A bottle of white, a bottle of red
Perhaps a bottle of rosé instead
We'll get a table near the street
In our old familiar place
You and I - face to face hm, hm

He always ordered the wine. The quiet restaurant was the perfect place for them. The food and atmosphere was always the same, in a good way.

A bottle of red, a bottle of white
It all depends upon your appetite
I'll meet you any time you want
In our Italian Restaurant.

She ordered the food. They always met at the same time each month, or whenever they were feeling down. They were not in love, merely old friends.

Things are okay with me these days
I got a good job, I got a good office
I got a new wife, got a new life
And the family is fine

He would talk about the dunderheads he had to teach. Who currently held the record for most caldrons exploded, who handed in the most dreadful paper, and so on. Then she would talk about how her job at the University was going. The new things she was still learning. The nice boys she went out with once or twice.

Oh we lost touch long ago
You lost weight - I did not know
you could ever look so nice after so much time.
Do you remember those days hanging out at the village green?
Engineer boots, leather jackets and tight blue jeans
Oh you drop a dime in the box play a song about New Orleans
Cold beer, hot lights, my sweet romantic teenage nights ooh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh…..

Then they would reminisce on the old times, when everything happened so quickly; the wild parties in the Gryffindor common room, catching unsuspecting students out after curfew. They would talk about old friends. Sirius, Remus, Harry and Ginny, and Ron.

Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies
And the king and the queen of the prom
Riding around with the car top down and the radio on
Nobody looked any finer
Or was more of a hit at the Parkway Diner
We never knew we could want more than that out of life
Surely Brenda and Eddie would always know how to survive.
Oh, oh, oh, oh…..

She and Ron had started dating in their seventh year. Everything was perfect; the wedding was in July, just before Harry's birthday and just after the defeat of the Dark Lord. Then Ron went to work at his brothers' shop and she went off to University.

Brenda and Eddie were still going steady in the summer of '75
When they decided the marriage would be at the end of July
Everyone said they were crazy
Oh, but there we were wavin' Brenda and Eddie goodbye.
Oh, oh, oh

They got an apartment Diagon Alley. Just down the street from Ollivander's. They decorated it together, from the curtains to the kitchen cabinets. It was the perfect place for them.

Well they got an apartment with deep pile carpets
And a couple of paintings from Sears
A big waterbed that they bought with the bread
They had saved for a couple of years
but they started to fight when the money got tight
And they just didn't count on the tears.
Oh, oh yeah I gotta roll
Oh, oh, oh

But their life didn't go as planned. Money was tough to come by and her tuition was expensive. It got harder and harder to pay the rent. They eventually had to move back to the Burrow.

Well, they lived for a while in a very nice style

But it's always the same in the end
They got a divorce as a matter of course
And they parted the closest of friends
Then the king and the queen went back to the green
But you could never go back there again
Oh, oh

It all went downhill from there. The fights got worse and eventually Ron snapped. He just walked out the door. They never talked since. The divorce was done through owls and Harry and Ginny, who had just gotten married.

Brenda and Eddie had had it already by the summer of '75
From the high to the low to the end of the show
For the rest of their lives
They couldn't go back to the greasers
The best they could do was pick up their pieces
We always knew they would both find a way to get by

They always talk about the new times, then the conversation somehow steers itself to the old times, the fond memories of a more innocent time. Some things may change, but for Severus and Hermione, their dinners at the Italian restaurant will always be constant.

Oh and that's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie
Can't tell you more 'cause I've told you already
And here we are wavin' Brenda and Eddie goodbye
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah
A bottle of reds, a bottle of whites
Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight
I'll meet you anytime you want
In our Italian Restaurant.
