"Aluminum"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Disclaimer:
I don't own Harry Potter or anything you see in Bold Italics. The song is "Aluminum" by Barenaked Ladies, my favorite band. It is written by Steven Page and Ed Robertson who are remarkable song writers and musicians. This song is from their new cd "Everything to Everyone" and I think everyone should own a copy of it because it's awesome.

Description:
"You can shine like silver all you want but your just aluminum". Hermione is jealous because Ron has a crush on the perfect Fleur Declaur. Hermione knows Fleur is not perfect and is going to do something about it. Book 4 one-shot song fic. The song is by Barenaked Ladies. I thought it was a very pretty song, and well describes vela.

Hermione was so tired of it. She just couldn't take it anymore. Everyone thought Fleur Declaur was so perfect. Especially Ron. He had the biggest crush on her. Hermione had seen the way that he looked at Fleur, that stupid look he got on his face. Ron could be so stupid at times. Doesn't he realize the way that she only affects him because she is part vela? She was just a pretty face, just an illusion. Hermione had seen her around a lot, and she knew different. Fleur was selfish, rude, stuck up, and not exactly the brightest quill in the box. Hermione knew that Fleur was not perfect. Why didn't Ron see that?
How in every visible way you shine
as if the starts in your wake align
almost impossible to malign
But just below where you shine you burn
Although I know it, I never learn
Just goes to show that I can't discern
Hermione was deeply in love with Ron, but nobody knew it, especially Ron. The boy was absolutely clueless, chasing after a dream instead of going for the sure thing (her). So, Hermione was stuck going to the Yule Ball with Viktor Krum. Oh, Viktor was a nice guy and she liked him as a friend, but she wanted to go with Ron. Only Ron didn't want to go with her. He was in love with someone else.
Aluminum to me
Aluminum to some
You can shine like silver all you want
But you are just aluminum
Hermione didn't trust Fleur either. Obviously she has an effect on men. She might use her charms on Harry to better her chances of winning the Triwizzard Tournament. Hermione knew Fleur didn't have a lot of her own talent, besides her ability to flip her perfect silvery glowing hair, and might cheat to get what she wanted.
Illuminating just what you want to show
You'll never rust, but I'll never know
You can't be trusted
and I can't let go.

But Hermione was more worried about Ron than Harry. She didn't affect Harry as much as Ron. Every time she got around Ron he would forget everything going on around him, and then do something really dumb.
Every time you are here I forget
When you leave you leave only regret
Every time you are near I forget
Everything
Yes, Hermione knew Fleur was much prettier than she was, but that didn't mean Fleur was any better than she was. She was not proud of her jealousy, but she had to do something.
You are so light weight
How can you survive?
Reclying moments from other's lives
You are not as precious as you contrive
Hermione knew what she would have to do. When she went to the Yule Ball, she would make Ron very jealous of her and Viktor Krum. Then maybe he would notice her and forget about that worthless vela.
