Our family has passed this down the generations to me, the last of my line. My father (Wayland Welkins) and mother(Helga Ethelrad Welkins), both wizard and witch, worked for the ministry of magic in minor offices. Both were sought out by the Dark Lord as converts, but refused to join him. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named tried a cruciatus curse on them, but my father stopped it with one of his magic songs. My mother began to sing a song to turn You-Know-Who's wrath, and it would have worked had she finished the song. However, he summoned his strength and the Dark Lord silenced her with the Avada Kedavra curse, then turned it on my father. I heard all of this from our neighbors as I was away visiting a pen friend in Finland. I stayed out of the country during You-Know-Who's reign, partially out of fear, but also because I was in an isolated area of Europe and I was hoping to master the vocal magic and discover, if I could, any remnants of the more powerful magic songs that were known in that region and study them. I returned to my home via Germany and France, continuing my research into vocal magic all along the way. While researching in England, Dumbledore diminished the Dark Lord and I used my singing, or rather, storytelling, in a mundane way -- to entertain. But now I see the signs all pointing toward a resurgence of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and wish to help defeat him and arm the wizards and witches with the most and best magic for their protection and survival.
