Chapter 13: I Hope You Dance.
Evelyn was shocked at Roberts question. She shook her head and whispered into his ear. "I thought you'd never ask."
As the night came to a close Robert walked his girlfriend down to the dungeons. He leaned down and gave her soft kiss, and left back to the Gryffindor tower.
(The next week in New York)
"Oh, Merlin!" She gasped as looked at the tremendous crowd that was waiting for the competition to begin.
"Nervous?" asked an American girl with medium length brown hair and eyes with square glasses about to change for her performance.
"Who wouldn't be? I mean bloody hell look at the crowd!" She exclaimed.
"Don't worry about it. By the way I'm Lisandra, and you are?" Extending her hand to the blonde girl.
"Evelyn." Taking her hand. "How could you be so calm about a crowd like that?"
"Easy, just believe that you're in the room by yourself and do what you gotta do." Looking through the curtains she began. "Well I must change, good luck!"
"Thanks." As the time went by she applauded to the performers that went before her especially for her new friend Lisandra until her time came up.
"Ladies and Gentlemen we have Hogwarts sensation Evelyn Malfoy!" a loud voice said.
Coming out with her guitar she peered at the crowd and saw her family friends and Robert. She spoke. "Well this song is for those who feel down. I hope they dance." She pulled on the guitar strings and began to sing.
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder.
You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger.
May you never take one single breath for granted.
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed.
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean.
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens.
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance.
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance-hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance.
Never settle for the path of least resistance.
Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin'.
Lovin ' might be a mistake but it's worth makin'.
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter.
When you come close to sellin' out, reconsider.
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance.
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along.
I hope you dance-hope you dance
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder, where those years have gone.
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean.
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens.
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance.
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
Dance
I hope you dance.
Time is a wheel in constant motion
always rolling us along. Dance. I hope you dance.
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder, where those years
have gone.
I hope you dance-hope you dance.
Once the song finished she saw the concert hall burst into applause and receiving a standing ovation. As the announcer presented the brave souls that performed, he stared at the judges and spoke again. "Thank you all for performing. The 1st and 2nd placeman gets to move on to Silver's Academy in New Zealand." He picked up the envelope and read aloud. "In 2nd place is Lisandra Cortez from Miami International School of Liberal Magical Arts. For performing and original dance by Celia Cruz."
She hugged the people around her and bowed to the audience. "Now in 1st place is..." He began to keep the crowd in suspense for a couple of seconds the exclaimed. "Evelyn Malfoy of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in England for singing I hope you dance!"
Evelyn was shocked that she's moving on to the next and final round of this competition hugged the people around her then bowed, waved and blew kisses at the audience.
A/N: Yeah I know cheesy chappie can't help it. I swear the next chapter will have a better song. Thank you so much for the reviews! Hope you all keep reading and reviewing!
