Author's Note: Alright,
alright, I'll admit it - I've been neglecting my authorly duties and haven't
been posting anything lately, but seriously, can you really blame me?
Oh, fine, blame me if you must, but at least believe me when I say that
this little ditty was written quite a while ago. I just haven't had
the time to post it. Umm . . . anyway, my version here of New
York State of Mind is singable, I suppose, but I might end up revising
it anyway, because it didn't turn out how I had planned it would.
For that, I am sorry. But now, on to insert drumroll here>>
the song!

I just want to get away
Go on holiday and never come back
Apparate to the Three Broomsticks
Or the Shrieking Shack
Soon I'm leaving for King's Cross
Between platforms ten and nine
I'm in a Hogwarts state of mind
I'm fed up with the Dursleys
With their Muggle ways and their hate
for me
If only I could leave and finally be
free
But soon I will be leavin'
And then once I'm there, it's all fine
I'm in a Hogwarts state of mind
It's not so easy living on Privet
Far away from those familiar walls
But now I think I should be getting
back
Magic's fun and adventure calls
It comes down to September first
It's not for the worst - got my wand
and broom
Don't care if it's Potions class, or
the common room
I just have to get there
Leave them Dursleys behind
I'm in a Hogwarts state of mind
It's not so easy living on Privet
Far away from those familiar walls
But now I think I should be getting
back
Magic's fun and adventure calls
It comes down to September first
It's not for the worst - got my wand
and broom
Don't care if it's Potions class, or
the common room
I just have to get there
Leave them Dursleys behind
I'm in a Hogwarts state of mind
I'm just leavin' from King's Cross between
platforms ten and nine
I'm in a Hogwarts state of mind

Author's Note: So, was
it really as bad as I'm thinking it is? And yes, I know that Harry
can't Apparate yet. It's just wishful thinking on his part.
Disclaimer: The words are mine,
Harry and co. is not - they belong to J.K. Rowling, just as New York
State of Mind belongs to Billy Joel.
