There is something about the way Gene Kelly sings. Hermione just arrived at her house in London, and she went to her Ipod immediately. She wished she could take it with her to Hogwarts. She went to her favorites and picked her favorite Gene Kelly song: You were meant for me from Singing in the Rain. She closed her eyes as his soothing voice entered her ears.
Life was a song,
You
came along
I've laid awake the whole night through
If I ever
dared to think you'd care
This is what I'd say to you
She opened her eyes
quickly as an image of Ron popped into her head. She shook her head,
trying to relieve herself of this vision. She didn't know why she
thought of him…she tried telling herself that, but she knew why he
was constantly on her mind. She wished that he would think of her
like this. Merlin knows that she won't be able to sleep now. If he
only cared… You were meant for me
And I was meant for
you
Hermione couldn't remember when she actually started to like Ron, but one day she realized it, and it hasn't left her. But she believed that line with all her heart.
Nature patterned
you
And when she was done
You were all the sweet things
Rolled up in one
He's so much fun to
be around…except when he makes her boil over. Hermione laughed as
she remembered those times. She would rather be fighting with him
than not seeing him at all. This is going to be a long
summer… You're like a plaintive melody
That never lets
me free
But I'm content
The angels must have sent you
And
they meant you just for me...
Hermione wished she could be like Gene Kelly…to be so confident and assured about his feelings. He just went and told her. Hermione sighed, wishing she had someone to comfort her. At that moment, an owl tapped on her window. She was surprised that someone would be writing her so soon. There was also a parcel. She opened up the letter and read:
Dear Hermione,
After you left, I realized that I didn't really say goodbye. I, also, wanted to give you something. I know I don't have your talents, but I hope you like it. I hope you visit soon
Ron
She was touched by
this…any gesture from Ron she cherished. She focused on the
package, wondering what it could be. She opened it up and saw and
scarf. He must have knitted it for her. Her eyes gleamed and a small
appeared on her lips. To buy her something was one thing, but to go
out of his way and make her something…it made her feel so special.
She put it around her neck and thought, maybe her wishes weren't
too far away… But I'm content
The angels must have
sent you
And they meant you just for me...
