Riddle Lullaby
My first Harry Potter fanfic :D hope it turns out all right. The songs Mordreds lullaby by Heather Dale, I tweaked it up a little so it'll fit more.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
(Break)
Merope Riddle…no Gaunt. Laid there crouched on the ground holding her son Tom, waiting for the orphanage people to come.
"Hush child." She sang in serpents tong, to her beautiful son. "The Darkness will rise and carry you down into sleep, Child The Darkness will rise and carry you down into sleep."
She could tell he was going to be great. He was going to succeed where she failed. He'd show his father how wrong he was. Merope's little boy was Salazar's heir, he was meant for great things. "My only son, I'll shape your belief, and you'll always know that your father's a thief. And you won't understand the cause of your grief, but you'll always follow the voices beneath." Merope hummed for a little bit before continuing.
"Loyalty loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty only to me."Merope looked around franticly swearing, she heard someone singing with her. She remembered where she was suddenly and why. "Guileless son, your spirit will hate him, your father that betrayed us And you will expose his puppet behavior, For this place is the proof of how he betrayed my loyalty."
"Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty only to me."This time Merope didn't notice the voices, she was growing extremely weak. "Hush, child ,Darkness will rise from the deep, And carry you down into sleep, child, the darkness will ,rise from the deep, And carry you down into sleep."
Finally the people who worked for the orphanage came out.
Merope smiled sadly, in the end she still loved her sons father. "His names Tom Marvolo Riddle…I hope he is handsome like his father."
(11 years later.)
A peace of what's left of Merope, watched as her son got his first wand. She was so proud of him. She wished she could tell him. He was strong unlike her, he would go far.
"Guileless son, Each day you grow older, Each moment I'm watching my vengeance unfold, For the child of my body, the flesh of my soul, Will die in returning the birthright he stole""Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty only to me." The dark vioces sang with her tauntingly.
She watched him leave, for Hogwarts. For once feeling…truly happy.
"Hush, child, The darkness will rise from the deep, And carry you down into sleep, Child, the darkness will rise from the deep, And carry you down into sleepQueitly she finished her song unsure if her son, had realized she was there or not…
