Plot
Angelica Button, a student at Springwart's School of Magicry along with her friends Rick Weasle and Sam Puckle, attempt to unveil Lord Evilton's plans to become Minister of Niceness. In the form of his pet serpent Strangles, he runs for it and is voted. Angelica tries to unmask him but his façade fools everyone but Headmaster Amicus Greystache. Angelica is sent to the Sauro Mines of Mount Purgatorium by Donton Umbarge in the form of a unicorn. Angelica is imprisoned in a giant hourglass and Rick and Sam are thrown in jail. Malicious Krubb reveals to Angelica that he in fact, hipnotised Donton Umbarge and the rest of the Ministry to turn against her. The sand reaches her legs and Angelica screams. Greystache appears before her and he and Malicious duel. Malicious reveals to Greystache that if he attempts to save Angelica he himself will die in her place. Greystache frees Angelica but is killed. Malicious joins Lord Evilton and they leave. Angelica rushes to him, sobbing. Greystache looks at her, forlornly and whispers: "Goodbye, Angelica..." then he dies and turns to dust all except his moustache. Angelica weeps and calls out his name.
Homer's Alternate Ending
When Lisa appears upset at the idea of Greystache dying, Homer changes the plot of the end to appease her.
Angelica is imprisoned in a giant hourglass and Rick and Sam are thrown in jail. Malicious Krubb reveals to Angelica that he in fact, hipnotised Donton Umbarge and the rest of the Ministry to turn against her. The sand reaches her legs and Angelica screams. Greystache appears before her and he and Malicious duel. Malicious reveals to Greystache that if he attempts to save Angelica he himself will die in her place. Greystache conjours his 'Moustache power' and his moustache turns into fists which beat Malicious up and put him in the belly of a giant dragon. Angelica rushes to Greystache, shouting about how she 'somehow escaped from the hourglass!' Greystache gives her a high five then magics a sport car. They drive back to Springwart's, alive and happy.
Lisa is skeptical and reads the end. She shrugs, saying how Homer's ending was better before falling asleep.
Behind the Laughter
It is a parody of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince but differs from the plot of the book and some parts of the book have nothing to do with the tale of the Half Blood Prince.
