* Draco's solo in "Back To Hogwarts" from ''[[A Very Potter Musical]]''. It switches from the happy major of everyone else's solos to a high minor, and it's about his dream of ''leaving'' Hogwarts, [[Take Over the World|taking over the world]], forcing everyone to submit to him, and getting Harry out of his way. Of course, since it's a parody musical, it's played for comedy: |
