Title: Damsel in Distress

Summary: I'd like a fairytale, thanks very much. I never wanted to be the angel to save your soul. \ Leanne/George \ freeverse

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.

For Leanne: This is for you! It wasn't exactly supposed to be this angsty and I totally detest writing in first person, but… it happened. Oops. Anyways, I'll try to make it up to you with another story that has a happy ending, but for now, I'm just excited to have succeeded in pairing her with a Weasley Twin.

.

Maybe we fell in love

But I never meant for it to happen

I never meant to be the girl you wanted

I never meant to be the girl you loved

I never meant to be the girl you need

I never wanted to be a saviour

I never wanted to pick you up out of the dirt

And dust you off

I never wanted to pull you out of the ocean

And dispel the water from your lungs

I never wanted to slay the dragon

And be your knight in shining armour

Didn't you know?

I wanted to be the damsel in distress

I wanted a fairytale, not a rescue mission gone wrong

I know you don't call it wrong

I know you call it the best thing that ever happened to you

But Merlin, what ever happened to the unbeatable Weasley Twins?

I know he left you

But so will I

As soon as I have the chance

I'm not the hero you paint me as

I never wanted to be a Gryffindor

I always knew I should have been a Slytherin

It would have been easier

Because all I've ever done is save save save

My best friend was a damsel in distress

Remember her?

When she got cursed, Oliver Wood came to see her every day

They say the curse nearly made her go crazy,

But he saved her

She got her hero, her fairytale

And I got stuck saving you

So when's it my turn, huh?

Don't you think someone owes it to me?

Fate or maybe you?

Because I'd like a fairytale, thanks very much

I never asked to be the angel to save your soul
