about

I've claimed Sprout and Hooch have been together for 30 years. Hear their love story from Rolanda Hooch's point of view.

lyrics

It was the spring, '73
I had busted up my knee
And I couldn't play competitively

Came to teach and you were there
With that flyaway hair
At first your beauty wasn't something I could see

Pomona, no one would understand
Why a former quidditch star
Would love a girl with dirty hands

Pomona
But your ivy climbed my walls
Till they crack and fall and let the light in
Till they crack and fall and let the light in

It was winter '74
I was homesick and bored
Stalking the grounds, knee-deep in snow

You invited me in
For some hot tea, then
In your greenhouse where the flowers still grow
And you rubbed my cold hands and your eyes met mine
And I flew through all stretches of space and time

When you poured us the tea
I could see through the steam
You were smiling

She's got magic

Pomona, no one would understand
Why a former quidditch star
Would love a girl with dirty hands

Pomona
But your ivy climbed my walls
Till they crack and fall and let the light in

She's got magic hands

It was spring '75
We were together all the time
In your greenhouse or my tower room

You gave me asphodel vines
And each time they died
You'd always bring them back in bloom

Pomona, no one could understand
Why a former quidditch star
Would love a girl with dirty hands

Pomona
But your ivy climbed my walls
Till they crack and fall and let the light in
Till they crack and fall and let the light in
