She could feel the keys of the grand piano as she played. Each one echoed a certain note. They were strung together in a familiar song. One she knew by heart. She came to the first verse and her voice filled the air.

Another day has almost come and gone
can't imagine what else could wrong
Sometimes I'd like to hide away somewhere and lock the door
A single battle lost but not the war

tomorrow's another day
And I'm thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain

it's almost like the hard times circle round
A couple drops and they all start coming down
Yeah, I might feel defeated,
I might hang my head
I might be barely breathing - but I'm not dead

tomorrow's another day
And I'm thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain

I'm not gonna let it get me down
I'm not gonna cry
And I'm not gonna lose any sleep tonight

She held out the last note for a dramatic effect and when she finally let it slip completely from her lips applause filled the air.

She opened her eyes to see the sunlight streaming in from outside. She glanced at the clock on the wall… almost nine. As if on command Madam Pomfry walked over to the bed.

"How do you feel?"

"Good I guess," Selena answered.

"The Head Master wishes to speak with you."

"Yes Ma'am,"

She sat up and swung her legs to the side of the bed. She stood up slowly and walked to the door. She noticed that Remus had apparently left this morning, as his bed was empty. On her way to Dumbledore's office she decide she would take one of her detour strolls around the lake before heading off to speak with him. She was sure he wouldn't mind. She started thinking about her dream. It had been ages since she had sung. She was filled with a sudden desire to do so again. 'No'she told herself as she tried to push it out of her mind. But it wouldn't go. She stopped walking looking around to make sure no one could hear her. She closed her eyes and let her heart take over.

If I live to be a hundred
And never see the seven wonders
That'll be alright
If I don't make it to the big leagues
If I never win a grammy
I'm gonna be just fine
'cause I know exactly who I am

I am rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me

And that's who I am

So when I make a big mistake
When I fall flat on my face
I know I'll be alright
Should my tender heart be broken
I will cry those teardrops knowin'
I will be just fine
'cause nothin' changes who I am

I am rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

I'm a saint and I'm a sinner
I'm a loser, I'm a winner
I'm steady and unstable
I'm young but I am able

I am rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

I am rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

When she finished that song she felt, even after everything that had happened, that life couldn't get any better. She continued walking around the lake and with out even noticing she started singing again this time, though, she put not only her heart into it but her soul also.

I don't need a lot of things
I can get by with nothing
Of all the blessings life can bring
I've always needed something
But I've got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You're my only reason
You're my only truth

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you

You're the hope that moves me
To courage again
You're the love that rescues me
When the cold winds, rage
And it's so amazing
'cause that's just how you are
And I can't turn back now
'cause you've brought me too far

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through

I need you
Oh yes I do

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do
I need you
I need you

She held the note out as long as possible as she headed away from the lake towards Dumbledore's office in the happiest mood she had been in since… well as far back as she could remember.

Remus stepped out from behind the tree once he knew she was gone for sure. He had never heard anyone sing as she had. Whether it was because she had found the one thing that could make her happy or if it was just the way she put her heart and soul into it, it didn't matter. It was still beautiful. With her voice echoing in his mind he ran off to the common room to await the arrival of the others, and to tell them that he had found the most gifted student in Hogwart's history.
