Chapter 4: Minerva and Athena
And we're back with the most awesome performance! This will be hard to top!
Without further ado we give to you………Minerva Dumbledore and her daughter Athena!!!
Minerva and a young girl of seven took the stage and microphones. The child had ebony curls and green eyes and was wearing a cream dress and green sash. The girl hid behind her mother's skirts in shyness.
Everyone gave light chuckles at this knowing the twins had talked her into singing in the first place.
Minerva smiled and put a hand on her daughter's back as the song began.
(Minerva): As you go through life you will see
There's so much that we
Don't understand.
And the only thing we know
Is things don't always go
The way we planned.
Minerva's voice was by far the best of them all. It was rich and sweet and seemed to have everyone of their children's attention. Even a few of their nieces, nephews, and grandchildren were entranced.
The child smiled and looked up at her as Minerva continued to sing.
(Minerva): But you will see every day
That we will never turn away,
When it seems all your dreams come undone.
We'll stand by your side
Filled with hope & filled with pride.
We're more than we are,
We're one.
Athena smiled at her mother and started to sing. Her voice was a softer and younger version of Minerva's but just as wonderful.
(Athena): If there's so much I must be
Can I still just be me
The way I'm?
Can I trust in my own heart
Or am I just one part
Of some big plan?
Minerva nodded to her and took her hand. "Remember what Grandmother said?" she asked aloud. The girl nodded as they both sang.
(Both): Even those who are gone
Are with us as we go on.
Your journey has only begun.
Tears of pain,
Tears of joy,
One thing nothing can destroy . . .
Is our pride, deep inside,
We're one.
Minerva bent down and picked up the young girl as they sang the last bit. Albus smiled brightly at his two favorite girls.
(Both): We're one, you & I
We're like the earth & sky.
One family under the sun.
All the wisdom to lead,
All the courage that you will need . . .
You'll find when you see
We're one . . .
"Bravo!" "Bravissimo!" "Awesome!" "Fantasmic!" many shouted as they clapped for the two.
Athena blushed and hid her face in her mothers ebony locks. Minerva bowed and took a seat on Albus' lap; holding Athena in hers.
Ah so nice…I do love mum's voice.
Yes and it appears our lovely baby sister will be just like her.
Well we shall take another short break and have another couple I think.
This song brought to you by Albus Dumbledore; the man that should be Minister but prefers children to adults. I wonder why?
