lyrics

I walk the streets of Hogsmeade
in this broken body
it's been almost a year since the triwizard cup
since I died in that tournament
I'm heading to Madame Puddifoot's
where I took Cho Chang last Valentine's
and I know no one can see me
I'm just going to pass the time

but there in the window I see her
sharing a table with Harry Potter
the one that was there the night that I died
how dare he sits in that chair while I'm freezing outside

This is going to be a lonely valentine's

I spent months studying
in the Hogwarts library
trying to find some kind of spell
that will let her see dead people
if only fairy tales existed
I'd run straight home
and grab my Tales of Beedle the Bard
and start my quest for the resurrection stone

Fred and George can I have some of your candy
make it the kind that gives never ending nose bleeds
it's not for me it's for my old pal Harry
just give me anything that will get him out of that seat

This is going to be a lonely valentine's there's no one to be mine
I'm here watching my Cho Chang as she... wait
she's looking towards me
I wave and I scream could she possibly see me
but no she turns back to her tea with Harry
This is going to be a lonely valentine's

Let's take it back to the hangleton graveyard
my body cold on the ground
your spell was locked with Voldemort's
and I came out of your wand

And I asked you to take my body back to my dad
sadly I didn't think to say
hey Harry keep your hands off Cho Chang

about

Percy and the Prefects Norman, Oklahoma

You didn't know Percy Weasley, Lucius Malfoy, and Remus Lupin were in a Wizard Rock band together?

It all started when Percy found an old portrait of Cedric Diggory. Together they started the band Percy and the Prefects.

Cedric's portrait had other dreams to pursue, so Percy found Lucius and Remus to complete the band.

Past Prefects:
Tom Riddle, Albus Dumbledore, Horace Slughorn ... more

When The War Came
by Avery Marshall

supported by 9 fans who also own “Lonely Valentine's (Because I'm Dead)”

A gorgeous second album that holds up well to the high standard set by the first. The sweet love songs are back, along with an ode to Ron Weasley, a gorgeous metawrock song (and I'm not usually a big fan of metawrock), a couple of spiritual successors to songs from the debut album and one of my favourite DH Chapter 34 songs ever, among other gems. The fact that Avery is a songwriting genius cannot be understated. yourwizardrockresource

How Airplanes Fly

The moment I heard 'Forget the Girl' on a mix years ago, I fell in love, and I was so delighted to find more music by the same band. Avery's lyrics are a standout in the world of wizard rock, and I don't say this lightly. His grasp of characters and the heartfelt, poetic songwriting and delivery are second to none. I adore songs about canon relationships that give me new insights, and this album does that so well. yourwizardrockresource
