I'd Give It All For You.
I had a house while you were gone
The week after you left me I found a couple acres near Sarilla Park.
I had a house while you were gone
A house with silver shutters and a driveway laid in marble
And thousands of rooms to fill and miles of space to fly.
Ginny tried to forget about Harry. She really did, honestly. But how could she, while he was facing danger and death everyday, and she was here at Hogwarts? She flew around the Quidditch Pitch at least twice a day, not including practice and games. It helped her forget Harry and her troubles, while at the same time bringing her closer to him. She took classes, defended Luna from bullies, searched for Trevor the Toad when he got lost, and was part of the resistance at Hogwarts. But no matter how busy she was, he was always there in the back of her mind.
And I tried to believe it
It was better without you
I was safer alone.
She knew that Harry's reasons for leaving her were 'noble' and 'sensible' but really, she didn't give a rat's arse. She was a Weasley, one of the biggest 'blood traitors' you could get. Her father was a known Muggle-lover, her family was in the Order, and she herself was helping the resistance at Hogwarts! She truly did not understand it.
No, I'd give it all for you
I'd give it all for you by my side once more
Ginny missed him dearly. She would give it all up just to see Harry. To see his bright green eyes, his scar, his messy hair, his smile, she would give anything. It was like there was a part of her that had gone missing.
Oh, I'd give it all for you
I'd give it all to hold you again, to feel I'm completed.
To know there and then, that all that I needed was you to fight the fear
And now you're here.
So, to say that Ginny was surprised when Fred woke her from one of her nightmares (they were coming daily at this point) and told her to get dressed, they were going to Hogwarts to fight with Harry, would be an understatement. She was flabbergasted. After all her worries, her fears, now Harry was here and maybe, oh just maybe, it would all be ending?!?! She was thrilled.
I took a trip while I was gone
I cashed in all my savings and bought an El Dorado
And drove to Tennessee.
Harry stared as the sun set over the hills of the countryside. It was beautiful, but he was much too stressed to enjoy it. He had the weight of pretty much the entire world resting on his shoulders. The sky turned to a crimson color, reminding Harry of Ginny. Ginny and her gorgeous hair, her gorgeous everything, and how she was far away.
I took a trip while I was gone
I drove across the country and stopped at lots of diners
And stared at a million stars and thought I could touch the sky.
The night sky came out, inky black with a thousand tiny twinkling stars. Harry wondered if Ginny were up, and maybe if she were looking at the stars too.
And I tried to believe it
It was better without you
I was finally free
Harry knew what he had done was best for Ginny, but it didn't stop him from missing her. It didn't stop his heart from hurting. In fact, it made it worse.
No, I'd give it all for you
I'd give it all for you by my side once more
It also didn't stop Harry from wishing it were different, wishing that Ginny were there to hug him, to kiss him, to sit by his side and just talk about things. Ginny was a formidable opponent. She would have made an excellent addition to their ragtag "team" of sorts.
Oh, I'd give it all for you
I'd give it 'cause the mountains I climb get higher and higher
I'm running from time and I'm walking through fire
And dreams just don't come true
But now there's you.
But if Ginny were here, Harry knew he wouldn't be able to handle seeing her in danger, seeing her like they were now. He couldn't do anything that might hurt her. It was for the best, he assured himself vehemently.
God knows it's easy to hide
Easy to hide from the things that you feel
And harder to blindly trust what you can't see.
Ginny was up, sliding on jeans and an old tee-shirt, rushing excitedly, grabbing her wand and flying downstairs. Scared, nervous, would Harry be okay, and why, oh WHY did she feel this way about him, and to realize it now, of all blessed times?! She pushed it away. Save your feelings for later, she thought, you have a battle to win.
God knows it's easy to run
Easy to run from the people you love
And harder to stand up and fight for what you believe.
Harry was in the Room of Requirement, astonished at how well it worked for the refugee kids. People started filing in rapidly, and suddenly he saw red hair. Tons of red hair, and knew it was the Weasleys, and felt the extreme need to leave. He couldn't see Ginny, not now, not like this.
Nothing about us was perfect or clear
But when paradise calls me I'd rather be here
There's something between us that nobody else needs to see.
One look. One look across the room, one look and they felt as though nothing had changed. One look.
There were oceans to cross
There were mountains to conquer
And I stood on the shore
And I stood on the cliff
And the second before I jumped, I knew where I needed to be.
Ginny knew, she KNEW, felt in her very soul that this was where she was meant to be, what she was supposed to be doing. Fighting. Helping Harry, just as Harry knew that this was where he needed to be, wherever she was.
Oh, I gave it all for you
I gave it all for you by my side once more
Oh, I gave it all for you,
I gave it 'cause it's harder to touch the things that are dearer
I love you too much to trust something clearer
I know I fell too far, but here you are.
"Hey." "I missed you." "I missed you too." "Wanna talk about it?" "I'd love that."
"Would you hold my hand? I've just missed it." "Yeah, I've missed it too."
