Author's Notes: I started singing this on my way home from school. Go figure.

Disclaimer: I don't own the song, the characters, or the rooms. I probably don't even own the plot.

Severus Snape crept up to the portrait of the Fat Lady, Lucius Malfoy behind him, smirking. It was Lucius' idea to prove Snape's true Slytherin pride. As such, Lucius dared him to cast several charms of Severus' choice on the Gryffindor Common Room. After Lucius stopped some Gryffindor brat and asked him for the directions to the Gryffindor Common Room and the password, they were on their merry way once ditching their robes.

"Comme si*!" The Fat Lady bowed her head, looking like she was about to fall asleep, and revealed the entrance to the Gryffindor Common Room. Lucius grinned, a true grin, as Severus scrambled in, with Lucius behind him.

Lucius nodded once to Severus, who whipped his wand out. Trying to make himself feel better, Severus began singing under his breath.

"In their room, their Common Room, the lions sleep tonight. In their room, their Common Room, the lions sleep tonight."

Severus strolled over to the windows, charming them so anyone who looked out would see a night time sky, no matter what time of day it was. Sure, it was childish, but he wasn't sure what he should do.

"Near their dorms, their peaceful dorms, the lions sleep tonight. Near their dorms, their peaceful dorms, the lions sleep tonight."

Wand still out, Severus strode over to the couches, where he found a peaceful Lily Evans sleeping, her open Charms book used as a pillow. For a moment, he watched her eyelids flutter as she slept on. Instead of doing any cursing or hexing, he finished his song, while waving his wand for pretend.

"Hush, my darling, don't cry, my darling, your lions sleep tonight." Severus stared at her sleeping form again, "Hush, my darling, sleep on, my darling, your lions sleep tonight." Smiling awkwardly, he watched her for another moment, before waving his wand again for Lucius, and walking back to him, "I'm done."

Lucius nodded, and the two left, with that night never mentioned again.

Author's Notes: When I first came up with this, I didn't plan for it to be this fluffy. Ah well. For those who want to know their ages and such:

Severus, Lily, James, etc: First years.

Lucius: Sixth year.

* = As if in French. It's actually 'Like if.' My French isn't that good yet, so I use a translator. Don't ask me what possessed me to use 'As if' for a password. It randomly came to me. O.0
