[POTTER]
                              
How does Malfoy
                              
An arrogant
                              
Death Eater, orphan
                              
Slytherin, adulterer
                              
Somehow endorse
                              
Ronald Weasley, 
                              
his enemy
                              
A man he's despised since the beginning
                              
Just to keep me from winning?
                              
I wanna be in the room where it happens-
                              
[POTTER AND COMPANY]
                              
The room where it happens
                              
The room where it happens
                              
[POTTER]
                              
You've kept me from-
                              
[POTTER AND COMPANY]
                              
The room where it happens
                              
[POTTER]
                              
For the last time
                              


                              
Dear Draco:
                              
I am slow to anger
                              
But I toe the line
                              
As I reckon with the effects
                              
Of your life on mine
                              
I look back on where I failed
                              
And in every place I checked
                              
The only common thread 
                              
has been your disrespect
                              
Now you call me "a coward,"
                              
And a "hypocritical disgrace,"
                              
If you've got something to say
                              
Name a time and place
                              
Face to face
                              
I have the honor to be 
                              
Your Obedient Servant

Mr. Chosen One:
                              
I am not the reason no one trusts you
                              
No one knows what you believe
                              
I will not equivocate on my opinion
                              
I have always worn it on my sleeve
                              
Even if I said what you think I said
                              
You would need to cite 
                              
a more specific grievance
                              
Here's an itemized list of 
                              
thirty years of your hypocrisy
                              
[POTTER]
                              
Sweet Merlin
                              
[MALFOY]
                              
Hey, I have not been shy
                              
I am just a guy 
                              
in the public eye
                              
Tryin' to do my best for our republic
                              
I don't wanna fight
                              
But I won't apologize for 
                              
doing what's right
                              
I have the honor to be 
                              
Your Obedient Servant

Careful how you proceed, good man
                              
Intemperate indeed, good man
                              
Answer for the accusations 
                              
I lay at your feet or
                              
Prepare to bleed, good man
                              
[MALFOY]
                              
Potter, your grievance is legitimate
                              
I stand by what I said, 
                              
every bit of it
                              
You refuse stand up for people like us
                              
You hide, it's what you do
                              
I can't apologize because it's true
                              
[POTTER]
                              
Then stand, Draco

FUN FACT #6 or 7 - These past two songs were two of my faves, especially the sass Hamilton puts down.
