This is a Songfic to Josh Groban's Lullaby. This is the 4th in my Songfic Series Awake. All song lyrics belong to the ahmazing Josh Groban and all characters to the fantabulous J K Rowling.
Enjoy.
Hush now baby don't you cry
Molly Weasley stood, stoic, between her two remaining children, Ginny and Ron. With them stood Ron's wife, Hermione, their twings and three adoptive sons, Molly's orphaned granddaughter- the only child of her eldest deceased son, Bill, Neville Longbottom, single parent of a six year old boy, and Severus Snape.
Rest your wings my butterfly
Too many children, Molly buried too many children. Her second oldest child was being buried at that moment. She gave birth to seven children. Now she only had two. Four died in battle, one left the family years ago. Charlie died of a broken heart.
Peace will come to you in time
Once Charlie's soul mate, Harry Potter, died in battle, giving his life, Charlie spent five years restless. Molly soothed him, she tried. Night after night he laid on his bed, hiding under pillows. She sat there, rubbing his back, whispering quietly to him.
And I will sing this lullaby
She couldn't lie to him though. What was she to say? Harry wasn't coming back.
Know though I must leave, my child
That I would stay here by your side
As Ginny's body racked with sobs, and tears dripped down Ron's nose, molly struggled to admit that she couldn't live in the sorrows of death when the need of her family here was so strong. How could she leave? She failed Charlie.
And if you wake before I'm gone
Remember this sweet lullaby
As they threw flowers across the newly erected monument, Molly guided everyone back, never letting the tears that threatened spill.
And all love through darkness
Don't you ever stop believing
Oh, how she wished Charlie could have seen how they all still cared. He may not have had a lot of family left, but they would have been the light to guide him. Molly just couldn't get through.
With love forlorn
Molly was worn, and she was tired. The years were taking their toll on her. Life was forlorn. But she tried.
With love you'll find your way
My love
All that went to Charlie's memorial lived together in Hogwarts now. They all lost everything, and almost everyone they held close to them. Together, they would find away to live. Charlie couldn't, but they had to.
The world has turned the day to dark
Night was always in her mind. Molly was trying. She woke each day, cooked and cleaned. She did all she needed to do. Life went on in the five years after Voldemort's defeat. Life will go on still.
I leave this night with heavy heart
The Burrow was empty. Molly had taken down her clock five years ago. Too many of the hands pointed to dead. With heavy hearts, they all packed up and went to Hogwarts. Molly's heart dropped to the floor as Ginny told what happened earlier that week.
When I return to dry your eyes
I will sing this lullaby
Molly bent over, wiping the tears off of Ginny's face. She gave a small smile as she wrapped her arms around the two she now held onto more than ever before and led them into the castle.
"How about a bit of tea, loves?"
She tightened her hold, almost as if they would disappear. They'd be alright.
Yes I will sing this lullaby
They'd be alright.
