Only Time
By- ainaak ka-lyrra
Lily's eyes were soft as she cradled her year old son in her arms. Harry stared up at her with his large green eyes. She could tell he was tired by nothing she or James did helped. "Why don't you sing to him". James suggested from behind her. A thoughtful look came to her face. "Which one should I sing?". she asked. James shrugged, making Lily roll her eyes.
Which soon lit up. She knew a perfect song to sing, it was one her mother used to sing to her and Petunia when they had been younger. "I've got it, I'll sing a song by the name Only Time". She said smiling. James looked at her in curiosity.
(Only Time- By- Enya)
"Who can say where the road goes,
Where the day flows?
Only time...
And who can say if your love grows,
As your heart chose?
Only time...
(chants)
Who can say why your heart sighs,
As your love flies?
Only time...
And who can say why your heart cries,
When your love dies?
Only time...
(chants)
Who can say when the roads meet,
That love might be,
In your heart.
And who can say when the day sleeps,
If the night keeps all your heart?
Night keeps all your heart...
(extended chants)
Who can say if your love grows,
As your heart chose?
Only time...
And who can say where the road goes,
Where the day flows?
Only time...
Who knows?
Only time...
Who knows?
Only time..."
Lily smiled down on her baby boy who's eyes had finally fluttered shut. James held her tighter against his chest, and they both stared out the window, they were happy but why did a sense of foreboding tension envelope them?

16 years later-
Harry stared out at the Forbidden Forest, which seemed to glow darkly under the moonlight. He listened quietly to the song that always lulled him to sleep at night. And he wondered about how life would be after the war, after he killed Voldemort. He looked back and smiled when he saw Hermione reading, Hogwarts a history and Ron playing chess by himself. Harry left his place by the window and sat across from Ron, and both of his best friends look up at him and returned his smile.
Who knew what would happen?
Only Time...
The End.

A/N - This is just an idea that popped into my head a day or two ago. At the beginning the foreboding tension they were feeling was Voldemort attacking them, it was the day before Halloween. I might just update More Than Infinity and A Scorpion's Quest for Life and Death today or tomorrow if I get around to typing the chapters up. Review Please.
