Title: My Lullaby

Summary: Snape checks on his godson.

Author's Note: I'd like to start off by saying thank you to RohanianRidr, Mentalmentos, KatieER, xoxfuzzycatxox, FredandGeorgefan0350, Lil'hp fan124, Aperfectattitude, Hoofin' It, and Liviafan1. Thanks to you all, your support means a lot. And as requested by Mentalmentos, I have now submitted to you all and bowed to you thirteen times. So review and more bowing will come.


Snape flooed into the Syltherin common room, and was surprised to see that no one was in the room. Glancing at a clock on the far wall, he noticed that it was pretty late. Assuming that all the students were asleep, he walked to Draco's private dorms. That's right, private dorms, he is a Malfoy after all. Opening the door, he strode into the dark room and noticed that Draco was indeed asleep. Turning to leave he heard Draco's voice.

"Severus, is that you?" The blond boy asked sleepily. Snape didn't even notice as the music filled the room.

"Hush, my godson; you must be exhausted." The Potions Master, tucked Draco in and left the room.

"Sleep, my little Draco, let your dreams take wing. One day when you're big and strong, you will be a king ." Snape sang the song quietly, as to not wake the students and left through the portrait hole.

"I've been exiled, persecuted, left alone with no defense. When I think of what that brute did
I get a little tense." Severus was singing, but he didn't mind, now that he was away from everyone.

"But I dream a dream so pretty, that I don't feel so depressed. 'Cause it soothes my inner Slytherin, and it helps me get some rest." As Snape sang he didn't know that three silent Gryffindors were following him, trying to get back to their common room without being seen.

"The sound of Potter's dying gasp, his Weasley squealing in my grasp, his bookworm's mournful cry, that's my lullaby." The Headmaster of Slytherin sighed as the happy thoughts flowed through his head and walked down the hall, still not aware of the Golden Trio's presence.

"Now the past I've tried forgetting and my foes I could forgive. Trouble is I knows it's petty, but I hate to let them live." The former Head Boy of Slytherin sneered at the thoughts now taking over his mind.

"So you found yourself somebody, who'd chase Harry up a tree." Ron blurted out, and quickly slapped a hand over his mouth. Luckily, Snape wasn't paying too much attention to his surrounding area.

"Oh, the battle may be bloody, but that kind of works for me." The Potions Master was thinking of the final battle. Unfortunately, the song began to get stronger and swept the unsuspecting Gryffindors into its grasp.

"The melody of angry growls." Harry sang out.

"A counterpoint of painful howls." Ron joined in.

"A symphony of death, oh my!" Hermione gasped.

"That's my lullaby." Snape nodded to himself, once again not thinking about the voices that sang the parts in his song.

"Narcissa is gone... but Severus' still around, to love this little lad." He once again sang, thinking fondly about Draco.

"Till he learns to be a killer, with a lust for being bad!" Peevessang and flew down the hall, laughing all the while.

"Sleep, ya little termite!" Ron bit out, referring to Snape's godson.

"Uh-- I mean, precious little thing!" Ron amended, when the Slytherin Headmaster stopped with a frown on his face.

"One day when you're big and strong..." Snape trailed off, still frowning.

"You will be a king!" Harry's voice filled the hall. Ron and Hermione slapped their hands over his mouth and backed away from the Potions Master.

"The pounding of the drums of war, the thrill of Draco's mighty roar!" Snape began singing again, completely forgetting whatever was bothering him.

"Joy of vengeance!" Hermione cheered out, taking her hand off of Harry's mouth.

"Testify!" Harry, following Hermione's example, cheered out.

"I can hear the cheering." The Slytherin stopped again, but the Golden Trio didn't notice.

"Draco! What a guy!" Harry sang out sincerely, while Ron sang it sarcastically.

"Payback time is nearing, and then your flag will fly against a blood-red sky." Hermione joined in again.

"That's my lullaby!" Snape finished the song and whipped around to face the Gryffindors, who still hadn't noticed his pause in walking. He reached out a hand and pulled off the invisibility cloak. Ron squealed, quite an unmanly sound, and jumped back. Hermione tried to speak, but was too shocked to do so. And Harry, well Harry prayed that this was all a bad dream. Of course, as his luck would have it, it wasn't a dream, it was reality.

"Fifteen pointsfrom Gryffindor! For each of you! Detention with me tomorrow night, as well! Now, get to your common room!" The three scurried off and Snape left with a swish off his black robes.

"I hope your happy, Harry." Ron said to the dark haired boy.

"What did I do?" Harry questioned.

"You just had to sing and cheer Malfoy on. We could have gotten out of there without detention, but no, someone had to be nice to the ferret!" Ron vented.

"Hey, you were the one who started singing first, so don't pin this one on me!" Harry accused.

"Boys! Now is not the time. We will discuss this later. Let's just get out of here, before someone else catches us." Hermione, always the voice of reason, suggested. The boys nodded and the three of them hurried back towards their rooms.


Okay, I kind of like this chapter. Let me know what you think. And I need pairings. Let me know who you want to be paired together. If you don't you might end up with a Harry/Draco, so review.
