Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas.

Ho, ho, ho.

[Molly] Here we go.

Daddy's back.

Sit down, everybody.

Sit down.

That's it.

Now, presents!

[Arthur] And a nice big box for Ron.

[Molly] Big box for you. And, um...

Oh, Fred and George.

Come on, open up.

I want to see your faces.

[Arthur] Yes.

[Molly] Try it on.

[Ginny] Thanks, Mum. It's perfect.

Just what he wanted, actually.

Thanks, Mum.

Thanks, Mum, it's wicked.

[Molly] Come on then, everybody.

Let's clear this away.

Ooh! Harry. Harry.

There you are.

Happy Christmas.

Thank you!

Lovely to have you with us.

Thank you.

[Molly] Now, Daddy.

Pass that to Daddy.

[Arthur] Thank you.

[Molly] Is everybody good?

[Arthur] Toast!

[Molly] Fred, George?

Hermione, make sure your mug is —

[Arthur] A Christmas toast!

To Mr Harry Potter.

Without whom,

I would not be here.

Harry.

[All] Harry.

Harry.

[Arthur] Oh, that is delicious.

I'll be needing some more of that.

I can't understand

why you don't want to wear it, Ronald.

Because I look like a

bloody idiot, that's why.

No more than usual, Ronald.

I don't know why you don't

trust your mother's taste more.

Nasty brat,

standing there as bold as brass.

Harry Potter.

The boy who stopped the Dark Lord.

Friend of Mudbloods

and blood traitors, alike.

If my poor mistress —

Kreacher!

That's enough of your bile.

Away with you!

Of course, master.

Kreacher lives to serve

the noble house of Black.

Sorry about that.

He never was very pleasant,

even when I was a boy.

Not to me, anyway.

What? You grew up here?

This was my parents' house.

I offered it to Dumbledore

as headquarters for the Order.

About the only useful thing

I've been able to do.

This is the Black family tree.

My deranged cousin.

I hated the lot of them.

My parents with their pure-blood mania.

My mother did that after I ran away.

Charming woman.

I was 16.

Where did you go?

Your dad's.

I was always welcome at the Potters's.

I see him so much in you, Harry.

You are so very much alike.

I'm not so sure.

Sirius, when I was...

When I saw Mr Weasley attacked,

I wasn't just watching.

I was the snake.

And, afterwards in Dumbledore's office,

there was a moment when I —

I wanted to...

This connection between me and Voldemort,

what if the reason for it

is that I am becoming more like him?

I just feel so angry.

All the time.

And...

What if, after everything

that I've been through,

something's gone wrong

inside me?

What if I'm becoming bad?

I want you to listen to me

very carefully, Harry.

You're not a bad person.

You're a very good person

who bad things have happened to.

You understand?

Besides,

the world isn't split into

good people and Death Eaters.

We've all got both light

and dark inside of us.

What matters is the part

we choose to act on.

That's who we really are.

Harry, time to go.

When all this is over,

we'll be a proper family.

You'll see.
