Stay: A Harry Potter Parody
written by Katy Haile

You say, I only do what I want to
You say, I break rules all the time...so?
I've always known what i had was special
Always knew I didn't quite belong
And now that I've left those muggles
I realize that they treated me wrong
I don't miss them
No, I don't miss them

You say, I only do what I want to
I don't listen hard, to all the precautions
That are given by Professor Dumbledore, every year
Stop berating me, I don't really care
I'm sick of hearing negative: no no bad

So I, put on my dad's old invisibility cloak
And I walk out through the school
I ran into Filch so I had to run away
Found the mirror of Erised and wanted to stay
There with my parents who were gazing down and smiling
Just as they were the day I was born
Well, it's not that I don't wanna leave them but I don't

And I thought I'd stay forever, but Dumbledore arrived
He said this mirror, it is clever
But it won't take me anyhow or anywhere but down
I guess that I was naive and
Maybe I was not strong
I thought "hey I can leave, I can leave"
Oh, but Dumbledore knew I was wrong, Cause I miss them
Yeah, I miss them

He said I've watched you for a long time, now this mirror must go
It won't be here tomorrow, I'm sorry Harry no
I know it's hard to lose
And I say "ok"
And you say, I only do what I want to
