Fanfic: I loved her first
Chapter: I loved her first
To be honest, I took this idea from a video on a well-known website. The song is from Heartland and I stole the German translation from another site;).
The main character is Athur Weasley on Ginny and Harry's wedding day. And of course the characters belong to JKR.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------
Watch you two dance
Lost in the moment and in each other's face
So in love alone in this place
As if there was nobody else in the world
Our family has longed for this day, this day when Harry should finally be officially part of our family. I am happy for you, more than I can express it. My little one is marrying the famous Harry Potter and when you announced it to us I cried with happiness and was most proud of these tears. And when my gaze follows you at your wedding dance, I see that you are made for one another.You only see each other and that should be the case on this unique day. When the music is over you beam at me and shout: "Daddy come, the next dance is for the bride's father." I won't be asked twice for that.
[i]I was enough for her, it wasn't long ago
I was her number one
She told me
And to me it still means the world
Weighing in time, I lead you across the floor and my thoughts escape into the past. "Ginny," I say to you, "you've always been my sunshine." And you give me a stunning smile. Child, when did you become a woman that I haven't really noticed until now? I spent hours with you and tried to show you a part of the big world. I mended your doll and drove your brothers away if they played their pranks too badly on you. When did you grow up, I ask myself again as our last dance dies. I don't want to let you go yet.[i]Just so you know
Be careful when you hold my girl
Time changes everything
Life must go on
And I won't stand in your way
The alcohol works, yes I drank one over my thirst. Molly glares at me and I can't help but take you, my son-in-law, aside. "Take good care of her Harry!" I hear myself from far away saying, "She's special." "Sure, Mr. Weasley, you can count on me." is your rehearsed answer, did you know that this conversation would inevitably come your way? "Arthur" I remind you that you should call me by my first name and pat yourself on the shoulder "You have been a son to me for so long." At this moment I get serious "If you hurt her you will wish I can promise you that I wasn't born. " I admonish you. "I love Ginny." Your worried looks are on me and I nod and show you that I understand you.[i]How can this beautiful woman be with you
Be the same freckled kid face that I knew
The one that I've read fairy tales all night long
That I put in bed every night
And I knew when I first saw her with you
It was just a matter of time
Yes, I have to admit it to myself, I knew that it would turn out that you were the one my daughter gives her heart to forever. I don't mean your initial crush, but the summer you spent with us before your actual seventh year of school. I felt the tension between you and also that you weren't together just because of Lord Voldemort's government. I could not overlook her languishing looks, any more than I could not overlook your longing for her. You both need to know that I have never stood in the way of the two of you joining. My joy was sincere and genuine and yet she is the girl who lives in my heart next to her mother and I don't want to lose her.[i]But I loved her first
And I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From your first breath
When she smiled at me for the first time
I knew a father's love goes deep
And I prayed that one day she would find you
But it's still difficult to give away
I loved her first
I am lost listening to your speech in which you mention your friends as well as my wife and me. Ginny do you know Do you know what's going on inside of me After six sons you are my only daughter, my princess and I would like to shout it at Harry: "It was me who held her in my arms for the first time and it was me who gave her her first grin, it was me to him she walked with her first awkward steps and it was me who comforted her at night when she had bad dreams. That was all me! And you are taking her away from me now, how can you do something like that and then look at yourself in the mirror tomorrow ."Yes, I drank too much, but this is the only way I can endure my insides bursting.
[i]From your first breath
When she smiled at me for the first time
I knew a father's love goes deep
One day you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first
I digress more and more and one last time that evening I come up to you and kiss my daughter on the cheek. "Are you feeling well Mrs. Potter?" I carefully explore you and you just nod and cheer "Yes, this is the most beautiful day in my life." Crumpled, I sink into myself and know that everything has to be as it is and yet I wish for your future a daughter so that you can learn to understand me. Being able to feel happiness and unhappiness as much as a father does. "Welcome in the family!" Today I will repeat myself for the twentieth time and invite Molly to the next dance.[i]Always remember, I loved you first!
