Emily comes home from school,
grabs onto her daddy's hand,
he says "baby girl what's wrong with you?"
she says "please don't make me go back there again"
Ron always tried to be the best father. When Rose came in one day after school, at the tender age of four, with tears streaming down her face, she rushed to him. "Baby girl, what's wrong with you?," he asked gently, stroking her delicate little hand. She hesitantly looked up at him and spoke softly. "Daddy, please don't make me go back there again."
She said "I wish there was some way
to make 'em stop it"
so he drives down to
that principle's ofice and says
Ron, heartbroken that his pride and joy was in so much pain, stared at her. Rosie whispered "I wish there was some way to make em' stop it." Her Dad whispered ,"Oh, Rosie their is." He called Harry and Ginny, dropped Rose off at theirs, and stormed into her principal's office.
"I didn't bring her up
so they could cut her down
I didn't bring her here
so they could shut her out
I live my whole damn life
to see that little girl smile
so why are tears, pouring down
that sweet face?
she wasn't brought up that way"
The principal looked shocked to see him there. "Mr. Weasley! What can I do for you?" Ron, his face contorted with anger began, "My daughter is being bullied. I want it to stop! I didn't bring her up, so they could cut her down! I didn't bring her to this school, so these kids would shut her out! My whole damn life revolves around seeing Rosie, my little girl smile! So, WHY, are their tears pouring down her sweet, little face? She wasn't brought up that way." The principal, shocked, quietly said ", Don't worry sir. I'll get to the bottom of this." Ron stiffly nodded his head, and stalked out.
Emily's home late again
he sees that boy drive away
oh but something different this time,
she doesn't have too much to say
she said "he tried but
there's just some things I won't do"
and through the tears
she said "I couldn't do that to you"
and he said
Ron paced back and forth at 11:10 at night, waiting for Rosie to come back from her date, 10 minutes past curfew! He hears a car pull up, and peers outside the window. He sees Rose softly walking up the front steps, and hears her open the door. "Hi Daddy." she says softly. Ron exclaims, "Where have you been missy? Lysander was suppose to bring you home ten minutes ago! I actully like Malfoy better then him now. He could be a better boyfriend then that loser!" Ron continued ranting about how he preferred Scorpious of all people right now, and then Rose breathed ,"I prefer him too." Ron stopped dead in his tracks. He finally realized Rose was crying. "Rosie! What is the matter sweetheart?" She said ,"He tried pressuring me into having sex, Daddy." Ron's face became a mix of anger, repulsion, and sadness. He gently fell on the couch and, finally after some time, spoke. "Did you have sex Rose?" He said bluntly. "Daddy," Rosie whispered, "No. I couldn't do that to you." Ron looked up, into his daughter's chocolate brow eyes and said,
"I didn't bring you up
so he could wear
you down,
take that innocent heart
and turn it inside out,
I live my whole damn life
to see my little girl's smile
so don't let nobody take that away,
you weren't brought up that way"
"Good. Rosie, I'm proud of you. I didn't raise you so, that you couldn't stand up for yourself and then crash and burn.
I'm glad he didn't take your innocent heart, and turn it inside out." he said smiling widely. "I've lived my whole damn life,
to see you, my little girl smile." Rose smiled widely at this statement, with tears still purring down her face. "Don't let anybody
take anything you don't give them away. You weren't brought up that way." Ron and Rose both stood up and shared a memorable hug.
The phone ring on a rainy night
says "it's Officer Tate"
he said "Sir there's been an accident,
you better come down here right away,
A drunken driver missed an over pass,
and Emily, she's fading fast"
3 years later, Ron waited at Rose's house with her husband, Scorpious Malfoy. The rain was pouring down hard. Scorpious was feeding the baby, Hermione Astoria Weasley, while they waited for Rose. They made polite chit chat, until they heard the phone ring. "It must be Rose, Scorp. I'll get it." Ron volunteered. He answered. "Sir, this is Officer Tate. There's been an accident involving your daughter Rose. A drunken driver missed an overpass. Rose is falling fast, so get to St. Mungo's right away." Ron hung up quickly, filled Scorpious in, and ran.
He says "god,I didn't bring her up
to watch them lay her down
nearly killed me the day,
they put her own
momma in the grave.
only thing that kept me alive,
was that little girl's smile
so please don't take that away,
I won't be easy taking her today,
she wasn't brought up that way"
He stands over the hospital bed
Emily opens her eyes
Ron ran into the lobby, and was pushed through to the doctor's office, where he received unsure news. "We don't know if Rose is going to survive." Parvati Patil told him gently. He said, "NO!" He raced into the hall, where he found his whole family. "She has to live. I didn't bring her up, to watch her be laid in a coffin before me." Harry and Ginny nodded. "I nearly died the day, when they put Hermione in the grave," he whispered, remembering how Hermione died when Rose was only three, thanks to a seizure. "The only thing that kept me alive, from joining the love of my life, was seeing little Rosie smile, and open her mother's eyes." "They can't take her smile away," Ron thought. "I'm not gonna let them take her away. She wasn't brought up that way." Scorpius raced into the room, semi-smiling. "RON! She's going to survive!" Ron looked up, the happiest anyone had ever seen him. He apparated to Rose's room, and waited. She finally opened her eyes. "Daddy. You thought I was gonna die. I'm not weak. I wasn't brought up that way."
