Ch3: Superman

One of the twins summoned some parchment and a quill. They were going to find out who this git was. Ginny sighed and realised it would be useless to argue.

Tall, dark, and Superman

He puts papers in his briefcase and flies away,

To save the world or go to work,

It's the same thing to me.

He's got his mothers eyes, his father's ambition.

Remus' suspicions confirmed, he glanced at Harry. When he caught his eye he silently questioned his former student. Harry gave a tiny nod and turned away. It made perfect sense. He didn't want Ginny to be hurt again. He was definitely noble. Meanwhile the brothers were scribbling quickly to keep up.

I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him

I hang on every word that you say

And you smile and say, "How are you?"

I'll say, "Just fine"

I always forget to tell you

I love you, I love you, forever

I watch superman fly away,

You've got a busy day today.

Go save the world, I'll be around.

And I watch superman fly away,

Come back, I'll be with you someday.

I'll be right here on the ground

When you come back down

Tall, dark and beautiful,

He's complicated, he's irrational.

Ron and Hermione burst out laughing.

"That just about sums him up!" Ron said.

"Are you kidding? It's the biggest understatement of the decade!" Ginny smirked and Harry sent mock glares at them all.

"You know who it is!"

"Yeah, I mean we do go to Hogwarts too." Hermione said.

"Ron? Why haven't we heard about him? You'd better have jinxed his sorry arse!" Ron just went red and mumbled something that was incoherent even to Harry and Hermione.

But I hope someday you take me away,

And save the day, yeah.

Something in his deep green eyes has me thinking,

He's not all bad like his reputation.

"What's wrong with his reputation?"

"Let's just say you either love him or you hate him."

And I can't hear one single word they say,

Harry smiled as he thought of all the crazy things people had said about him in the past year or so and how Ginny had managed to ignore it all.

And you leave, got places to be and I'll be okay.

I always forget to tell you I love you.

I loved you from the very first day!

I watch superman fly away,

You've got a busy day today.

Go save the world I'll be around.

And I watch superman fly away,

Come back, I'll be with you someday.

I'll be right here on the ground.

When you come back down.

And I watch you fly around the world,

And I hope you don't save some other girl.

"Never." Harry said quietly. He didn't realise Ron, Hermione and Remus (wolf hearing) could hear him.

Don't forget, don't forget about me.

I'm far away but I'll never let you go,

Her brothers (except Ron) all frowned at this.

I'm lovestruck and looking out the window.

Don't forget, don't forget where I'll be;

Right here, wishing the flowers were from you,

Wishing the card was from you,

Wishing the call was from you.

'Cause I've loved you from the very first day.

"It's the chorus again after that but I can't be bothered to sing it again. Did you figure out who it is?"

The brothers all shook their heads but before they could say anything, Remus, who had been virtually silent until then, spoke up.

"I have."

"How?" Bill said, exasperatedly.

"He was a teacher for a year. He probably knows the students better than we do." Said Fred.

"So far we have; tall, dark, 'saving the world', mother's green eyes, ambitious-"

"Didn't the song say 'father's ambition'?" Bill questioned.

"Yeah but-"

"That could mean two different things: he either inherited the trait or they have the same ambition to do something."

"Oh. Well, carrying on, father's ambition, apparently attractive, he is well known for being complicated and irrational, you either love him or hate him and people talk about him a lot."

"Can you let us choose now?" Said George eagerly.

"Fine."

She handed over the book and after a minute Bill announced: "We would like Better Than Revenge."
