So This Is Hogwarts (War Is Over)

to the tune of “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” by John Lennon

 

 

So this is Hogwarts,
And look what we’ve done.
Another war over
And a new age just begun.

And so this is Hogwarts,
And though we have won,
We lost far too many,
The old and the young.

We did it. We bashed them.
Wee Potter’s the one,
And Voldy’s gone moldy,
So now let’s have fun.

And so this is Hogwarts
For half-bloods and pure,
For elves and for centaurs.
You can be secure.

And welcome back, Hogwarts,
For Muggle-borns too,
For giants and werewolves.
The fight is now through.

We did it. We beat them,
So let’s have good cheer.
All wands in the air now
Without any fear.

And so this is Hogwarts,
And what have we done?
So much has been broken.
Rebuilding’s just begun.

And so hello, Hogwarts.
It’s good to be back.
With magic around us,
We fought off attack.

We did it. We bashed them.
Wee Potter’s the one,
And Voldy’s gone moldy,
So now let’s have fun.

War is over here at Hogwarts.
War is over now.
