You Belong With Me
Hermione sat in front of the mirror in her room at Hogwarts. How long had she begged for him to notice her and yet nothing. Inside she knew it was a foolish hope and yet somehow she couldn't let it go. She sang to herself:
"I could be your favourite blue jeans
With the holes in the knees in the bottom of the top drawer
I could be your little beauty queen,
Just a little out of reach,
Or the girl living next door
I 'd be your angel giving up her wings
If that's what you need I'd give everything to be your anything"
She sighed. It was hopeless she knew. Why would Severus Snape even look twice at her let alone want her for himself? And then there was the problem of his girlfriend. She was tall, black haired and mysterious – everything Hermione felt she wasn't. She hoped and prayed for the day however when he would turn around and realise she'd been there the entire time. Well maybe he would…if she just looked a little different, and with that she began her makeover as one of her favourite songs came on. Magical people never quite understood the need for her IPod and speakers and yet she knew she couldn't live without them. She liked using Muggle items occasionally; it made her feel more at home here that anything else.
You're on the phone with your girlfriend
She's upset, she's going off about something that you said
Because she doesn't get your humour like I do
I'm in the room it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
She'll never know your story like I do
"Too damn right" though Hermione to herself. "After all you did only save his life and yet he still treats you like dirt. What's she ever done for him?" Hermione ended this thought with a blush; she didn't like the direction her mind was going in.
But she wears short skirts
I wear T-shirts
She's cheer captain and
I'm not the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
What you're looking for has been here the whole time
And it was true! She was everything he wanted – he just didn't know it yet. She was determined to keep changing her look until he noticed her, until he dumped that pathetic girlfriend of his and chose her. "Now, now Hermione," her mind countered, "What makes you think he'd go for you? A student of all things, against his beautiful girlfriend? You must be insane if you think he'd ever even tolerate let alone like you." Sometimes she really bloody hated that inner voice.
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me
