Flashlight

Flashlight

Hey now all you sinner
Put your lights on
put your lights on
Hey now all you lovers
Put you lights on
put your lights on

Harry Potter woke with a start. He was having the same dream, the one with the flash of green light and the menacing laughter. He searched through his cupboard for the small flashlight he had taken from the pantry years ago when the dreams started. He pressed the little button and his "room" was bathed in a comforting glow. All he wanted was to hear his mother's voice again hear somebody say I love you Harry.

But Harry would never here his mother or father say those words, they died in a car crash. Harry didn't know how the crash happened but he knew a very bad man had done something, who else could laugh like that?


Hey now all you killers
Put you lights on
put you lights on
Hey now all you children
Leave your lights on
leave you lights on

Harry curled up into a ball, snuggling the flashlight closer to him. Harry always worried that the bad man from his dreams would come after him someday. He could here his rasping voice, "I'll get you Harry, your mommy and daddy can't help you now."


Because there's a monster living under my bed
Whispering in my ear
There's an angel with a hand on my head
She says I've got
nothing to fear

He worried but he felt a little better as he assured himself that there was no bad man. His mom and dad died in a car accident nobody caused it. As he repeated this to himself, Harry felt a warm wind breeze by and he drifted off to sleep.


There's a darkness deep in my soul
I still got a purpose to serve
So let your lights shine,
into my home
God don't let me lose my nerve

Harry often thought of running away, nobody would care if he did. But whenever he thought this way he remembered his mom and dad and just wanted to stay with his aunt and uncle in case they ever came back, which he knew they wouldn't. Still he felt he had to stay and grow up to make them proud.

Hey now all you sinners
Put you lights on,
put you lights on
Hey now, all you children
Leave your lights on you better leave your lights on

Even after Harry turned off his flashlight the room stayed lit. Only this time it was with a warm blue light that just made him feel safe.


Because there's a monster living under my bed
Whispering in my ear
There's an angel with a hand on my head
She says I've got
nothing to fear
She says, whooo-ahha hey la la,
you shine like stars
Whoo-aohaha hey la la,
you shine like stars
And fade away.

Lily Potter looked down on the form of her sleeping son, wishing that she could hold him, kiss it and make everything all right. Instead she just stoked his head with her crystalline hand and whispered, "Happy 5th birthday Harry, mommy loves you," and she disappeared.

Sappy I know, it just sort of wormed its way into my brain and wouldn't let go!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you didn't know the song is "Put your lights on by Santana and Everlast. Harry, Lily and the bad man belong to J.K.R.
