The Battle of Hogwarts. 1999

[KINGSLEY]

Monsieur Malfoy

[MALFOY]

Monsieur Kingsley

[KINGSLEY]

In command where you belong

[MALFOY]

How you say, no sweat

We're finally on the field. 

We've had quite a run

[KINGSLEY]

Death Eaters:

[MALFOY/KINGSLEY]

We'll take them down

[MALFOY]

So what happens if we win?

[KINGSLEY]

I go back to France

I'll bring justice and safety to my people 

if I'm given the chance

[MALFOY]

We'll be with you if you need us

[KINGSLEY]

Go lead your men

[MALFOY]

See you on the other side

[KINGSLEY]

'Til we meet again, let's go!

[ENSEMBLE]

I am not throwin' away my shot!

I am not throwin' away my shot!

Hey yo, I'm just like the Order, 

I'm young, cunning and hungry

And I'm not throwin' away my shot!

I am not throwin' away my shot!

[MALFOY]

'Til the world turns upside down...

[ENSEMBLE]

'Til the world turns upside down!

[MALFOY]

I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory

This is where it gets me: on my feet

The enemy ahead of me

If this is the end of me, 

at least I have a friend with me

Wand in my hand, a command, and my men with me

Then I remember my Toria's expecting me...

Not only that, my Toria's expecting

We gotta go, gotta get the job done

Gotta repair our nation, gotta meet my son!

Turn off the light on your wands!

[ENSEMBLE]

What?

[MALFOY]

Turn off the light on your wands!

[ENSEMBLE]

What?

[MALFOY]

We move under cover and we move as one

Through the night, we have one shot to live another day

We cannot let a stray wand light give us away

We will fight up close, seize the moment and stay in it

It's either that or meet the business end of a wand's light

The code word is 'Delacour,' dig me?

[ENSEMBLE]

Delacour!

[MALFOY]

You have your orders now, go, man, go!

And so the Order's true rebellion begins

With my friends all scattered to the winds

Neville, my bo, is in London, redefining brav'ry

[MALFOY/NEVILLE]

We'll never be free 

until we end discrimination!

[MALFOY]

When we finally drive the Death Eaters away

Kingsley and the French are there waiting-

[MALFOY/KINGSLEY]

In Hogsmeade!

[MALFOY]

How did we know that this plan would work?

We had a spy on the inside. That's right

[MALFOY/COMPANY]

Theodore Nott!

[THEO]

A potioneer spyin' on the Voldemort's Ministry!

I take their orders, information and then I smuggle it

[COMPANY]

Up

[THEO]

To my blood brother's revolutionary group

I'm runnin' with the Order and I am lovin' it!

See, that's what happens when you up against the ruffians

We in the shit now, somebody gotta shovel it!

Theodore Nott, I need no introduction

When you knock me down I get the fuck back up again!

[COMPANY]

Left! Right! Hold!

Go!

What! What! What!

[MALFOY]

After a day of fighting, 

Harry in his glory stands on a parapet

[KINGSLEY]

We lower our wands as he strikes down Voldemort

[THEO]

And just like that, it's over. 

We tend to our wounded, 

we count our dead

[NEVILLE]

Rebels and civilians wonder alike 

if this really means freedom

[McGONAGALL]

Not. Yet.

[MALFOY]

We negotiate the terms of surrender

I see Minerva McGonagall smile

We escort their men out of Hogwarts

They stagger to Azkaban in single file

Thousands of people flood the streets

There are screams and fireworks exploding

And as our fallen foes retreat

I hear the wailing song they're singing...

[ALL MEN]

The world turned upside down

[FULL COMPANY]

The world turned upside down

The world turned upside down

The world turned upside down

Down down, down, down

[KINGSLEY]

Freedom for England, 

freedom for muggleborns!

[COMPANY] 

Down, down, down

[MALFOY]

Gotta repair our nation

Gotta meet my son

[COMPANY] 

Down, down, down

[THEO]

We won!

[KINGSLEY]

We won!

[THEO/KINGSLEY/NEVILLE]

We won!

[THEO/KINGSLEY/NEVILLE/MALFOY/MCGONAGALL]

We won!
