Hermione really didn't know just how beautiful she was. Fred hated seeing her so upset, just because his brother couldn't see that, and as a matter- of- fact, neither could half the population of Hogwarts. The small percentage of students that really could see her true beauty consisted of Fred, because he actually paid attention.
Much as you blame yourself,
You can't be blamed for the way that you feel
Had no example of a love
That was even remotely real.
She had even gone through several relationships, but no one really seemed to appreciate her. They all treated her horribly, and Fred raged at the thought of some of those. Many times she ran back to the common room late at night, crying, with bruises up and down her arms. He had been there to comfort her each time.
How can you understand
Something that you never had?
Ooh, baby if you let me
I can help you out with all of that.
Tonight was no exception. Why she would want to go out with a bloody git like my brother Ron, I have no idea. All I know is that she's here, and upset, and needs comforting.
Girl let me love you
And I will love you,
Until you learn to love yourself
He sat down beside her on the couch, as she curled up. "Hey, 'Mione." Fred said, putting an arm around her as she sobbed. "What did Ron do?" He clenched his teeth. "N-nothing." Hermione said, but knew that he didn't believe her. "Well, we were supposed to go on a date at the Three Broomsticks, but as I was walking to meet him there, I saw him snogging a Ravenclaw third year." She sniffled. "W-when I confronted him about it; he just said I was a bossy, ugly as crap whore."
Girl let me love you
I know your trouble
Don't be afraid
Girl let me help
"Why, that little….." he stopped as Hermione glared at him. "Look, Hermione. He is a bloody git to not realize just how beautiful and amazing you are. He doesn't deserve a girl as great as you are. You may not believe me, but it is true."
Girl let me love you
And I will love you
Until you learn to love yourself
She looked down and shook her head. "Fred, I know you are just saying that to make me feel better. What he said was true. I am bossy, I am ugly, and from the way I've been going between boys recently, I probably am classified as a whore." Man, she has some self-esteem issues, he thought to himself.
Girl let me love you
A heart in numbness
Is brought to life
I'll take you there.
Fred couldn't believe this. He raised her chin up, so she was looking into his eyes. "Hermione," he sighed "You may not know this, but I love you. I have for quite some time now, and I will NOT let you talk about yourself like this. Guys have no right to treat you that way."
Hey, hey
(Girl let me love you)
Girl let me love you, baby, oh
(Girl let me love you)
Girl let me love you, baby
(Girl let me love you)
Let me love you,
Let me love you,
Oh, Ooh
She blushed, but smiled at him nonetheless. "R-really?" "Yes, really." Fred tucked a strand of loose hair behind her ear, and wiped away the last of her tears. "Hermione, you really are beautiful." He leaned in for a sweet kiss, and brushed his lips lightly past hers.
I can see the pain behind your eyes,
It's been there for quite a while
I just wanna be the one
To remind you what it is to smile, yeah
I would like to show you
What true love can really do
She returned the kiss, and ran her fingers softly through his hair. When they broke apart, Hermione gave him a light smile. "Now, how about that Hogsmeade date, 'Mione?" "But it has already past, it is 9 'o clock at night!" She looked absolutely bewildered. "Come on, loosen up!" Fred picked her up bridal style, and began to carry her to a secret passageway. "Let's go, I know a secret way."
Girl let me love you
And I will love you
Until you learn to love yourself
Girl let me love you
I know your trouble
Don't be afraid,
Girl let me help.
They finally got to the Three Broomsticks, and thanks to a quick spell cast by Hermione, of course, they passed as adults. "Two butterbeers, please." Fred ordered, and set Hermione down in a booth. "Since when did you like me, Fred?" she questioned. "Since always."
Girl, let me love you,
And I will love you,
Until you learn to love yourself
Girl, let me love you,
A heart in numbness
Is brought to life,
I'll take you there
Oh, oh, oh, hey
Girl, let me love you, baby
(Girl, let me love you)
Let me love you
Girl, let me love you, baby
(Girl, let me love you)
Girl, let me love you, baby
(Girl, let me love you)
Let me love you
Girl, let me love you, baby
For every heart that beats (x4)
Heart that beats (x4)
Girl, let me love you,
And I will love you,
Until you learn to love yourself
Girl, let me love you,
I know your trouble
Don't be afraid,
Girl, let me help
Girl, let me love you,
And I will love you,
Until you learn to love yourself
Girl, let me love you,
A heart in darkness
Is brought to life,
I'll take you there
(Girl, let me love you)
Darlin', let me love you, baby
Love you, baby, hey
(Girl, let me love you)
Let me love you, baby
You, babe
Ooh, ooh, oh
