Carry On as if Nothing Really Matters
mamma,
didn't mean to make you cry.
I sometimes wish I'd never been
born at all.
Carry on, Carry on,
As if nothing really matters.
Well she didn't know about Muggle Society but Ginny certainly saw the relevance in her life. She knew she hurt Harry with her comment but she felt it was true, though she didn't mean to hurt him. Knowing she couldn't take it back (that would be lying which Ginny couldn't stand) she had no choice but to carry on as if it didn't matter. Which was why she was now in the library by herself listening to the rest of the song, instead of hugging Harry and apologising, like she really wanted to. He would probably never call her Gin again.
At this point the boy in question appeared sitting across from her.
'Hi.'
Ginny couldn't help but stare at him sitting there staring at her with his big green eyes. And was even more surprised when he stuck out his hand and continued,
'Harry Potter. Nice to meet you.'
Ginny only stared at his hand, weathered by quidditch. Realising what he was doing she felt a wave of guilt wash over her.
'Harry –'
Without lowering his hand Harry interrupted,
'And
you are?'
'What!'
'Your name? Usually people who don't
know each other introduce themselves with their name'
Realising she wasn't getting out of it Ginny took his hand,
'Ginny Weasley'
He held her hand a moment longer and gave it a squeeze.
'Well nice to meet you Miss Weasley'
'Look
Harry –'
'So Miss Weasley, or may I call you
Ginny?'
'Ginny's fine but – '
'What's this you
are working on? Need ant help? I have extensive knowledge of Muggle
things and – '
'HARRY WILL YOU STOP IT I'M SORRY!'
Harry paused and the intensity Ginny saw in his eyes made her breath catch.
'No I'm sorry. Your right Ginny. I don't know you
or more you don't know me, but I'd like to change that.'
'You
don't have – '
'I want to. Now Bohemian Rhapsody, it's
not a love story – unless he's in love with his mother…'
Ginny giggled as Harry came up with one unbelievable story after another involving silhouette shadow people and furry animals called scaramouches doing the fandango, which was a high kicking dance. Ginny noticed that Harry was laughing and joking, something he had never really done around her. And even began telling her stories of his childhood, where he hid under a table during one of Dudley's movie parties so he could watch a film called "Wayne's World". He told her about them singing along in the car, knowing all the words, and much to Ginny's shock, even began doing impressions of an "air guitar" encouraging Ginny to join in. Soon she found herself laughing and joining him on the table until Madam Pince lost her temper and chased them out of the library, the tape player zooming behind them.
Leaning against each other a few floors away Ginny could not stop laughing,
'I haven't laughed
this much in so long!' Harry gasped.
'Ah, don't you know it
heals the soul Mr Pott – Harry.'
Ginny found herself automatically correcting herself and Harry's eyes lit up (quite a feat since she saw how much they were sparkling from laughing!) and he grinned. She blushed as his eyes bore into her and became even redder as he whispered,
'I think you're the cause of that Gin.'
Gin! He called me Gin again! Before she could contemplate what that meant she felt his lips graze against hers. She gasped in surprise which caused her lips to part slightly which Harry took as permission to kiss her more. As their lips met again Ginny came to her senses (well as much as could be expected from a girl kissing the boy of her dreams) and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer, enjoying the feel of his hair between her fingers, and deepened the kiss. As they parted, gasping for breath, they became aware of someone standing nearby,
'Bloody hell Harry! I thought you were just going to clear the air!'
Ron grinned as Hermione stood next to him, holding his hand and giggling to herself.
'Oh the air's clear now!'
Grinning Harry just leaned in to kiss her again…
SUBJECT:
BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY by Ginny Weasley.
Upon studying this song in great detail I find that the words and story it contains have no real relevance in Muggle Society. It is just a story.
However, upon closer inspection and in depth discussions with those with Muggle knowledge, I came to find that this song, in society itself, is pivotal. It represents everyone. All of Muggle Society appear to know it. Not just know of it, but song along, dance along and generally unite. It is the song of a generation, but also goes beyond it. It became immortalised in a Muggle film and is constantly voted best song of all time by Muggles themselves.
Bohemian Rhapsody is not just a song for Bohemians but is a song for the world. It is a common ground that brings people together, even in the Wizarding world people sing along and "air guitar" ( I am studying a large group dong this as I write). So in conclusion, Bohemian Rhapsody is a song that cannot be relevant in Muggle Society, but the reaction to it is a key part of Muggle Society in itself.
At this Ginny put down her quill and got up to join the party, looking forward to handing it in and her first date with Harry.
(A/N well that's it. Thank you to Toni and Jenni for all their encouragment and support, I would never have done it without them. Thanks also to all my reviewers Hope you all review this one and that you like it!)
