Summary: Ariana ponders naps, sleeping, and Gellert. In that order.
Warnings: Aberforth insinuates something about Albus and Gellert, hence the rating ;)
I like taking naps with Al. He’s big and he’s warm and he complains when I lay down on him, but I know he doesn’t mind because he never pushes me off like he does when Margarine, my kitten, crawls onto his chest. (When that happens, usually he starts saying bad words. If Mama heard him, she would have to wash his mouth of with soap for being naughty.)
Al says I’m too big to take naps, but you take naps when you’re sleepy, and no one if ever too big to be sleepy, right? One time Abe said that maybe Al was so special he didn’t have to sleep, but that’s stupid, because everyone has to sleep. Now I remember, maybe Abe was using sarcasm- Al told me sarcasm is saying something you don’t mean, and I know Abe really loves Al a lot, just like me, even though sometimes he says naughty words.
But I take a nap sometimes, when I stay up too late at night, and I wait until Al sits down on the sofa with his boring books and then I go and lay down on him. His hair is really long, it tickles my face, and I’m not sure why Al has such long hair if he’s a boy. It doesn’t go down nearly as long as mine, though, so that makes me happy.
Usually when I lay down on him, Al says, “Get off of me, Ari, I’m not a bed.” And that makes me giggle and I think Al knows it, because he smiles just a little bit and doesn’t bother me any more.
When I was little, back before I can even remember (because I can’t remember a lot from when I was little, I’m not sure why), when I had bad dreams I would go to Mama and Daddy’s bed and lay down right between them. Mama was warm and soft, kind of like Al, and Daddy was so big he scared all the bad dreams away (that’s kind of like Abe), and I would stay with them until morning. One night, a long time after Mama and Daddy went away forever (that’s what Al said, at least, but I don’t believe in forever; they’ll come back soon), I had another bad dream. I don’t remember what it was about except that it made me cry, and I was so scared that I got out of bed and went to Al’s room and curled up next to him.
I didn’t know that it was really, really early in the morning when I got into Al’s bed, and Al always gets up really early, so when I woke up it was past breakfast and I was all alone in Al’s big bed. I yawned and stretched my back and couldn’t really remember my bad dream at all, so I went into the kitchen to see if Abe would give me some toast.
Al was in a foul mood when I walked into the kitchen- he and Abe were arguing but stopped when I came in. When I sat down on the countertop (my favorite place to be), Al said, “Ari, please tell me why in the world did I wake up to find you sleeping next to me last night?” His voice made me kind of scared, and his eyes looked mad behind his silly glasses, so I shook my head and couldn’t answer. But Abe laughed, and he handed me a piece of toast and said, “Don’t be upset, Ari, he’s just angry it wasn’t Gellert.”
That made Al splutter and choke and tell Abe to shut up, which is another naughty thing I’m not allowed to say. I don’t see what’s so bad about Gellert; maybe I’ll take a nap with Gellert one day, because he’s very nice and he has curly hair like me.
I wonder why me and Al both like Gellert so much.
