You might be startled by the lion’s loud roar
But don’t worry - it’s only that Gryffindor
It was so sudden that you fell out of your nest
Just get up, arrange your feathers, and straighten your crest
He may be put off by all your wordplay and wit
If you make it a game, he might egg you on a bit
The hunt is on, claws and paws, what a majestic king
He can’t resist when a pretty bird sings
Getting courage to do something
Observe while preening your wings
You’ve got time to spare, oh
Hop into his lair
And make him your mane man
Show him your wingspan
He’s picked up your scent
The Ravenclaw knows what’s meant
To be the golden pair,
By Ravendor you swear
These days they both live among the flowers and trees
Together still learning, always such chivalry
Adventures, exploring - the Gryffinclaw life now
You hear the bird’s coo and the lion’s meow
