Song about Ginny and Hermione's 'guy-troubles.'

I began writing this a while back, and like the song from yesterday, I finished and recorded it today.

lyrics

I walk into the common room and it's basically empty
Aside from Hermione who sees me and asks "How are you, Ginny?"
I glance up; I think to myself 'Should I lie? I could try' but I look in her eyes and then I just sigh and reply
"I'm frustrated, and I know that this is bloody belated; I feel hated. Remember those feelings about Harry that I earlier stated? Of course you do - I've talked about it constantly to you, through all of last school year and through all summer too. Well, recently for some reason they've been getting stronger and I can't take it any longer; I cannot pretend to saunter. I need him, I love him," I screamed and then my head dropped
My words stopped, my hair flopped in front of my eyes as the words popped
Hermione just stood, shocked; her friend's feelings unlocked
Then up my head cocked and my body slowly rocked
"Ginny," she said, whispering gently, and her eyes staring into mine intently

"Could you let it go if his affections for you do not flow or show even though you feel so low and in woe? If the answer's no, then you have got to hold on, because no matter how long, as long as he is not gone, there's still a chance to advance to romance and enhance every dance and have every other boy's glance look askance in a trance, that's my stance."

Hermione finished, and I noticed her blushing
Her words were rushing and gushing, and her cheeks brightly were flushing
I knew there was something else in her mind
But behind her eyes lined a strange look undefined
And I spoke up to remind, "Hermione, I'm not blind
To you I have confined my feelings because you're always so kind
Why are you in a bind, and why do you look so resigned?
Do you have feelings inside entwined that cannot be aligned?
I hope you do not mind me asking, but it's no use masking
the feelings you have and pretending everything's smashing,
sitting here relaxing and laughing when inside, you're heart's gasping
Grasping for something it's lacking, perhaps it's love long-lasting."
When suddenly a group of guys came downstairs
By us, passing, my brother was in the lead, followed by Seamus and Dean
Some third year I forget the name to and his girlfriend Jean
And a thought so obscene came to my mind as I screened this scene
It was routine, and so commonly seen, but between Hermione and Ron
A glance was shared, her nose, it flared, and Ron just glared.
Hermione stared, then her eyes dropped, scared.
Words were spared, and the argument overall went undeclared
But I wasn't prepared for then Ron looked despaired
Shook off his friends and moodily walked down the stairs
And I glanced at my friend who just looked down at her feet
Her attitude downbeat, trying to act discreet.
And then our eyes did meet, and I felt a heat
And I suddenly realized why she felt so incomplete
And I began to speak, but she just shook her head
I saw a tear shed, and she got up and fled to her bed
I almost stopped her; instead, inside I felt a dread
And replayed, in my mind, what my friend had said

"Could you let go if his affections for you do not flow or show even though you feel so low and in woe? If the answer's no, then you have got to hold on, because no matter how long, as long as he is not gone, there's still a chance to advance to romance and enhance every dance and have every other boy's glance look askance in a trance, that's my stance."

My heart then fluttered, my head, heavy and cluttered
And quietly to myself I uttered, "Give her some time and she will be fine."
And though that was spoken, she just looked so broken.
The next time I saw her, her eyes were red and swollen
And she just said, "No matter how hopeless, my heart will remain focused with it's emotion ferocious, and I'll be his closest friend and one day he'll notice."
I just nodded my head; what else could be said?
I love Harry, but no more tears will be shed
Because just like Hermione loves my brother
I know, in my heart, there will never be another
There's no way in Hell I could ever love any other
And until they know, I guess we both have to suffer

"Could you let it go if his affections for you do not flow or show even though you feel so low and in woe? If the answer's no, then you have got to hold on, because no matter how long, as long as he is not gone, there's still a chance to advance to romance and enhance every dance and have every other boy's glance look askance in a trance, that's my stance."

"Could you let go if his affections for you do not flow or show even though you feel so low and in woe? If the answer's no, then you have got to hold on, because no matter how long, as long as he is not gone, there's still a chance to advance to romance and enhance every dance and have every other boy's glance look askance in a trance, that's my stance."

"Could you let him go if his affections for you do not flow or show even though you feel so low and in woe? If the answer's no, then you have got to hold on, because no matter how long, as long as he is not gone, there's still a chance to advance to romance and enhance every dance and have every other boy's glance look askance in a trance, Ginny, believe me, that's my stance."
