The Real Folk Blues

Ginny/Tom

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, and the song is from Cowboy Bebop, a totally awesome anime.

blah-song lyrics

*blah*- things said to Ginny by various people

It's too late to cry I love you.

The wind still blowing, my heart still aching.

Ginny Weasely wasn't a "completely average witch." She was far from it. She had fallen for the devil himself, Tom Riddle.

*He's worse than the devil himself, Ginny. You're lucky Harry was there to save you.*

Why couldn't they see that she hadn't wanted to be "saved"? She was alone, again. Just like always.

One of my eyes sees tomorrow

And the other one sees yesterday

I hope I could sleep in the cradle of your love,

again

She drifted through life with unseeing eyes. There was nothing important to pay attention to. He hadn't been the terror everyone claimed he was. Tom brought everything into focus, made her feel more alive.

*Cheer up. Ginny! Riddle's been defeated, aren't you happy? There's more hope for the future now. Harry can save us all!*

Do they all want a savior?

Cry for me, somebody, with dry eyes.

Ginny didn't mourn his loss. She couldn't cry, he wouldn't have approved. Even though he would never know, she did everything for him. She became a Prefect, and was eventually named Head Girl. Neither of those titles meant anything though, because she would never hear them fall from his lips.

*He won't be spreading any more lies, that's for

sure. Lies are the only things Riddle could tell.*

The Real Folk Blues

I just want to feel a real sorrow.

It's not a bad life in the muddy river

If life is once.

Every minute seemed to last for hours now. Whenever she was with him, time flew by so much faster. Oh, well. They do say that time flies when you're in love.

*Everyone else is out enjoying themselves, Ginny. Why don't you find yourself a nice boyfriend..*

Or was that when you were having fun?

Hopeless hope, and the chance with traps

What is right, or wrong?

It's like both sides of a coin.

None of them really knew him. If they did, even speaking his name would be frowned upon.

*Why? Because he's in Slytherin, Ginny. You don't want to get hurt, do you? Of course not. Listen to us, we know what's best for you. Ginny. Believe us.*

How long must I live till I'm released?

She can't even close her eyes without seeing him.

*He's bad, Ginny. Just forget about-*

No!!

She can't ever forget. He's still alive, because she still remembers.

*Don't worry, Ginny. He's gone now. He can't hurt you anymore.*

He never hurt her, never.

The Real Folk Blues

I just want to feel real pleasure

All that glitters is not gold.

In a small white room at St. Mungo's Hospital, a pale, red haired girl closed her eyes, staring into the face of evil. He would come for her, just like he had promised so many years before.

*Wait for me, Ginny. I'll never leave you alone in the dark. *

Her Tom would come, she knew he would.

The Real Folk Blues

I just want to feel a real sorrow.

It's not a bad life in the muddy river,

If life is once

A/N-I hope this wasn't too confusing. Tell me what you think!!
