I do not own Harry potter nor its characters nor Filip... or the song used.
When I woke up it was dark, and I felt softness under me and faintly saw my bed. I felt arms around me and soft snoring in my ear. I turned my head to see my mom laying beside me asleep. How long had I been out for? I wondered as I gently got out of her arms without disturbing her. I looked up at the clock then squinted because of the darkness. It was late, around midnight. My head hurt. What happened?
I walked out of my room and down the stairs to the parlour to get my stuff when I heard a voice. "What are you doing?" the voice asked. I turned around to see my dad. I walked over and hugged him, he gently hugged me and picked me up as though I was as light as a feather.
"I went to get my stuff from the parlour. How long was I out for?" I asked quietly as it was late. He kept walking up the stairs.
"A day, but it is late. So go back to sleep." he said and laid me back on the bed. I looked at him as he walked out. All of the sudden a soft voice spoke behind me.
"You're awake." I looked to see my mom. I didn't respond but I curled into her and looked up at her. She brushed some hair out of my face, then said, "You kept tossing and turning. Muttering something about homework. You have no need to do it right now my darling. My sweet daughter, you must sleep." she said and drew little patterns on my face with her finger lightly. I felt sleepier.
"Don't leave." I managed to say before I fell into dream land.
(-(-(-_-)-)-)
I saw a dragon, a white dragon with grey eyes stare at me. I gulped as it started to walk towards me. I walked backwards as it walked forwards. For one of its steps I walked five steps, till I hit an invisible wall. I whimpered in fear but it kept coming. I lunged the other way onto the floor but it started to attack.
All of the sudden it was gone. I was sitting in a common room at Hogwarts! Except it wasn't my common room. It was Slytherin's! I was sitting on a couch when all of the sudden, a black cat jumped and sat beside me. I looked down at it and started to stroke its fur, but instead of liking it like most cats would, this cat scratched me!
I screamed and pushed it away, then a grey snake slithered in and ate the cat whole! I whimpered and started to run, but the snake bit me.
"Avana"
I was crying in pain and fell, but the snake kept attacking.
"Avana!"
I was bleeding out, I was starting to go numb and I couldn't feel anything. Everything started to go black...
"Avana! Please wake up!" yelled a voice and my eyes shot open and I bolted upright, making everything spin. I let out a sob and my vision started to blur from tears, but I saw Aunt Cissy.
"Oh my. Avana, love, are you alright?" she asked, I shook my head and started to frantically look at my legs and arms, to make sure that I didn't have any bites or scratch marks.
"Baby, what's wrong?" I heard my mom say. I kept looking around, making sure that nothing happened.
"There was a snake" I let out a shaky breath then continued. "And a cat, and a-a dragon!" I started to sob violently, remembering the dream. Mom hugged me and started to sing quietly.
"Hush-a-bye, don't you cry go to sleep my baby" my mom sang.
"When you wake, you shall see coach and six-a-little horses," sang Aunt Cissy. I started to calm. I had never heard this song before.
"Blacks and bays," sang mommy.
"Dapples and grays," Aunt Cissy sang.
"All the pretty little horses" they sang together. "Hush-a-bye, don't you cry, go to sleep my little baby, when you wake, you shall have, all the pretty little horses," they sang. I smiled as I calmed down and leaned back against mom.
"Blacks and bays," mom sang. Her voice was perfect. I don't understand why Severus says she has a bad voice.
"Dapples and grays" sang Aunt Cissy. She was different… Aunt Cissy's voice was... beautiful. She needed to sing more often.
"All the pretty little horses" they sang together. I smiled, and felt mom put her chin atop my head, and her arms held me in place in her lap.
"Blacks and bays," Aunt Cissy sang this time, her voice soothing. I didn't feel the need to cry anymore.
"Dapples and grays" mom sang, I felt her singing. It was nice...
"All the pretty little horses" mom and Aunt Cissy ended together, in perfect harmony.
"Thank-you" I whispered. Aunt Cissy smiled and me and stood up. Mom let me go, stood up but then picked me up as though I was a child. "What are you doing? Where are we going?" I questioned. Aunt Cissy led the way out of my room.
"We are going to have breakfast love." said Auntie as we- well they walked down the stairs to the dining room.
"Hello Ladies." said Draco. I looked at him and stuck out my tongue, "And baby."
"I am not a baby, I am nine." I stated. He laughed.
"And you are being carried?" he asked as mom set me down.
"She fainted two days ago dumbo." said mom as she sat beside me. Draco rolled his eyes and started to eat. I started to nibble on the food, not really hungry, more nauseous. "Now, Narcissa, Lucius, mind to tell me why my daughter fainted?" mom asked after breakfast when they were sitting there talking. I now sat on her lap with her force feeding me.
"I do not know Bella." said Auntie as she looked at mom. Mom looked at Uncle and he shrugged.
"Avana, why'd-" started mom but was cut off by Draco.
"Because she has a shit load of homework and so she only sleeps, goes to class and does that. She doesn't eat." said Draco, I glared at him and he shrugged. I sighed and waited for questions but none came. I was shocked.
"We shouldn't have put her in this early." said Uncle. I shrugged and refused to open my mouth as my mom tried to put some toast in it.
"I like Hogwarts." I said and smiled.
The song in this is 'All the pretty little horses', it is the lullaby. I love it! And I was about to put for the disclaimer I don't own Sweeny Todd! Yikes! Well I should go to bed :P but I'm not going to! Review!
