Title: Tell Him
Author: Petriebird18 (Deidre)
Disclaimer: Not mine, unfortunately.
Rating: G or PG (I'm not to good with ratings.)
Author's notes: Ok, this is my first Harry Potter fic ever, which means
this is my first AD/MM fic too. This is also my first song fic, and it's
in response to Datsue's challenge. The requirement's being AD/MM pairing
(DUH!!!) and using the song "Tell Him" sung by Celine Dion and Barbra
Streisand.
Feedback: PLEASE! I've never writing a song fic before, or AD/MM, so
feedback would be really great, thanks!
Two women were sitting at a small round table. If someone saw them from a distance it might look like a young woman and her grandmother having tea and chatting about the weather, but the weather was far from what they were talking about.
I´m scared (Celine)
so afraid to show I care
will he think me weak
If I tremble when I speak
Oooh - what if
there´s another one he´s thinking of
maybe he´s in love
I´d feel like a fool
Life can be so cruel
I don´t know what to do
"I know that I shouldn't love him, he was my teacher, my mentor.but I do. He thinks of me as his protégé, a friend, but what if he doesn't lobe me like I love him? He talks about how strong I am, but would I scare him if I revealed my softer, vulnerable side? Oh, what should I do Alvenia?" Minerva looked up at the older woman sitting across from her. She smiled softly and took Minerva's hand in her's. She and her mother were friends, actually, she and her grandmother were friends, and she grew to love Minerva like a daughter.
I´ve been there (Barbra)
With my heart out in my hand
but what you must understand
You can´t let the chance
To love him pass you by
"You can't be worried about your age difference, look at Aldan and I! He's 47 years older than I am and it worked out for us. I almost lost him once, don't make the mistake of letting him go."
Chorus:
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
rise in his eyes
reach out to him
and whisper
tender words so soft and sweet
hold him close to feel his heart beat
love will be the gift you give yourself
"You think I should tell him?" Minerva asked softly. "Do you love him?" "Yes!" "How much?" Minerva paused at this question, how could she explain how he made her feel? "I.he makes my day begin, the sun shines brighter, the moon more beautiful when he's around. It's like my senses are heightened when he's around, everything is so much more colourful, clearer, wonderful." "Then tell him that, make him realize that your love is real."
Touch him (Barbra)
with the gentleness you feel inside
your love can´t be denied
the truth will set you free
you´ll have what´s meant to be
all in time you'll see
"Let him know what you feel every time he enters a room. Show him how much he means to you, he's stubborn, and probably scared, but you'll see that he loves you too." Alvenia said softly squeezing her hand and smiling. "You deserve happiness, Minerva, and if he makes you happy, you have to tell him."
I love him (Celine) (Then show him) (Barbra)
of that much I can be sure (Hold him close to you)
I don´t think I could endure
If I let him walk away
When I have so much to say
"You're right, I would never forgive myself if I didn't tell him." "Then tell him." "I'd always think, 'what if?', but I know I love him, truly." Minerva looked at the woman sitting across from her, she'd been like a second mother to her. "I'll tell him, I have to before I lose him."
Chorus
Love is light that surely glows (Celine)
in the hearts of those who know
it´s a steady flame that grows
feed the fire with all the passion you can show B
tonight love will assume its place C
this memory time cannot erase B
your faith will lead love where it has to go C
Chorus
Never let him go
"When will you tell him?" Alvenia asked casually taking a sip of her tea. "Tonight, it can't wait any longer." She glanced at the other woman. "You really think that he'll return my feelings?" "And why wouldn't he?" "Well he can be quite stubborn and you must admit, he does have a fierce sense of right and wrong with certain things, such as dating former students." "He loves you, you'll see." "You really believe that?" Minerva asked smiling, "Or are you just saying that to make me feel better?" "I would never lie." Alvenia said looking insulted but was just kidding. "If you don't believe me you'll find out tonight. Look at the time, I really must be going." She said standing up and turning to leave, "Oh, but before I leave." She said turning back around and Minerva looked up at her, "Let me just say that you two better not elope tonight, if you're marrying my son, I better be there. I'll expect the invitation by next week." "That depends on your son, not me." Minerva said smiling. The older woman just laughed as she left, leaving Minerva alone to plan for that night.
