I can't believe that I haven't seen a Harry/ Ginny songfic to this song yet. It's my first songfic, so please, be kind! Oh, and the song is "On the way down." By Ryan Cabrera. And this is at the beginning of their sixth year; Harry and Ginny have gotten closer over the summer.
Disclaimer: I am not worthy to pretend that I own Harry Potter. (lol!)
Sick and tired of this world
There's no more air
Tripping over myself, going nowhere
Waiting, suffocating, no direction
I took a dive and…
"Harry?" Ginny crept quietly down the stairs to the Griffindor common room. It was completely empty, well, except for one raven-haired boy. (Although it was around 2 in the morning.) "Harry?" she was almost right behind him. He was staring out the window, and from his reflection, she could tell he had been crying. "Harry? What's wrong? Why won't you talk to any of us about this?" Ginny was beginning to get worried. He still hadn't even acknowledged her presence yet.
"What is there to talk about? It's my fault that everything bad is happening all around us. I shouldn't even have been born." Ginny gasped.
"Harry! Don't you ever talk like that!" How could he think everything was his fault? It wasn't his fault Voldemort was a prat.
"I don't even know why I bother with living anymore, Gin. I mean, no one loves me anyway."
"I do." It was a whisper from Ginny that she hadn't meant to escape, and she hoped he hadn't heard her.
"You-you do?" He looked surprised, almost as if he was happy about it. She nodded. "I've…er…kinda loved you too Gin, since about the middle of the summer." Ginny was elated, but then she saw he was about to cry again. "I don't deserve to be loved Ginny. Especially not by someone as great as you." He started crying again, and she grabbed him, dragged him over the couch, and let him cry on her shoulder.
On the way down,
I saw you, and you saved me from myself
And I won't forget the way you loved me
And on the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held on to you
The next morning, when Harry woke up, he felt great. Ginny had comforted him, and they had decided to be boyfriend and girlfriend. But he still felt as though everything was a little of his fault, but Ginny made that feeling go away whenever she was near. He felt like she was the only one who could ever bring back his old self. He finally felt alive again.
Been wondering why it's only me
Have you always been inside waiting to breathe?
It's all right, sunlight on my face
I wake up and yet, I'm alive 'cuz
On the way down
I saw you, and you saved me from myself
And I won't forget the way you loved me
And on the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held on to you
I was so afraid of going under
But now, the weight of the world
Feels like nothing, no nothing
(down, down, down)
You're all I wanted
(down, down, down)
You're all I needed
(down, down, down)
You're all I wanted
You're all I needed
And I won't forget the way you loved me
All that I wanted, all that I needed now
On the way down
I saw you, and you saved me from myself
And I won't forget the way you loved me
And on the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held on to you
Awwww! I think it's actually pretty good. Better than my other two anyways. Well, I might write more fics later, but who knows. Adios!
