Hey, here's a new one!
This is "I've Just Seen A Face" by the Beatles. Although, I love the Across the Universe/Jim Sturgess version.
This songfic was inspired by a Glee episode. Rachel and Jesse are talking through a bookcase. By the way, new season comes out 9/21! Yay!
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, JK Rowling does. I do not own "I've Just Seen A Face", the Beatles do.
Btw, in this fic, Harry and Hermione are not best friends. Harry is just seeing her for the first time.
Kind of short.
I've Just Seen A Face
She did not notice him as he stared at her through the bookcase. She had curly, chestnut-brown hair and the most beautiful, brown eyes Harry had ever seen. She was about his age and his height. From her robes, he could tell that she was a Gryffindor, like him. How had he not noticed her before? She was plain, but that's what made her beautiful to Harry.
She was scanning the titles of the books, running her fingers along the spines, trying to look for the right one. She bit her lip. Her bottom one in concentration. What was her name? He wanted to know. He needed to know. He wanted to know her. Wanted to talk to her. Wanted to know who she was. All about her. She pulled a large tome from the bookcase and opened it, flipping through the pages. When she did not find what she was looking for, she shut it with a loud snap and put it back.
I've just seen a face,
I can't forget the time or place
Where we just met
She's just the girl for me
And I want the whole world to see that we've met
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Harry continued to watch her. He began to ask himself if this was considered stalking. 'She would've noticed by now' he thought to himself. 'She would've been weirded out and would have ran away. She would have given me a disgusted look. But she didn't. Maybe she likes it.' He smirked as she continued to search for the book she was looking for. She stopped suddenly and grabbed another book. This time, it was much smaller. A green book with yellow pages. She skimmed through the pages of this one, as well. Once again, she snapped it shut. But at the snap, her eyes shot up and met his. Harry gasped quietly and flipped around and planted himself against the bookcase. Out of sight. 'That was close.'
Through the vibrations from the bookcase against his back, he could feel the book being put back in its place. After a moment, he turned around and followed her again. He wondered if she did this everyday. He would come here everyday to see her. Well, maybe not everyday. He did not want to turn into a stalker. He watched as she licked her lips. Harry mimicked her. Licking his own mouth. Wanting to kiss hers. Wanting her to kiss his.
What she was, he did not know. No young woman was that beautiful. Maybe she was an angel. A gift from God. A happy face in his time of need.
Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
And I'd have never been aware
But as it is I'll dream of her tonight
Di-di-di-di-'n'-di
"Hermione!" someone called. Harry looked and saw a younger girl, who looked like a First Year Gryffindor, run up to her. 'So, her name is "Hermione". Unique, but lovely' he thought. "Can you help me find a book? It's for Snape's class. He wants us to create the Forget-Me-Not Potion."
"Sure, I'd love to help you," she said with a smile and she put her current book back in its place. And for a second. Maybe not even. But for just one second, their eyes met for the second time. But this time, she knew he was there. It was his confirmation that he knew that she knew he was there. And she did not say anything about it.
Harry watched as she was led away by the First Year girl to another bookshelf. Out of sight. He wanted to see her again. If she came back, what should he do to get her attention? Should he reach for the book she was going to reach for? Should he take her hand? Or just start talking? Maybe one of those? Maybe not taking her hand? He didn't want to creep her out.
Fallin'
Yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again.
I have never known
The like of this, I've been alone
And I have missed things
And kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite
Like this
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
He saw where she was and decided to go and meet her. Maybe introduce himself. So, he walked along the bookcase. He got to the aisle and turned. However, he was not watching where he was going. So, he slammed right into something with a lot of books. Those books tumbled to the floor with thuds and the figure he ran into was falling as well. Harry reacted very quickly. Catching them right before the fell to the ground. He saw those chocolate-brown eyes staring into his green ones. He smiled. It was her.
Hermione.
Fallin'
Yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again.
Everyone who was around them stopped to watch what was happening. Harry felt time had stopped at that moment. Time had ceased to exist. The only people he was aware of right now were himself and Hermione. It had been almost a minute since he caught her in his arms. She finally snapped out of it and cleared her throat. Harry "woke up" from his daydreaming and blushed beet red. He set her onto her feet and bent down to help pick up her books. "Erm...sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going," he said.
"Yeah, I kind of realized that," she giggled. 'Even her giggle is beautiful. Why am I feeling this way?' he thought to himself.
"Right," he cleared his throat and stood up when he picked up two, large books. Hermione picked up the third one and stood up, as well. She made a reach for them, but Harry shook his head. "No, it's okay. I'll bring them to Madam Pince for you if you want to check them out."
Fallin'
Yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again
Fallin'
Yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again
"Thank you," she said with a smile. "I'm Hermione Granger."
"I know," he said. "Harry Potter."
"I know," she repeated.
"Hi."
"Hi."
Fallin'
Yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again
THE END
Well, there's "I've Just Seen a Face". Hoped you liked it.
Okay, so I want to be a writer. Not just an author. But also I want to write a quotes book. I write some every now and then. You can use them if you want, but just credit them, please.
"We spend so much time trying so hard to blend in. Aren't we supposed to stand out? Being who we are does not waste time. It makes life worthwhile."-DREWHHR That's my latest one. It means that you should stop trying to be who you're not. Ppl always tell us to try to "fit in" with crowds. Find a crowd to be a part of. Why? We wouldn't be original. YOU try to start a group. A crowd. A crowd about being YOURSELF. And maybe just maybe, others will want to join that group as well. And then it becomes a life well spent.
"If you ever feel like you can't go on, tell yourself to take one more step, and when you have, tell yourself to take another, and another, and another, and another. Congratulations, you're there."-DREWHHR
"If my heart should fall out, I would not want it back. Rather, I would give it to you. If your heart was broken, I would give you mine so that you would not feel any pain."-DREWHHR Yes, I wrote that in "Look After You". Kinda. It's a variation of it.
Anyway, tell me what you think. Like them? Hate them? If I should become a "quotes writer". I mean, I just love to write what I feel and how I feel. Writing is WAY better than therapy (but not better than bubble wrap. haha). It lets you get things off of your chest. If I can't get things on paper, then I will never stop thinking about it. Try writing.
Anyway, pleez review!
I'm not sure what song I'm gonna do next.
