Whiskey Lullaby
She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette. She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget.
He'd asked her again. She said no. After Quidditch practice, he found her snogging a different guy than last time in a secret passageway.
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time.
Every night he'd sneak from the passage of the one-eyed witch into the Hogshead. In the last weeks of their 7th year, the twins had extended the tunnel all through Hogsmeade, he only discovered it last year, when he started needing the whiskey.
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind.
He was there every night. The folks there knew him well, and knew his problems.But when he was smashed, he'd still see flashes of her in his mind, and talk about her non-stop, but it dulled most of the pain.
Until the
night
He stumbled out of the bar, and ran up the stairs in the
flat next to the pub , tripping over every other step. Finally,he
got to a room. He grabbed her bottles of whiskey he kept stocked up
there. And drank as many as he could. It had intensified the pain.
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
He couldn't
remember what was wrong, but kept on drinking anyways.
Life is
short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get
up off his knees
He laid down,
looking at his picture, finally remembering. He remebered all of her
friends and family who had died. His head hit the pillow, and he
drank even more to get it to stop.
We found him with his face
down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
GINNY FOUND
HIM LYING THERE, WITH THE NOTE. AND UNDER HER HER KNEES BUCKLED. IT
HAD BEEN THE NIGHT BEFORE THE HOGSMEADE WEEKEND APPARENTLY. WHEN THEY
WERE TOGETHER THEY'D GONE THERE TOGETHER ON DATES ALL THE TIME.
And
when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey
lullaby
LAAAAALAAAAALAAAAA
LAAAAALAAAAALAAAAA
LAAAAALAAAALAAAAAA
They hired a professional singer to sing at his funeral. And they could hear murmaids and angels singing all around the world. Everyone else's guardian Angel was singing along with her, but where was his?
The rumors
flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
Ginny was a
recluse. She dropped out of school. And lived in a flat next door to
The Hogshead in Hogsmeade. Every night, she'd go there, and drink the
whiskey, till dawn. She'd killed Harry. she'd drove him to suicide.
And she thought it was just some fling he'd have with her. She
couldn't stand the pain.
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She still denied, ever knowing the usual crowd at the Hogshead, or ever acually going in. But everyone knew the truth.
She finally
drank her pain away a little at a time
One night, she could
see nothing but mist, and swirling bright colours that made her head
ache.
But she never
could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night
She stumbled out of the bar, and ran up the stairs in her flat, tripping over every other step. Finally, she got to her room. She grabbed her bottles of whiskey she kept stocked up. And drank as many as she could. It had intensified the pain.
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger And finally drank away his memory
She couldn't remember what was wrong, but kept on drinking anyways.
Life is short
but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up
off her knees
She laid down, looking at his picture, finally
remembering. She remebered all of her friends and family who had
died. Her head hit the pillow, and she drank even more to get it to
stop.
We found her
with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear
life
The next morning, her mother found her, and lifted up the pillow. And saw she wasn't breathing. She grabbed the bottle of whiskey, and threw it on the ground. It shattered to pieces, like her daughter's life.
We laid her
next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey
lullaby
Dumbledore could hear two voices singing at the funeral, along with all the guardian angels, but where were theirs?
LAAAAALAAAAALAAAAA
LAAAAALAAAAALAAAAA
LAAAAALAAAALAAAAAA
