Rating: PG-13 (swearing)

Summary: Ron and Harry are best friends, but deep inside they are jealous of the other

Disclaimer; Unfortunately I do not own any HP characters, I wish I did, but I don't. The song belongs to me however.

A/N: This was an idea that had been floating around in my head for about a week before I could actually write it down. I have to say that I have never read a fic with this idea, but I would like to if anybody knows any good ones. This is also a one-shot fic! REPOST

Ron's PoV

I was seen, but looked over. I hadn't done anything great and I hadn't done anything incredibly stupid; I was average, no more. If I were granted one wish it would have been to be noticed, to walk in the spotlight and see how it feels for once in my life. Just once, I want to shine, not for something I did wrong or by accident, but for something I did right by wanting to. Just once…

Did you know what I wish I could be For someone to see me

My best friend gets the spotlight; he doesn't even remember what he did to get the limelight. It's unfair. He doesn't even try to do anything and everybody watches his every move, whether it be good or bad. During our first year at Hogwarts he got the limelight because he was the bloody Boy Who Lived. Second year he got attention because they all thought he was the heir of Slytherin.

And I'm watching everybody else get the light

And I feel like I have no might

I say to myself, 'just wait itout'

And over again there is no end

It's all the time; he gets the attention, every damn day. Every damned day we go to school or Diagon Alley. Then there was the third year, he got attention because he would faint when the Dementors came after him, bloody Hell, he fainted, everyone faints one time or another during their life. Get over it already! Maybe I should too.

Does anybody believe in me

I'm hiding in the shadows hoping to fly free

I just want to be myself far away from here

Hoping that my best friend wont come near

What can I say about our fourth year? Once again, he gets the light; he becomes one of the two Hogwarts champions when there's only supposed to be one. Why? How does it all happen to him? Then our fifth year comes along, and he starts getting visions; he sounds like a nut, but I believe him, and still, of course he gets more attention.

Believe in me! See me!

I'm bleeding inside of me

And no one can see

Is it so wrong of me to want what he has? Is it so wrong to envy your best friend because they get what you've wanted for so long without even trying? Perhaps it is. It probably is…but you can't stop what you feel. I'm jealous of my best friend. Damn it! I'm jealous of the person whose saved my life, of the person who saved my father's life.

Believe in me!

See me!

I'm bleeding inside of me

And no one can see

Why am I so jealous?

I just want to be Harry for one day, that's all and nothing more.

Harry's PoV

I am always seen…but never heard. I've gone through five years with people thinking I'm something that I'm not and still they don't know. They don't know my deepest desire, they don't know what my life was like before I came to Hogwarts, they don't know who I am, who I was. They see their own view; an icon of perfection and it pisses me off to no extent. They see someone who will fight their battles for them, and kill the dark lord. I don't know if I can kill Voldemort; I only know that he can kill me.

Did you know that nobody knows me

And everyone thinks I'm flying above

But I just wish to be

Leave me alone, all I want is some love

My best friend has everything that I wanted and I envy him for that. He has a mother and a father who loves him, he has brothers and sisters who he enjoys being around with. He goes through life like a normal person. That's all I have ever wanted and he has it.

Did you know I'm dying here

Praying that no one will come near

They'll come to near to the truth

They cant see who I am

I hate what people make me out to be. I hate how people judge me on first basis. They're always comparing me to my father. "You look so much like your father" or "Your father was such a great quidditch player" or Snape's favorite one "Your father was an arrogant brat". I am not my father; I never knew my father or my mother. Damn you Ron.

Nobody knows me

I cant let them see

Every time I had a dream, someone would squash it down and bring me back to reality. Why did they have to do that? Why couldn't they let me have my fantasy world? It was always broken down. Always! Your so damn lucky Ron and I don't know if you even realize it. Can't you see how much I wish I had your life? I would trade places, but I know that to give someone my life would be hell.

See me for who I am

You cant believe in my faults

Watch me and see

Believe in someone other than me

I never had a family. I had people I lived with and pretty much worked for. I never was normal; I went from being an outcast that no one was supposed to like to being in the center of attention for something I don't bloody remember. Damn it all! Damn you Vodemort; you screwed it all up. Damn you Ron; you had what I always wanted but never had.

I wish I could be my best friend

He's got everything I've ever wanted

I'm so jealous of my best friend. I just want to be Ron, just for one day, just one time. Just once.
