Sometimes I miss being at Hogwarts But the ministry suits me so much better these days So for now I'm employed as an auror Trying to make the death eaters go away We all lost people we love at the battle of hogwarts We need to do what we can to stay strong Growing up is what I'm worst at And we're not, so different that way Growing up is what your'e worst at I know that we'll get it right some day Sometimes I hate doing magic But muggle studies wasn't my best subject in school I was better at transfiguration, charms, potions, and apparation But I still feel I've got a long way to go I'm always finding magic ways to get myself through these murky days Growing up is what I'm worst at And we're not, so different that way Growing up is what your'e worst at I know that we'll get it right some day

dragon heartstring core in my 10 inch yew, but I'm ditching this wand and coming after you I don't need to curse and i don't need to hex, I just need these fists - so stop trying to flex I've always been the best in my class, learning everything I need to pass but don't worry I am more than qualified to kick your ass so just meet me after class, and we'll fight in the grass by that big willow tree, handing out whompings for free so come along now, you've marked our path i'll strike this match and we can explode Put your wand down, we don't need spells, there's no way in hell I'm going to let you go I can't believe that thing you said, I wish you and your friends were dead If I could end you right now I swear I'd find a way how to pull it off without dementers kissing me now you're all covered in mud, damn right i'm a fucking mudblood, pal

we haven't spoken, since I dropped out of Hogwarts I passed the newts then peaced the fuck out I guess I've broken, whatever strung us together I guess I can see what all the fuss is about And I know, it's kind of hard to deal with my shit But I hope you're not completely over it I mean 2 years is nothing, 2 years is nothing I'm the punchline to a joke I set up months ago this happens to me all of the time So at lunch time, meet me at the leaky cauldron And I'll fill you in on all these secrets of mine I am sorry for everything that I have fucked up And I'm sorry you are always caught up In these delusions of mine, confused all the time I'm sorry that you were a part of this I want to magic us back to the start of this And I don't know why I had to run away But I'm sorry as fuck for it every day I'm sorry that you were a part of this Even though I warned you at the start of this I don't know why you didn't stay away But I'm thankful as fuck for it every day

Don't you think it's funny how purebloods hate our guts? Yet at academics and quidditch we are kicking their butts and they get so freaking mad about it, they just want to shout about it now but we're still great And for the purebloods now it's just a downward spiral All their fear and jealousy has made them homicidal And now they seem so out of touch oh no they're falling so fast When they're surrounded by mudbloods beating them in class I don't think their views can last oh no they're rotting away I bet they learn to keep their mouths shut someday

You are my hermoine, and I am your Ron I can't do mathematics, but I can write you a song Clad with wizard references, but I know you love this stuff Not since the battle at hogwarts castle, has life been this tough but I love you, yes I love you I could find you in the library, you'd find me in the great hall You'd have books under your arm, I'd have no books at all But you'd know I loved you from the way I'd sit and stare And I'd know you loved me too, it shows in how much you care if we were wizards, if we went to hogwarts

about

These are demos for my eventual Harry Potter themed live set. They were all recorded on my phone, except for OTP which was recorded like 6 years prior on my dad's imac using the built in mic.

released July 29, 2017

The song "growing up magic" is based on the song "See You In Six Months" by Cincinnati's best kept pop punk secret Tall Tales.
