Dances with Cinderella
*I don't own anything except the fic and the character Amelia Mcgonagall-Dumbledore. This fic is inspired by Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman. Hope you guys enjoy!
She spins and she sways
to whatever song plays
without a care in the world
And I’m sitting here wearing
the weight of the world on my shoulders
It’s been a long day
and there’s still work to do
She’s pulling at me saying, “Dad I need you
there’s a ball at the castle and I’ve been invited
and I need to practice my dancing
Oh please, Daddy please”
Dumbledore was sitting at his desk in his office sending a letter to the Minister of Magic when his daughter Amelia came running into the room. Though she was only two, she looked like an exact copy of his wife Minerva. Her long black hair getting in her face and her emerald eyes were shining as she said, “ Daddy, there's a ball at the castle and I need you to help me practice my dancing cause we're going together. Please daddy please.”
Dumbledore looked up to the portrait of Armando Dippet. Armando laughed and mouthed “ You can finish the letter later.”
“Of course sweetheart.” They proceeded to dance all afternoon, enjoying each other's company.
So I will dance with Cinderella
while she is here in my arms
‘cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don’t want to miss even one song
‘cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
and she’ll be gone
As he was putting her to sleep, Minerva came up behind him. “ You know that this won't last forever. Enjoy it while you can.”
“I wish this could last forever.” Bending down he kissed Amelia on her forehead. “ Goodnight my little princess.”
Sixteen years later...
She says he’s a nice guy
and I’d be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says, “Dad the prom is just one week away
and I need to practice my dancing
Oh please, Daddy please”
Once again Dumbledore was in his office when his daughter came bursting into his office smiling happily. Taking a seat across from him she then proceeded to tell him about her new boyfriend. Much to his displeasure.
“Dad, well since the prom is coming up...well..could you help me practice dancing. You know since I don't know how to dance that well and...wait here.” Amelia got up and went to her room. Coming back she carried her dress in her arms. “Do you like it? Mom helped me pick it out.”
Dumbledore smiled even though his heart was breaking on the inside. He didn't want his little to grow up and yet...here she was. “ You're going to look very nice in that dress.”
Again they practiced dancing all afternoon. Only this time, Dumbledore didn't get to tuck his sweet little girl into bed.
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
while she is here in my arms
‘cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don’t want to miss even one song
‘cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
and she’ll be gone
she will be gone
Eight years later...
She came home today
with a ring on her hand
just glowing and telling us
all they had planned
She says, “Dad the wedding’s still six months away
But I need to practice my dancing
Oh please, Daddy please”
Dumbledore and Minerva were sitting in his office marking papers when a twenty-six year old Amelia came walking in. Having graduated from Hogwarts, she went on to become an Auror. Smiling as she sat down, Amelia looked at both of her parents making sure she had their attention before speaking. “ I'm going to get married!” Amelia squealed.
Minerva looked at her daughter for a moment before leaping up to pull her into a tight embrace. “ To whom are you engaged to?!”
“Do you remember Aaron Snape the one who asked me to prom in the seventh year , he asked me, ME, to marry him!” Both women began hugging and celebrating again. Noticing her father had said not one single thing, Amelia turned from her mother to look at her father.”Dad,” she began slowly. “ aren't you happy for me?”
Looking at his daughter, then at Minerva, then back at his daughter he said “Of course I am sweetheart. Would you like me to help you with your dancing again?” He asked hopefullly.
Amelia looked at her father, happiness and tears present in her emerald eyes. “ Yeah, I would like that very much.” After a little hesitation she threw herself into her father's arms. “Thank you so much...daddy.”

A tear silently slipped out of Dumbledore's eye, traveling down his face as he held his daughter.
