A/N: This is for 'The Starry Eyed' Challenge on HPCF. My song was Little Dreams, which is by Ellie Goulding.

It's dark outside

(and darker inside)

What with the

sadness&®ret&&pain

That fills all the empty

p a u s e s

'cause all the laughter disappeared

out the door

when Ron did.

But despite that

he can't help

but think about a girl

with fiery hair

and brown eyes that shine

(even though he really should be

finding Horcruxes

figuring out how to defeat Voldemort

fathoming exactly how Hermione's mind works)

but even though there's

deathdestructiondevastation

there's an image of her

stuck in his head

and her name repeating itself

o v e r a n d o v e r a n d o v e r

like a shadow hanging over him.

It's not Voldemort though, not really

Or his own death

Or losing Hermione and Ron forever

(and he's ever so guilty for that)

nope.

It's G i n n y.

that maybe leaving her this time-

well she'll leave him

(she could have any guy,

why'd she want one who wasn't all that

funny or handsome or smart?)

and it's not like he really should

be thinking about her all this time

he's her ex, after all

(and he regrets it oh-so much)

and all he's got it that he

l o v e s

her oh-so very much

he hopes that l o v e l o v e l o v e just might be

enough.
