hello, from the writer. I just thought I should make a song-fic. to Harry Potter. and actually I quite liked the lyrics I got, when I tried making the song H.P.-proof. So I wrote a story to it. just for background!
Hope you like! Reviews greatly apreciated!
"Mum, mum? I can't sleep. Can you sing me something?" little Lily asked her mother one cold winters night.
"We'll just tuck you up in bed and then, I'll sing you a song my mother liked to sing me. Yes? Just hop back upstairs."
The little girl smiled an scuttled out of the kitchen.
"Well Hayle, you had better go get the little monster back to bed, wont you." George Weasley looked up from his Daily Prophet, grinning.
Hayle snorted and slowly followed the girl up a flight of stairs into a bedroom decorated with nature themes of unusual kind. Flaming birds, dragons, unicorns, winged horses and a range of other strange creatures moved on the walls.
The small girl was already burried under her blanket looking expectantly up at her mother.
Who sat on one side of Lilys bed and started humming.
"Beneath the Willow the Womping Willow,
the werewolf sleeps tonight.
Beneath the Willow the Womping Willow
the werewolf sleeps tonight."
A baby girl with black hair lay in the arms of her red-haired mother, who was rocking back and forth singing to the sleeping child.
"Near the Village, the Hogsmeade village,
the castle sleeps tonight.
Near the Village, the wizard village,
the calste sleeps tonight."
But
"In the arms of the singing mother,
the baby sleeps tonight.
In the arms of the loving mother,
the baby sleeps tonight."
Hayle had not forgotten this song, her own mother Lily Potter had sung to her so long ago.
She sang it to her children often. If or when they needed a song to go to sleep they usually meant her to sing this particular song.
"In the forrest, forbidden forrest,
centaurs rest tonight.
In the forrest, forbidden forrest,
centaurs rest tonight."
She heard her mother sing. And so she started singing.
"Close your eyes dear, and sweety don't fear,
the darkness or the night.
Close your eyes dear, and sweety don't fear,
the darkness or the night.
In the prison, the wizard prison,
Death Eaters sleep tonight.
In the prison, the wizard prison,
Death Eaters sleep tonight..."
The girl was already asleep, but still he sang on.
"Hush my darling, don't fear my darling,
I'll keep you save tonight.
Hush my darling, don't fear my darling,
I'' keep you save tonight... and forever too." she whispered.
Then she stood up, bent down to kiss her daughter on the forhead and tiptoed out of the room.
She yawned. When she fell into bed later she snuck a goodnightkis from George and fell asleep imediately-a deep, dreamless sleep. Her mother protecting her in her sleep.
Well, I hope you like it! You get a bonu if you guess which ong I manipulated and wrote some nice new (and way better) lyrics to.
Hoping to read y'all soon!
