A/N: This is my first Fanfic that I've written by myself. I've written a another story with my friend Bookworm2795 called "The Years of the Marauders" on a joint account under the name Gryffintherin. I've modified the lyrics to fit the story. It takes place during Half-Blood Prince. I apologize if Hermione seems a bit OOC,
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters or the original lyrics to the song. All I can say is that JK Rowling is a genius and that Taylor Swift is an awesome on with the story...
"Hermione come on. Why won't you sing?", asked Ginny.
The Gryffindors were having a karaoke night to celebrate the victory of the Quidditch Cup. Harry and Ginny had come back after their talk and walk around the grounds. Everyone except for Hermione was in a cheery mood.
"Ginny, I already told you, I don't want to sing. Besides, the exams are next month. I really want to do well on them.", replied a frustrated Hermione. Why can't anyone understand I care about these bloody exams?
"Please Hermione? With a cherry on top? After this I'll let you study"
"Alright"
"Yay! Thanks Hermione. I owe you.", Ginny said hugging her. "Oi, McLaggen Hermione's up next!"
Hermione's POV
As I got onto the makeshift stage I started to hyperventilate. What did I get myself into?, I thought. Well there's no turning back now. It's now or never.
"What song will it be?", McLaggen asked.
"Erm…" What song should I sing? There's a whole bunch that I know. I do like that Taylor Swift song though. Wait! What if Ron gets the hint? NO! I can't but then again he does the emotional range of a teaspoon. If I'm lucky. he might not notice.
"Hermione?"
"Oh sorry about that. I think that I will go with…
"Oi everyone shut up! Up next we have the intelligent Hermione singing 'You Belong With Me" Please put your hands together for Hermione!"
Hermione took a deep breath and started singing:
You're in front of me with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm talking to Harry about what she's like
And she'll never know your story or family like I do
But she's annoying, I'm your best friend
Harry's quidditch captain while I'm a prefect
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what your looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
You belong with me
Walking in Hogsmeade with you in your worn out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing near the lake thinking to myself, "Hey isn't this easy?"
And you got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say your fine, I know you better than that
Hey whatcha doing with a girl like that
She's Lavender, I'm your best friend
She's annoying and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what your looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know?
Ron, you belong with me
You belong with me
Oh, I remember you talking to me in the middle of the night
You're the one who makes me laugh when you know I'm about to cry
I know your favorite teams while Harry tells us about his "dreams"
Think I know where you belong, think I know it's with me
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know?
Ron, you belong with me
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought that just maybe?
You belong with me
You belong with me
As soon as the song ended, the entire Gryffindor common room broke into a simultaneous clap. They all seem to agree on one thing, Hermione's performance was the best by far.
"What's going?", asked a new voice as they climbed into the common room. It was Ron.
"Sorry to tell you mate but you just missed the best performance of the night", McLaggen hollered.
"Do me a favor and shut up McLaggen and second who was it that sang?", Ron asked
"Me", replied a scarlet Hermione.
"Um…I wish I could've seen you sing Hermione. I'm sure it was great"
"Thanks Ron, but it's no problem"
The entire room was now quiet
"Hey guys how about we continue with the karaoke eh?", Harry said trying to break the silence.
There were murmurs of agreement amongst the Gryffindors.
"Thanks mate"
"Yeah. Thanks Harry"
"No, problem what are friends for?"
"Hey Hermione are you alright?", Harry asked.
"Yeah. I'm fine. I'm just…relieved"
"About Ron not hearing you proclaiming you feelings for him right?"
"Harry!" Hermione was blushing a deep red now.
"Hey, I'm just messing with you. Come on. We better go before Ron thinks we're up to something…"
A/N: So how did I do? Reviews are appreciated. Thanks!
