Goodbye Love
It really was a beautiful fall day a light breeze carried the scent of autumn in the air, it was much too beautiful for something as somber as a funeral. None the less that what they were here for Neville Longbottoms funeral. Ron couldn't believe that Neville was really dead how could he be gone. How could this family be falling apart how could they allow it to fall apart. As they began to leave the cemetery leaving Colin to have one more moment alone with his lover. Ron watched as Ginny approached Draco with Snape not far behind her.
Ginny
It's true you sold your guitar and bought a car?
Draco
It's true - I'm leaving now for Santa Fe
It's true you're with this yuppie scum?
Snape
You said you'd never speak to him again
Ginny
Not now
Ron watched as Cho stepped into the argument.
Cho
Who said that you have any say in who she says things to at all?
Draco
Yeah!
Pansy
Who said that you should stick your nose in other people's...
Cho
Who said I was talking to you?
Pansy
We used to have this fight each night
She'd never admit I existed
Ron
Calm down
Everyone please
Ron finally stepped in between the sparing group.
Ginny
He was the same way - he was always
"run away - hit the road don't commit" you're full of shit!
Snape
Ginny
Pansy
She's in denial
Ginny
He's in denial
Pansy
Didn't give an inch when I gave a mile
Ron
Guys, come on
Ginny
I gave a mile
Draco
Gave a mile to who?
Ron & Snape
Come on guys chill!
Ginny & Pansy
I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Neville had,
someone to live for - unafraid to say I love you
Draco
All your words are nice Ginny but love's not a three-way street
you'll never share real love until you love yourself - I
should know.
Colin
You all said you'd be cool today so please for my sake...
I can't believe he's gone
I can't believe you're going
I can't believe this family must die
Neville helped us believe in love
I can't believe you disagree
ALL
I can't believe this is good-bye
( Back at the flat that Ron and Draco share)
Ron
I hear there are great restaurants out west
Draco
Some of the best, how could she?
Ron
How could you let her go?
Ron couldn't believe his friend was really running leaving Ginny to face it alone.
Draco
You just don't know ... how could we lose Ginny?
Ron
Maybe you'll see why when you stop escaping your pain at least now if you try
Neville's death won't be in vain
Draco's eyes were filled with sorrowful determination at that though. Ron saw it all clearly.
Draco
His death is in vain
Ron
Are you insane? There's so much to care about there's me there's Ginny-
Draco
Ginny's got her baggage too
Ron
So do you
Draco
Who are you to tell me what I know.
What to do
Ron
A friend
Draco
But who Ron are you?
"Ron has got his work" they say
"Ron lives for his work" and
"Ron's in love with his work"
Ron hides in his work
Anger and pained filled Draco's voice and fueled his words.
Ron
From what?
Draco
From facing your failure,
Facing your loneliness, facing the fact you live a lie
Yes, you live a lie tell you why you're always preaching not to be numb
When that's how you thrive you pretend to create and observe
When you really detach from feeling alive
Ron
Perhaps it's because I'm the one of us to survive
Draco
Poor baby
Ron
Ginny still loves you
Are you really jealous or afraid that Ginny's weak?
Draco
Ginny did look pale
Draco
Ginny's gotten thin
Ginny's running out of time
And you're running out the door-
Draco
No more! I've gotta go
Ron
Hey for someone who's always been let down who's heading out of town?
Draco
For someone who longs for a community of his own,
Who's with his camera, alone?
I'll call, I hate the fall
You heard?
Ginny stood outside the door looking pale and weak leaning against the wall to weak to really stand on her own.
Ginny
Every word
You don't want baggage without lifetime guarantees
You don't want to watch me die?
I just came to say goodbye love goodbye love came to say goodbye love,
Goodbye
Ginny
Just came to say
Goodbye love
Goodbye love
Goodbye love
Goodbye
Ginny followed Draco to the stairwell making sure that her words followed him too and ensure that they always would no amount of magic would erase them.
Draco
Glory
One blaze of
Glory
I have to find
Draco sang attempting to drowned her out.
Ginny
Please don't touch me understand
I'm scared I need to go away
Ron
I know a place, a clinic
Snape
A rehab?
Ginny
Maybe could you?
Snape
I'll pay
Ginny
Goodbye love,
goodbye love came to say goodbye love goodbye
just came to say goodbye love goodbye love goodbye love
Hello disease.
She sang out as a tear slid down her face as she watched Draco drive off in a muggle car. Leaving her to face her disease alone.
