"Stop joking around Padfoot we have to get this done" James Potter sighs stacking the parchment once more into a neat pile. If anyone knew better then him it was his best friend, his wife had quite the temper.

"Fine, fine. What's next then?" Sirius Black asks once again putting all four chair legs back on the ground and picking up a quill, twirling it around his fingers.

Once again James sighs, "The children, both Harry and Lizzie are to go to one of their respectful godparents or Lily's sister. Personally I rather have Harry go to you, and Lizzie to Remus then they ever set foot near that women and her whale of a husband.".
Sirius frowns before breaking into a smirk, "Imagine giving little Lizzie-Lily to Snape, I mean what would he do with a little girl. Poor thing would grow up loving potions and not knowing proper hair care"
James snorts, standing from his chair and rubbing his hand through his hair before smiling.

"Take this down for me Sirius" James says snobbishly, putting his hands behind his back and pacing around the table in a snooty manner.

"Dear Severus Snape,If you are reading this Lily and I are no longer. Bugger isn't it?
In return for everything I have put you through I have left in your care this bundel of joy, Elizabeth Lilian Potter. Care for her as if she was, well not yours but ours and teach her right from wrong. Hopfully you will learn some valuable parenting skills.
Cheers, James Potter" James pauses as Sirius mockingly folds the letter and melts wax along the fold pressing the Potter stamp into the wax making it look offical.

"Very good, very good. Now we better put it in th-"
"James! Come change the twins!" Lily Potter calls from the upstairs of their home making Sirius laugh when James makes a rather disgusted face.
"Sirius, you come help too Harry's being excessivly fussy tonight" the red head calls down the stairs, a crash following her demands along with the squeels of a small girl.

Sirius and James exchange looks dashing up their stairs, "Coming Lilykins!"

After a few minutes a red head comes down the stairs seeing the work she set her husband to do compleated. With the wave of her wand the sheets disappear and the mess cleaned. Sending all files to the Headmaster of Hogwarts.
Everyone knew he'd outlive them all.

"ELIZABETH!"
"Please Severus call me Lizzie, you of all people have learned that right" I smile looking up from my breakfast. Diddy our house elf was now running from the room in search of breakfast for my cranky guardian. This is how mornings always were, him yelling at me for something I may or may not have done. Him grumbling about how I was too much like my fahter, or brother, then stalking away shaking his head when I said something cheeky. He didn't intimidate me, I had been living with the man for almost sixteen year.

"When exactly were you going to tell me Elizabeth that you were going over to the Weasleys?"
"I'm going over to the Weasley's?" I ask confused, this was news to me. I wasn't ready to go anywhere actually, my dark hair was still pulled up in a towel from after my morning shower, the only thing I had done was put in contacts when I woke up because I had left my glasses at school when we left last week.

"Yes, wait.. you don't know?"
"I never planned to go over there Severus" I shrug watching his face relax slightly. Over the last sixteen years I learned that he was quick to jump to anger. I also learned when he was wrong and did this he usually felt somewhat bad for yelling at me. For a moment anyways.

"Well I'm sure you would have eventually" he stiffly answers sitting opposite me sipping a cup of tea while looking at me over the cup. He didn't like when I came to breakfast not dressed, said it was unlady like. I told him if he was married his wife probably be doing the same thing and that maybe he should go out and find one.
He grounded me for a week, said raising me was a nightmere and I'd scar anyone away. I think he's just to shy to ask a girl out.

"I'm sure I wouldn't, I'd be a fifth wheel and that's way worse then being a third wheel incase you're wondering" I snort earning a spectical look from the older man who was trying not to be curious. But he really was, he knew I'd continue without him asking though. "Hermione and Ron, their akward sexual tension" I continue watching his nostrials flare slighlty at the words 'sexual tension', "then Harry and Ginny's odd, longing for one another. It's enough to drive anyone crazy, I'll just wait to see them at the next Order meeting" I finish with a shrug. Watching as Snape turned back to his breakfast which Diddy had managed to deliver.

Severus Snape was my guardian, I had been with him since I could remember, most people would be scared by that. He's not the most approchable person, and he's not really the 'father type'. When I was just a baby I was left in his care though the majority of the time I was left with few of the Hogwarts house elves until I was old enough to entertain myself in Severus' living quarters, he had teaching duty's and his 'little problem', me wasn't going to keep him from that. He was never too harsh with me, but often tryed to distance himself when he thought we were becomming to close. It became worst in the third year when Remus Lupin came to school, Remus was my godfather and Severus didn't agree with a relationship developing because of my safety. You know cause it's okay for Harry to befriend the werewolf but not me. I hate when that happens.

Severus and I lived in a small townhouse somewhere in Spinner's End, or something along those lines, he told me I didn't need to know the address because I wasn't inviting any of those 'idiot's' I call friends over anyways. It was pretty small, walking into the house there was a small hall that was interrupted by the staircase that led up to the two bedrooms and bathroom. Everything was of dark wood, and very dark looking. Growing up I basically stayed in the kitchen or my room because every other place scared me. On the main floor was the Library where Severus spent most of his time, the kitchen, small dining room and a small Potions Lab.

"Do you remember at the end of the year when I asked if Harry could come live here?" I ask suddenly interrupting Severus' letter writing. Something he always told me was rude to do at the table.
"Unfortunatly" he mutters still writing. "Is the reason he can't a Dumbledore reason, or a personal reason?"
"Both, I already care for one of the Potter children I don't also want to be responsable for that criminal brother of yours" he says staring at me right in the eye, "Your enough to deal with" I frown, sighing. I could never get a straight answer out of him. Ever.

"Go finish your reading"
"Sir yes sir" I sigh standing, I bet my wand Harry doesn't get assigned summer reading. To "keep him busy" and "expand his mind".
