Chapter Notes:
Original work: Coventry Carol
Author's Note: Not terribly Potterised, and I hope it makes sense. The singer is Albus, the friend is Gellert, and the sweet scared girl is Ariana. Thanks Julia for introducing me to this beautiful carol. In return, can I point you towards Sufjan Stevens version (if you haven’t heard of him-he’s mates with The National so you probably have-then he is possibly the coolest person on the planet)

Lully, lullay, sweet, scared girl,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.
Lullay, sweet, scared girl,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.

O my friend too, what can we do,
To atone for our deeds this day
And my poor sister’s graveyard home.
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.

Arrogant, fighting, in our raging,
Chargéd, we hath in chaos
Ta’en our might, and in our own sight,
That sweet, scared girl slain.

And grief is mine, poor sister and thee!
And ever mourn and sigh,
For this day neither say nor sing,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay

Lully, lullay, sweet, scared girl,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.
Lullay, sweet, scared girl,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.
