A bit of a longer chapter for you with an interesting plot. You will get to see the more protective side of the Marauders and the girls. The chapter is mainly about Olivia but the others are in there too!
In response to llllllaaaaagirl I know my punctuation is awful and I'm sorry about that, I have taken into account what you said and tried to use it in this chapter. I had planned to have the males pay attention to Olivia but I didn't want to do it while they were still younger I thought it would be better if they were all older. I'm really glad you liked it and thanks for reviewing:)
Hope you enjoy this chapter please read and review.

Chapter 3- Boyfriends, Beatings and Potions Homework
"Hey baby." Liam Higgins said as he grabbed Olivia around her waist pulling her back to his chest and kissing her neck softly.
"I was just coming to find you." Olivia spoke turning her head and pinning him with her mischievous sapphire blue eyes and he raised an eyebrow at her in question.
"Were you now?" Liam said in a deeper voice knowing full well that, she was looking for him to have a hot make out session in the nearest broom closet. They had been going out for 2 weeks now and Liam was getting more impatient with the fact that she wouldn't go all the way with him, even though it was no secret that Olivia was not an innocent angel.
"Yes I was." Olivia said as she turned in his arms and laid a hand on his muscular chest. Liam was a 6th year Ravenclaw and one of the best looking boys in the entire school of course he still ranked under the marauders in the category of hotness according to the girls of Hogwarts.
Olivia however as determined by the boys in all years had no competition. It was a known fact that she had, just like Sirius and the rest of the marauders, various fan clubs who would obsess over her, some in a more stalkery way than others. Olivia had been blessed with her beauty and her assets however it never occurred to her to flaunt around like some of the attention seekers in the school she was just naturally likable. Olivia and Sirius had more alike than just being from pureblood families, they both seemed to share the knack of going through boyfriends and girlfriends quicker than grass flying through the wind. Everyone knew who Olivia was and she knew everyone in school, despite her popularity however Olivia always remained fiercely loyal to her friends and would not hesitate to duel anyone that hurt people she loved.
"Well beautiful, you've found me so what do you want?"Liam asked in a teasing voice.
"What do you want to do" She said in a questioned voice before he grabbed the back of her head and joining their lips together. The hand that Liam had placed around her waist began to grip harder and their kiss deepened and their tongues touched. Liam swung Olivia around so she was now pressed against the wall making her groan into his mouth from both pain and pleasure. Liam's hand began moving down to hold Olivia's ass and he pulled her tighter against him. Silently Liam began thinking to himself whether or not Olivia would go further than they had before, but before things had the chance to kick off and they had the chance to make it to the broom closet a loud voice boomed down the corridor that had previously been emptied.
"Oi Higgins get your hands off!" Sirius snarled grabbing his wand and pointing it directly at Liam's head, Liam actually looked scared for a moment before he removed his hands and stepped back, knowing full well how protective the marauders were of their best girlfriend and how Sirius would have full intentions to hex his balls off if he didn't move.
Olivia stood there and rolled her eyes at the over-protectiveness rolling off of the two boys in front her, Sirius with his wand still in hand and the others with their hands directly above where their wands sat.
"Liam maybe you should go, I'll see you later." Olivia said as she shoved him gently in the way of the great hall. Liam realised that all the feelings that Olivia may have had earlier had now gone and that made him angry.
"Fine, I'll see you then." Josh gave Olivia a short peck on the lips ignoring the glares he got from The Marauders, she was still his girlfriend.
As Olivia watched Liam walk away she couldn't help but feel slightly relieved at Sirius' interruption, she always felt pressured when he was around, as if he expected more than what she was willing to give, but she couldn't let Sirius see that if he found out he would personally kill Liam for making her feel that way. So putting her angry face on she turned around and glared at her best friends.
"Really Sirius? Was that really necessary?" Olivia said as she rounded on him.
"Liv he was touching you inappropriately!" Sirius ground out the last word through gritted teeth and couldn't help but laugh.
"Inappropriately, oh come on Sirius you touch girls "inappropriately" all the time" Olivia said with a look of accusation on her face and her hands on her hips.
"Yeah, well- but that's..." Sirius trailed off looking uncomfortable now that he had lost his point in their mini argument.
"Exactly, I appreciate you looking out for me, but you got to trust me to know what's best for me" Olivia said moving closer to Sirius and giving him a brief hug before walking back to the common room to find the girls.
"Hey there Sherlock" Olivia said to Lily as she sat down next to her on the couch.
"Watson, nice of you to join us an hour after curfew" Lily gave her a pointed glare her prefect side kicking in, even though she knew that nothing she said to Olivia about not breaking rules seemed to sink into that pretty little head of hers.
"Come on now Sherlock surely you must know me by now" Olivia smiled innocently and kicked her legs up to lay them over Lily's lap. The two of them had a strange obsession with the muggle film Sherlock Holmes and seemed to have begun to call each other after the characters. Lily was Sherlock due to her natural smartness and tendency to always have a plan of action, where as Olivia went along with the plan adding her own bits which always ended up getting her in trouble. They were complete opposite but they would always be the best of friends.
"So my good friend what are you writing at this particular moment in time?" Olivia asked Lily while fiddling with a strand of her curly black hair. "Wait where are the rest of the girls?" Olivia added turning to look around the common room.
"Well in answer to your first question I'm doing my potions essay which I'm going to assume you haven't done?" Olivia shrugged and laughed at her best friends face promising to do it later. "And secondly Alice has detention in Ancient Runes for not doing homework and Amy said she had a bad head so she's getting an early night." Lily finished and went back to writing her essay.
"Right then well I think I am going to go and find Liam" To break up with him. Olivia added the last bit in her head.
"Olivia don't go wandering about the castle! Come straight back!" Lily shouted after Olivia making her laugh.
"Yes Mother" Olivia called back in an obedient voice, dodging the pillow that Lily threw at her from the sofa.
Olivia tried to prolong her walk to the Ravenclaw common room for as long as she could, not wanting to see Liam. Normally she was confident around boys but it was something about him that made her feel uneasy. Olivia briefly thought about Sirius and how he would react if he knew what she was doing Yeah that would go down well. She knew Sirius didn't like him even before they started dating that of course put immediate dislike on any boy that she dated.
Just as Olivia reached for the entrance to the common room Liam stepped out and looked up at her surprised.
"I didn't realised you were coming here" He smiled wickedly "Were you looking for me" he asked cocking his head to the side.
"Um... yeah I was actually." Olivia said fidgeting on her feet and nervously playing with the hem of her shirt. Come on Olivia now is not the time for confidence to slip away! Focus girl you're a Marauder you can face him. But for every second longer she stood there she began to get more scared.
Liam moved close to her until they were a breath apart and reached out to grab her hips tightly making Olivia wince in protest, bringing her back to the present knowing she needed to finish the task in hand.
"Liam I'm sorry but I don't want this anymore" Olivia said as best as she could due to her breath shortness. Immediately after the words came out of her mouth Liam's faces turned red and his jaw locked.
"Oh no I don't think so!" Liam said in a low threatening voice, slamming Olivia up against the wall and looking around to make sure no-one was coming.
"You listen to me you stupid slut, there is no way I'm letting you go anywhere until I get what I want and I think a girl as beautiful as you must know what that is" His voice lowered at the last part of his sentence.
"No Liam please let me go!" Olivia tried to shake him off as her eyes grew wider realising what he had intentions of doing.
Liam laughed as Olivia's shaking hands tried to move him away but his laughter cut off as Olivia lifted her knee and caught him right where she had aimed. He released her and grabbed between his legs in pain cursing her as she ran off. As he regained himself Liam took off running after Olivia who had barley gotten to the middle of the corridor due to her shaking legs.
Liam once again grabbed her and this time as he turned her to face him he slapped her hard on her petrified face causing her to fall and smack her head on the stone pillar. Olivia screamed as she felt the impact and pushed up on her elbows to slide away from Liam who now had predators look in his eyes.
"Oh come on Olivia it's not like you haven't done it before is it?" Liam spoke and kicked her in the side snapping a rib; it took all Olivia's might not to scream in pain.
"No, you've done it with other people so why not me? Huh? Why not give any to me?" Liam kicked Olivia in the side to punctuate each question. The third time was her breaking point and she screamed knowing that half of her ribs were probably broken.
"Shut up!" Liam whispered to her grabbing her hair and pulling her up and roughly to the side "Don't want anyone to know we're here do we?" Liam smiled and stroked her cheek the sight made Olivia feel sick.
Olivia went to scream again knowing it was stupid but had to try and find a way out of the situation she was currently in. Liam caught her off guard and smacked her face again sending her to the floor.
"LIV!" A voice shouted behind and even through Olivia's blurry vision she could see the silhouettes of three boys and knew that her boys were here. The was muffled sound that Olivia could barely make out over the sound of her frantic heart and jets of red light that she could make out through the fogginess threatening to take her into blackness. Olivia guessed this was all from the head would she had and reached up to touch her head flinching at the contact as she drew her hand back she notice her finger tips dyed red. Well that explains why my head hurts a lot.
"Frank go get Dumbledore me and James will take Liv to the hospital" Olivia could hear the fear in Sirius voice but he covered it up with controlling the situation.
Sirius knelt down beside Olivia and looked over her body. She had a cut at the side of her head which was gushing with blood; her cheek was bruised and red with a scratch mark down the edge of her neck. She was holding her side and had a pained expression on her face as she struggled to breathe normally.
"Hey Livvy it's gonna be okay, me and James are gonna get you up and take you to madam Pomfrey and she'll get you fixed up." Sirius said to reassure her. Olivia nodded knowing that if she opened her mouth she would most likely scream from the pain.
James and Sirius both leaned down to pick her up one on either side but stopped short when Olivia screamed out in pain and a cracking sound made its way to their ears. Olivia grabbed her side again sitting back on the floor. Sirius knew from his home life experience that she had broken her ribs.
"Oh god. Okay Liv I'm going to lift you on the count of three I know it's going to hurt and I'm really sorry but we have to get you to the hospital wing your losing a lot of blood from your head" Sirius finished explaining and just to prove his point Olivia began to sway to the side, becoming light headed from the blood loss that now sat in a puddle next to her and on her clothes.
Sirius leant down once more and in one fluent move picked Olivia up and cradled her against his chest.
"Urgh!" Olivia moaned as the bruising on her sides hit her at full force. She heard Sirius making her apologies every time that she cringed in pain.
James and Sirius picked up speed when Olivia had informed them that she thought she was going to pass out. As they walked through the double doors they saw not only Dumbledore but McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey waiting for them. The sight of Olivia in Sirius' arms making them all gasp.
"Quickly Mr. Black lay her down over here" Madam Pomfrey pointed at the bed nearest to them and walked off to fetch the potions she needed going into healer mode.
"Si-rius." Olivia let out a strangled moan. Sirius walked over to the bed and held her hand "Don't leave m-e plea-se." Olivia finished. Sirius knew she hated hospitals and didn't like being alone when she was in one.
"I'm not going anywhere Liv I promise" Sirius said and kissed her hand. Madam Pomfrey came back and began to give Olivia various potions and was unconscious in minutes.
"Mr. Black" Dumbledore started but was cut off by Sirius.
"I'm sorry Professor but I'm not leaving her she asked me to stay and I promised. I always keep my promises." Sirius said matter-of-factly making it clear to the headmaster that he was not going to argue about it further.
Dumbledore just smiled at the young man's loyalty to his friend and told Sirius and Madam Pomfrey that he had permission to stay overnight.
The bathroom door at the end of the hospital wing opened and revealed a tired looking Remus whose heavy eyes widened when he saw Olivia in a hospital bed and Sirius sitting next to her.
"Sirius what the hell happened!" Remus asked in a loud stage whisper so not to wake up Olivia.
"Liam Higgins" Sirius said through clenched teeth and Remus knew that Sirius was tempted to find Liam and kill him had it not been for Olivia wanting to him to stay with her. Remus sat on the other side of the bed taking Olivia's other cold hand and Sirius explained what had happened at the point that they saw.
"I'll kill him." Sirius said once again through gritted teeth and Remus saw his eyes darken and imagined that his were probably doing the same thing right now.
"I think I'll join you!" Remus growled.
"Well Padfoot, Moony that sounds like such a wonderful idea" James said as he walked over to the bed and sat down with Frank beside him.
"I couldn't agree more" Frank joined in the threats for the Ravenclaw boy.
They had been right in third year about Remus being a werewolf and as promised had manage to turn into animagus. Sirius to a dog (Padfoot) James to a stag (Prongs) Frank to a tiger (Stripes) and Olivia to a wolf (Shadow) not to say that Remus had been thrilled when he had heard there plan but after their first trip on the full moon Remus could not have been more grateful.
The all watched Olivia for another hour, who slept on peacefully thanks to a dreamless sleep potion; Sirius had no doubt that she would have nightmares about what had happened to her.
"We're going to have to tell the girls they'll worry when she isn't in the dorm tomorrow" Remus said looking at each of his friends in turn.
"I'll go let them know" James said standing up and heading to the exit, stopping when Sirius called his name.
"James."
"Yes." James said tuning his body back to face his friends
"Don't piss off Lily, because Liv will be pissed with you!" Sirius said trying to make a joke even though James knew that inside he was scared.
As James walked into the common room he realised that the girls must be upstairs in the dorm already. He stuck his head around the staircase, careful to avoid making any contact with staircase itself so stop into from transforming into the slide that prevented boys entering the girl's dormitory, and called up to Alice knowing if he called Lily she would most probably ignore him.
The 5th year girl's dormitory opened and Alice looked down the staircase pausing when she saw James' pale face.
"James what's wrong?" Alice asked and Lily and Amy joined her at the top of the stairs obviously hearing the worry in her voice.
"It's Olivia, come to the hospital wing" James told them and turned to walk back allowing them to process what he just told them.
Sirius sat next to Olivia holding her hand as he promised he would. Just as Sirius' head began to drop from his drowsy state he jolted back upright when the hospital doors opened and stood in front of Olivia' bed ready to protect her from whatever was going to come through. Thankfully Sirius sat back down in the same spot when he realised that it was James and three very worried looking girls rushing towards him.
Lily gasped out loud when she saw her best friend laying in the hospital bed. The side of her head matted with dry blood and her face bruised. Amy covered her mouth with her hand and Alice looked at the boys with tears in her eyes.
"What happened to her?" Alice asked not taking her eyes off Olivia' broken form. James looked to Sirius and realised his friend obviously had no intention of repeating the story again, so took it upon himself to explain the situation.
"That low life bastard!" Alice shouted clenching her hands into fists. Amy's eyes had narrowed into slits and you could practically see the cogs turning in her clever head of how to get revenge. Lily stood up and began to walk out of the room followed closely by Alice.
"Lily where are you going?" James called after her standing up as well.
"Where do you think? To teach that idiot a lesson!" Lily said through clenched teeth.
"Lily I'm not letting you go near him. Dumbledore has him in his office at the moment" James said walking over to her.
"Oh and you're going to stop me, I don't think so Potter he attacked my best friend and I know she would go ape shit at anyone who would have done this to me, so I'm just repaying the favour." Lily said folding her arms and glaring at James. The marauders mouths dropped open at Lily's less than lady like language.
"He'll hurt you!" James said now directly in front of Lily "You're staying here!" He said in a finalising tone.
"Make me!" Lily screamed back at him reaching for her wand.
"You know you two should just admit you have the hots for each other, but the arguing is fun to watch too." Came Olivia's broken whisper. All heads whipped round to where the sound came from. A chorus of "Olivia" "Shadow" and in Sirius' case "Liv" broke out across the hospital wing.
Olivia turned her head and winced at the movement,
"Ow." She said "That kind hurts and tincy bit, Isn't Christmas a beautiful time of year?" Olivia giggled at herself. The group around Olivia's bed looked at each other in confusion.
"Liv? You okay?" Sirius asked her gently torn between feeling relieved that she was okay, wanting to kill Liam and wanting to laugh his head off at her drug induced brain.
Olivia once again turned her head and looked into Sirius' eyes and widened her own.
"You stayed?" Olivia whispered to him as if it was a secret. Sirius nodded,
"Of course, I promised didn't I?" Sirius smiled gently at her and she returned the favour and told him she needed to tell him a secret, Sirius leant closer to her and she whispered in his ear
"Why is Lily a bear?" Olivia burst out laughing and looked over at Lily and began to laugh harder and the rest of the group couldn't help but join in. Madam Pomfrey came over to see what the noise was and was shocked to see Olivia laughing the hardest.
"Ah, Miss. Collins how are you feeling?" She asked reverting back to healer mode. Olivia looked deep in thought for a moment as if wondering what to say.
"I feel moderately decent" Olivia replied. Madam Pomfrey cocked her head at the young girls answer.
"Well that is good to hear considering you're not in the best shape right now" Madam Pomfrey turned to look at the rest of the group, "The mixture of potions in her system may have made her a little..." Madam Pomfrey trailed off looking for the right word.
"High?" Sirius suggested and the same time Lily called out strange.
"Loony?" Remus and James added. Madam Pomfrey smiled at the group.
"Yes that" She said and told them they had Dumbledore's permission to stay if they behaved and that Olivia would be more calm after about an hour.
It came down to more of an hour and half before Olivia's original state of mind returned and Dumbledore came in wanting a statement. Olivia' face paled and Sirius and Lily grabbed a hand each to give her comfort, knowing she obviously did not want to relive the events.
"Olivia I need you to tell us what happened." The headmaster started looking at the petrified girl as she looked around at her friend's faces begging them silently to not let her say anything. Sirius obviously caught on.
"Livvy you need to get it off your chest and he needs to be dealt with" Sirius' voice hardened when he said he.
Olivia took a deep breath and nodded before telling them every detail she could remember, hearing growls and gasps around her as she progressed on.
"So yeah that's pretty much what happened." Olivia finished and settled back on the pillows taking a deep breath.
"Olivia Mr. Higgins will be dealt with I can assure you" Dumbledore thanked her for her statement and rose to go back to his office to deal with Liam.
"Are you going to stay the night Sirius?" Olivia asked turning her attention to him.
"Yeah, I'm not leaving you" Sirius said looking into her eyes. She smiled at him, just as Lily walked back in with Remus who had accompanied her to the common room to make sure she did nothing stupid,
"Where'd you go Sherlock?" Olivia asked looking at Lily's arms full with books and parchment and a quill.
"Well I do believe you said that you promised to do your potions homework later and it looks like it's later." Lily smiled at Olivia.
"Whoa whoa hold up there Sherlock, don't you think me being hospitalized gives me free reign to not do homework?" Olivia asked looking mortified at the fact that Lily was trying to make her do homework.
"Nice try Watson. Homework." Lily said effectively ending the conversation.
Three days passed and Olivia was allowed to leave the hospital and go back to classes. This of course meant that Sirius, James, Frank, Remus and the girls had gotten extremely protective as they walked down to the great hall for breakfast. Olivia of course being herself had not wanted to hide away from Liam even though the group knew that deep down he scared her.
When Trixie and Leander had found out hell had broken loose and luckily a fight was prevented by the fact that Liam was still up in Dumbledore's office awaiting his punishment, they both stayed with her throughout her stay in the hospital. Leander had not been happy when he found out his little sister had been bashed and another threat was added to the list made for Liam. So far none of the group had seen Liam and Olivia had been thankful she didn't want her friends getting into trouble because of a low life like him. Though it seemed that nothing could prevent their anger.
The news had also somehow travelled round the school within the days that Olivia was in the hospital, so now everybody knew. Including the Quidditch team. Olivia, James and Sirius had all made the team in second year, Sirius and James as the star chasers and Olivia as the seeker. The whole team had become like a close family, however Olivia was the only girl and that of course made every boy on the team like a brother to her and therefore really protective.
Olivia and her friends sat down at the Gryffindor table seeming to ignore the stares that followed them as they moved.
"Hey Olivia, how was the hospital?" Emma shouted over from the Slytherin table with Orion next to her grinning like a Cheshire cat. Olivia turned round in her seat and smiled at her 'older' sister and brother.
"It was great, you know you should take up residence in there some time, I'll gladly show you the way" Olivia threw back making the whole of Gryffindor house 'oohh' at her comeback Olivia clicked her fingers and green goo sloshed down all over Emma soaking her from head to toe followed by glitter falling after making Emma look like a glittery monster. Emma glared at her, screeched her name and stomped out of the hall to clean herself up.
"And we're back" Olivia smiled at Sirius and high fived him.
Other than the sister rivalry and Slytherin glaring a hole in the Gryffindors backs, breakfast went smoothly. As the group stood up to leave for their first lesson, someone came up behind Olivia making her flinch at the contact. She turned quickly and came face to face with Josh Roland a 6th year Ravenclaw.
"Hey Olivia, just wondering if you wanted to hang out" Josh smiled a charming smile at her. Olivia knew this was a joke considering that he was Liam's best mate and one of the boys that she had indeed slept with.
"No thanks" Olivia replied sharply and turned to go when he held her arm to keep her from moving she began to breath harder and jumped at his touch.
"Come on Olivia me and you for old times' sake yeah" Josh smiled and Olivia paled she shook his arm off and Sirius noticed this time.
"Don't touch me!" she snarled at him and backed away with Sirius standing in front of her.
"Get lost Roland before you regret it." Sirius said in a deathly low voice. Suddenly the hall delved into silence and made Olivia and Sirius turn around. Olivia swore that she was going to pass out as Liam walked through the doors straight towards their group stopping when he saw them.
"Oh god." Olivia said in a strangle whisper and Amy wrapped an arm around her.
"Oh Olivia your looking better, you're looking very good actually" Liam said in a seductive voice and winked at her. Nothing more needed to be said and Leander jumped on the guy that had hurt his sister and began hitting him like nothing mattered. Soon enough Sirius, James, Frank and even Remus had jumped in to fight Liam and Josh, who had stepped in to aid Liam.
Then by magic the boys were all pulled off each other each sporting their own injuries but nothing as bad compared to Liam and josh who were rolling on the floor in pain.
"Enough!" Dumbledore shouted to get the attention on him. "Madam Pomfrey please escort Mr. Higgins and Mr. Roland to the hospital wing and do not let them leave until I speak with them. The rest of you to your lessons. Boys I will speak with you later" Dumbledore said directing the last part and the marauders and Leander.
The hall filtered out and Sirius pulled Olivia to the side. He had a cut on the side of his cheek and a blood droplet slid down his handsome face. Olivia reached up to wipe it away and he winced when she touched the cut which was now surrounded by a bruise.
"You didn't have to do that." Olivia admonished him as she continued to inspect his injured cheek.
"Yes I did Liv; I didn't want to do anything more than to hurt him like he hurt you." Sirius said and Olivia sighed. Digging in her bag she brought a packet of tissues that Lily had given her for god knows what Olivia never cried (not since she was seven) and rarely got colds, and when she did they were her excuse to get out of lessons to go to the hospital wing and get a potion, not use poxy tissues.
She ran the tissue across the cut, wiping the blood away.
"Ow!" Sirius said as she pushed a bit harder.
"Oh, don't be a baby you got into the fight now you have the consequences... oh my god I sound like Lily!" Olivia shook her head and finished up the reaching up on tip toes she kissed his cheek.
"Thank you" She whispered and grabbed his hand and together they walked to transfiguration talking like best friends did. Sirius however couldn't get the burning feeling of her kiss off his cheek.
