A/N: Here you go. Next chapter. Song is Backstreet boys, All I have to
give, and is again dedicated to Mark Barlow. I am sorta stuck on Seamus's
turn but should be up in a few days.
Ron's Turn
Ron took to the stage. He didn't even have time to be furious at Harry for saying those things about his younger sister. He had to perform. He took centre stage. The four other boys came on and stood behind him, making a V shape.
They were all wearing black trousers, with a shirt on top. Neville was wearing a white top underneath as was Dean. The shirts were all different colours, with Harry wearing blue, Seamus wearing red, Dean with yellow, Neville with orange, and Ron with. Well that was the problem.
He pulled slightly at the clothing. Whose idea was it to wear these clothes? And why did he have to wear a bright green shirt.? It totally clashed with his hair. But he had to wear it as that was what they wore in the video for this song. This stupid song. He had only chosen it because it matched his feelings perfectly. Well that, and it was the only song he could think of that both he and Her knew.
All of a sudden the introduction began playing. Ron pondered for a moment how Fred and George had managed to make electrical equipment work in the Hogwarts grounds. Before he could think of an answer it was time to start singing.
"I don't know what he does to make you cry
Or how he does make you smile
I don't have a fancy car to get to you
I'd walk a thousand miles"
Ron had done well so far. He had remember all the words, even though he found it impossible to take his eyes off of Her. Her brown hair was making her hazel eyes look even more intense than possible. Ron thought that they were showing happiness, but he could never be quite sure with her. For all he knew, they could be shooting deadly death rays. But they would still looking beautiful, he would say.
"I don't care if he buys you nice things
Does his gifts come from the heart
But if you were my girl
I'd make it so we'd never be apart."
He wish he didn't have so much competition for her. Not that she knew it, but the amount of boys that had been checking her out recently, it made Ron sick. Not that he could blame them. She seemed to have turned into a supermodel, almost overnight. How come he hadn't noticed it until 4th year. How come he only noticed, once someone else had his claws into her.
"But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I could give
I wish I could give the world to you
But love is all I have to give"
And it didn't help that that person happened to be a world-class quidditch player, as well as mega-rich, and with enough fame to rival Gildroy Lockhart. Just Ron's luck. How could he compete with that?
"When you talk does it seem like he's not even
Listening to a word you say, That's okay babe
Just tell me your problems
I'll try my best to kiss them all away"
Of course, Ron knew that she always went to him for help with her problems. It's not like her boyfriend would be any help. He was usually the cause of all her troubles. He just wished he could be there for her, without having to be a backup.
"Does he leave when you need him the most
Do his friends get all his time
Baby please I'm on my knees
Praying for the day that you'll be mine"
But she would never notice freckley old Ron. She would never realise that Ron's feelings for her went way past friendship. And he would never be able to tell her face to face. So maybe this idea of his brothers wasn't such a bad idea. He would still kill them though.
"But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I could give
I wish I could give the world to you
But love is all I have to give."
She was still sitting there, her face the same expression as it was at the start of the song. But then her face didn't always show her emotions. He knew that better than anyone. It was her eyes that showed you how she was feeling. But Ron couldn't quite place the emotion. It wasn't anger, but it wasn't happiness either.
"Hey Girl,
I don't want you to cry no more inside
All the money in the world could never add up to
All the love I have inside"
She turned and whispered to Ginny, who was sitting next to her. Ginny rolled her eyes. Ron looked at his sister, wondering what She had said. Ginny mouthed "She thinks you're singing about someone else!" to her older brother.
Ron was amazed. Someone as smart as her didn't realise, didn't know that he was singing about her! It was time for drastic action. He jumped off the stage, while still singing, and slowly but purposefully walked towards her. If the other boys were confused, they didn't show it, as they were each serenading their own loves.
Hermione was taken back, however, when she realised that he was coming her way. Her cheeks turned pink and her left hand started trembling. He placed his hand on top of it, and knelt down on one knee in front of her.
"But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I could live
I wish I could give the world to you
But love is all I have to give."
A tear glistened in Hermione's eye, and he gently wiped it away with his hand. The song was ending so he thought he had better get back on stage. She understood now.
"But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I could live
I wish I could give the world to you
But love is all I have to give
To You!"
As the song finished, Ron held out his hand to Hermione. She nodded her head in an unspoken agreement. Ron smiled. But before he could do anything else he was dragged back stage, just as the others had been, to get ready for their final song. Seamus, for Lavender.
