Hogwarts Talent Show – Chapter 2

As the days passed more professors and their assistants received the letters. Certain students received the invitation too. Later that week, Dumbledore made an announcement during dinner. "As you all may have figured out by now, Hogwarts is having its first talent show. You are probably curious as to why only certain people received invitations. These invitations are not to show who's allowed to come, as the whole school is allowed to attend this event, but to show who I and Professor McGonagall have chosen to be in the talent show." There was a loud whisper among the tables. Some were excited whispers others were of certain students saying, "My parents shall hear of this one!"

As the days passed many were seen around the school practicing what they were going to do at the talent show. Many of them hurt themselves also. Madame Pomfrey had never seen this many people in her hospital wing in such a short period of time.

After all of the practicing, the night of the talent show finally came. The school was chatting frantically about what the people had planned to do in the talent show. Most had kept their talent a secret. Dumbledore came out after what seemed like forever. The whole school quieted down and Dumbledore spoke, "Good evening professors, assistants and students. I'd like to welcome you to the first annual talent show here at Hogwarts. I know many of you must be excited because you have never heard of one before. Talent shows usually only happen in muggle schools but our Muggle Life Skills teacher, Professor Bruteus Barpin, brought to my attention and I thought it a great idea." Barpin stood up and took a bow. Dumbledore continued on, "I will give the stage over to Professor McGonagall so she may announce the names of the people in the talent show." Dumbledore took his seat and McGonagall walked up to the front of the stage. "Good evening Hogwarts. We have many contestants this evening and I hope you will give each and everyone of them your undivided attention and respect. I now shall call up the first contestant, Professor Genah Avalon."
