I found this on the JKR Official site. It's a song that Nearly Headless Nick was supposed to sing in the second book, but it was cut.



It was a mistake any wizard could make
Who was tired and caught on the hop
One piffling error,
And then, to my terror,
I found myself facing the chop.
Alas for the eve
When I met Lady Grieve
A-strolling the park in the dusk!
She was of the belief
I could straighten her teeth
Next moment she’d sprouted a tusk.
I cried through the night
That I’d soon put her right
But the process of justice was lax;
They’d brought out the block,
Though they’d mislaid the rock
Where they usually sharpened the axe.
Next morning at dawn
With a face most forlorn
The priest said try not to cry
You can come just like that,
No, you won’t need a hat.
And I knew that my end must be nigh.
The man in the mask
Who would have the sad task
Of cleaving my head from my neck
Said, Nick if you please
Will you get to your knees,
And I turned to a gibbering wreck.
This may sting a bit
Said the cack-handed twit
As he swung the axe up in the air
But oh the blunt blade!
No difference it made,
My head was still definitely there.
The axeman he hacked
And he whacked and he thwacked,
Won’t be too long, he assured me,
But quick it was not,
And the bone-headed clot
Took forty-four goes till he floored me
And so I was dead,
But my faithful old head
It never saw fit to desert me
It still lingers on,
That’s the end of my song
And now, please applaud, or you’ll hurt me.

Ok, all I can say is this is a clever rhyming song but...EWWWW!!!!

---------------------------------------------

"You too are about to learn what happens to wrongdoing at my school."
Filch cracked his whip threatingly.
"You know what? said Fred. "I dont think we are. George, I think we've outgrown
full-time education."
"Yeah, I've been feeling that way myself," said George lightly.
"Time to test our talents in the real world, d'you reckon?" asked Fred.
"Definitely," said George.
And before Umbridge could say a word, they raised their wands and said together,
"Accio Brooms!"...

"Give her hell from us, Peeves!"

"I didn't know you could read."
Draco from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
