4Sweet Serenade
Summary: Songfic. Some of my favourite pairings sing their hearts out to the ones they love. No curses are involved to make them do this. Or karaoke bars. HPB spoilers!
A/N: Actually, that karaoke bar thing isn't such a bad idea...hmm Ill have to think about that one. But, in essence, when they sing, they're really are speaking, but we hear it (or read it) as song.
Chapter 1: Harry to Ginny
Disclaimer: Dont own a thing. except for my underwear. and socks.
O, and while Im disclaiming stuff, this fanfic does not necessarily reflect on my taste in music. These are merely songs that I thought fit the scene. though I do like most of the songs.
A/N: takes place on Harry and Ginny's "walk" after the Quidditch cup and their kiss. Song, Brighter Than Sunshine, is by Aqualung.
Harry couldn't believe it. There was no way that, after all those months of dreaming, he had finally kissed Ginny Weasley. Never mind she was walking right beside him, holding his hand—this was just too good to be true. "Knut for your thoughts?"Ginny asked, looking up to the bemused expression of Harry's face, as they sat down in the long summer grass on the edge of the lake.
Harry blinked twice, and roused himself from his disbelief to face the beautiful reality beside him.
"Sorry?"
Ginny threw her head back and laughed. Lightly punching him in the shoulder, she repeated herself.
"What're you thinking about? You've been staring into space for the last three minutes, with a crazy grin on your face!" She laughed again, waiting for his answer.
"You really wanna know what I'm thinking? Harry asked, looking at Ginny, one eyebrow raised. She nodded, frowning in puzzlement as he stood up. She could hear a set of drums and guitars playing, and Harry began to sing...
I never understood before
I never knew what love was for
My heart was broke, my head was sore
What a feeling
Tied up in ancient history
I didnt believe in destiny
I look up you're standing next to me
What a feeling
What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
Brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, i don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
And it's brighter than sunshine
I never saw it happening
I'd given up and given in
I just couldn't take the hurt again
What a feeling
I didn't have the strength to fight
Suddenly you seemed so right
Me and you
What a feeling
What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It's brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
It's brighter than the sun
It's brighter than the sun
It's brighter than the sun, sun, shine.
Love will remain a mystery
But give me your hand and you will see
Your heart is keeping time with me
What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It's brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
Ginny was speechless. She didn't know how to respond to such an outpouring of emotion. Frankly, a small part of her was totally surprised, and impressed, at Harry being so eloquent about...his feelings. And those feelings weren't even about Snape or quidditch.
Meanwhile, Harry was looking like he'd just taken his first breath after coming up from underwater. He smiled nervously at her, trying to gage her reaction. Finally, Ginny gave up trying to think of something to say, and threw herself at Harry, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. Harry's arms found their way around her own body, and the two stood there, in the warm June sunshine, satisfied in their silence.
