The dark night was cold as the cupboard under the stairs usually was. Harry just wanted to get some sleep but his mind had other ideas, so he did what he normally did when he couldn’t sleep. He hummed a melody. For as long as he can remember he knew this melody, he didn’t know why he just knew the melody he didn’t even know all the lyrics besides the first couple parts. They went, ‘you are my sunshine, my only sunshine’. He imagined he must know it from something but alas he didn’t from what.
Regardless it worked very well, he was out like a light.
As he slept he saw a smiling women look down to a baby as it cried. It more felt like he was the baby but he knew that was unlikely.
The women picked the baby up and began to sing:
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy when sky are grey
You’ll never know dear how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away.
It was beautiful and heart warming. It made the baby stop crying. While a man came up beside the women. “That was beautiful Lily. Harry obviously loved it, look at his smile.”
As if to prove his point the baby started to giggle with a big smile it truly was an amazing sight to see as it looked like this small family was only full of love for each other.
“Oh James, are you jealous that I’m better at getting him to not cry than you are?.” The women stated with a smirk
“Of course not he loves his father more, thank you very much.” The man said proudly.
“James it’s getting late we should go to bed.” The women said rolling her eyes as she put the baby back into his crib.
Just as Harry curled into himself loveing the way the family was full of love. he heard a women crying stating to “leave Harry alone please”. Just as the plea was finished Harry saw a green light causing him to awake furiously hit his head on the stairs.
As much as he wanted to know more he didn’t dare do anything he just sat there crying for the family he could have had the family he desperately wanted, he cried for his dead parents. He knew that memory wasn’t real, his family had died in a car crash. Still he wanted that loving energy for his own.
He missed his parent deeply and he didn’t even know them. He wished they were alive so he didn’t have to stay with the Durleys. He real just wanted his family.
