You're the Judge

[Honey Brendon Reeves]

Honey had wondered out to the courtyard. It is was beautiful spring day. The other nice thing about the day was that it was spring break and many of the students had gone home or on vacation. The courtyard was empty, which was the perfect time for song writing. Honey had just been hired to portal the grounds of Hogwarts. Which meant on his days off he could spend time in the enormous courtyard. Sitting under a tree with his ukulele in his lap, Honey began to sing;

"Na na na na oh oh
Na na na na oh oh
Na na na na oh oh

When the leader of the bad guys sang
Something soft and soaked in pain
I heard the echo from his secret hideaway
He must've forgot to close his door
As he cranked out those dismal chords
And his four walls declared him insane

I found my way
Right time wrong place
As I plead my case

You're the judge, oh no
Set me free
You're the judge, oh no
Set me free
I know my soul's freezing
Hell's hot for good reason
So please, take me"

Eragon was outside. He was tired of being around so many people and though he desperately wanted a friend to talk to he always had trouble not only looking people in the eye but talking to them too. He was heading to sit down in the shade and open one of his books and study,books were by far his only friends at the moment, well only friends in general. Though he did keep in touch with someone but that was only when he wasn't busy with other things.

As he was heading toward the trees he heard something that interested him. Someone singing. Who else was out here? He wondered briefly thinking that all of the other students would be doing stuff inside the castle rather then be out here. But out of curiosity he followed the sound and came across someone. By the looks of the man before him he didnt look to be a teacher and he looked a little to old for a student. He stopped by a tree near the guy to listen. He always liked music but being as it was forbidden at his home he couldnt even practice the Cello let alone even read music. He sat down close enough to listen but was to afraid to go any closer as he continued to listen to the words of the song.

Honey was not aware of anyone coming toward him or even sitting down a few trees away. Even if the other had shown himself Honey was not the type to stop in the middle of a song. Well, unless he was in the middle of writing the song. He continued to play on his ukulele and sang to the lyrics written in his journal which was lain out in front of him. 

"Na na na na oh
Na na na na oh
Na na na na oh

Three lights are lit
But the fourth one's out
I can tell cause it's a bit darker
Than the last night's bout
I forgot about the drought
Of light bulbs in this house
So I head out
Down a route I think is heading south
But I'm not good with directions
And I hide behind my mouth
I'm a pro at imperfections
And I'm best friends with my doubt
And now that my mind's out
And now I hear it clear and loud
I'm thinking, 'Wow
I probably should've stayed inside my house'

I found my way
Right time wrong place
As I plead my case

You're the judge, oh no
Set me free
You're the judge, oh no
Set me free
I know my soul's freezing
Hell's high for good reason
So please"

Eragon continued to listen to the song. He thought that the song was nice and so didn't want to interrupt the song. He decided to get closer, which was odd for him, since he wasn't one to really approach anyone even if it was a woman. Though all he wanted was someone to listen too but that wasn't the point of this.

"Your song is nice." he said nervously as he cleared his throat and fidgeted where he stood.

He then looked stunned at himself for even saying anything and right then he wanted to bolt. He was so awkward and he was ashamed of himself for even attempting to talk to anyone. He blushed ashamed at himself and he worried what his father would say to him and knowing his dad it wasn't going to be anything good since he was his shame. He feared what would happen to him once his dad found out he talked to anyone even about music. A shiver of fear went through him and he cringed at the idea.

He flinched at the idea and hoped that one day he would be saved from his father as he touched the marks on his arms and gently touched the star that was branded into his skin. He hoped that one day soon that his sister would be able to steal him back and save him from the nightmare they both had lived in just like Hecate had done for her, though Selene wouldn't be able to adopt him but he hoped that he could be rescued in a way. He was listening to the song and got absorbed into it and lost himself in it, which was easy to do since it was one thing that always helped him with the pain for a little while at least. His fingers itched to play but he knew that right now wouldn't be the best time to do so. Eragon sighed sadly as he sat down directly in front of the man listening to the words and wondered if there was another meaning behind them. The words, as he heard them reminded him of how insane his father was and sadly it almost spoke to him as he always seemed to plead, inside himself, that someone would see the pain he faced every time he was with his father and every day that he stayed here, he feared his dad would come here and he always felt judged and under attack. He couldn't help but let himself be at peace now the flow the music everything was almost ironically peaceful to him. What he wouldn't do but to join in.
