Save the Best For Last

This is the theme song from the movie – When Ron met Hermione.  Well, it would be, if there was a movie about Ron and Hermione – I’ll add that to my list of things to do!  I haven’t changed the words, but I have added the scenes.

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise

*FLASHBACK*

Ron and Herm in Charms, in the middle of June, Hermione has just conjured up some snow, and there’s one of those pauses where you think they’re going to kiss, and they don’t and you’re prepared to kill them (only, of course, we couldn’t, as we love both of them, and need to see them together)

Cause there was a time when all I did was wish,
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough

*PRESENT*

Ron and Hermione together, Draco has just insulted Hermione, and Ron jumps to her defence, Draco asks why Ron is bothering with a Mudblood, and Ron says ‘Because I love her,’

And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place?
Just when I thought a chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

*PRESENT*

 Ron turns to Hermione, and there is an inevitable kiss moment.

All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you

*FLASHBACK* 

The Yule Ball, Ron asking everybody but Hermione, and then lamenting to her when he can’t get a date.

Cause how could you keep your love from everyone
yet share your dreams with me
Sometimes of everything you're looking for
It's the one thing you can't see

*FLASHBACK* 

Various Ron and Hermione moments from the books.

But now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place?
Just when I thought a chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

Sometimes of everything you're looking for
It's the one thing you can't see

(Instrumental)

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
Just when I thought a chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

You went and saved the best for last

Fades out with Ron and Hermione leaving the confrontation, Ron’s arm around Hermione.
