It is the morning after Dumbledore�s death, and all the students have woken up late. They are proceeding down to breakfast. Most of them have tearstained faces, and all are in shock, as they begin to sing in subdued voices.

ROBIN
WHO HASN�T HEARD ABOUT THIS MURDER?
THE ONE WE TRIED TO DETER
BUT THERE WAS NO WAY IT COULD STOP.

SYLVIA
HIS NAME WAS DUMBLEDORE
THE MAN WE ALL ADORED
THE LOSS IS NOTHING MORE THAN SHOCK.

VARELLA
BENEATH THE ASTRONOMY TOWER
LAY THE MAN WHO COULD EMPOWER
ANY WIZARD, ANY WITCH

ALISSA
WHERE DID HE GO?
WILL WE EVER KNOW?

ARIA
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY
WHY DID HE LEAVE ME?

ALL STUDENTS
MURDER, MURDER
THIS IS THE ONE
MURDER, MURDER
THAT COULDN�T COME
MURDER, MURDER
I THINK HE�S WON
MURDER, MURDER
OVER OUR HEARTS!

MURDER, MURDER
HE WAS THE BEST MAN
MURDER, MURDER
NOW WHO CAN
MURDER, MURDER
HAVE ANY PLAN
MURDER, MURDER
TO STAY ALIVE!

And if, as on instinct, all the students glance at Harry.
