A/N: This is the last chapter. I really hope you enjoyed this spin-off fic. It's definitely not my best work, but I just couldn't get this idea for a series of song-fics which tell a story out of my head and I had to use it in some way.

LIFE'S A SONG
Chapter Nine

***



"Hermione, you really don't have to do this," Harry told his fiancee as Hermione flipped through the pages of yet another spell book trying to find a reversal for the spell Ron had cast. She had only found out about her parents deaths a few hours previously. "We'll all understand if you don't want to do this for a few days."

"Harry I won't be able to grieve properly, or at all, until we stop this infernal singing!" Hermione told him.

Harry nodded and picked up a book and began to look through it, trying to help her. All was quiet until a few minutes later.

"I've found something!" Hermione's voice rang through the house and Harry's head shot up from the book he was looking through. "I know how the spell can be reversed?"

"How?" asked Harry eagerly, looking over her shoulder.

"There is no reversal!" Harry's face fell at this but Hermione continued. "At least, not one that you can cast, see, the spell will be resolved when the emotions are!" She closed the book with a flourish, looking extremely proud of herself.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Harry asked perplexed.

"Well, Ron cast this spell because of all his angst over Lavender, and until he gets over all that emotion, at least, until the emotions are resolved, the spell with stay in place."

"So what you're saying is that when Ron gets over Lavender the spell will be broken."

Hermione nodded. She looked at the clock on the wall. Ron's hand was pointing to 'Diagon Alley'. "Let's go," she told Harry.

In Diagon Alley, Ron and Lavender were trying to repair their relationship. "I'm sorry about what I said," Lavender told him. "I just kind of freaked, especially when Harry and Hermione were talking about their wedding. I mean, we're so young! I don't feel ready to settle down yet. Harry and Hermione are more than ready to settle down, anyone can see that, but I don't think we are."

"That's because we're not!" said Ron. "I mean, I'm incredibly immature!" he grinned and Lavender's face was lit up by a smile.

"And I'm a total ditz!" Lavender supplied.

"Exactly," said Ron. He took hold of her hand. This simple motion seemed to orchestrate be beginning of another song.

"I know I stand in line
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance
I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me

Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you

I can see it in your eyes
That you despise the same old lines
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you
For me it's true
And never seemed so right before

I practice every day to find some clever
lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait until the evening
gets late
And I'm alone with you

The time is right
Your perfume fills my head
The stars get red
And oh the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you
I love you..."

As the song finished, they kissed, probably with more passion and fire than ever before. They soon forgot all the passers-by and became totally wrapped up in each other.

Harry and Hermione arrived after a couple of minutes to find the lovers still captured in their embrace. They stared at them in amazement.

"I think the spell is over," Hermione said. Harry nodded.

"Yeah, but when we said we wanted Ron to get over Lavender, this wasn't quite what we meant."

THE END
