Dedication: thrills
Drabble 4: Lullaby
-o-
The rain poured down like a curtain, seemingly covering the whole castle of Hogwarts. But rather the type of weather one only sees during a bad storm… just like the one that's happening right about now.
Unfortunately, Remus John Lupin hated storms.
It wasn't the never ending rain that scared him nor wasn't it the atmosphere. It was ferocious thunder claps that happen every so often. And he hated it. When he was back in Bristol, his mum and dad would come to either his side and soothe him to a rocking sleep… But he was now in Hogwarts.
Transforming into a werewolf once a month, that he could bear, but the sound of thunder ringing in his ears he couldn't tolerate. Remus hugged his knees to his chest and slightly rocked back and forth like what his parents would do to him, but to no avail. Remus buried his head into his knees, but as soon as he did so the curtains of his four poster bed were drawn back, revealing a worried Sirius.
"You alright mate?" He asked his voice drowned in concern as he sat beside the lycanthrope and putting his arms around the shorter teen in a loose hug. Remus snuggled further into Sirius' well toned body.
"I'm scared Siri…"
Remus answered his voice inaudible and trembling a little.
"shh… It's okay… nothing's going to happen…" Sirius said in a soft soothing voice whilst gently rocking the teen his arms back and forth.
"Thanks, Siri… could you- no, never mind…"
"What is it Rei?"
"Could you… sing me that song you used to sing when it was raining like this? You know the lullaby?"
Sirius looked down at auburn haired boy in his arms. Albeit he didn't see Remus's face, he knew he was blushing.
"Of course…"
For the first time that night Remus smiled. Sirius' melancholy voice filled the whole room, as if like water gushing into a small but delightful dry pond.
The rain is falling down
while I sing you a quiet lullaby
I catch a fleeting glimpse of your profile
I'm trapped in a small room
I love you while my spirit calls out to you
Words are needless
lost memories softened peacefully
but how strange. . .
First there in that close place where you only just slept
close beside me.
The rain is falling down.
A soft lullaby
In the gentle night
You bury your head in my shoulders.
I don't want you to know a sorrowful experience
therefore let the singing stay as it is
As it is until this dawn
