lyrics

That house, it was stifling me
But now I'm finally, finally free
I'm the white sheep of the Black family

Never a day without a pureblood lecture
From my mum, I'd really like to hex her
I'm shunned for being a Gryffindor
Regulus won't talk to me anymore

We're surrounded by Dark Arts objects
With all sorts of sinister effects
They'd call Remus a Dark Creature
But what, may I ask, is Kreacher?

That house, it was stifling me
But now I'm finally, finally free
I'm the white sheep of the Black family

I was happy to receive a really big portion
Of Great-Uncle Alphard's substantial fortune
Along with my cousin Andi
We've been kicked off the family tree

Summers I stay with James and his parents
They're really awesome and don't charge me rent
I'm a seventh year, but after that
Remus and I are gonna share a flat

That house, it was stifling me
But now I'm finally, finally free
I'm the white sheep of the Black family

The war seems won, but at what cost
Friends and freedom, both were lost
The world's got a false sense of win
Azkaban is closing in

Escape comes easy this time around
What an irony of life I've found
Trapped in this house once again
But I'll protect Harry 'till the end.

This is an old fave and I will never not love StarKid's music. Also Joe and Tyler as Snape and Lucius singing Guys Like Potter just brings me so much joy Maria
