Chapter 18: The End of the Year Celebration
Mandy walked into the great hall in a blue bell sleeved shirt, matching barrett, and faded flared jeans, it was the end of the year, and all the kids had gathered in the great hall to celebrate. Thomas beckoned her over to the Gryffindor table from where he was sitting, she smiled and walked over sitting down beside him. "Hey" she said as he kissed her cheek. "Hey.." he whispered. "I heard your singing today.." Sara said from across the table, Mandy nodded "Supposedly" she said smiling. Thomas grinned to her then pointed to where Dumbledore was, who grinned at them and gave them a thumbs up, Mandy giggled. "He's so silly" she whispered to Thomas who was now eating his dinner. "And Now for your end of the year Party.. we'll have Amanda Dumbledore singing.. well a song she says is a surprise for someone" Dumbledore said shrugging. Mandy grinned and walked up to the microphone and picked it off its stand.. "This song is dedicated to someone who once thought They'd lost me and just a reminder.. that they cant lose me" she said then cued to where Hagrid sat by a tape player, and waved his wand at it.
"You Cant Lose Me" (It Matters To Me)
A little girl, a little small for her age
A little too slow for the field day race
Momma's waiting at the finish line
And wipes the teardrops from her eyes
She says, "You did just fine honey, that's okay
"Sometimes life's just that way
"You're gonna lose the race from time to time
"But you're always gonna find
"You can't lose me
"Bet your life
"I am here and I will always be
"Just a wish away
"Wherever you go
"No matter how far
"My love is where you are
"You won't be lost if you believe
"You can't lose me"
Momma use to say "Girl it won't be long
'"Til it's time to go out on your own
"Chase your dreams find your place in life
"I know you'll do just fine"
When that day finally came
There were things she needed to but could not say
So I whispered softly as I wiped
The tears from Momma's eyes
"You can't lose me
"Bet your life
"I am here and I will always be
"Just a wish away
"Wherever I go
"No matter how far
"My love is where you are
"You won't be lost if you believe
"You can't lose me"
Once the song was over everyone clapped, Mandy set the microphone down and smiled then huried over to where Thomas was now standing and hugged him as he kissed her cheek hugging her back.
