Disclaimer: I wrote the story, but as clever as I want to be, I will never
own HP characters. And I will never own Love Has Brought Me Around either
but they are so cool. I'm rambling.
REVIEW!!!!!!!! Tell me what you think. If it sucks I won't continue it. If you like it let me know!!
~Chapter 4. Say it With a Song~
Oh. There it was. A sign that read:?Singing Competiton- come and sing for us.
So that's why everyone was piling in here. Hmm. This gave me an idea. "Hey, anyone want to enter with me?"
"Yeah!" said Ginny. "It looks like a lot of fun." We went over to the sign-up table and a witch that looked about 19 years old was flirting with the person stooped over to sign up. Wait. That's Percy Weasley! What is he doing? He's singing? I thought that I was informed he was an awful singer. I don't know. We'll see. Ginny was looking at his face though. I couldn't see, so I didn't know what she was staring at. I found out soon enough. "Percy! What happened to your glasses?"
"I, er, got my eyes checked and fixed. I had an appointment today. I wanted to surprise people. Well, best of luck." He walked away to find all the others. We signed up (separately, actually) and walked over that way too.
"And now, we have all the entries. We put them in random order. First up is Lorilei Swodfellow." That made Ron lean away from me as if I would bite him. I thought about it yes, but I wanted to know how well Lorilei sang. She did have a very sweet voice, but she needed more confidence. After her followed a lot of people I had no clue who they were, but their levels of singing went from amazing to awful. I won't be too bad.
"Percy Weasley." His name was announced and Ron gave a great snicker upon which Harry hit him in the ribs.
Don't come to me with your sorrows anymore
I don't need to know how bad you're feeling today
He scanned the crowd and found who he wanted to see. Penelope Clearwater. His ex-girlfriend.
I declare I've had my share and I've heard it all before
It's time for me to be stealing away
Let those rain clouds roll out on the sea
Let the sunshine down on me
Love has brought me around love has brought me around
Love has brought me around love has brought me around
His voice was actually quite sweet and had the right pitch for the old Muggle song he was singing. He looked directly out to me when he sang the next few lines.
When my sky was full of gray and my day was full of blue
There was nothing I could do to see myself through
Now my head is full of springtime and my heart is full of you
Goodbye lonely blue it shall all come true
He then looked around and surveyed the crowd.
Miss November I detect a frown
Close your eyes and turn it upside down
Love has brought me around love has brought me around
Love has brought me around love has brought me around
I know you know what I've got to say is an old cliché
Anyway so they say
Love has brought me around love has brought me around
Love has brought me around love has brought me around
He ended and the applause for him was almost uproarious. It seemed the crowd knew the song actually meant something to him and his voice was awesome. He looked at me. He looked at me. It's me. He likes me. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. Wait, maybe he wasn't looking for me, just looking for someone to look out to. No, he was looking at you. No he wasn't. Yes he was! I didn't have much time to argue with myself because my name was announced. I was shaking. But I went.
"Hi. I didn't choose an actual song, but more one that I made up myself." I smiled at the applause I got for doing a song of my own.
If I could have the entire world at my feet
It wouldn't matter I had it all beat
If I didn't have you by my side
It wouldn't matter if I fell and died
I looked directly at Percy for the next three lines and then let my gaze wander, looking to see who was there and who I knew.
If I could have one moment in your eyes
To make you realize
I love you more and more as the days go by
I don't wanna look back and sigh
I don't wanna wonder why
Can it be that I am falling in love?
It was so true. I was falling in love with a great guy and things couldn't be better. Actually they could if he loved, or even liked, me back. You know, some people have told me you can't love someone before you start to go out with them, but I was finding that to be wrong. Percy Weasley was the one for me and I knew it. Nothing could change that.
Me, the heart incapable of breaking through the ice
Me, the one to which hugging sufficed
But I wanna hug you and kiss you
If I could have one moment in your eyes
To make you realize
I love you more and more as the days go by
It's hard to keep it to myself
I glanced back over towards Percy and I swear he was looking straight back at me and I swear I almost got lost in his eyes.
I wanna tell you but don't wanna get hurt
If I could have one moment in your eyes
I ended, the song was perfect and I couldn't help wearing the grin from ear to ear because everyone in the Leaky Cauldron loved it. Even a few roses were thrown up onto the stage. I felt really special. Then I realized what I had done. The man to which I wrote the song was standing in the audience. But somehow even that felt good. One rose in particular caught my attention because a message was wrapped around it. I sat over in a corner with Ginny, trying to calm her down. She decided against singing.
"If that's what you want to do, then I'll support you, but if you want to sing, no one is stopping you," I said assuredly, looking in her eyes. It seemed she really did want to back out. She went to go tell them she decided against singing before having to tell the whole room and be humiliated.
While she was gone, I unwrapped the rose. The message read:
I will always care for you.
Love, Ron
Oh-no, this was not good. I can't have Ron caring for me while I'm falling for his brother. This doesn't work at all. And it didn't, but I couldn't help but feel special because Percy kept on stealing glances at me the way I stole glances at him. This will be all okay, I just has the be a matter of time. Right?
