Chapter 2: The Piano Woman.

"Our first contestant will be Minerva McGonagall, if you would please step up to the microphone."Minerva stood and walked rather slowly to the microphone. She stood behind the microphone for a second then the microphone shouted "A Thousand Miles originally sung by Vanessa Carlton." Then a piano magiked into the Great Hall and Professor McGonagall was instructed to sit down. The music started and her fingers magically began to move as she played the first measure of the piano intro. The lyrics scrolled onto the screen and Professor McGonagall began to sing.

"Makin' my way downtown

walking fast

faces pass and I'm homebound

Staring blankly ahead

just makin' my way

I'm makin' a way

through the crowd

And I need you

and I miss you

and now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky

do you think time would pass me by

cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles

if I could see you ... tonight

It's always times like these

when I think of you

and I wonder if you ever think of me

Cause everything's so wrong

and I don't belong

livin' in your precious memory

Cause I need you

and I miss you

and now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky

do you think time would pass me by

cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles

if I could see you ... tonight

And I, I don't want to let you know

I, I drown in your memory

I, I don't want to let this go

I, I don't ...

Makin' my way downtown

walking fast

faces pass and I'm homebound

Staring blankly ahead

just makin' my way

I'm makin' my way

through the crowd

And I still need you

and I still miss you

and now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky

do you think time would pass me by

cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles

if I could see you ... tonight

And I, I don't want to let you know

I, I drown in your memory

I, I don't want to let this go

I, I don't ...

Makin' my way downtown

walking fast

faces pass and I'm homebound

Staring blankly ahead

just makin' my way

I'm makin' my way

through the crowd

And I still need you

and I still miss you

and now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky

do you think time would pass me by

cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles

if I could see you ... tonight"

After she was done with her song, she blushed as the students clapped. Minerva sat down at her usual seat at the Head Table as Albus Dumbledore stood up and said "Our next contestant will be........Remus Lupin."
