Ronnie Don't Be A Hero
AN: Just something that popped into my head after watching a video on YouTube.
Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER OR ANY OTHER CHARACTER – THEY ALL BELONG TO THE WONDERFUL J.K ROWLING !
(And as much as I'd like to own Ron Weasley, I DON'T – AND I NEVER WILL )
I DON'T own the song either, I just EDITED it!
Ronnie don't be a hero
The marchin' band came down along Main Street
The soldier-blues fell in behind
I looked across and there I saw Ronnie
Waiting to go and join the line
And with her head upon his shoulder
His young and lovely fiancée
From where I stood I saw she was cryin'
And through her tears I heard her say
"Ronnie don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"
"Ronnie don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife"
And as Ronnie started to go she said, "Keep your pretty head lo-o-ow"
"Ronnie don't be a hero, come back to me"
Here we are, about to go to the front line. I look around at the clusters of people. One couple caught my eye, though with such a vibrant hair colour it wouldn't be hard to spot Ron, he had ginger hair and she had bushy brown hair. Ron and Hermione, my best friends, she's sobbing on his shoulder, with her engagement ring sparkling in the sun. She's begging him not to go. She just wants her fiancée to be safe and alive. I understand, because I have my fiancée, Ginny, with her head on my shoulder doing the exact same as Hermione is.
The soldier-blues were trapped on a hillside
The battle raging all around
The sergeant cried "We've got to hang on boys"
"We got to hold this piece a'ground"
"I need a volunteer to ride up"
"And bring us back some extra men"
And Ronnie's hand was up in a moment
Forgettin' all the words she said
She said
"Ronnie don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"
"Ronnie don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife"
And as Ronnie started to go she said, "Keep your pretty head lo-o-ow"
"Ronnie don't be a hero, come back to me"
He never listens to Hermione! Putting himself in danger and forgetting she told him to keep himself safe.
I heard his fiancée got a letter
That told how Ronnie died that day
The letter said that he was a hero
She should be proud he died that way
I heard she threw the letter away.
Something bad always happens when he doesn't listen to her! He's gone and got himself killed! And all they did was send her a bloody letter! They didn't even tell me until I was shipped back home the next day. He better be glad we won, because he would have been killed AGAIN if he'd died for no reason! I can't believe he left me alone with his grieving fiancée and his grieving sister AKA my fiancée. But that's life I guess. But Ron, I have one question though. WHY? Why didn't you listen to Hermione? I guess you'll never learn, and we'll never know.
