A/N: I don't own Harry Potter. Happy reading.
Lullaby
"Oh, my
beautiful baby boy. I love you so much." Lily Potter whispered
into her baby sons ear. "Oh, Harry. Your going to grow up big
and strong. Just like your daddy." Lily held the sleeping baby
to her chest, looking over at her sleeping husband, just barely
visible in the pale light of the living room. Harry made a gurgling
sound, turned his head, then started sleeping peacefully again. Lily
smiled down at her baby. Her heart melting. "I wish you could
stay like this forever." The young mother stuck her nose in her
baby's hair, kissing his head. From the couch James sighed in his
sleep, turning away from Lily. Suddenly caught up in the moment Lily
started singing a lullaby her mother used to sing to her when she was
little.
Tired on her feet she moved from the middle of the room
to the rocking chair by the couch. Lily didn't know why but she felt
this night was important. And as she thought, she sang and cried.
When she got to the part of the lullaby she couldn't remember she
held Harry close, careful not to smash his sleeping form, and got up.
Lily moved from the living room up the stairs into Harry's nursery,
putting him in his crib. "I love you Harry. I promise I'll
always be here for you. No matter what." Lily walked to the door
frame, turned around, and smiled at her son, blowing him a kiss. When
Lily walked back down stairs James was sitting up on the couch
rubbing his face.
"Afternoon, Love." Lily smiled at the
man in front of her. He smiled back."Harry already in
bed?"
"Yes. And so should we. It's 10:00." James
got up from the couch, rubbing his back, and walked up to Lily
kissing her briefly.
"Okay. But Sirius said he'd come by."
Lily gave her husband that, you-go-to-bed look she'd been perfecting
sense 4th year. "All right, I'm going." Lily smiled. And
James, in spite of himself, did to. As they made their way up the
stairs they herd a knock at the door. Lily made to go answer the door
but James held her back. "I'll get it. You look beet. Go to
bed."
"Thanks James." She gave James a light kiss
on the cheek. James started back down the stairs, going to answer the
knock. Lily sat down on the stairs, hoping to listen in on James and
Sirius' latest plan. When she didn't hear any 'hellos' or 'stupid
prats' she got worried. Lily started to stand up when she herd some
struggling. Then James yelled;
"Lily, get out over here!
He's here Lily! He's here! Get Harry and get out! I lo-" Then
nothing. With out even thinking Lily ran up the stairs into Harry
room.
"Oh, Harry! Oh, Harry! What am I going to do?"
Harry was now awake and standing in his crib. Lily walked over to
Harry's crib and stroked his head. "I'm so sorry Harry. I'm so
sor-"
