Small Bump - Harry Potter - Ed Sheeran lyrics

Small Bump

~~You're just a small bump unborn, in four months you're brought to life.
James Potter and Lily Potter stood in a nervous-happy state as they waited for the results.
" It's a boy!" The healer exclaimed. "And he's perfectly healthy. As long as you eat well and have at least 5 hours sleep all should be well. ~~

~~You might be left with my hair, but you'll have your mother's eyes.
"Can we see the photos now?" James burst. He couldn't wait any longer - he wanted to see his baby.
His baby.
James wondered if he would ever get used to that.
The healer chuckled and handed them to James and Lily. Their gasp was in sink as they both realised they would never let anything happen to their beautiful baby boy... ~~

~~I'll hold your body in my hands, be as gentle as I can.
Lily hugged her baby close, her eyes wide. Looking down at the magnificent child in her and she knew the pain was worth it. Finally, Harry Potter had been born. ~~

~~But for now you're scared of my unmade plans.
James slipped into the bed and wrapped his arms around his wife and child; a feeling of compassion and completion settled around them.~~

~~A small bump in four months you've opened our eyes~~

~~I'll whisper quietly, I'll give you nothing but truth.
Harry had cried non stop for the past three days. His first tooth was growing and the whole world needed to know. After fruitless attempts to console the wailing Harry, James and Lily owled Sirius, Remus, and Peter, who arrived shortly. Sirius immediately took Harry on his knee and bounced him, singing the runaway snitch. Harry's owl like green eyes blinked as the mistyness of tears left them and he started giggling. Peter and James joined in in merry accompaniment. Lilly and Remus watched from the kitchen with fond smiles before discussing a more serious matter.~~

~~If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you.
"We have to protect harry. I don't know how but we cannot let you-know-who get him." Lily whispered, her grave voice clashing with the laughter and hearty melody that was dancing in from the other room.
"I've been researching and I've found a spell I think will work. A Fidelius charm. It hides a location. But you'll need a secret keeper."
"I've heard of those. Thank you Remus. Who should we have as secret keeper though?"
"I've assessed it, and I think Sirius is your best option"~~

~~You are my one and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
Oh, you are my one and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.

And you'll be alright.
The future was unclear.~~

~~Oh, you're just a small bump unknown, you'll grow into your skin.
The potter residence waa no longer mapped in Godrics Hollow. Nor was it anywhere.~~

~~With a smile like hers and a dimple beneath your chin.
Harry's first Christmas was not as it should have been. Dampened by the thick atmosphere there was no room for a joyful mood.~~

~~Finger nails the size of a half grain of rice,
Lily loved to hold Harry's tiny, baby hands. It was the reason she got up; to run her finger round his palm, singing around the goblin or 11 broomsticks, her heart would swell even with the thought.~~

~~And eyelids closed to be soon opened wide
Each night after Lily had finally stopped fretting and settled into bed, James would stand I've Harry's cot and watch him sleep, feeling nothing but love in his heart. ~~

~~A small bump, another four months you've opened our eyes.
Harry was 8 months old now and he had begun to babble. His first word was dog and Sirius couldn't have been prouder. ~~

~~ And I'll hold you tightly, I'll tell you nothing but truth,
Harry was a year old and Peter and Sirius had come to visit. Harry had been gifted with his first broom. But still there was sadness, seeping from a Remus shaped hole.~~

~~If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you
Sirius announced his plan that night: "i'm the most likely suspect for your secret keeper. If they catch me, they'll definitely question me. I think you should swap me with Peter."...
And so it was done, sealing their fate.~~

~~You are my one and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
Oh, you are my one and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.

And you'll be alright.
Evil blasted down the door.~~

~~And you can lie with me,
Lily ran to Harry and barricaded the door as she listened to the final cries of her husband.
She dragged Harry's cot behind the bed and crouched in front of it.
Her baby.~~

~~With your tiny feet
Harry was small. Too small. To innocent for his doom.
Her baby.
Love and fear was pounding through her veins.
Her baby.~~

~~When you're half asleep,
Harry looked around dazed. His mother frantically shushed him, willing, hoping, praying for his silence. The fear in her eyes wide eyes reflected in Harry's.
Her baby.~~

~~I'll leave you be.
Lily picked up her baby and hugged him, wrapped him in her scarf and placed him back down.
Her baby. ~~

~~Right in front of me
Tears. They slowly dripped off Lilly's face. She watched as the door caved in.
Her baby.~~

~~For a couple weeks
Lily would give anything for more time to spend with Harry but Voldemort was approaching.
Her baby. ~~

~~So I can keep you safe.
Lilly's love was resonating of the walls. As Lily took her final breaths she focussed on Harry. She would protect him.
Her baby.~~

~~'Cause you are my one and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
You are my one and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.

And you'll be alright.
Harry Potter would not be alright for a long time coming.~~

~~'Cause you were just a small bump so loved for 15 months then torn from life.
Maybe you were needed down there but we're still unaware as why.~~
