Perfect

AN: So, this story is a song fanfiction, and I started this story as a roleplay the other day. Then this morning I thought why not make it an actual story? So, my song is Ed Sheeran's "Perfect," which is so lovely, and wished I could have written it myself. Obviously, it is an Ed Sheeran song, not mine. But out of curiosity, if you could have written any song at all, what one would you go for? Anyway, I hope you enjoy this story.

The First Bridge And Opening Lines

It was just another ordinary evening, well, it was as ordinary as an evening could be at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Students flew around on brooms, did homework, practiced spells, or had games of Chess. One such student, Sapphire Jacqueline Stone, who had recently turned sixteen, had just finished off helping a first year Slytherin with some Transfiguration homework, and was ready for a night of pleasant dreaming.

And boy, were they pleasant, or what? In her dreams, she was always with her lovely boyfriend Kein, and they were either dancing or eating out, but the thing that made it very special was a beautiful tune that played in their ears. It was unlike anything Sapphire had heard before, and it was so lovely that she knew she didn't ever want to forget it.

When she awoke, she was humming it, and after dressing for the day, she ran down to The Great Hall, still humming.

"What's that song, Sapphire?" Astoria Greengrass, a fellow Slytherin and a good friend asked with interest, as Sapphire poured herself some cinnamon tea and helped herself to some toast.

"Don't know yet. I heard the tune in my dreams last night, and I love it. No words or title, though," she said, just as her cousin's boyfriend plopped down beside her.

"Morning, Sapphire," he said with a smile, and Sapphire returned the greeting just as pleasantly.

"Good morning, Kambi," she said, and they made small talk about a manner of things, and Astoria joined in.

Half an hour later, Sapphire was humming that same tune again, not wanting to forget it. She made her way outside, and saw Kein sitting on his own in the courtyard. She smiled and made her way over, and when he saw her coming, he smiled and opened his arms to embrace her as she came closer. Ceasing her humming, Sapphire ran forward, her long black streaming out behind her, and hugged her boyfriend tightly. "Hello darling," she said jovially.

"Hello, dear," he whispered to her.

"How are you today?" She asked, just as words for her song came into her mind, and she immediately wrote them down, not wanting to forget them.

"I am great. Whatcha writing?" He asked with interest.

She smiled. "Oh, just some lyrics for a tune that came to me last night. Want to hear them?"

"Of course."

"Very well then," she said clearing her throat, and sang: "We were just kids when we fell in love, not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this time," she smiled at him. "What do you think?"

He smiled back. "Is that a song about us?"

"Yes, or at least, it will be one day." She smiled again. It was such a lovely day.

"Of course," Kein agreed with a smile.

Sapphire smiled at him, a warm, loving smile on her face. "I love you, you know?" She asked. "Of course I know that," Kein said with a smile.

"Yeah, you do, but still, it's nice saying it and meaning it," she said with love in her deep blue gaze.

"It's nice hearing it," he smiled, love in his purple gaze, like that of her cousin. As Sapphire lost herself in that warm, loving gaze, a single word popped into her mind.

"Perfect," she said, and Kein blinked, confused.

"What's perfect?" He asked.

"A good name for a song, perhaps the name for my song," she smiled.

"I love it," he said cheerfully.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

As she sat back, trying to think of more beautiful lyrics, she asked, "Do you want to hear the tune? I've got the tune, but hardly any lyrics."

"Of course I'd like to hear it," he said with a smile.

With a proud smile on her face, Sapphire pulled out the flute that she'd received from Kein and Kambi for her birthday, put it to her lips, and played the whole song from beginning to end. When she'd finished, he smiled at her. "That was so beautiful."

"Thanks, so what have you been doing recently?" She asked, sending her flute back to her dormitory with a wave of her wand.

"Oh, the usual," he said brightly.

"Nice, Amy and I met a guy named Eridan, who plays music well. We thought he was trying to hit on us, but when we warned him, we discovered it was just his way of being friendly."

Kein smiled. "Well, it was a good thing Kambi wasn't there. The guy wouldn't have any arms or legs by now."

Sapphire chuckled at that. "Very true," she said, knowing how protective Kambi was of Amy.

They carried on talking together, until Sapphire asked, "What do you want to do now?"

"I don't know. What do you want to do now?" He asked.

She stared at him, mesmerised by that loving gaze of his. Then, her stomach rumbled and she laughed.

"Lunch?" She asked.

"A good idea," Kein smiled, helping her up, and they set back off to the castle's entrance together. As they headed back, Sapphire opened her mouth again, and sang, "I found a love, for me. Darling just dive right in, follow my lead. Well, I found a boy, handsome and sweet. I never knew he was the someone waiting for me."

"That was lovely," Kein smiled at her.

"Thanks, just made those lyrics up. I think they'd go quite well with the lyrics that I already have," she smiled back.

Kein smiled again. "I think what you just sang is the opening, and the first bit you sang is the next part. You could put a chorus in there, then."

"What a lovely idea," she smiled.

AN: So, that's the first chapter. Hope you all enjoy it, and if you could have written any song, what one would you have gone for?
