I met you on the train We were going where we call home Oh I met you on the train We became best friends (But we didn't know it yet) We met when we were just eleven [x3] But now we're all grown up We grew up together [x3] Though times were often tough Times were often tough on us [x3] But we always were friends We three make a good team [x3] And we always will [Chorus] We had adventures and good times We had adventures and tough times Can I say that I stood by your side? Can I say that you stood by mine? [x2] Hermione, won't you dance with me? I don't want to ask too late [x2]

Hermione 04:55
I wouldn't have made it anywhere without you You're the heart of everything I do Hermione “That's not a spell,” you said to me, but girl, it summoned you to me. You've got brains, that's plain to see; but stronger still, your bravery Hermione I ran away but you said my name and I followed the light back to you. When times got tough, you carried through: your patience tried, your friendship proved. Hermione I wouldn't have made it anywhere without you You're the heart of everything I do Hermione I joked about your priorities, but I know that we're your family. You've got brains, that's plain to see; but stronger still, your empathy I ran away but you said my name and I followed the light back to you. When times improved, it was thanks to you: your genius proved, your friendship, too. Hermione

Ron 03:14
What could I have accomplished as an orphan with no friends? You've been here since the beginning; the beginning 'til the end. Oh Ron, what can I say but you are my best friend. I met you on the platform with your family all around. You took me by the hand showed me the magic that surrounds. But Ron, what can I say but your friendship is the best thing I found. We were sorted into houses, divvied up between the four. It was touch and go a little 'til I was sent to Gryffindor. Oh Ron, what can I say but I'm glad to have been in yours. A pure blood came up to me, said that you were hand-me-down; poor and unimpressive, not the sort to keep around. And Ron, what did I say? "I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks," and you and I walked away. You may not have been the chosen one, but I chose you. I chose you. [x2] What could I have accomplished as an orphan with no friends? You've been here since the beginning; the beginning 'til the end.

Harry 03:47
I'm here for you, brother; I'm standing with your sister. We will help share your load. We would die by your side. You don't have to do it alone, but it has to feel that way. Don't you think about leaving in the middle of the night. We're like your right hand and foot, we're like the heart within your chest. You don't have to do it alone, but it shouldn't have to feel that way, and it doesn't have to feel that way.
5.
Whether we're standing at death's door, or laughing in the classroom; whether we're puzzling over a riddle, or crying at the death of a friend: Oh, this is a beautiful place to be with friends. [x2] There was the library and the quidditch pitch, there was the little hut at the edge of the grounds; there was butterbeer and the Burrow, there was the tent where we hid deep in the wild. [Chorus] Well, we traveled and we grew up, and we broke one another's hearts, and I boasted of my talents, and I thought I could do it alone, but this is a beautiful place to be with friends. Oh this is a beautiful place to be with friends. [x7]

about

When the first HP EP was written and recorded ten years ago, the final Harry Potter film adaptation had just had its theatrical release and wizard fever was at its highest temperature since the release of the seventh novel. Since then, thanks to various “authorial missteps” (cough), the fever threatened to take a turn towards nausea, but fans have annexed Hogwarts from the grounds of its architect and the school of witchcraft and wizardry that they have fostered apart from She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has always been a place of welcome and diversity—the kind of place that was the affirming home away from home for the weird kids we all were (and still are) when we read the books dreaming of Our Place. Pride flags fly over our Hogwarts and enby students have a union working towards the dissolution of binary room organization. Remus Lupin was bisexual and had a crush on Sirius Black back in their school days. Its students have always used bathrooms, and so on and so forth.

You-Know-Who still has a platform, still reaps in huge profits from her Harry Potter properties, and is still the prominent voice in the development of the Wizarding World; consequently, participating in the universe she originated is not as easy as it was a decade ago. But the real Hogwarts is in the hands of its students, now, and I am proud to have written this album in the Ravenclaw tower beside the pink, blue, and white of a huge trans flag hung by a proud roommate.

Fellow witches, wizards, and magical folk: thank you for inspiring me in this little musical journey. Let’s continue to raise our wands together, banishing darkness and ignorance.

Lumos maxima! 🗲
