Hamilton - The Drarry Musical

Draco Malfoy

(By Lin-Manuel Miranda, his holiness )

[POTTER]

How does a Slytherin, orphan, son of a Death Eater and a

Killer, dropped in the middle of a

Sticky spot in the Hogwarts by his father

To be a traitor and killer, but he turned the table,

And becomes a hero and a scholar

[NEVILLE]

The disinherited aristocrat now without a father 

Got a lot farther by working a lot harder

By being a lot smarter

By being a self-starter

By seventeen, they placed him in charge of 

a resupply point

[WEASLEY]

And every day while Order members were being slaughtered and captured

He struggled against his reputation and kept his guard up

Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of

The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter

[GRANGER]

Then Voldemort came, and devastation reigned

Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain

Put a quill to his temple, connected it to his brain

And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain,

to the Daily Prophet against Voldemort

[POTTER]

Well, the word got around, they said, "This kid is insane, man"

Took up a call just to send him to the front

"Find your place, don't forget from whence you came, but

The world is gonna know your name. What's your name, man?"

[MALFOY]

Draco Malfoy

My name is Draco Malfoy

And there's a million things I haven't done

But just you wait, just you wait...

[TORIA]

When he was seventeen his father split, full of him, debt-ridden

Two months later, see Draco with his mother bed-ridden

Half-dead sittin' in her own blood, the scent thick

[COMPANY]

Draco escaped, but his mother went quick

[McGONAGALL]

Moved in with a cousin, the cousin kicked him out

Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside

A voice saying

[COMPANY]

"You gotta fend for yourself." 

"Draco, you gotta fend for yourself."

He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf

[POTTER]

There would have been nothin' left to do

For someone less astute

He woulda been dead or destitute

Without a cent of restitution

Started workin', clerkin' for his former teacher

Tradin' potions and supplies and all the things he can't afford

Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on

Plannin' for the future, see him now as he stands on

The grounds held by the Order

In Hogwarts, you can be a new man

[COMPANY]

In Hogwarts you can

Be a new man-

In Hogwarts you can

Be a new man-

[COMPANY]

Scammin'

Plannin'

Oooh...

[MALFOY]

Just you wait!

Just you wait!

[COMPANY]

In Hogwarts you can be a new man-

[WOMEN]  In Hogwarts-

[MEN] Hogwarts-

[MALFOY]

Just you wait!

[COMPANY]

Draco Malfoy

We are waiting in the wings for you

You could never back down

You never learned to take your time!

Oh, Draco Malfoy

When England sings for you

Will they know what you overcame?

Will they know you rewrote the game?

The world will never be the same, oh

[POTTER]

He's walking toward the Order's recruit lines now

See if you can spot him

Another Death Eater

Comin' up from the bottom

His enemies destroyed his rep

England forgot him

[COMPANY]

Draco Malfoy

Waiting in the wings for you

You never learned to take your time!

Oh, Draco Malfoy

Draco Malfoy...

England sings for you

Will they know what you overcame?

Will they know you rewrote the game?

The world will never be the same, oh

[MEN] Just you wait

[COMPANY] 

Just you wait

[THEO/KINGSLEY] 

We fought with him

[NEVILLE] 

Me? I died for him

[McGONAGALL] 

Me? I trusted him

[TORIA/DAPHNE/BLAISE/POTTER] 

Me? I loved him

[POTTER]

And me? I'm the damn fool that shot him

[COMPANY]

There's a million things I haven't done

But just you wait!

[POTTER]

What's your name, man?

[COMPANY] 

Draco Malfoy!
