Brisk autumn mornings and green Quidditch pitches
Quaffles and bludgers and small golden snitches
Cheers from the crowd who are calling my name
These are all part of my favorite game
The chasers will score if the keepers don't block
Beaters herd bludgers and Seekers must stalk
The fast flying snitches that they have to tame
If they want to win at my favorite game
Lions in scarlet and ravens in true blue
Badgers in yellow, and emerald green snakes, too
These are the colors, if I must explain,
That we wear at Hogwarts in my favorite game
When I take tests
When I lose points
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite game
And then I don't feel so bad
