Chapter Four: Godspeed Little Man
Harry walked into his room, his eyes trying to stay awake. Lily helped him climb in his bed. She was humming to herself. Something clicked in Harry's mind. Whatever she was humming was familiar.it felt as though memories were flooding back into his mind.
"Mom?"
"Yes, honey?"
"What are you humming?" She smiled and looked down at him, but he could almost see something sad behind her eyes.
"Your lullaby, darling. I used to sing it to you when you were a baby. It put you to sleep every night." She pulled the covers over him. Longing filled Harry. He needed to hear it. It would help him remember.he wanted to remember whatever was stuck in his mind.
"Can you sing it for me?" She knelt down by his bed and Harry closed his eyes. She took his hand in hers and rubbed his hair.
Dragon tales and the "water is wide"
Pirates sail and lost boys fly
Fish bite moonbeams every night
And I love you
Godspeed little man
Sweet dreams little man Oh, my love will fly to you each night
On angel's wings
Godspeed.
Sweet dreams.
The rocket racers all tuckered out
Supermans in pajamas on the couch
Goodnight moon will find the mouse
And I love you
Godspeed little man
Sweet dreams little man
Oh, my love will fly to you each night
On angel's wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams.
God bless mommy and matchbox cars
God bless dad and thanks for the stars
God hears "Amen" wherever we are
And I love you
Godspeed little man
Sweet dreams little man
Oh, my love will fly to you each night
On angel's wings
Godspeed.
Godspeed.
Godspeed.
Sweet dreams
Lily glanced up, tears of joy slowly rippling in her eyes. Harry was fast asleep.her little boy.she had missed him so much. Oh, how she had longed to hold him like she was holding him now. Her little boy.
A baby with tufts of jet-black hair giggled with glee as he was twirled about in the air. He held on tight to his mother as she brought his back down.
"Was that fun my little boy?" The sun glittered down on them, hitting all the different red hues in her hair. They sat down and Lily drank a sip of lemonade. Harry rolled around on the blanket. Suddenly...
"BOO!" Lily jumped, lemonade spraying everywhere. She whirled around.
"JAMES POTTER!"
"It's your turn!" He took her and twirled her around in his arms. They fell to the ground, their shrieks of laughter filling the clear blue air. James stroked her hair and kissed her gently. They both looked up as they heard Harry giggling again. He was kicking his arms and legs as his tummy was being tickled. Remus laughed as Harry grabbed his fingers. Sirius swept Harry in his arms.
"Don't I deserve sometime with Harry? I am his godfather after all!" Remus laughed harder as Sirius ran Harry out to the lush green field. He took out a purple ball, which he rolled to Harry. Harry wobbled as he stood up. Remus gasped.
"LILY! JAMES! Look at Harry!" he screamed to them as he ran near Sirius. James and Lily laughed as they all stood, holding out their hands as Harry began to walk towards them. Harry walked slowly, the purple ball lying forgotten in the grass. His little face was screwed with concentration as he made his way to his family. He reached his father who kissed him on the cheek. Tears formed in Lily's eyes, and Sirius and Remus couldn't stop dancing around.
"Good job Harry! You're the smartest baby alive! You'll be running and jumping in no time." James said squeezing Harry. "That's a Potter for you!" They all walked back to the blanket and. Remus sat Harry on his lap and bounced him around.
"Isn't it amazing?" he said, a smile spread across his face. "It seems just yesterday he was born. And now he's learning to walk and talk!"
"Yeah, time really flies. In a strange bizarre way I kinda miss staying up all night with him." James said holding Lily in his arms. She nodded her head in agreement.
"I know what you mean honey. But he walked! He finally walked! It's a shame Peter couldn't join us. He would have loved to see this. Plus, picnics were always one of his favorite things to do."
"When I asked him he said he had something important to do. Ran off. Been acting a bit weird lately, hasn't he?" Sirius said softly, worry in his words.
"Well, lets enjoy our free time." James said trying to lighten the mood. He grabbed Harry. "Lets go play big boy!" With that he ran back out into the field with Harry and huge bubbles in an array of colors began to float out of his wands. Harry caught them and they popped in his hand. Soon the air was thick with them all sparkling different colors, slowly drifting up into the sky. They all danced around in them.the sun smiling merrily down on them.
Harry opened his eyes. He was bundled tightly in his covers. Everything felt so warm and cozy. He saw the sun slowly starting to rise into the sky. He yawned and let himself fall asleep.
A/N: Sorry it was so short, but I felt the story needed its love and comic relief. I hope you think the lullaby fit, I thought it did, PLEASE R&R! Au Revoir!
P.S.: This is what my sister wrote when she beta read this chapter (read it before I updated it) and she felt it would be funny. DISCLAIMER: THE WHOLE MONKEY AND TEAPOT THING IS HERS ONLY! PLEASE DON'T COPY IT! Anyway I thought it would be funny to add. Here it is:
I like this very much! Even though it's a Harry Potter story, I liked it. You should gets lots of reviews on this chapter and if you don't I'll send my army of pink flying monkeys singing "I'm A little Teapot" to smite them all!
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA * starts coughing * ** ahem * HAHAHAHAHAHA!
