Love Songs: Loving the Dark Wizard

Morning Lullabies



~A song very worthy of a warm and fuzzy fic, Enjoy~





Yesterday

I woke up

With your head on my arm

My hand was numb

Circulation gone

But I dared not move the pretty sleeping one



Hermione woke early that morning, the familiar, warm weight of an arm draped over her body. The solid masculine form had wrapped himself around her body attempting to mold her to him. She smiled as she traced the long nimble fingers splayed over her torso. She trailed the long arm, pale skin, dark hair, as far has she could, and then trailed her fingers back down gently so as not to wake him. He had been out late and only returned a few hours ago.



The sun had painted

Patterns on your face

As you breathed Sunday air

You rolled onto

My open arm

I became your pillow; you let me smooth your hair



The sudden urge to see his face overtook her, so she twisted carefully in his embrace. Not carefully enough however, for the veteran spy who suddenly crushed her tighter to his chest. He brought one long muscled leg up between her own and nuzzled into her neck, his long crocked nose taking in her warm scent.

“Hermione” he mumbled, voice raspy from sleep.

“Shh darling, rest now,” she whispered brushing away the dark baby fine locks back from his eyes.

“Mmm… sing to me?” he asked trying to drag her deeper into him and the covers of their bed. She smiled; she should have known that request was coming.



I will sing you morning lullabies

You are beautiful and peaceful this way

I know you have to close your eyes on everyone

Let me help you, I\'ll sing you to sleep

With morning lullabies



She had kept her singing talent to herself, finding no real outlet or purpose for it while studying and attempting to help save the wizarding world. She had only sung in he shower or softly while cooking or cleaning. Of course it was the one time that she did not place a silencing spell on the bathroom door of a safe house she was assigned to after a mission that her secret was discovered by none other than the Potions Master. Severus had been assigned to rest at the cottage, situated in the Highlands, before returning to London to give yet another tragic report of more lives lost. When he entered, the sweet melody had calmed his mind and allowed his body to fall into a deep slumber. Hermione found him not that much later fast asleep on the bed. She covered him up and went to sleep herself on the bed next to his. The next morning they prepared to leave and ate in a comfortable silence. Just before Severus’s portkey activated he nodded toward Hermione “Your singing is quite lovely.” And was gone.





Let me lie in the curl

Of your body tonight

And I will hear you tumble into sleep

I will watch you heal, watch you heal with me



Since then he had often requested a song when they were alone traveling from point to point, when the nightmares plagues both his dreams and his reality. First while on missions for the Order, while cleaning up after a day in the lab for her apprenticeship and now as they traveled for their business, the newest store in their apothecary chain had opened only a few weeks ago. Hermione smiled at the memories

“Shall I sing you a morning lullaby my love?” she asked. Her answer was a nodded \'yes\' as his morning stubble scratching gently across her collar bone, making her shiver slightly. She smiled once more down and began to sing a soft melody. As she moved through the song she watched as his features began to relax and soften, listening as his breathing became deep.



I will sing you morning lullabies

You are beautiful and peaceful this way

I know you have to close your eyes on everyone

Let me help you, sing you sleep

With morning lullabies



Hermione stroked his hair and face lovingly as she watched the sun rise above the Scottish hills. Their cottage, a former safe house, welcomed in a new day as Hermione sang to keep the old nightmares at bay. Severus’s grip lessened as her song came to an end, just enough for Hermione to slip away to make some breakfast, but not before giving her beloved potions master one last kiss.



I know you have to close

Your eyes on everyone

Let me help you I\'ll sing you to sleep

With morning lulla-bye, bye, baby

Close your eyes and I will sing you

Morning lullabies

And I will sing you

Morning lullabies
