To the tune of Ballad of Booth
The Scene is dark. As lights come up, they reveal DUMBLEDORE sitting in his office, reminiscing about the past.
DUMBLEDORE
Sad how some are evil
Sad how some go bad
Every now and then this school is
Home to one who's mad.
Every now and then a villain is a Hogwarts grad.
Doesn't stop the story
Story's pretty sad.
How our best went mad…
Tom Riddle was a handsome child
Poorer than the poorest of church mice.
His mind was brilliant, his manners mild.
Everybody thought him nice.
What were you thinking, Tommy
Guess we'll never know…
Dark folks thought you were scum
Why'd you become
The Light side's greatest foe?
Great things were in your very palm
You left them all misused
You gave it up and for what, Tom
Revenge for being abused.
Tom threw himself into his studies
Smarter than the rest with Muggle roots
He had more books than he had buddies
Got straight O's on all his NEWTs!
What made you lose it, Tommy?
Knowing what you knew?
Purebloods all scorned your skill
That is until
They learned your will
To rape and kill
And become You-Know-Who!
Your housemates couldn't shake your calm
Their baiting you refused
Are you a light forsaker, Tom
Because of their abuse?
Flashback to a scene in the halls. Young TOM RIDDLE is lying there, bruised, with a crowd of Gryffindors surrounding him. One of them spits on him and they leave.
TOM (spoken)
I'll make them pay, the lousy lot of them. What have those filthy little muggle prodigy ever done for me? Nothing! What have they done to me? Hmm…Firstly..
DUMBLEDORE
Your patience was exhausted, Tom.
TOM (spoken)
My father left me…because my mother…my MOTHER was a witch! Secondly…
DUMBLEDORE
I should have seen the clues…
TOM (spoken)
Secondly, those Muggles who ran the orphanage, they beat me! Beat me like an animal! For being who I am! Thirdly…
DUMBLEDORE
I should've known you'd lost it, Tom…
TOM (spoken)
Thirdly…
DUMBLEDORE
Because you'd been so ruthlessly abused…
TOM (shouted)
THEY'LL PAY! I'll open that chamber and kill them all! I'll live forever! But how?
He suddenly pulls a small black diary out of his book bag and begins writing in it
Dear Diary…
DUMBLEDORE
He said "Damn you, Muggles
You caused me pain!"
TOM (sung)
Tell it all!
DUMBLEDORE
You left all feelings but hatred drained!
TOM
Tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em what they've done!
DUMBLEDORE
He said "Damn you, Muggles,
My robes I'll stain
With blood from your bodies when you're slain!
He said…"
TOM
Hate my life
Fear my name!
Throw at me your grief and blame!
What I'll do is kill the scum who made me suffer!
They will learn their mistake
When their hearts and souls I break
I will open up the chamber
Yes, my great ancestor's chamber.
DUMBLEDORE
He said…
BOTH
Damn you, Muggles, you brainless twats!
TOM
Sing it, sing it! Let 'em hear it, sing!
BOTH
I'll have you quaking, sad and distraught!
TOM
Tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em till they listen!
BOTH
Now rot!
TOM
Tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em how it happened
He collapses on the ground and chokes out the next words
How they treated me like I was cattle
How they laughed when I screamed for aid
Tell them how our race is now black and impure
How us being the same's prattle
How the wizards are far, far more great!
But they're black and impure.
How the Slytherins all live like dirt
How in our pain they revel
How we're all mean and curt
'Cause we always are hurt!
How mere students are treated like devils
By those filthy
(voice starts to go high and cold)
Mudblood loving
Other houses,
(Voice now fully high and cold)
ALWAYS!
Always…
Always…
Always…
No, our race is now black and impure…
During the instrumental interlude, TOM's face becomes pale, his eyes turn red and he stands up to reveal that he has grown taller.
Curse my name
I don't care
Not one of you
Will be spared.
You shall burn in hell's own circle for usurpers!
Let them call me the worst
They might have spared themselves this curse
Had they not
Been averse
To a frightened male halfblood.
They will moan "If we knew then,
We'd have treated him as human!"
They'll see how they're black and impure!
The Diary glows with an unearthly light and we return to DUMBLEDORE's study.
DUMBLEDORE
Tom Riddle was a vengeful person
Wouldn't let his need for vengeance end.
He was ill-treated and it worsened…
What he needed was a friend.
Everyone knows his new name
Riddle, they forget.
He killed so horribly
That we all see
His cruelty.
To think that he
Thought there would be regrets!
The ones who hurt him hate him more
His critics know they're right
Because he caused this second war
His bullies now are fighting the good fight!
Damn you, Riddle
You think import
Is given to bullies of your sort?
Lots of bullies are in your court
They follow Voldemort!
That's the awful story
Why the Dark Lord rose…
He thinks he did what he did
Because life dealt him blows.
Now he causes horrid pain as
His support base grows.
Peace is gone.
And for that…
Damn you, Tom!

The scene is set on the lightning-struck tower. SNAPE is standing with his wand pointed at Dumbledore, and the other death eaters are watching him tensely. The VOICES of VOLDEMORT and the other SLYTHERINS echo in his ears.

Blackout
I'm sitting outside and I hear this crack
It all goes black
My cat came back
He mewed at me
I said "what's happened here, Paws?"
"Oh dear, Paws!"
I ask "what's up, my sweet?"
He ran off, his feet fleet.
I saw some dementors
Right there on the street!
But young Potter's Patronus gave them their defeat.
Which is how Potter stopped her plan!
Then…
When Hogwarts was hers, we hated this snot
She never taught
We just read rot.
She said "Potter's lying"
He said "you crackpot,
I can prove it!"
Which is how Potter stopped her-
I've said I hope Potter drives home in a hearse
But any fool could see that Umbridge was worse
So I helped them treat her in ways quite averse!
Which is how I stopped all her plans!
Lucky he/I was there!
He caused the Dementors all to flee!
That's why Umbridge lost her sanity!
Just lucky he/I was there!
Lest Dumbledore lost more of his OTP!
You think I told lies?
No lies!
Think my squad was spies?
Not spies!
I look at that school…
All scum!
Them I
Despise!
When I was a girl, no friends
The teachers all think me dumb
They all made me sink so low
I felt so glum!
I hated children who are well liked
Which is the reason I wanted to make Potter lose his fame
First I thought I would send Dementors
I'd get his soul in a package
Only he can cast Patronuses
Dementors hate Patronuses
Dementors cannot fight Patronuses!
But I figured I'd get him expelled instead!
NO CHANCE!
He got off!
Told Fudge to sod off!
Dumble blew us away!
Dumbledore, Potter
They're all bloody popular!
You think I care if it's true?
I don't care if it's true
Long as they pay!
This stupid bitch said I was off my head
Because I said
Potter'd be dead.
She fired me and got a centaur instead
Beware, Umbridge!
Rubbish!
She just sat there and preached
Had no clue how to teach
She means Umbridge!
This "headmistress" of ours would have soon been impeached!
She sucked life from this school like a ministry leech!
Lucky we were there
This woman was so incompetent!
She dared to tell me to go get bent!
Just lucky we were there!
To think if I'd let her question Potter!
We saw right away she was bad news!
She was fat and ugly, vital clues!
She almost had Potter kissed and slaughtered!
This shows how she lost it under duress!
Too much bloody stress
Yes,
It gets you depressed!
A closet Death Eater, that's my guess.
NO!
And weren't her policies stupid--
NO DEATH!
You think I ate death?
Not dark!
Not Light!
Not any side!
I'm with the Ministry!
The ministry's my team!
No friends
No beau
I'm not all that smart
No clue!
But I'm not with You-Know-Who!
I'm just with the Ministry!
The Ministry's my team!
And why is there no sympathy?
With the fat girl there's no sympathy!
Only rebels get any damn sympathy!
No fair!
Lucky we were there…
Them I
Despise!
Screw off!
We think we have shown her properly
That she screwed things up quite royally!
Just lucky we were there…
And soon I'll lose my job!
Because Dumbledore…
Damn fool!
Might have lost more…
HALF BREEDS!
YOU DUMB
LYING SCUM!
SHUSH!
Of his O…T…P!
It takes a lot of hate to cast AK
Monstrous
Morbid hate to cast AK
Hatred of mind to make their brain stop
Hatred of blood to make it cold
Hatred of self to make the green and
Turn the air all
Deadly cold.
It takes a lot of hate to cast AK.
AK….
And all you have to do is
Mutter two words quickly
But the strong and the sickly fall!
It'll take a life!
Why should you stay put and not say two words quickly
Not show how two words quickly can take a life!
What a wonder is AK
Lets all the beggars be choosers
First, if you can cast AK
No one thinks that you're a loser.
It's a violent, quick way
Which'll get rid of your foes!
Remove your betters
Break up a friendship
Orphan a child
Make all feel your inner pain!
It makes them listen
To what you have to say
One man is all you have to slay
That you are not a man to laugh about.
It works and…
All you have to do is hiss out two words quickly
Piss on law quite quickly too
By taking a life!
However they may hate,
Mate, use your two words quickly.
Just those two words quickly can
Take a life!
My husband always casts the AK
It's got power
Makes you feel like you're a queen
Being wife to power
Anyway, it just shoots green
But it's AK
You can make a scene
Well with an AK!
If you've got the strength to cast it
What you'll do
Makes you feel strong fast, it
Kill the weak
Works well when it's the weak you seek.
Once you've got it
It gets stomachs all knotted!
It takes control!
And all you have to do is spit those two words quickly
Grit your teeth and quickly snarl!
You can take a life…(take a life)
Simply wish for pain and say those two words quickly
They will kill things quickly and
Make real life
Their worst dreams
That green gleam
Makes 'em scream!
It takes those two words quickly no time to..mmmm…
Take a life!
It takes a lot of hate to cast AK
Monstrous
Vicious hate to cast AK
Hatred of life of filthy Mudbloods
Hatred of scum who all cause what?
Interrace strife!
Mudbloods, Muggles, the scum that make a family tainted!
So you have to use your hate to cast AK!
Just…A….K!
Malfoy
Quite wealthy
Born into the lap of luxury
Totally proud of his family
So he joined the Death Eaters
Killing Muggles for Voldemort
For Voldemort
Tortured and killed with a great panache
Stayed out of jail with his galleon stash
Nothing redeems you like cold hard cash
That was his creed
In the wizard world
Money gets the girl
And whatever you need.
Vicious chap
Dealt all his house elves a vicious slap.
Thought non-purebloods should be seen as crap
So he cast evil curses, wormed his way out of jail
And joined the Death Eaters killing Muggles for Voldemort
For Voldemort!
In court his enemies' hopes were dashed
Said "I made Muggle-borns feel the lash"
"But, the Imperius curse made me brash…
And made them bleed!"
In the wizard world
Money got the girl
And him off with great speed!
Weren't that pleased
DE's
Called him a sleeze
DE's
Voldy agrees
That Malfoy displeased
The DE's!
Slimy rat
On all bloodlines but his own he spat!
Now, that blonde, stupid aristocrat
Will not cast evil curses, worm his way out of jail
Nor will he buy out the dementors
Or escape the prison
'Cause they know he's a Death Eater
Killing Muggles for Voldemort!
For Voldemort!
Thought he was great, but he's snotty trash!
After the order and DE's clashed
He was recaptured and his case rehashed
He won't be freed.
For his evil, bloody, vicious, nasty deeds.
So much for greed!
In the wizard world
When your hate's unfurled
Then your bank account could hold huge pearls
But finance won't get freedom or girls;
Not a thing that you need!
Not a thing that you need!
I am…nothing
You are…cruel and brilliant and great
Master
Tell me, Master, why I deserve your Mark…
I would kill Muggles
I would cast AK
I would kill half the world to serve
My loyalty will not swerve!
I am unworthy of your Mark…
Master, Master
Let me prove worthy of your Mark…
Tell me why I deserve your Mark
Oh, great one…
Let me be closer than a son…
I am…nothing
You are…love and hatred and death
Master
I'll kill those Muggle bastards for your cause!
Let me snarl curses
Let me kill Mudbloods
Let the Dementors take my soul
To serve you is my one goal.
I am unworthy of your Mark
Master, master
I am unswervingly for Dark!
I'll prove myself fit for your Mark
Let me be!
I would destroy all in your way!
I will be ever at your side!
All who attack you I will slay!
I will commit mass genocide!
My Lord, I'd die for you (My Lord, I'd die for you)
I believe
Till your foes all grieve…
I am unworthy of your Mark
Master, Master
Let me be worthy of your Mark!
I'll show you I deserve your Mark,
Without pause
I'll be an asset to your cause…
I'm for…your cause!
I am helping my lord return…
I feel afraid
I am helping my lord return…
I am afraid
I am helping my lord return
Discern how I'm shaking
Discern how I'm shaking.
I am helping my lord return…
Of all the wizards, this one is pathetic
Pete Pettigrew
Shaking and shiv'ring and tot'lly frenetic
Were he a rat, I'd have something to chew…
If he weren't needy,
My master would feed me
This Pete Pettigrew!
Pete Pettigrew…
From what I've heard of him his friends he slew.
Faced with disaster
He ran to my master
But just got more screwed…
Listen, now!
Run with the big boys
Run with the big boys
This battle's rigged, boys
Towards our side.
We can win battles unlike Dumbledore
Killing to win he can't abide.
This'll all change tomorrow
Tomorrow we won't have to hide!
Run with the big boys!
I am helping my lord return…
Pete Pettigrew,
See where betrayal got you?
Lost and afraid
You'll rue the day that Lord Voldemort bought you
And you left us double-crossed and betrayed!
Dark wizards are liars
They use your desires
That's how they persuade
Peter
You fool
You've let yourself become Voldemort's tool.
You will learn later
That no one trusts traitors
I am sure of that
Little rat!
Run with the big boys
Not the weak willed boys
Your job's to kill, boys
So have fun!
This is your job to kill the Muggle-borns!
They will all fear you when you're done!
Wait till you see tomorrow
Tomorrow they won't be so snide!
I could have power
I could be minister!
Run with the big boys!
I am helping my lord return…
Pete Pettigrew
Kept secrets for the Potters…
I am afraid…
Gave them away!
Might have just summoned them both to the slaughter.
Friendship did not lessen Voldemort's sway.
He said "You can follow
Me to Godric's hollow.
Yes, that's where they stay!
Kill your prey!"
Run with the Big boys
Run with the Big boys
This battle's rigged, boys
Towards our…I am helping my Lord return
I am afraid
I am helping my Lord return
I am afraid
I him I will soon be scot free
Until then, he's got me.
I shall help him come back!
I am helping my Lord return!
Run with the big boys
Not with the tough boys
Helping the rough boys
Trips you up!
You can't get success helping Voldemort!
You'll be imprisoned!
Azkaban…
You'll have your soul sucked!
Dementors…
You'll be worse than dead!
Loss of soul!
You could have been safe now!
Yes, I could…
Wait until tomorrow
Tomorrow you'll go for a ride!
I could be free, if not quite the Minister/Now that you'll never get to be Minister
You've learned your lesson!
Run with the big boys!
Not with the evil
And dark side!
I did it because it was wrong for the Mudbloods to rise when purebloods are superior…
I did it to make the fools who hurt me pay and to avenge my persecuted house…
I did it to show my father I didn't care what he thought…
I did it because I loved the Dark Lord deeply…
I did it 'cause I hated popular children…
I did it to show my friends that I was more than just a schlemiel…
I did it because my husband meant more to me than anything…
Slytherin…
I did it because no one cares about blood anymore…
I did it because blood meant more to me than anything…
In Slytherin…
I did it because Potter told us we told lies!
I did it so I'd have a father!
I did it so I'd assure my husband and my family's approval…
Fight for Slytherin!
I did it because he said I could be Minister of Magic!
I did it so they'd suffer the way they made the Slytherins suffer just for who they were!
They cannot beat Slytherin!
I did it so he'd come back and we could go back to killing and terrify the world into submission!
Slytherin!
I did it to laugh in Fudge's face!
You can't beat Slytherin!
Because nothing was good enough for father!
They fall to Slytherin!
Because nothing stopped Dumbledore!
Go Slytherin!
The light side doesn't know shit!
And it didn't make a difference
You were trivial and dumb
And a lot of people don't know who you are!
Yes, you made yourselves all noticed
And well-liked by a sick some
But the wizard world still hates you
And you're still thought of as scum.
And it didn't help the purebloods
And it didn't scare your bullies
And it didn't make them regret
Either partially or fully…
Right, we'll kill 'em all just the same, won't we?
We'd better!
Yes, sir
No, we're never gonna let them live!
Filthy Mudbloods…
Are we?
Yes, sir!
No, we
Plan to avenge all our troubles
Aren't we?
Yes
Forever
Kill them!
Killing's superlative!
Your mission's second-rate
You know Muggle-borns are people too
Goes to show when you hate
You're no better than they are
You can blame it on fate
But the truth is, you caused all of it.
There are strong folks all around you,
Whether Muggle-born or pure
The shy Ravenclaw is published
And the Hufflepuff's an Auror..
Right, we'll kill 'em all just the same, won't we?
Won't we?
Yes, sir!
No, we'll never let the insults lie!
Killing wins!
Will we?
We'd better.
Yes sir!
On the Ministry they cannot ever quite rely.
Can they?
Never!
Kill them all!
They will die!
In the name of vengeance
Vengeance…
Vengeance!
There's another house at the sorting, which is
Sneered at and disliked
By the others.
Slytherin!
In this other house at the sorting, witches,
Wizards all alike
Say we're…
Evil!
Say we're…
Stupid!
They hate us, that's why we strike!
We're ambitious
And what's wrong with that, nothing's wrong,
It's unfair and it's useless
Filled with prejudice!
We are no worse than the others
Who just piss
On our house 'cause of its past!
In their endless dis
There's a point they've missed!
The ones who receive hate from the others!
Foolish scum!
There's another house at the sorting, folks
And here, we demonstrate
That the snubbing
And the taunting
Turn us bad without debate!
Slytherin is thought of badly
But that doesn't make it true
That the members have to turn to the dark side!
When you're taunted, you feel worthless
Well, so what, that's nothing new!
We won't take it!
And the Muggle-borns are people too!
You would have to be weak if you would take it
Yes, revenge is proper, it's your right!
And the Hufflepuff's an Auror!
No, our bullies may not know
All our pain
But they never had to feel it!
They made it real!
You've been scarred…
They made us sob
They took our pride!
But if you want revenge on bullies…
They never knew
The way we feel!
You're no better than they are!
But we win!
You know why I did it?! Because I was jealous of Potter and Black!
Slytherin!
But now you're wrong…
Slytherin!
There's naught you've proved!
Ambition's not a sin!
That Slytherin was never meant to be removed!
Foolish scum!
If you learn…
Gotta make 'em pay!
That's all you need to do!
Right! All you have to do!
And we think it just struck back
At the others!
Foolish scum!
Yes, this other house at the sorting
Has now launched its own attack
If you cannot get acceptance
Then with hate you lay down smack!
You've gotta pay 'em back!
Make 'em pay!
You've gotta get 'em all
Under your sway!
You fight for Slytherin!
Youfight for Slytherin!
Mustn't take it from those foolish scum!
Fight for your revenge! It's your right!
Don't give up the fight!
It's time to exact vengeance! (Foolish scum)
You can fight for Slytherin!
You can always make them pay!
Sure, 'cause Muggle-borns aren't people too!
Take a look, Snape.
Do you know who he is?
He is a Gryffindor, the house where any kid can turn out to be headmaster, the shining house, it shines so bright you have to shield your eyes.
But Slytherin…it's downtrodden.
That entire house leads lives of secret hope for vengeance.
Dumbledore knows that, surprisingly enough for the old fool.
But let me tell you something, there are no lives of secret hope for vengeance here.
Hope for vengeance…yes. But quiet? I don't think so. Not Slytherin.
Slytherin was meant to be a great house! We are the greatest!
You could be the greatest!
You'll be the one who's gonna kill the damn fool and send them all screaming for help! You're the Half-Blood Prince, Severus…now earn your title!
People will hate me.
They did that anyway, Snape.
Imagine knowing you killed the lead champion for Harry James Potter!
Get up the courage!
(sung) His house hurt you…
Please protect my son…
You're unhelpful!
I don't trust you!
Why were you not loyal?
His house hurt you…
I am not your serf…
I don't trust you!
We are laughing at you!
You are suspended!
They're your enemies…
They're beneath you!
Make them pay for what they've done, now
They're still laughing at you!
Make them pay now, Snape!
We don't trust you
They're your enemies
You are a liar
They're still laughing at you
Make them stop…
Utter two words quickly
You can take a…
Avada Kedavra!
I was up in the tow'r
Paralyzed all over
When Professor Snape appeared…
Now Dumbledore is dead.
I remember where I was
Every second of the time
In the tow'r up top…
Now Dumbledore is dead.
I was putting on my makeup
Playing chess
When I heard…
We were working on our homework.
And then…just as everything was looking great.
Whoops, checkmate.
Now Dumbledore is dead.
It was like being hit with AK
And I thought
Though I thought he was immortal…
Dumbledore died.
Now Dumbledore is dead.
Merlin!
I was up in my dorm
Sleeping…
We were reading Quidditch books…
We were commenting on some of the girls' looks.
When DE's
It was Snape
They came bursting in the school.
Snape the teacher…
Out runs Ginny!
I mean, he was happy!
She was cursing!
He was cursing-
It'll never be the same now…
And I state…
Now Dumbledore is dead.
Damn you, fate.
Because Dumbledore was doing something great.
We're all thinking…
He made everyone feel like they were first rate!
Like my father…
Like my dad!
Like my mother…Molly Weasley…
We all cried!
'Cause Dumbledore died…
Now Dumbledore does not exist.
Now Dumbledore is beaten.
Now Dumbledore is dead.
Dumbledore died…
I with him at the time…
Snape has just beat our leading man
I'd been winning…
I was tired…
Dumbledore died…
I just know Old Snape was gleeful…
We can't win, but he can…
We will never feel the same way…
Dumbledore lost…
So much for the order….
Dumbledore met his final end
Slytherin beat us…
No chance for our side
Dumbledore has to be avenged.
We lost our boss…
And we wonder
We are frightened
Of what's coming
Will they start attacking?
Made us doubt our ev'ry hope!
Will this just mean they'll kill us?
We are frightened of the future…
Or with their hate instill us?
He was me
He was us…
We can't be at their mercy…
All the Phoenix order's screwed now…
Makes us all feel like we're crud…
What we are, what we are meant for…
Losing to hateful purebloods…
We feel dead…
Voldemort's strong
And I thought
And I thought to myself
And I thought
And I thought
I kept thinking
Snape has complied…
Our hopes are fried…
We don't know if our cause was wrong
But the fight went on for so long…
Make it work out…
Please!
Say someone lied…
The DE's must suffer a loss
We must get their boss!
Voldemort is hard to target…
We are truly hopeless
Just so truly hopeless…
'Cause Dumbledore-
NO!
Everybody's got the wand to cause havoc…
As you see
It's rather easy to tell…
That if your just use your head
You can zap those Muggles dead
Everybody's got the wand to wreak hell!
Everybody's got the wand to get power
If you want to get power…
Even if it comes from the darkest spells…
The darkest spells…
Get some guts and cause some strife…
Take control and take a life!
Everybody's got the wand to wreak hell!
Be bloody!
If it seems like it's fair…
Get more power!
Make 'em cower!
Be bloody!
If it makes someone care!
Laugh and glower!
Pluck 'em like a flower!
Be bloody!
At least…
Well, we admit that sucks
But we guess when you're stuck…
Make the most of your luck!
Your luck!
Your luck!
Your luck!
Everybody's got the wand to cast curses!
Not AK but something equally fell…
Equally fell….
Don't let anyone be spared
Get your enemies all scared
Use dark magic, don't despair
And wreak hell!
Everybody's got the wand...to wreak hell!
Avada Kedavra!
