- Third Person POV -

Chesca wakes up, upside down on the bed.

"How in hell?" She mumbles. Getting up from the bed, she shoves some black jeans on, a black blouse tucked into the jeans and a leather jacket. Rummaging in her trunk she finds her black combat boots and slips them on.

"You're noisy." Draco grumbles from the bed.

"You just watched me change didn't you?" She raises an eyebrow at him.

"You bet I did darling." He winks.

"Get over yourself. I'm going for breakfast." She leaves the room and runs down the hall, knocking frantically on her uncles' door.

"What?" Remus walks out, half dressed.

"I'm hungryyyyyy." She whines, hugging him tightly.

"Come here, I wanna hug." Sirius opens his arms for her, still half asleep. She kicks off her boots and dives on their bed, cozying under the duvet.

"Can I go back to sleep?" She asks.

"Yes. Take your jacket off." Remus shakes his head at her. She throws the jacket at him and cuddles into Sirius' side. "Hey, I exist too."

"We'll come on then." She scoffs.

"You haven't come in with us in a while. We've missed it. You used to everyday up until you were at Hogwarts." Sirius admits.

"It was so weird not climbing in with you." She explains, nodding back off to sleep.

"She's gone." Remus whispers.

"Are you guys going to get up at some point? I'm starving." Harry marches into the room, instantly being shushed by the couple.

"We can't move, she'll wake up if we do." Remus points to the sleeping child.

"But I'm hungry." Harry huffs.

"Then make cereal." Sirius suggests.

"But- ugh fine." He trudges downstairs. Narcissa takes his place in the doorway.

"Aww bless her. Draco said she's been struggling to sleep lately, she's been crying a lot but won't tell him why." Cissa frowns.

"We'll talk to her about it." Remus reassures her.

"Okay. So, when is everyone getting here? The Weasleys, Grangers, Howells and Lesters." She asks them.

"About four. We'll have dinner, then party." Sirius tells her.

"Okay, thank you. I'll start prepping little bits now then." She leaves, letting a silence fall over the two.

"Lily? Lils? Baby?" Draco calls through the house.

"She's here Draco. Your mum said about her not sleeping, how often?" Remus signals him to sit on the bed.

"It's every night now. She cries in my arms, then falls asleep. I'll ask her about it everyday but she just changes the subject." Draco sighs.

"You got any idea what it could be?" Sirius questions him.

"She said something about Harry asking her to change and that he said it's embarrassing when she displays her childish tendencies. But she was doing it before then however what he said hasn't helped." Draco informs the concerned couple.

"Oh he's dead when she wakes up." Sirius spits. "How could he? She's his twin sister. He's supposed to protect her."

"Sirius calm down, you're waking her up." Remus gestures to the wriggling Chesca.
