Hogwarts Talent Show (Albus/Minerva)

[Katheyrn Mae Wilson MD♥]

Yes, it's the cheesey "Hogwarts has a talent show and two people get together." But I was bored one day and was randomly going through my iPod and I found this song. :]

Also on my own ProBoards site.

AN: Mina’s a bit OoC but I had to do it for the idea…

---

Albus looked out nervously at the crowd, his eyes scanning the crowd of students and teachers, looking only for one. His heart leapt and he began to sing, still nervous – who was singing this with him?

Ya never know what you’re gonna feel, oh
Ya never see it comin’ suddenly it’s real

Minerva’s heart leapt when she heard his voice, she was singing with Albus! A duet about love! She took a breath, Keep calm Minerva. Keep calm. She sighed, dammit all! He’s your boss. She smiled, and began to sing.

Oh, never even crossed my mind, no
That I would ever end up here tonight

Albus’ eyes widened momentarily in shock, who would’ve known that Minerva McGonagall would have such a beautiful voice. And that he was singing this duet with her – he turned, stepping towards her, looking her in the eye and they both began to sing.

All things change
When you don’t expect them to
No one knows
What the future’s gonna do

Albus nodded at the next lyrics, they fit him and Minerva so well. She had always been by his side, when ever he needed help or comfort, she had always been there, watching out for trouble when he was careless. He smiled, taking her hand as he sang the next lines, gazing into her emerald eyes.

I never even noticed
That you’ve been there all along

Minerva smiled, suddenly turning away, why me? Why am I the one here tonight? Tears filled her eyes; I’ve wanted this for long, why now? Albus can’t possibly care for me like I do for him! She turned back, Albus and her singing, and looked out towards the crowd.

I can’t take my eyes off of you
I know you feel the same way too, yeah
I can’t take my eyes off of you
All it took . . . Was one look
For a dream come true

Albus squeezed her hand quietly, singing only to her. He turned to face the woman in front of him, and sang quietly so the Muggle microphone barely picked up his words.

Yeah, we got a good thing goin’ on

Minerva felt a hand reach up and brush a tear off her cheek, she smiled sadly at Albus, who was watching her intently and sang, a bit louder than him, trying to think only of their professional relationship in her words.

Oh, right here is right where we belong

Albus watched her closely, as she turned to face the audience. He could almost feel her heart breaking as more tears made their way down her cheeks.

You never really know what you might find

She turned from the crowd, looking into Albus’ eyes, and she sang quietly, ensuring that he kept her hand firmly in his as she sang.

Now all I see is you and I
You’re everything I never knew
That I’ve been looking for

Albus squeezed Minerva’s hand, and dropped it, putting an arm around her shoulders and held her close, resting her head against his chest, and ran his fingers through her long ebony hair.

I can’t take my eyes off of you
I know you feel the same way too, yeah
I can’t take my eyes off of you
All it took . . . Was one look
For a dream come true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
Oh, oh, oh yeah
So let the music play
Can’t take my eyes off of you
Yeah, the feeling’s getting’ stronger
And I never ever felt this way
Alright, I see everything
In your eyes. . . Oh yeah

Minerva twitched in his arms, relaxing as his hand ran through her hair, her eyes partly closed. She leaned a little more into his hold and sang, suddenly realizing why the staff had chosen her and Albus to sing this song.

All right, something’s happening
Cause everyone’s around but
You’re the only one I see

As the last verse began, Albus made up his mind. He pulled Minerva off of him, and started into her eyes, which never broke contact with his as his hand made it’s way around her waist. He leaned closer, resting his forehead against hers and they sang, their voices blending perfectly as they stared into each other’s eyes.

I can’t take my eyes off of you
I know you feel the same way too, yeah
I can’t take my eyes off of you
All it took . . . Was one look
For a dream come true
I can’t take my eyes off of you
Feelings like I never knew
I can’t take my eyes off of you
From the start. . . Got my heart
Yeah, you do
Can’t take my eyes off you.

Minerva smirked, as the music ended, her eyes twinkling; she shifted her weight from her right foot, to both and stood on her toes, kissing Albus’ lips gently. The Great Hall erupted into cheers, and she pulled back and looked into Albus’ eyes, “I swear, Albus Dumbledore, if you deny that you love me now, I will personally escort you to Lord Voldemort to be killed.”

“You wouldn’t dare, my love.” He kissed her forehead and wrapped both arms around her waist, pulling her into a hug. Minerva wound her fingers into Albus’ hair and pulled him forwards, kissing him hard on the lips. Albus responded eagerly, lifting Minerva off her feet and spinning her around, and he tightened his arms around her.
Pulling back, a bit breathless, Minerva looked out to the students in the crowd; “I think we might need to modify their memories tonight.” Albus withdrew his arms from around Minerva and put an arm around her shoulders, “Never, I want them to remember this night.”
