This is a companion piece to my story Big Changes, as requested by AlexandreaLily107. I don't think this is what she had in mind, though... But I hope she likes it anyway! I don't own anything but Andromeda, Ember, and Narcissa.
Heavens Lullaby's
"Uncle James!" Eleven year old Andromeda Potter exclaimed, hitting his arm playfully, "Give me my letter back!"
"What letter?" James asked with a smirk, hiding the envelope, that he knew included her Hogwarts acceptance letter in it.
"James, give it a rest," James wife, Ember said with a role of her eyes.
"He has no idea how, Em," James' sister Lily said coming in the room with her six month old daughter, "I swear you better not be like this with Narcissa."
"Oh, I will be," James said with a grin, giving Andromeda her letter back.
"Thank you!" Andromeda said dramatically, looking at her father across the room, "I got my letter, dad!"
"Good for you baby," Teddy said with a smile, "You're mumma would have been proud of you."
The young girl smiled, "Do you really think so? Don't everyone get they're letter when they're eleven?"
"Well yes," Teddy said with a frown, "but none the less."
"You sound like Rose, Andy." Lily said with a laugh putting Narcissa in the play pin for a nap.
Andromeda smirked, "That means I'm smart!"
"No, that means your an annoying know it all," James said lightly pushing his nieces arm.
"Uncle James!" Andromeda complained, "Be nice to Aunt Rose!"
"But where's the fun in that?" James asked with a smile causing his niece to frown at him.
"Come on, Andy, it's time to go, anyway." Teddy said before James could get her riled up, the young girl nodded and followed her father into the fireplace.
***HL***
"Hi, mumma," Andromeda said with a small smile, looking at her mothers tombstone "I got my letter today, and Uncle James was being mean and took it from me, then he insulted Aunt Rose, he's such a big bully. I miss you so much, and I think daddy does too, he's always sad. Can't you send the angels down from heaven and make him happy again? Oh, and give baby Remus a kiss for me and tell him I love him very very much, okay?"
Teddy frowned as he listened to his daughter talk to her mother. It had been two years since Victorie had died due to complications in child birth and his daughter was right, he didn't get over it. He not only lost the love of his life that he knew all of her life, but he lost his son. Sighing, he went over to his daughter and wrapped his arms around her tightly, holding her close they both sang a lullaby.
Glory baby you slipped away as fast as we could say baby…baby..
You were growing, what happened dear?
You disappeared on us baby…baby..
Heaven will hold you before we do
Heaven will keep you safe until we're home with you…
Until we're home with you…
Miss you everyday
Miss you in every way
But we know there's a
day when we will hold you
We will hold you
You'll kiss our tears away
When we're home to stay
Can't wait for the day when we will see you
We will see you
But baby let sweet Jesus hold you
'till dad and sis can hold you…
You'll just have heaven before we do
You'll just have heaven before we do
Sweet little babies, it's hard to
understand it 'cause we're hurting
We are hurting
But there is healing
And we know we're stronger people through the growing
And in knowing-
That all things work together for our good
And God works His purposes just like He said He would…
Just like He said He would…
I can't imagine heaven's lullabies
and what they must sound like
But I will rest in knowing, heaven is your home
And it's all you'll ever know…all you'll ever know…
