An Ordinary Life
Harry & Ginny
You lie in bed in a dormitory in a castle thinking of him and wondering if he in turn is thinking of you. You can't help but wonder what it is about him that is so special. Why he is the one who is different from everybody else. Wondering if he, wherever he is, asks these questions too, or if he (you can dream can't you?) is maybe even thinking of you and him and the life you could be leading instead.
He lies in a tent in a forest thinking of her and hoping so hard that she isn't thinking of him. Why, he wonders is he the one who has to get all the attention' the cameras and the gossip and the peering and the pointing. Why he is the one who has to save the world. Thinking of what he would give to have an ordinary life with her.
When she tries to remember every tiny, would be insignificant detail about him, it all goes just out of reach. The exact emerald of his eyes. The sound of his voice. What makes him laugh. She does know though, that he hates it all; the attention, the gossip, the peering, the pointing. That if he could, if the world wasn't relying on him yet again to save the day, that he would swap it all in a second for an ordinary life.
He can't bare to think about her. About where he would be in say 10 years time. With her? Married maybe? Kids even? Yeah right, he'll most likely be dead. And the more he thinks of her, the more likely it is that she'll be dead too.
