Hogwarts Talent Show – Chapter 3
Prof. Avalon rose up from her seat and walked onto the stage. "Good evening. For my talent this evening, I will saw a person in half. Now I need a volunteer.", said Avalon. She looked around the audience for one and pointed to a man near the back that had paint all over his clothing. "Prof. Lysander, would you come up here and be my volunteer?", said Avalon. Lysander whispered to the person sitting beside him, "I've seen Muggles do this trick lots of times." He then walked up to the stage. Avalon walked back through the curtain and came out with a metal table and a saw. "Prof. Lysander, if you would please lie down on the table.", said Avalon. Lysander whispered to her, "Aren't I supposed to be in a wooden box." Avalon whispered back, "Wooden box? Why would I do that? The audience wouldn't see me do the trick." Avalon looked at Lysander as if he was a few apples short of a fruit basket. Lysander laid down on the metal table. Avalon picked up the saw and raised it over Lysander. Lysander let out a high-pitched scream as Avalon brought the saw down on him. Before he even realized it, he was in 2 pieces and it actually didn't hurt one bit. "Why were you screaming like a sissy?", said Avalon a bit louder than she meant to. The audience laughed. The two halves of Lysander crawled back to his chair. Avalon returned to her chair also.
McGonagall walked back up to the front of the stage. "That was…interesting…", said McGonagall. "Now for our next contestant, Assistant Stephanie Celeste." Miss Celeste got up from her chair beside Prof. Snape smiling at the audience as she walked up to the stage. "Hello everyone. This evening, I'm going to sing a song from the Phantom of the Opera. I hope everyone enjoys it.", said Miss Celeste. Miss Celeste started singing the part of Christina and she was doing an excellent job. In fact, she even hit the highest note at one point. This was not what amazed the audience. Miss Celeste started to sing the part of the Phantom and somehow she was doing an excellent job on that too. She was able to hit the lowest note. The audience was amazed how she was able to go from high to low so easily. There was a big clap for her when she ended.
McGonagall walked back up to the front of the stage again and said, "Wow, that was quite a performance Miss Celeste. I have never heard of anyone who could sing the lowest and highest notes." McGonagall looked at the list of the contestants and then looked a little irritated. "It seems I accidentally skipped over someone. Professor Bruteus Barpin, please come up to the stage."
