has explained the situation]
How did you die?
Well, I was on my way to a gig; it was me and a couple of other lads in this big van. We thought we were all that. Do you know how hard it is to score a gig in London? It had taken our manager weeks and another band cancelling for us to get the gig. We were so sure this was our big break, our chance.
I had no clue they even existed… I mean who'd have known that London was filled with wizards? They came out of nowhere, there was just this sudden noise like everybody's car had backfired all at once. We were all frozen, that kinda' thing shocks you to the core. The this one guy comes up to our van and makes it tear itself open… I was lucky, but Jerry was dead, the shrapnel ripped into him.
Me and Jerry were friends when we were little, we had the idea of becoming a band when we were 14. Rhys and Tom only joined towards the end of Secondary.
Jerry's face was torn. He never was a hit with the girls, but everybody looks plain ugly when they've got a hunk of metal stuck where their ear used to be. Rhys threw up. He always was queasy though. I remember when he got his tattoo, he threw up the second the needle touched him.
Well, the wizard guy didn't like Rhys puking on him. I couldn't see his face cause' of that creepy skull mask they all had, but I could still tell he was pissed off. Anyways, he hits Rhys with this light that makes Rhys go nuts. The problem was, every time the wizard hit Rhys with the light, Rhys would puke, and then the wizard would do it again. Eventually I think Rhys must've had a heart attack, he had stopped screaming and the seizures were gone too.
So the guy is finally done with Rhys and he turns to me. I start thinking, 'Gerome, now might be the time to get in good with god'. And in my head I'm reciting the half of the Our Father that I still remember, but he throws this green light at me and I'm knocked out. Well I assume that's when I died, cause' I don't know what else could've done it.
Would you like to know who won?
Yes.
A wizard called Harry Potter, he beat the wizards that killed you and other non-magical humans.
Um, that's good. I suppose that's the side I would've supported. Can I go now?
