Potions Yesterday
Potions and Pettiness: Unveiling the True Colors
Lyrics
You messed up in Potions Yesterday
You made a mistake in Potions class the day before.
But everyone thinks you're really great
Despite your error, people generally have a positive opinion of you.
'Cept Snape, 'cept Snape, 'cept Snape and me
Except for Snape and the speaker (Draco), who both hold a negative view of you.
Cause we see you for what you really are
The speaker and Snape see through a facade, recognizing your true nature.
A stupid little dork with a stupid dorky scare
You are portrayed as a foolish and socially awkward person with a silly fear.
And it's ok, it's really great
The speaker sarcastically expresses approval of your perceived shortcomings.
Cause I hate you and so does Snape
The speaker and Snape share a common disdain for you.
You crashed into the Whomping Willow tree
You had a mishap with the Whomping Willow but faced no severe consequences from others.
But no one else would kick you out and make you history
No one else expelled you, except for Snape, who might have done so.
Except for Snape
Snape is consistent in enforcing rules, even if others are lenient.
Cause rules are rules no matter who you are
The speaker emphasizes the importance of rules, highlighting your breach (flying car incident).
And you're the stupid jerk who wrecked a flying car
You are criticized for recklessly damaging a flying car, reinforcing Snape's disapproval.
But it's ok, it's really great
The speaker ironically praises the situation, underscoring their dislike for you.
Cause I hate you and so does Snape
The speaker and Snape share a continued dislike for you despite the circumstances.
We were teamed up in dueling class
You were partners in dueling class, and the speaker implies they outperformed you.
And no one else believed that I would knock you on your bum
No one expected the speaker to succeed except Snape, who had confidence in their abilities.
Except for Snape, except for Snape
Snape, despite disliking you, accurately predicted the speaker's success in dueling.
We didn't know you talked to snakes
An additional revelation about your ability to communicate with snakes.
Which worked out alright in the end
Despite the previous dislike, the ability to talk to snakes turned out to be advantageous.
Now everyone is thinking you're the heir of Slytherin
Your reputation is now linked to being the heir of Slytherin, which is viewed positively.
And it's ok, it's really great
The speaker sarcastically expresses approval, acknowledging the changed perception.
Cause I hate you and now so does everyone else
Despite the changed perception, the speaker and now everyone else still dislike you.
