After Thomas had looked under the bed, the monster had disappeared.
Damien was still afraid but did feel a little better after his dad sat down next to him, stroking the boys hair gently.
"That was Remus. He's...one of my sides", the man explained after a while of silence.
"There are more?", the boy asked, looking up at his father figure who nodded. "Yeah. Beside the four you know it's Remus and Deceit, for as much as I know"
Thomas looked down at his boy, only to see him fighting with his tiredness.
"You should go to sleep buddy"
But the kid shook its head, so Thomas did the first thing that came to his mind in order to help Damien go to sleep.
"Here comes a thought"
Thomas began singing softly and Damien looked up a little surprised. He didn't knew his dad could sing.
"That might Alarm you
What someone said
And how it harmed you"
Damien's mind stopped racing about the previous events and instead focused on the soft and soothing voice that was singing to him.
"Something you did
That failed to be charming
Things that you said
Are suddenly swarming
Oh, you're loosing sight
You're loosing touch
All these little things
Seem to matter so much"
The rest of the song was just a fade memory to the little boy, because he fell asleep not long after.
"Hey buddy, time to get up"
Damien opened his eyes tiredly, just to be greeted by a soft smile.
"How did you sleep?", his father asked.
Damien responded with a tired grunt, before rolling out of his bed.
Thomas chuckled lightly when his kid stood up groggily, proving that he was not hurt.
"I'm gonna be downstairs", the dad said before leaving his kids room to let him change.
Like always, the kid changed into the shirt of his daily company, which today was Roman, and his beloved Ravenclaw Cardigan.
When the boy finished he walked downstairs, yawning and ready to go back to bed.
"Good Morning", Thomas smiled. He knew that the boy wasn't at fault for being so tired, since it was Remus that kept him up.
The boy grumbled in response while sitting down. Thomas placed a cup of hot cocoa in front of him, which made Damien perk up.
"Thanks", he said before starting to drink the cocoa and afterwards eating his breakfast.
"Ready for the day? I sure am!", a voice said behind them. Damien turned around and smiled when he saw the prince.
"Everyone ready to go?", Thomas asked and smiled when the kid gave him a thumbs up.
"Alright then!"
So Damien grabbed his backpack and entered the car, more or less ready to start the day.
