We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eyes and the flash back starts

I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air

See the lights; see the party, the ball gowns

See you make your way through the crowd and say hello

It was the Yule Ball and Ginny sat at a table in the back. Neville had gone to bed at nine o'clock, and it was nine thirty now. She sighed, bored.

Blaise Zabini had been left for some fancy Beaxbaton boy. He leaned against a wall, scanning the room for something to do. He saw a girl with coppery red hair and chocolate brown eyes sitting alone at a table. He walked over to her.

Ginny was about to head up to bed when a bronze colored arm appeared out of nowhere with a drink. The owner of the arm, a handsome man with amber colored eyes, smiled at her. She smiled back.

Little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles

And my daddy said stay away from Juliet

And I was crying on the staircase

Begging you please don't go

And I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting all that's left to do is run

You be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story, baby just say yes

"You know what I love most about you?"

Ginny felt a little shiver go through her. He had said love.

"Your eyes. They're like melted chocolate."

Ginny smiled at him.

"Funny. I love your eyes, too. They're like a golden brown with little green flecks in them."

They smiled at each other.

So I sneak out to the garden to see you

We came quiet because they're dead if they knew

So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while

Because you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter

And my daddy said stay away from Juliet

But you were everything to me

I was begging you please don't go

Ginny crept along the corridors, the darkness scaring her. It was one AM, and she was meeting Blaise outside by the lake. She stepped outside the door. The moon reflected silver off the lake, the stars seeming to dance in the unstill water.

Blaise sat under the beech tree, waiting for her. She called to him. He stood up, and she ran into his arms. He swung her around.

"Blaise! I missed you." Blaise kissed her.

"I missed you too."

They didn't notice the young man in the shadows.

And I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all that's left to do is run

You be the prince I'll be the princess

It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel

This life is difficult but it's real

Don't be afraid will make it out of this mess

It's a love story baby just say yes

"STAY AWAY FROM HER!"

Ginny watched in panic as Fred yelled at Blaise.

"IF IF I SEE YOU WITH HER, I WILL KILL YOU!"

Ginny tried to get him to calm down.

"Fred, calm down. It's okay."

Fred glared at Blaise one last time before he left.

"I'm sorry, Blaise." Blaise glanced down at her before leaving. Ginny watched his retreating back, her heart on her face.

I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming around

My faith in you was fading

When I met you on the outskirts of town

And I said Romeo save me

I've been feeling so alone

I keep waiting for you

But you never come, is this in my head

I don't know what to think

For five heartbreaking days, Blaise didn't talk to her. He never sent her roses anymore, there was no more secret meetings. Finally, she couldn't take it. She waited until class, and then she paswed him a note.

He met her on the very edge of the Hogwarts.

"Blaise, what's going on? I looked for you. What did I do?" Blaise just looks at her, and Ginny can feel her heart breaking when he knelt on the ground.

"Ginny, I love you. I think I loved you the minute I saw you sitting there alone at Yule Ball. Will you marry me?"

Then you knelt to the ground a pulled out ring

And sad marry me Juliet you never have to be alone

I love you and that's all I really know

I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress

It's a love story, baby just say yes

He pulled out an emerald ring. Ginny gasped.

"Blaise!" She flung herself into his arms. He held her close, breathing in her smell, a mix of apples and oranges. They kissed, and then, hand in hand, headed into Hogwarts.
