I'm Standing on a bridge
I'm waitin' in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound
Isn't anyone tryin' to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm looking for a place
searching for a face
is anybody here I know
cause nothings going right
and every thing's a mess
and no one likes to be alone
Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I... I'm with you
Oh why is everything so confusing
maybe I'm just out of my mind
yea yea yea
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I... I'm with you
Take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you
Take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you... – Avril Lavigne, 'I'm With You'
I never in my life thought that I would be here today, a successful businessman, loving husband and father. It's all too surreal sometimes I have often had to stop and check myself . . . to make sure that this, my wife and children, my happiness are indeed genuine.
I never figured that I would be even remotely happy in my life. I guess I just always thought that I would wind up one of those old men, who were never married, and always flirt shamelessly with the hostess at some cheap pub in Diagon alley.
I didn't think that I would ever find the love of my life, and I definitely didn't think that the girl she wound up being would be the girl for me when I first met her at 14.
She was eleven, and my youngest brother's best friend. She was pretty, young, studious, but always throwing the rules away for her friends, which she happened to have a lot of. I had only one other friend, and I would never throw the rules away. Most everyone found me dull, whereas she was full of spark.
It never occurred to me that I would have any offspring. The mere thought scared me out of my wits, now the thought; well . . . it's comforting and serene.
I didn't know that we would fall in love the way we did, because . . . I guess it just wasn't normal at that time. We look back, and we are thankful for it.
I suppose that's why I'm here, to tell you exactly how I fell in love with my wife, best friend and love of my life.
This is the story of Percy Weasley and Hermione Granger-Weasely.
