Hey all! I apologize for the long time between updates: I'm writing three stories and two essays at once. I actually started writing this instead of my essay in the middle of English and didn't even realize it. AH! Luckily, the teacher didn't see. Anyways, I'm sure you don't want to hear excuses, but I have one more thing to say: THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of my AMAZING REVIEWERS! The response to this story is amazing! Thank you all so much for liking it!

Chapter 5: Love Story

"How about a love story?" Ginny asked, grinning.

"We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eyes and the flashback starts,

I'm standing there

On a balcony in summer air,"

"Wait a moment," Fred said slowly, glancing down the list. Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Harry, George, and Charlie all watched him with baited breath. He furrowed his brow, glanced up, and met Harry's eyes. Nearly everyone in the room saw the click.

"YES!" he cheered, punching the air. Everyone jumped. "You owe me, mate," he added to George, who grumbled something incomprehensible. Ginny raised her eyebrows, but let it go.

"See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.

See you make your way through the crowd and say hello.

Little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles

And my daddy said,

'Stay away from Juliet,'"

Ginny paused to glare at Ron, who glared right back.

"Wait...who's Romeo? Who's Juliet?" Charlie asked, frowning. Hermione's jaw dropped.

"Don't tell me you've never heard of Romeo and Juliet!" she gasped, looking around the room. There was a general shaking of heads by all the Weasleys except for Ginny. "But it's one of the greatest love stories ever written!" Hermione exclaimed, looking scandalized.

"But who are they?" Fred asked. Hermione sighed.

"They're star-crossed lovers whose parents don't want them to be together. In the end, they both commit suicide to be together."

"WHAT?"

"Oh, calm down! I'm not going to commit suicide. Thanks, Hermione," Ginny grumbled. "Now can we get on with the song?" One by one, her brothers slowly nodded.

"And I was crying on the staircase

Begging you, 'Please don't go'

And I said,

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting

All there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a Love Story, baby just say

Yes."

"And what, exactly, are you going to do while you're alone?" Bill asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Shut it. Nothing bad. I just want to talk to him! He's such a noble git, I wish I could make him see the truth," Ginny sighed, shaking her head, her red hair flying across her face. George, Fred, and Charlie all glared at Harry, who ignored them, watching Ginny intently.

"Go on, Ginny," he urged her. She started, but did as he'd asked.

"So I sneak out to the garden to see you

We keep quiet cause we're dead if he knew,

So close your eyes.

Escape this town for a little while,

Oh-oh!"

"He?" George asked, confused. Ginny just shook her head.

"Think about it, George."

"Cause you were Romeo I was a scarlet letter

And my daddy said

'Stay away from Juliet'

But you were everything to me

I was begging you

'Please don't go'

And I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting

All there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a Love Story, baby just say yes

Romeo save me

They're trying to tell me how to feel.

This love is difficult,

But it's real

Don't be afraid we'll make it out of this mess

It's a Love Story, baby just say yes."

"Hang on a second, Gin," Bill said when she paused for breath. "I've got to use the loo." He stood up and left the room.

"I didn't mean this lovey," Fred sighed, leaning back against the couch. "Now that I know who you're talking about." He shot a glare at Harry, who glared right back.

"Well, maybe you don't know why he left her. He could have had a perfectly good reason," Harry answered angrily.

"I'd like to hear it, then," Fred challenged. George snickered.

"Maybe he was trying to keep her safe." The look of shock on every face in the room was amazing.

"Safe...from...oh! That's what you meant, Gin!" George gasped as everything clicked.

"Yes. He wants to keep me safe from V-from You-Know-Who," Ginny sighed. "Noble git that he is."

"I explained myself to you before, Ginny," Harry remarked, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I won't have you in danger because of me."

"I won't be in danger because of you," she retorted.

"Oh? How so?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at her.

"I'll be in danger because of Ron. He's going with you, wherever you're going, I know it. Have you forgotten he's my brother and they're bound to target the family because of that? Not to mention they'll target us anyway because we're the biggest blood traitor family there is. Did you ever think of that, Harry Potter?"

"What's going on in here?" Bill demanded, reappearing in the doorway.

"Nothing," Ginny replied innocently. "But I'm done singing if these are the prats I'm singing to."

There was an instant uproar as every Weasley brother instantly tried to persuade her otherwise. In the midst of it all, Hermione leaned over to Harry, unnoticed.

"Did you never think of that?" she asked her friend quietly. Harry shook his head.

"I'm trying to help her. Why can't she see that?" he demanded, running a hand through his hair.

"I think because the two of you are both hotheaded. And to be honest, Harry, I really think you're doing her more harm than good." Harry opened his mouth to reply, but never got the chance.

"Oh, fine! I'll sing two more, but then I'm done, and Bill, if you haven't figured it out by then, someone else can tell you," Ginny announced. Harry paled.

"So what are you going to sing now, Gin?" Ron inquired. Ginny thought for a moment.

"A question."

Major brownie points if you guess that. Not the best hint I've ever given, but whatever. Oh, did anyone catch my Starkid reference? Five points if you do. Anyways, please review!
