His eyes are as gray as an inkblot,
People say he's cold, but none of them know
His love for Dark Arts is so hot.

But I wish he'd use that tongue on me.
He's Slytherin's Heir, but I don't really care,
I wish he would petrify me.”

“Yes. Exactly. I am a Malfoy. And you're not. You're not- you're not supposed to act like this. How could you be cruel like that?" Draco blurted, without a clue what he was saying anymore. "You're supposed to be better!"

"Because you're Harry Potter!"

You. Potter, you're supposed to be good and kind and do the right thing and not look down on people, that's your whole thing, isn't it, that's what makes you important!

“Up in the Chamber where the secrets are stored
The Boy Who Lived raised the Sword of Gryffindor!
A green-eyed hero so stalwart and stout
He held it true, he drove it quick!
He drove it up into the mouth
And Harry Potter slayed the Basilisk!

So if you didn't know, he slayed a Basilisk
He'll tell you twelve more times if you forget the jist.
If you're Ravenclaw Seeker, he'll yell it till he spits
Though the poor, poor girl might rather he just quit.
But if you fancy, Potter, I'm ready for the risk
Raise that Gryffindor Sword at me, even if...
You're that Chosen Potter, who slayed a Basilisk!”
