The House Upon the Hill (from GoF, Chap 1)

(To the tune of The House Upon the Hill, from the 1991 musical The 
Secret Garden –Could there be a fanfic in this? "Harry Potter and the 
Garden of Secrets," in which it is revealed the Dark Lord has a green 
thumb in addition to his green light
.)

THE SCENE: The Hanged Man, a pub in the village of Little Hangelton, 
circa 1946. Enter CHORUS OF TOWNSPEOPLE. 

CHORUS
High on a hill sits the Riddle House
Their maid just came in to see `em
The news has reached town
That the three will need a Requiem.

Frank Bryce, who's their gardener, 
Was thought to have killed the Riddles
But the docs said `cept for being dead
They're all as fit as fiddles

So Frank Bryce was released then
But the mystery remains 
The riddle: "Who rid us of Riddles?"
Is one none can explain

(Segue 48 years ahead to the summer of 1994)

High on a hill sits the Riddle House
Long after its Helter-Skelter
The house is empty and run-down
And serves as a tax shelter.

There near the house is a cranky man 
Who everyone still dislikes
Frank Bryce tends the gardens yet
And yells at the kids on bikes.

But late one night there's noises
And a voice with a high cold chill
Is Frank so dumb he'd go alone
To the House Upon the Hill?
