Hi! I am SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSO sorry for not updating sooner! Aside from a crazy life and entirely too much homework, I've been juggling writing two stories at once, and as my other one just got interesting, most of my efforts have been in that one. But I've had this written awhile, I simply forgot to post it. My apologies once more. This is the chapter you've all been waiting for! Hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: Don't own characters, which are Rowling's, the song, which is Taylor Swift's, nor the idea, which is xxtotallyinsanexx's. Wow, I really don't own anything, do I?
Chapter 7: Superman
"Tall, dark, and Superman, he
Puts papers in his briefcase and drives away.
To save the world, or go to work.
It's the same thing to me,"
Ginny gave a small smile, shrugged, and shook her head. Harry suppressed a smile from the floor.
"He's got his
Mother's eyes, his father's ambition.
I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him?
I'll hang on every word you say.
And you'll smile and say, 'How are you?'
And I'll say, 'Just fine'.
I always forget to tell you I love you
I'll love you
Forever!
I watched Superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
Go save the world, I'll be around.
And I watched Superman fly away
Come back, I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here, on the ground,
When you come back down."
"This is perfect for you two!" Hermione gushed as Ginny paused for a moment. Everyone raised their eyebrows at her. "What?" she asked defensively. "It is!"
"I wrote it, Hermione," Ginny replied, biting her lip to keep from laughing.
"I know that! I was simply...oh, never mind, I give up! Just keep singing, Ginny," Hermione huffed, crossing her arms.
"Tall, dark, and beautiful, he's
Complicated, he's irrational, but I hope
Someday he'll take me away
And save the day, yeah.
Something in his bright green eyes-"
"Wait, what?" Bill asked, his eyebrows shooting up. Ginny was simply silent. "Green eyes?" Once more, he received no answer. Instead, he merely looked at the one green-eyed boy in the room. The boy who was currently staring at the carpet as though it was the most interesting thing in the universe.
"Don't say a word, Fred," Ginny burst out suddenly, glaring at Fred, who hastily shut his mouth. Bill, meanwhile, was looking from one to the other.
"Hah. So it's-"
"CAN I FINISH MY SONG NOW?" Ginny shrieked, losing her temper quite suddenly. All six boys in the room jumped backward.
"Please do," Hermione answered meekly.
"Has me sayin,
'He's not all bad like his reputation'
And I can't hear one single word they say
And you'll leave, got places to be and I'll be OK.
I always forget to tell you I love you
I loved you from the very first day
I watched Superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
Go save the world, I'll be around.
And I watched Superman fly away
Come back, I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here, on the ground,
When you come back down."
Since all of her brothers had pretty much figured it out, Ginny winked at Harry as she sang. He smiled back, but then looked away. Ginny sighed. Harry was wonderful and amazing and she loved him to death, but he really was pretty thick.
"And I watch you fly around the world
And I hope you don't save some other girl;
Don't forget, don't forget!
About me, yeah...
I'm far away, but I'll never let you go.
I'm lovestruck, and looking out the window,
Don't forget, don't forget!
Where I'll be..."
"I won't," Harry whispered softly, looking up to meet Ginny's eyes. She smiled. She knew he wouldn't, but did he really have to leave?
"Right here wishing the flowers were from you.
Wishing the card was from you.
Wishing the call was from you...
Cause I loved you from the very first day!
I watched Superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
Go save the world, I'll be around.
Forever and ever, yeah!
And I watched Superman fly away
Come back, I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here, on the ground,
When you come back down.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la
When you come back down,"
Ginny finished her song with her eyes happy, something her brothers hadn't seen in a long time. That didn't stop them being angry, though.
"Right, then, Harry," Bill began, standing up and stretching. Harry and Ginny's eyes snapped to him.
"Yes?" Harry asked, trying to sound confident. But really, Ginny's brothers were a force to be reckoned with. He had a right to be scared.
"I think it's time we teach you what happens to a bloke who," he paused and grabbed the list. "Makes our sister cry, promises her something he doesn't keep, then gives her the time of day and leaves her."
Ginny's mouth fell open. "You're kidding, right?" All the boys ignored her. Harry gulped.
"And what, exactly, might you do to this bloke?" he inquired, slowly getting to his feet.
"We might tease him mercilessly for the rest of his days," George replied, standing also.
"Or we might beat the crap out of him," Charlie finished, rolling up his sleeves. Hermione gasped and Ginny's mouth dropped open even wider as Fred, George, Bill, and Charlie advanced on Harry.
So, as you can see, this story is not quite over yet. I'm thinking maybe two, three more chapters? Depends on how the rest of it plays out. Please leave me a review!
