Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters nor do I own the song "Someone Like You" from "Jekyll and Hyde". It just strikes me as a beautiful song and I thought I'd write it into a story. and I was on a real Starbucks rush when I wrote this.

Minerva McGonagall sighed as the put down her cup of peppermint mocha. She was sitting on the windowsill of her empty Transfigurations classroom gazing across the Hogwarts grounds, which were blanketed in snow.

It was such a beautiful time of year. Christmas had always been her favorite holiday. Every Christmas was special, but she had a gut feeling that this one would be more memorable than the others.

She sighed again. If only. if only he would notice that she existed.

I peer through windows,

Watch life go by,

Dream of tomorrow,

And wonder "why"?

The past is holding me,

Keeping life at bay,

I wander lost in yesterday,

Wanting to fly -

But scared to try.

But if someone like you

Found someone like me,

Then suddenly

Nothing would ever be the same!

My heart would take wing,

And I'd feel so alive -

If someone like you

Found me!

So many secrets

I've longed to share!

All I have needed

Is someone there,

To help me see a world

I've never seen before -

A love to open every door,

To set me free,

So I can soar!

If someone like you

Found someone like me,

Then suddenly

Nothing would ever be the same!

There'd be a new way to live,

A new life to love,

If someone like you

Found me!

Oh, if someone like you

Found someone like me,

Then suddenly

Nothing would ever be the same!

My heart would take wing,

And I'd feel so alive -

If someone like you

Loved me...

Loved me...

Loved me!...

Snow was now falling on the pine trees and cedars that lined the grounds. They looked so beautiful.

Minerva looked down and noted that her drink was getting cold. Swallowing the remainder of her delicious peppermint mocha, she got up off the windowsill and headed towards her bedroom to get ready for the Yule Ball.
