing stArts
counter all your quick remarks
like passing wands in secrecy
and it was enchanting to meet you
all i can say is i was eNchanted to meet you
this night is sparkling, don't you let it go
i'm wonderstruck, blushing to my own dorm
i'll spend forever wondering if you knew
i was eNchanted to meet you
the lingering question kept me up
2 Am, who do you love?
me or dean or finch-fletchley too?
and now i'm pacing back around
wishing you were in my house
i'd open up and you would say, Hey
it was enchanting to meet you
all i know is i was enchanted to meet you
this Night is sparkling, don't you let it go
i'm wonderstruck, blushing to my own dorm
i'll spend forever wondering if you know
this night is charming, don't you let it gO
i'm wonderstruck, dancing when all alone
i'll spend forever wondering if you knew
i was enchanTed to meet you
this is me casting that
this was the very first page
not where the book of speLls ends
my thoughts will echo your name
until i see you again
these are the words i held back
on christmas eve at oUr dance
i was enchanted to meet you
please don't be in love with someone else
please don't have somebody waiting on you
please don't be in love with someone else
please don't have somebody waiting on you
this night is sparkling, don't you let it go
i'm wonderstruck, blushing to my own dorm
i'll spend forever woNdering if you know
this night is flawless, don't you let it go
i'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
i'll spend forever wondering if you knew
i was enchanted to meet you
please don't be in love with someone else
please don't hAve somebody waiting on you
8. You're a Mean One, Voldemort by Hypatia
Author's Notes:
Original work: You're a Mean One, Mr Grinch
You’re a mean one, Voldemort!
You really are a snake.
You're as cuddly as a Kappa,
And as slippery as a Shrake,
Voldemort!
You're a pasty vampire,
who’s heart could use a stake!
You're a monster, Voldemort!
Your nose is but a hole.
Your brain is full of Doxies.
You've got dungbombs in your soul,
Voldemort!
Your aroma is less pleasant than a
putrid Mountain troll!
You're a vile one, Voldemort!
You have eyes of scarlet red.
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a hungry Quintaped,
Voldemort!
Given the choice between the two of you,
I'd rather date the giant squid!
You're a foul one, Voldemort!
Frankly, everyone’s appalled!
Your heart is full of Flobberworms.
Your soul has been recalled,
Voldemort!
The three words that best describe you
Are as follows, and I quote,
"bold, bad, bald!"
You're a blighter, Voldemort!
You are rotten to the core!
Your personality is as pleasant
as a temperamental Runespoor,
Voldemort!
Your soul is an apalling dump-heap,
filled with manky bits of slime-covered filth
which if inspected would be rejected
by a starving Dementor!
You nauseate me, Voldemort!
Is my message coming across?
I don’t care that you have declared
yourself the Death Eaters’ boss,
Voldemort!
You're a flesh-eating slug
and dugbog sandwich,
With aconite sauce!
9. Snidgets We Have Heard on High, Version 2 by iLuna17
Original work: Angels We Have Heard on High
Author's Note: This is like, Luna and Xeno's theme song... (kidding! but they would sing it a lot :D )
Snidgets we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o'er the plains.
And the Nargles in reply,
Confusing wizard's helpless brains.
Snor------kacks, in excelsis Deo.
Snor------kacks, in excelsis Deo.
Come to our Lovegood house and see
All the joy the Dirigible Plums bring.
Come adore on bended knee
Ravenclaw's Diadem and lost ring.
Snor------kacks, in excelsis Deo.
Snor------kacks, in excelsis Deo.
Heliopaths the fires take
Gulping Plimpies repelled by Gurdyroots laid.
Luna, Daddy, what’s at stake
To get the Plimpies on a plate.
Snor------kacks, in excelsis Deo.
Snor------kacks, in excelsis Deo.
Snor------kacks, in excelsis Deo.
10. It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas by Acacia Carter
Author's Notes:
Original work: It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
Author's Note: Because I have to have SOMETHING to show for humming "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" over and over and driving my coworkers mad.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There are baubles in all the trees
Fairy lights in the eaves
And singing suits of armor all aglow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
And snow is coming down
Let’s get a warm Butterbeer
Warm up with Christmas cheer
On our trip to town
A brand new Quaffle that’s red and a self-waxing sled
Is the wish of Alex and Gwen
Vanilla perfume and a new flying broom
Is the hope of Candice and Ken
And mum and dad can hardly wait
For school to start again
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree up in the Great Hall
Garland on all the walls
All the students playing outside in the snow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the feasts will start
And what makes it extraordinary
is the magic that you carry
Deep within your heart
A brand new Quaffle that’s red and a self-waxing sled
Is the wish of Alex and Gwen
Vanilla perfume and a new flying broom
Is the hope of Candice and Ken
And mum and dad can hardly wait
For school to start again
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the feasts will start
And what makes it extraordinary
Is the magic that you carry
Deep within your heart
11. Godric's Hollow Carol by welshdevondragon
Author's Notes:
Original work: Coventry Carol
Author's Note: Not terribly Potterised, and I hope it makes sense. The singer is Albus, the friend is Gellert, and the sweet scared girl is Ariana. Thanks Julia for introducing me to this beautiful carol. In return, can I point you towards Sufjan Stevens version (if you haven’t heard of him-he’s mates with The National so you probably have-then he is possibly the coolest person on the planet)
Lully, lullay, sweet, scared girl,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.
Lullay, sweet, scared girl,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.
O my friend too, what can we do,
To atone for our deeds this day
And my poor sister’s graveyard home.
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.
Arrogant, fighting, in our raging,
Chargéd, we hath in chaos
Ta’en our might, and in our own sight,
That sweet, scared girl slain.
And grief is mine, poor sister and thee!
And ever mourn and sigh,
For this day neither say nor sing,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay
Lully, lullay, sweet, scared girl,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.
Lullay, sweet, scared girl,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.
12. Lumos Merrily on High by minnabird
Original work: Ding Dong Merrily on High
Author's Note: It's sort of a...happy "Grindelwald is gone" kind of song. I suppose in retrospect I could stick "Harry" in there as easily as "Albus" but I kind of like it with Albus.
Lumos merrily on high,
From out of darkness, wandlight:
Lumos, verily the sky
Is lit before our si-ight.
Glo---------ria, we’re saved, O let us si-ing.
E’en so here below, below,
A happy cry is sung out,
And in times to come, io,
A banner will be hung out:
Glo---------ria, on this day we were savéd.
Pray you, happily recall
This day in tales, ye mothers;
May you dutifully call
Your grateful praise, ye fathers.
Glo---------ria, on this day Albus saved us.
