Quicksilver
They say that death is the only cure for lycanthropy.
We never learned much about Mrs. Lupin, did we?
Close your eyes, darling
Shut those heavy lids
Fringed with lace lashes
And ghostly freckles
On your white white cheeks
There's blood under your nails
Close your eyes, sweetheart
You've had a very busy night
And it is the dreaming time
Twixt moonset and dawnbreak
That this must be done
For you will wake momentarily
Close your eyes, little one
Rest and curl your tiny hands
Around the blankets I made once
Defile them with your precious
Hands that will claw and kill
'Ere you are much older
Close your eyes, darling
I'll promise this won't hurt much
A stab and a thrust
Of this shiny thing made just for you
And you will be dead to the world
As you were long since dead to me
Close your eyes, my son
For I shall kill you before morning
