Chapter 5

"Please, please, please?" Anne was now on her knees begging.

"Just for that I won't." Elisabeth replied smiling.

"Than how am I going to sleep with that colourful nightlight?"

"Dump him on a couch in the living room."

"Great idea." James said. "Now get your arses to bed, it's already eleven o'clock."

"I have to agree with James, Kat come on, I'll get you to bed." Marie said, exiting the room with her daughter. Anne followed dragging the twin who were arguing that they weren't sleepy yet.

"Planning to follow?" James turned to his children.

"I'm nine, I can stay up if I want to."

"Elisabeth, you wont be nine for another two months and twenty-four days, now get to bed, all of you." Lily said. (A/N: Elisabeth was born 24 October 1981.)

Defeated the last four children made their way up to their rooms. Sean and Keith were lost somewhere in the middle of the second floor hall. Elisabeth and Harry had to walk to the end of it. Their rooms were across from each other and closest to James and Lily's room. Their parents were really protective about them after that particular Halloween.

"Night Harry."

"Night Lissy."

(A/N: We already know what Harrys room looks like, so where gonna put Elisabeth in bed.)

Elisabeth went into her room and looked around, she loved this room. The walls were full of bookshelves and pictures. In the bookshelves were books (duh), more pictures, a few dairy's and prankbooks (lol). There were a few couches, chairs, a desk, a coffee table, a winding staircase to her balcony, a trunk, James Hogwarts trunk, full of old stuff and pranks and a fireplace with a fire burning in it.

She took a bit of Floo-powder and threw it in to the fire.

"Jennifer Doors' bedroom."

Jennifer was Elisabeths friend since they were seven. Before that Elisabeth had a friend living next door, Matt, but he had to move when they were six. His brother Nick still lived there, but was hardly at home, he was a singer in a boy band and had graduated for Hogwarts two years ago.

"Hi Liz, congratulations with Harrys birthday."

"Thanks, I was fun, I'll tell you all about it tomorrow if you want to come."

"Always, can I take Jake with me?"

"Why not? He's my friend to."

"Ok, night."

"Night Jen."

Elisabeth took one more look around her room. She just loved those light yellow walls. (A/N: I LOVE YELLOW!) She slowly walked to the balcony.

There was her four-poster. It was decorated with the Gryffindor colours. On both sides of the bed was a nightstand, with more pictures on it. The bed was snowed with cuddle toys. There was a closet with clothes and on the wall were pictures of her favourite Quidditch-team, the Titshill Tornados.

She changed into her night-gown and sat down on her bed, looking at one of the pictures next to her. She picked it up. It was a picture of a little girl about five years old, she had messy jet-black hair that reached her shoulders, emerald green eyes with a light shining in them and a lightning blob scare on her cheek. Next to her was a boy about the same age, he had brown hair and hazel eyes with a light in them to, only a different light.

"Matt." A tear ran down her cheek.

Matt and Elisabeth had been really close and she missed him. True, Jennifer and Jake were great friends, but they were not Matt. She hadn't heard from him since.

She put the picture back down and curled up under the blankets.

~~~Down stairs~~~

"Here Padfoot, make yourself conferrable." James smiled.

"That kid is the daughter of the devil." Sirius muttered.

"I heard that, and I'm not the devil."

"Your coming quiet close, if I may say so."

"Be glad the others are already up, because Lily won't be to happy with you saying that."

"How am I going to sleep with this nightlight on my head?"

"Your problem, not mine. Goodnight Padfoot."

In reply Sirius threw a pillow at James, but the second closed the living room door just in time.

'Sirius gonna have a sleepless night.' He thought smiling, while walking up the stairs. 'Lets check on those brats before I go to sleep myself.'

First he entered Seans room, the boy was half asleep. Then Keiths room, James had to threaten to break the boy's broom before he finally went to bed. Harrys turn, he was awake, but already in bed and bid his father goodnight. Last was Lisa, she was fast asleep, but tears ran down her sweet face.

'Must be thinking about Matt again. She really misses him, but than again they were almost as close as Sirius and I are.'

He bent down and kissed her forehead.

"Sweet dream, princes." He whispered.

He didn't know if she heard him, but she was smiling now.

He smiled to and left the room and entered his own. He changed in record time and got in the bed next to Lily, wrapped his arms around her waist and nuzzled his face in her hair. This made Lily moan.

"James."

"What?"

"You're annoying."

"I know."

"Stop it."

"No."

"Sirius asleep?"

"Never."

"Children asleep?"

"Only Elisabeth and Sean half."

"And the others?"

"Harry was in bed and Keith had to be threatened."

"How?"

"Breaking his broom."

"His worst nightmare."

"Yeah."

"Something bothering you?"

"Lisa was thinking of Matt again, she hasn't hear from him for more than two years. She misses him."

"I know, but we can't do anything about it."

"Makes me feel so helpless."

"Know the feeling, now go the sleep."

And with that the conversation stopped, but it took an other forty minutes until both were fast asleep.
