Okies...it's currently sometime early in the morning and i am determined to get this up before I go to school. This has been living inside my notebook for two years, prolly the first HP ficcie I ever, ever wrote. I wrote it um.... two years ago? ask stephen, he'd prolly remember better. he's the only one besides yours truly that has read this. This ain't that great but.. *shrugs* It was my first. Just a meager dosage of good fluff.
Disclaimer:none of these characters are mine, I just took a few creative liberties with them. ^_^* oh yeah, and the poem isn't mine either
"Don't Go Back To Sleep"
"The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you,"
I awoke to a breeze blowing over me ever so gently. I looked around and saw my curtains were open. I walked over to the window. Dawn was approaching. I looked out to the night and felt that I had to go and find something. Someone was trying to tell me something.
"Don't go back to sleep."
I crept to my trunk and slowly pulled out my invisibility cloak. Carefully, I made my way out of the dormitory. I paused in the Common Room, and listened. 'I thought I heard something... oh well, must've been the wind.' I leave the castle through the Front Doors. I walk amongst the grounds and hear it again, that noise. This time it's clearer. "Harry... Harry...", whispers the wind. I follow it to the lake. I gaze into its depths pondering.
"You must ask for what you really want,"
I gaze towards the swiftly approaching dawn. It is so near that there's only one star in the sky. I make a wish.
'Star light,
Star bright.
Last star,
I'll see tonight,
I wish I may,
I wish I might,
Have this wish I wish tonight.'
"Don't go back to sleep."
I look at the forest, just listening to the night dwellers' song.
"People are going back & forth across the doorsill."
My eyes turn back to the simmery lake, where I see glimpses of silver out of the corner of my eye. I can make out figures, they look like people. Ghosts?
"Where two worlds touch."
I see two of the figures becoming clearer, and they begin to move towards me. As they come closer, I see that one is a man and the other is a woman.
"Mum? Da?"
"The door is round and open."
"Hello Harry, we've missed you so.", said James Potter. All that came from Lily were a few happy tears.
"How come you're here?", I asked of my parents.
"Our two worlds touch only at dawn and twilight.", answered Lily. "I've missed you so much. We can see from above, but it's not the same as this. Sorry I woke you."
"It's alright Mum. I'm just glad I get to see you."
"Harry, can I sing you to sleep? I haven't done that in so long."
"Okay Mum."
"Don't go back to sleep."
If anyone had looked out their window that morn, they would have seen a very happy family. Two simmering figures bent over a human, and one of the figures was singing a most enchanting song. 'I guess my wish came true...'
How did you like it? This is my first time using html for writing. oh joy, so it's probably gonna be screwed up. I'll fix it if it needs it. The poem is from I book I read a long time ago, I'll try to find it's title. Okay. I'll post more later when I get home from school.
