Pretty Girl

Summary: A little bit of Ginny's musing during the aftermath of her first year. Songfic to 'Pretty Girl' by Sugarcult.

Disclaimer: I didn't write PRETTY GIRL and I didn't invent HARRY POTTER.

Pretty Girl

Pretty girl is suffering, while he confesses everything
Pretty soon she'll figure out what his intentions were about
That's what you get for falling again
You can never get 'em out of your head

I can't believe that's what he was going to do all along. I thought Tom was my friend! Worse yet, I can't believe I didn't figure it out.

It's the way that he makes you feel
It's the way that he kisses you
It's the way that he makes you fall in love

Why didn't I trust my instincts? They told me something was up; they told me something wasn't quite right. That's why I threw the diary in the loo that day. Why did I have to be daft and get it back? Why did I let myself get jealous of Harry for having Tom?

She's beautiful as usual with bruises on her ego and
Her killer instinct tells her to beware of evil men
And that's what you get for falling again
You can never get 'em out of your head
And that's what you get for falling again
You can never get 'em out of your head

I was a pawn to him, nothing less and nothing more. He wove an intricate web of lies, and I believed each one. How could I have been so stupid! Eurgh!

It's the way that he makes you feel
It's the way that he kisses you
It's the way that he makes you fall in love

I trusted him! I told Tom every secret thought that I've ever had, every feeling. I can't believe I trusted him so much, when he was simply a stranger in a book. Why didn't I heed my Mum's advice?

It's the way that he makes you feel
It's the way that he kisses you
It's the way that he makes you fall in love
Love…

"Never trust anything that can think for itself, if you can't see where it keeps it's brain."

Pretty girl, pretty girl

But that is exactly what I did, and see where it got me? It got me writing things in blood on the walls, and petrifying innocent students. I got me almost killed, lying half-dead at the bottom of a secret chamber.


Pretty girl is suffering, while he confesses everything
Pretty soon she'll figure out
You can never get 'em out of your head

I loved him so much.


It's the way that he makes you cry
It's the way that he in your mind
It's the way that he makes you fall in love

I was so in love with him.

It's the way that he makes you feel
It's the way that he kisses you
It's the way that he makes you fall in love
Love…

You see what happens when you fall in love? Pain and devastation are all that follow. It hurts so much. So, so much. And even now, so soon after it happened, I know the hurt will never stop. Neither will the love.
