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
