Hi everyone! This is my first fanfic ever! Enjoy!
Taking a heavy breath, the girl with the honey curls shuffled up to the stage. She was shrouded in darkness and all that could be seen was the sight of her bowed head. As she lifted her face the audience could see a look of determination, one to prove that she could do this as long as she relaxed and put her mind to it. She had suffered through battles and wars, tears and sorrow, laughter and joy, and throughout it all she continued to greet every new experience with a smile and a twinkling glint in her eyes. Yet, there was one thing that she longed to experience. One thing that she had yet to encounter, was the mystery, the pain, the joy and suffering, of love. So with another deep breath and the closing of her eyes, this girl, Hermione J. Granger, opened her mouth and sang.
I am ready for love
Why are you hiding from me
I'd quickly give my freedom
To be held in your captivity
I am ready for love
All of the joy and the pain
And all the time that it takes
Just to stay in your good grace
Lately I've been thinking
Maybe you're not ready for me
Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
They say watch what you ask for
Cause you might receive
But if you ask me tomorrow
I'll say the same thing
I am ready for love
Would you please lend me your ear?
I promise I won't complain
I just need you to acknowledge I am here
If you give me half a chance
I'll prove this to you
I will be patient, kind, faithful and true
To a man who loves music
A man who loves art
Respect's the spirit world
And thinks with his heart
I am ready for love
If you'll take me in your hands
I will learn what you teach
And do the best that I can
I am ready for love
Here with an offering of
My voice
My Eyes
My soul
My mind
Tell me what is enough
To prove I am ready for love
I am ready
As her soulful voice came to the last whisper, cinnamon colored eyes once again appeared to the audience. In the deep silence that followed her last wispy words, Hermione was able to meet the eyes of the people who stared at her in shock. Who would have thought that THE Hermione Granger hadn't experience something so simple yet so complex as love? And who would be the one to show her? Suddenly the sound of clapping hands and excited whoops startled the pensive girl out of her trance and with a subtle blush and a bashful smile she left the stage feeling hopeful and even more determined to find this feeling that continuously evaded her grasp. She was ready and willing and she would do it.
This song is sung by India Arie and I encourage everyone to go listen to it. Let me know what you think, please R&R!
