Her Life Written in Lyrics

Disclaimer: If I owned harry Potter, Sirius and Fred would have lived to prank for many more years!

A/N: Hello! This is my all-time favorite Taylor Swift song! I know I said that a few chapters ago, but this one is actually my favorite. Hope you enjoy! Milo.

Chapter 6

"You want me to sing with you?" Harry whispered in Ginny's ear. He really didn't want to sing, but he knew how hard it was going to be for Ginny to share this with her family. Ginny shook her head no. She would do it on her own. After all, if she made harry sing it with her she knew that would prove that she was scared of him, and she refused to let anyone think she was scared of Tom.

"Alright then," Harry whispered. "Sing for us now?" He asked louder so that everyone could hear. Ginny nodded.

Everyone looked confused as to why Ginny had acted this way about singing a song. The other songs she had sung were terribly sad, some had even made her cry; Ginny never cried. What could be so bad about his song?

Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you,

Counting your footsteps, praying the floor won't fall through… again.

And my mother accused me of losing my mind but I swore I was fine…

Molly had a suspicion she knew what this song was about. Ever since Ginny had come home from her first year, completely broken after her ordeal, Molly had felt terrible about the things she had said to Ginny. She felt like a horrible mother for not realizing something was going on with her daughter. Everyone else looked as confused as before.

You paint me a blue sky then go back and turn it to rain.

And I lived in your chess game but you changed the rules every day.

In Harry's opinion, a chess game was a pretty good analogy for what Tom had done to her. He played with her, made her do terrible things without her knowledge and then tried to kill her so that he could live. It was sick.

Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone… tonight.

"What's a phone?" asked James.

"It's that thing we have at home that you can call people on," said Lily.

"Oh, you mean that muggle thing that we never ever use?" James asked his wife.

"Yes, that thing James," Lily sighed, shaking her head.

"Mate, even I know what a phone is!" Sirius exclaimed.

"Yeah, Padfoot, you also know how to take apart a motorcycle and put it back together," James told his friend as if this made it reasonable for him not to know what a telephone is.

"A very useful skill thank you very much!" Sirius huffed, looking back at Ginny who was still cradled in Harry's arms, tears making silvery rivers down her cheeks.

So I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know.

Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.

Don't you think I was too young to be messed with.

This got everyone's attention. Ginny had always hated being told by her brothers she was too young. They would never let her join in on anything, even though she was only a year younger than Ron. She wasn't allowed to play Quidditch, play pranks, or play any of their 'big boy games'. Everyone was starting to suspect this song wasn't talking about her ex.

The girl in the dress cried the whole way home,

I should have known.

"This isn't about a boy is it Ginny?" asked Bill sadly. Ginny shook her head. A lot of people winced at the reminder of what she had gone through in her first year. Molly and Arthur remembered much too clearly the sight of their daughter, covered in blood, her red hair dyed a darker red by the ink from the diary, barely conscious in Harry's arms.

Maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame,

"NO!" several people shouted.

"Ginny, listen to me. It was not your fault. It was Tom's. No matter which way you look at it, it all comes back to him." Harry told her firmly. Ginny smiled slightly.

"I know. It took me a while to realize that though," she said sadly, snuggling closer to Harry. James smiled at the two; they really were made for each other. He wondered vaguely how no one else had figured out who Ginny's ex is yet.

Or maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away.

And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand,

Ginny smirked at this; she was a blood traitor and proud of it. Harry smiled at her and held her tighter.

And I'll look back in regret how I ignored when they said run as fast as you can.

Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone,

Don't you think I was too young to be played with?

Harry felt so sorry for Ginny. He would never tell her that of course, he would probably be hexed. They both hated being pitied. But Harry knew what it was like to be controlled by Voldemort. He hadn't been possessed like Ginny had, but his entire life had been controlled by Tom. He wasn't allowed to go to large wizarding events, he wasn't allowed to go to Diagon Alley without a guard, and any place that he went had to be covered with a million and one wards, enchantments and protective charms. It got very tiring after a few years.

The girl in the dress cried the whole way home.

Dear John, I see it all now it was wrong,

Don't you think eleven's too young to be played by,

Your dark twisted games when I loved you so?

I should've known.

Harry hugged Ginny even tighter. Lily thought that Ginny might not be able to breathe soon, but Ginny didn't seem to mind. Ginny's tears had stopped now, and her pained and broken look had been replaced by one of determination. Lily thought that it was so sad that four teenagers felt it was up to them to save the world. It wasn't as bad for Ginny, but Harry, Ron and Hemrione were planning something this year. Lily had heard that the three of them thought they were dropping out of Hogwarts. Like hell that's going to happen, thought Lily. But Lily knew that she would have no hope of stopping them if that's what they wanted to do.

You are an expert at sorry and keeping lines blurry,

Never impressed by me acing you tests all the girls that you've run dry,

Have tired lifeless eyes 'cause you burned them out.

But I took your matched before fire could catch me so don't look now,

I'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town.

Dear John I see it all that you're gone,

Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

The girl in the dress wrote you a song,

You should've known,

Don't you think I was too young, you should've known.

Ginny collapsed into Harry's chest as she sang the final note. Harry hugged her tight o him and rocked her back and forth.

"We're sorry Ginny; we didn't know what that song was about. We just thought you didn't want to sing it because it would give us clues about your ex," said Bill apologetically. Ginny just nodded at him, telling him she forgave him.

"Why don't you sing a happy song this time?" asked Charlie brightly, trying to get rid of the somber mood in the room. Everyone quickly nodded in agreement.

"Alright, why don't you choose the next song Gin, since you know what's happy and what's… well, sad," said Fred.

"No, I don't want to. Harry can choose," she said handing the book over to Harry.

"I still don't get why harry gets to know all this stuff but we don't. Why was he allowed to see what was in the book before Hermione put glamours on it?" pouted George.

"Because Harry already knows who my ex was," Ginny told him simply.

"Yeah, right bloody idiot he is. Always causing trouble," Harry joked dryly. Ginny rolled her eyes and slapped him upside the head.

"Stop putting him down; he is an amazing person," Ginny said seriously.

"That's news to me," Harry told her. Ginny punched him on the arm.

"Ow! Why do you keep hitting me?" Harry exclaimed indignantly, rubbing his arm. "You are freakishly strong!" Ginny giggled.

"I know. Remember that time I beat you in an arm wrestle?" Ginny grinned mischievously. The entire room started laughing raucously. Harry glared at her.

"My arm was sore!" Harry yelled. This just made everyone laugh harder. He sighed; his father and Sirius were never going to let him live this one down, and judging by the amused look on Ginny's face she was very much aware of the fact.

"Harry! I can't believe Ginny managed to beat you in an arm wrestle!" Sirius choked out between his laughter. Mostly everyone had calmed down by now, but James and Sirius were still going.

"Harry, we are never letting you forget this!" crowed James. Harry rolled his eyes before turning back to Ginny.

"Sing… Ours," Harry said softly once everyone was quiet. Ginny grinned at him.

"You have to help me," Ginny told him. Harry tried to argue, but Ginny's puppy dog eyes made him stop. Harry sighed, picking up the guitar and putting the capo on a different fret.

"Is this a happy song?" asked George.

"Yes, it is a very happy song. Harry helped me write it, when my ex and I first started going out," Ginny told them. "People were gossiping and talking about us, saying that I wasn't good enough for him, but I always knew he loved me, and so did our friends," Ginny told them.

"Why would people say you aren't good enough for him?" asked Fred, confused as to why people would think that of his little sister. When he and George were still at Hogwarts they had laughed at Ginny when she got angry at the dozens of boys who lined up to ask her out each Hogsmeade weekend.

"Because she's pretty and all the boys were jealous," Harry said. Ginny rolled her eyes at him, but her smile gave her away.

"Actually I think it was the other way round," Ginny said. "Every girl in the school wants to go out with him. I think he actually broke the Hogwarts record for the amount of Valentines cards received this year," Ginny laughed. Harry looked angry at being reminded, but he couldn't say anything in front of Ginny's brothers, they would figure out it was him. James roared with laughter.

"Oh I hope you got a picture of his face! That would have been hilarious!" James laughed. Harry glared at him, his face now a shade of red that would make any Weasley proud.

"Right! We're singing now!" exclaimed Harry. James shut up.

"This song is called Ours," Ginny said.

A/N: Hello! I know this chapter was kind of short, but I hope you liked it anyway. I know I have been neglecting this story lately in favor of my other one, but I will try to update it more regularly. Please leave a review telling me what you think! Milo.
