Valentine's Day

In the spirit of Gilderoy Lockhart's excessive regard for the holiday, here is a parody of James Taylor's Carolina in My Mind in which Ron spills his guts to Harry about his feelings for Hermione. Enjoy!

It's High Time

It's high time I go and tell Hermione
Just how much I love her.
I can't stop thinking of her.
I wish that I could smother her
With kisses. When will I
Have the guts to tell Hermione? It's high time.

Harry, she's the only one.
Can you tell the way my heart is pinin'?
Hear it pounding like a drum.
I wish I could be good at this; I'm tryin'...
Oh, when will I tell Hermione? It's high time.

I wonder if she's really blind
To how I feel when she's around.
She has such a clever mind.
Has she guessed my deep desire? I'm dyin'
To just go and tell Hermione. It's high time.

It's high time I go and tell Hermione
Just how much I love her.
I can't stop thinking of her.
I wish that I could smother her
With kisses. When will I
Have the guts to tell Hermione? It's high time.

Harry, it's just not right
There's no defense against a fella fallin'
Into love at second sight.
Back when we first met, how could I know then?
Oh, when I go, I'll tell Hermione it's high time.

When that Granger was a stranger still, she found me
Acting like a dolt, a goof, a goon,
And it seems I'll be an imbecile forever.
Can she forgive me
When I go and tell Hermione? It's high time.

It's high time I go and tell Hermione
Just how much I love her.
I can't stop thinking of her.
I wish that I could smother her
With kisses. When will I
Have the guts to tell Hermione? It's high time.

Wonderful as always, Erin! And yes, Valentine's Day is quite the HP holiday, isn't it? I think my favorite Valentine moment is the dwarf-o-gram smitten Ginny sends to Harry in his first year. But I also love the awful first (and last) date with Cho at the fluffy, confetti-infested coffeeshop in Hogsmeade...Madame Pudifoot's, where Hogwarts students go to snog! ;-)

Hehe, yes, those certainly are memorable moments! I think the dwarf probably takes the cake for me too... I was glancing through that chapter today, and I just love the reaction of the other teachers:

"Harry could see a muscle going in Professor McGonagall's cheek. Snape looked as though someone had just fed him a large bbeaker of Skele-Gro."

"Professor Flitwick buried his face in his hands. Snape was looking as though the first person to ask him for a Love Potion would be force-fed poison."

LOL!

Hee! Now I want to read that chapter again myself!

Oh, and I should edit my comment above (and would if they would let me!) to say that it was GINNY's first year, not Harry's. Whoops!

The more I think about it, the more I realize how much I love Chamber of Secrets! It's got some of the funniest moments in the series, I think!

I don't think Harry will ever let Ginny live down that romantically botched moment in their early history. At least I know I wouldn't! I hope they will be laughing about it together when they're old and gray!
