Come Together
"O Come All Ye Faithful joyful and triumphant." Lily sang under her breath and skipped over to where Scorpius sat. She sat next to him on the couch, still singing, "O come ye o come ye to Bethlehem." Her voice was calm and collected as she continued to sing quietly and snuggling with Scorpius as he still read.
"Silent Night! Holy Night! All is Calm; all is Bright…" she changed her tune to another Christmas carol.
Scorpius enjoyed when Lily would sing to herself (and in turn the whole Common Room). Her voice may not have been perfect, or even that pretty, but he loved to hear the smiles from within her heart expressed to the room. She was always so happy when she sang, no matter how sad the song.
She turned to him, still humming lowly a song that sounded like a lullaby of some kind, and kissed him on the cheek before turning to start on her reading for Potions in the morning. He felt his cheeks burn red, even after almost two weeks of dating and seven years of friendship, he felt so warm when she was around.
"Why'd you stop singing?" He asked calmly after she sat silently.
"You don't want to listen to me when you're reading. I'll just interrupt your thoughts."
"I'd love for you to continue."
She just shrugged and picked up with her song as she settled herself once again on the couch.
"Hush my dear one. Sleep serenely, now my lovely slumber deep." Her light voice filled the air around them until the both drifted to sleep on the couch in each others arms.
