We're gonna be late again
We've never made a class on time
But how can we make it through
When the stairway won't align
In our years at Hogwarts
We've witnessed many things go wrong
Every year it's something different
Another demon in the dungeons
Here we are waiting
Waiting for the stairs to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting for the stairs to change
Defence against the dark arts
Forever Dumbledore's scourge
Every year another new teacher
Why not just feed them to Fluffy
And be done
Harry and Hermoine
Sneak off set to do the deed
And what's in store for Ron
Yes, you guessed it, another exploding wand
Here we are waiting
Waiting for the stairs to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting for the stairs to change
Hagrid's playing Quidditch
Now that's a sight to see
I'll spare you the nasty details
Of where he caught the snitch
We're still waiting
Waiting for the stairs to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting for the stairs to change

Thanks so much for the comment. I hope you get more entries. As much as I would love the points that go with it, I would rather win a contest by my entries content rather than it seems it may be here - by default. Praying for at least some competition.
