There are many stories in the wizarding world. Probably the biggest is that of Harry James Potter, the boy who lived and conquered the dark lord.

However, Harry's story was not the only central one happening. Whilst he and his friends were struggling year after year, other students experienced their own problems and triumphs. Each student is unique, they all have their past, present and future.

It's time to take a turn in the magical world that wasn't in the original books.

The Quidditch Stadium appears to be empty, so I set up the box for the singer to stand on.
There isn't anyone here yet, so you know what? I think I'll sing...
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Jed Rhodes, and this is caravan of love, originally by the housemartins."
I take a breath.

"Are you ready
Are you ready
Are you ready
Are you ready
Are you ready for the time of your life
It's time to stand up and fight
It's alright
It's alright
Hand in hand we take a caravan to the mother land
One by one we gonna stand up with pride
One that can't be denied
Stand up
Stand up
From the highest mountain, valley low
We'll join together with hearts of gold
Now the children of the world can see
This is a better place for us to be
The place in which we were born
So neglected and torn apart

Every woman every man
Join the caravan of love
Stand up stand up
Stand up
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love
Stand up stand up
Stand up

I'm your brother
I'm your brother don't you know
She's my sister
She's my sister don't you know

We'll be living in a world of peace
And the day when everyone is free
We'll bring the young and the old
Won't you let your love flow, from your heart

Every woman every man
Join the caravan of love
Stand up stand up
Stand up
Every body take a stand
Join the caravan of love
Stand up stand up
Stand up

I'm your brother
I'm your brother don't you know
She's my sister
She's my sister don't you know

So are you ready
Are you ready
Are you ready
Are you ready
You better get ready
You better get ready
You better get ready
You better get ready..."

I finish, and wait for the audience (if any) reaction.
But there is no audience. On well, if I cared then I wouldn't have come out here.

I'll sing another. Alone, originally by the Beautiful South. It's a beautiful day, the Sun shines, and I'm totally alone...

"Like the contents of your handbag
You don't know why it's there
People ask you where you're heading
You just answer "anywhere"

We don't mean to be this vague
It just happens that we are
No-one asked us to elaborate
We just shrug our shoulders and be

And like the stories that just happened
No-one thought of, no-one planned
We could have ruled, we could have conquered
Then we could have been a man

We could be ex-husband
We could be ex-wife
But no-one looks at the menu in a greasy spoon life

Alone, alone
Half an hour is seven hours
One day is several months
Alone, alone
A month is a calendar
A year can be a decade spent
Alone

He knows "hello" in eighteen languages
"I love you" in only one
By the time he's got his phrase-book
The chance is usually gone

And we feel ourselves quite prepared
But quite prepared for what
We always took the lead
Before we actually knew the plot

And you can tell where we've been shopping
By the bags beneath our eyes
Make-up shoulders burden
But the smile never lies

We could be ex-husband
We could be ex-wife
But no-one looks at the menu in a greasy spoon life

Alone, alone
Half an hour is seven hours
One day is several months
Alone, alone
A month is a calendar
A year can be a decade spent
Alone

So empty at the airport
You don't set off the doors
We used to feel like chorus girls
And now we feel like whores

Hearts built like reservoirs
Words built like dams
Thoughts built like juggernauts
Our actions built like prams

And when the wind blows into our face
We should be warmer and not colder
Well, what price the charges
On this cargo that we shoulder

We could be ex-husband
We could be ex-wife
But no-one looks at the menu in a greasy spoon life

Alone, alone
Half an hour is seven hours
One day is several months
Alone, alone
A month is a calendar
A year can be a decade spent
Alone

And we only smoke when bored
So we do two packs a day
And we've lost the difference
Between bored and lonely anyway...

Alone, alone...

Alone, alone...

Alone, alone...

I run into the quidditch stadium after hearing Jed's singing. Dare I do it? I had been bet I wouldn't do it, I needed to prove it to them... I will do it! I take a deep breath, regretfully seeing what I am about to do. I have to do it... as much as I hate to. I pull out my wand and aim it at Jed.
"Muffliato!" I say, so no-one can hear the singing "Levicorpus!"
His body flew into the air and stare at him mournfully. I have the fake muggle poo that he loves so much, kind of ironic.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" I yell and direct the poo over to him and it lands on him and the area around him. I cancel my levicorpus spell and run out of the stadium in deep regret. Still at least that's 5 galleons better off in my pocket.

"Edwin... O'Cookmate." I say, rather annoyed. But I get up, succesfully vanish the fake poop, and start again. My signature song, just to show them all.

"It's not easy having yourself a good time
Greasing up those bets and betters
Watching out they don't four-letter
I can kiss you both at the same time
Smells-like something I've forgotten
Curled up died and now it's rotten

I'm not a gangster tonight
Don't want to be a bad guy
I'm just a loner baby
And now you're gotten in my way

I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride

It's a pain convincing people to like you
If I stop now call me a quitter
If lies were cats you'd be a litter
Pleasing everyone isn't like you
Dancing jigs until I'm crippled
Slug ten drinks I won't get pickled

I've got to hand it to you
You've played by all the same rules
It takes the truth to fool me
And now you've made me angry

I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride

Oh I could throw you in the lake
Or feed you poisoned birthday cake
I wont deny I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
Oh I could bury you alive
But you might crawl out with a knife
And kill me when I'm sleeping
That's why

I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride"

"O.o Ohkay then.... You said Edwin??? A GRIFFENDOR?????? Geesh.... Weirdo..... Just because he didn't want to sing, doesn't mean he needs to pile you with fake poo..... Uhm.... I'm gonna leave now."

I smile. this hasn't been a total disaster after all.
"Ok, you do that. And now", I say to the non-existent audience, "a song for a very special lady. I don't know who she is, but I will when I see her."

"I HAVE ROAMED ABOUT THIS EARTH
WITH JUST A SUITCASE IN MY HAND
AND I'VE MET SOME BUG-EYED JOES
I'VE MET THE BLESSED I'VE MET THE DAMNED.

BUT OF ALL THE STRANGE STRANGE CREATURES
FROM THE AIR, THE SEA AND LAND,
OH MY GIRL, MY GIRL, MY PRECIOUS GIRL,
I LOVE YOU, YOU UNDERSTAND.

SO REEL ME IN MY PRECIOUS GIRL,
COME ON TAKE ME HOME.
CAUSE MY BODY'S TIRED OF TRAVELLIN'
AND MY HEART DON'T WISH TO ROAM.

WELL I HAVE WANDERED, I HAVE RAMBLED,
I HAVE CROSSED THE STRATOSPHERE,
AND I'VE SEEN A MESS OF PROBLEMS
THAT I LONG TO DISSAPPEAR.

NOW ALL I HAVE'S THIS ANGUISHED HEART,
WHICH YOU HAVE BANISHED TOO.
OH MY GIRL, MY GIRL, MY PRECIOUS GIRL
JUST WHAT IS THIS MAN TO DO?

SO REEL ME IN, MY PRECIOUS GIRL,
COME ON TAKE ME HOME.
CAUSE MY BODY'S TIRED OF TRAVELLIN',
AND MY HEART DON'T WISH TO ROAM.

WELL YOU TOOK ME IN,
YOU STOLE MY HEARTS,
I CANNOT ROAM NO MORE.
CAUSE LOVE IT STAYS WITHIN YOU,
IT DOESN'T WASH UPON A SHORE.

OH A FIGHTING MAN FORGETS EACH NIGHT
EACH NIGHT, EACH NOON, EACH FALL (?)
OH BUT A FIGHTING MAN CANNOT FORGET
WHY HIS LOVE DON'T ROAM NO MORE.

SO REEL ME IN, MY PRECIOUS GIRL,
COME ON TAKE ME HOME,
CAUSE MY BODY'S TIRED OF TRAVELLIN,
AND MY HEART DON'T WISH TO ROAM.

YEAH, WALK WITH ME WITH ME, MY LOVE, MY LOVE
WALK TALL WALK PROUD WALK MORE
CAUSE YOU KNOW YOU, KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW,
YOU ARE MY SHINING STAR
CAUSE YOU KNOW YOU, KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW,
YOU ARE MY SHINING STAR!"

SO REEL ME IN, MY PRECIOUS GIRL,
COME ON TAKE ME HOME,
CAUSE MY BODY'S TIRED OF TRAVELLIN,
AND MY HEART DON'T WISH TO ROAM.

YEAH, REEL ME IN, MY PRECIOUS GIRL,
COME ON TAKE ME HOME,
CAUSE MY BODY'S TIRED OF TRAVELLIN,
AND MY HEART DON'T WISH TO ROAM."
