Sixteen going on Seventeen from the Sound Of Music.

Harry = singing

Ginny = singing

And this is after the final battle as you can see.


It was the summer after the final battle. Harry and Ginny wondered away from the rest of the family, who had been gathered in the back yard. They were still not back together and Ginny was getting annoyed with Harry for waiting so long. She decided to pull him away from her family so that she could talk to him privately. Just as she was about to start asking him questions, he put a finger over her mouth, as a way to silence her and started to sing.

You wait little girl

On an empty stage

For fate to turn the light on

As he said this last line, he pulled out his wand and wordlessly made his wand start to glow. He then began singing again as Ginny decided to sit down on a bench nearby.

Your life little girl

is an empty page

that men will want to write on

He sat down next to her as she leaned into his singing the next line.

To write on

Harry all of a sudden stood up and started to sing again.

You are 16 going on 17

Baby its time to think

Better beware

Be canny and careful

Baby you're on the brink

At this, he started to remember seeing her fight during the final battle and with the war over, he didn't want anything bad to happen to her. He on the other hand, was headed to a world that still had bad people, where he would be hunting these people down. While she would be going back to Hogwarts, and the amount of time they would be apart, he didn't think that he should be the one keeping her from dating other guys. Little did he know that she was only interested in dating him.

You are 16 going on 17

Fellows will fall in line

Eager young lads

And grueways and cads

Will offer you fruit and wine

Even though he knows that she could easily protect herself, he wasn't so sure if she really knew what was beyond their world.

Totally unprepared are you

To face a world of men

Timid and shy and scared are you

Of things beyond your ken

He started to realize that he didn't want her going out into the world on her own, so he decided that he would be the one to protect her and stay by her side.

You need someone

Older and wiser

Telling you what to do

I am 17 going on 18

I'll take care of you

As he finished singing, he sat back down next to Ginny. Almost a few seconds later, it started to rain, so as they imagined the music in the background, they ran for shelter underneath the nearby gazebo. Soon, it was down poring with flashes of lighting going off. As Harry decided to sit down, Ginny started to sing.

I am 16 going on 17

I know that i'm naive

Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet

And willingly I believe

Those who happened to call her sweet, really don't know what a true Weasley could act like, well, everyone except her family and Harry. And having Harry there to see her true self is the best thing that she could ever wish for.

I am 16 going on 17 innocent as a rose

Bachelor dandies

Drinkers of brandies

What do I know of those

As she sang these last few lines, it was basically the true. She didn't really know much about any of the drinks the muggles consumed, but she sure did know about those of the magical kind.

Totally unprepared am I

To face a world of men

Timid and shy and scared am I

Of things beyond my ken

Obviously she did know what was beyond her world, seeing as she had fought alongside her family and friends not too long ago in the final battle.

I need someone

Older and wiser

Telling me what to do

This was a lie in and of itself. She would most likely be the one in the relationship that would make all the rules. If Harry ever did something to her, her family would be knocking down his door quicker than you can light up a wand.

You are 17 going on 18

I'll depend on you

As she finished off the song, she came back to where Harry was sitting and leaned into his side. Almost immediately, he grabbed her hand and started to dance around with her in his arms. As they both were looking at each other, they knew that this is where they were meant to be, in each other's arms. Nothing else in the world could separate them, not even her brothers.

Not too long after, as they gazed into each other's eyes, green to brown, they touched their lips together, which would lead to a very passionate kiss. While they gave the kiss all the love and emotion it could hold, their family looked on with wide smiles on their faces, knowing that it was the start of something that would last a lifetime and beyond.


so i've been dying to use Sixteen going on Seventeen in a story for like forever and i really hope i did this well. Please, let me know what you think and if you have any songs that might fit well with harry and ginny, please let me know. :)
