Chapter 5- Pain, Love and Fights.
Sirius spent the next two hours sitting by his bed that was currently holding Olivia. He couldn't help but just watch her and soak up beauty. Sirius couldn't believe that of all the people in the world he just had to fall in love with his best most treasured friend, he had never even had a girl friend for more than 2 weeks and here he was wanting to accept a long lasting relationship with a girl that had been by his side for 9 years.
Sirius was pulled from his musings when Olivia moaned and moved her head to the side and began breathing hard and clutching her side. Sirius eyes widened and he shouted out of the room to Emma who came running through moments later with James and Richard hot on her heels.
Olivia was now gasping for air and moaning in pain all the while clutching Sirius hand as tight as she possibly could in her weakened state. Sirius leant down to whisper in her ear words of comfort hoping to take away some of the pain.
"It's okay Livvy I'm here I'm not going to let them hurt you, I'll protect you with my life I promise." Sirius spoke softly to her and even through her pain Olivia managed to look up into the eyes of her best friend and murmur a quick thank you before she screamed.
"Emma what's wrong with her?" Richard asked his wife concerned about the girl he thought of as a daughter.
"It looks like after effects of the cruciatus curse, if it was put on her a number of times by more than one person it creates effects that happen later on, they can sometimes be worse than the curse itself." Emma said before running out of the room shouting back that they needed to keep Olivia calm while she went and got some more pain relief potion.
James went to stand on the other side of the bed and grabbed Olivia's other pale shaking hand,
"Come on Shadow I know it hurts but you have try and be calm, look think about the prank, that was good right I mean you saw McGonagall's face!" James told Olivia trying to take her mind of the pain. Olivia managed a weak smile and tried to get her breathing under control.
"Sirius" Olivia managed to get out in a strangled whisper.
"I'm here Livvy I promise I'm not going anywhere!" Sirius said and kissed her head gently just as Emma came back into the room carrying different potions.
"Is she okay? I'm sorry I had to go to the hospital we were out of the potions I needed." Emma spoke out of breath as she raced through the door. Emma was a healer at St. Mungos and was extremely good at her job that she had been doing for 20 years.
"Sirius, James I want you to each grab one of her arms and pull her up into a sitting position, it will be painful for her but if she lies down to long the potions won't work properly." Emma instructed her two sons. They both nodded and gently grabbed Olivia's arms.
"One, two, three" James counted and they lifted wincing at the scream that reached their ears,
"Sorry sweetheart I know it hurts but you need to sit up to take the potions" Emma said sympathetically and Olivia nodded and took the potions pulling a face each time either from the pain or taste of the potions.
Finally Olivia relaxed into the pillows as he breathing returned to normal.
"Ow." Olivia said in a broken whisper and Sirius breathed a sigh of relief thanking Merlin that she wasn't in as much pain as she had been.
"Jesus Christ Liv you know how to worry a guy!" Sirius breathed and smiled softly as Olivia returned the favour.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to just turn up, I didn't know where else to go." Olivia said and her eyes moistened and just for a split second Sirius thought that she might cry after all this time but in the space of a heartbeat they were clear again.
"Olivia what did they do to you?" Richard asked as he pulled up a chair to sit next to the bed with James, Sirius and Emma copying his actions. Olivia began shaking her head and looked down at her hands which were still trembling where they held Sirius' and James' hands.
Sirius looked up at his parents and brother and without speaking any words they got up and left Sirius silently telling them that she would only talk to him and he would call them back when it was time.
"Liv. Please tell me." Sirius pleaded once his family had gone, desperate to know what had happened.
"I can't Sirius I don't want to think about it." Olivia said, even when she was weak she was still stubborn as hell!
Sirius sighed realising he was going to have to dig deep to find out what had happened.
"Look Liv, remember when my dad used the cruciatus curse on me and I didn't want to tell you what it was." Sirius looked over at her and saw her nod briefly "Then you told me that I could tell you everything because you knew what it felt like and you were my best friend and you would always be there for me so what was the point of you not knowing?" Once again Olivia nodded and her shoulder slumped in defeat realising that she could not keep anything from him just as couldn't from her.
"My dad he- uh..." Olivia tried and failed to put words together as images of what had happened flooded her mind making her cringe.
"He what Liv, was it the cruciatus curse?" Sirius asked getting more and more panicked. Olivia looked up at him with frightened eyes.
"Well yes but he, after he..." Olivia once again flinched and Sirius had to think about what she was saying and when he thought he had it he thought he was going to be sick.
"Liv did he... did he use the killing curse?" Sirius asked in a shaky voice that betrayed how scared he was for his best friend.
Olivia looked down as if she was ashamed of herself and slowly nodded. Sirius had to blink a few times before he completely registered that if Olivia was not a powerful witch and did not possess strong wand less magic she would not be here and he would never had seen her again.
Abruptly Sirius stood and paced around the room trying so hard to keep control and not go after her family, but when he thought about how she must have felt to have her own father try to kill her he completely lost it. Sirius threw his fist into the nearest wall snapping a few bones in the process but not noticing.
"Sirius no please stop!" Olivia called over to him but Sirius was completely raging by this point. James, Emma and Richard all ran through the door, looking first to Olivia and after seeing she was okay turned to Sirius who had now leant his back against the wall breathing heavily.
"Sirius darling let me see your hand." Emma reached forward and grabbed Sirius' hand and took her wand out to begin healing the snapped bones.
"Sirius what happened?" Richard asked also coming over to his son whilst James went over to where Olivia was.
"Him." Was all Sirius could get out through his gritted teeth. Both Emma and Richard looked at him confused.
"Who?" They both asked at the same.
"Olivia's dad tried to kill her!" Sirius seethed and nearly punched the wall again had it not been for Emma healing his hand and Richard standing next to him to prevent him from doing anything else stupid. Gasps rang out around the room and everyone turned to face Olivia, their faces were replicas of what Sirius' had been when he found out. Full of disbelief and fear.
"Olivia is this true?" Richard asked the petrified girl. Olivia nodded and wished for once that she could cry all she really wanted right now was to let her emotions take her away and be in Sirius arms. The arms of the boy she loved. Loved? I love Sirius.
Distracted from her thought Olivia looked up at the faces of her loved ones and nodded slowly. Richard turned to walk out of the room and Emma followed him. James continued to look down at Olivia and stooped down to hug her tight and kiss her cheek before also leaving.
"Sirius please come and sit down." Olivia said her voice becoming stronger. Like a puppy on a leash he came over and sat down. Olivia rubbed his hand where it had been healed.
"What else did you expect Sirius?" Olivia asked and ran a hand through his soft black hair. Subtly Sirius shivered under her touch.
"Not that. How can someone do that to their own child?" Sirius added in disgust. Olivia shrugged but grimaced at the pain it brought.
Olivia proceeded to tell Sirius all that had happened in detail about the curses, killing and how she had knocked them out then told Lee and Trixie to go somewhere. Finally when she had finished Sirius told her to sleep, he stayed with her till he was sure she was asleep where he then walked out form his bedroom to tell his parents what had happened.
As it turned out Richard had gone straight to his Auror office and insisted that the Collins family be arrested and taken in for a trial. Being head Auror allowed him to get this all done in a matter of minutes. However as the whole Collins household was searched nobody was found and all manner of clothes and items were gone as well as the basement door blasted open.
"The bastards deserve more than Azkaban" Richard declared as he downed his second glass of scotch. Everyone present agreed.
It was decided there and then that Olivia would stay in Potter mansion just like Sirius around a real family and people that would love her unconditionally.
On a particular hot day during the last week of the holiday all five marauders were lounging around in their swim wear around the pool, excepting Olivia and Sirius who were dive bombing into the pool repeatedly soaking the others.
"Hello?" Came a honey sweet voice from behind the gate to the back garden. Everyone looked over at the gate and James stood up and walked over to it wand out as a precaution.
"Who is it?" James asked cautiously.
"It's Lily, Alice and Amy Potter, You invited us over remember?" Lily's voice came through again, no longer sweet but laced with annoyance at the fact that she was talking to James.
Even though James could tell it was her and what she had said was true he never forgot his parent's safety procedures.
"Prove it!" James said back and smirked at the annoyed huff.
"My name is Lily Potter, I absolutely hates your guts you gave me a bracelet in second year and I gave it to Olivia to catapult in your face during transfiguration!" Lily finished and Olivia burst out laughing at the memory causing James to glare at her and then open the gate.
Olivia got out of the pool and ran over to her friends all the while without realising that Sirius was taking the opportunity to look her up and down with nearly mouth watering interest, her tanned body and flat stomach which ended with a glittering belly piercing that was on show for the world while she was in her blue bikini, her large impressive... um assets and her gorgeous face which was shielded by his own mirrored sun glasses that she had borrowed (stolen) Olivia had always been beautiful but seeing her now feeling the emotions that he did was like a whole new breath of fresh air. He only stopped his mindless gawking when Remus threw a ball at his head and winked at him. Sometimes Remus, your timing is awful!
"Olivia we heard all about what happened, are you okay?" Lily asked concerned for her friend, she had been away on holiday when it had happened and had not had a chance to speak to Olivia since.
"Sherlock I am absolutely fine I promise you not even a bruise left, I'm as hot as ever." Olivia smirked and winked at her friend and she jumped when Sirius came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, their wet bodies clinging together at every curve, making them both stop everything even breathing.
Sirius loved the feeling of having her so close to him and suddenly remembered what he had come over for, before he became... distracted.
"Well you know what if your 'as hot as ever' Miss. Collins I will be glad to help you out with your current situation." He whispered into her ear and she shivered just as he grabbed her and lifted her into his arms bridal style and ran towards the pool.
"Sirius! Put me down!" Olivia said squealing and laughing at the same time.
"I think not!" He replied and with that he jumped into the pool with Olivia still cradled in his arms.
They both emerged seconds later coughing and spluttering but laughing all the same. As Olivia was basically sitting on Sirius' lap it put their eye level at the same height and as the gaze between their eyes deepened so did their need for each other. Sirius hands that rested on her smooth hips tightened ever so slightly as did her grip around his neck.
Even though the group wanted to see the two together they also did love a few jokes, so when it seemed that Sirius had decided to move forward each and every one of their group cannon balled into the pool covering the two love birds in sploshes of water.
When everyone was finally up from the water and Olivia had removed herself from Sirius, blushing madly, the group knew they were in trouble from the looks on the latter two's faces.
"Ah Shit!" Frank exclaimed and started to swim for the edge, the others following, just as Sirius and Olivia sucked in deep breaths and went underwater. They went around pulling the legs of person creating an all out swimming pool wrestling match.
Later into the evening when they had dried off and eaten the bbq dinner that Emma and Richard had so kindly prepared for them all, they were sat in front of the fire readying themselves for an innocent game of dares...Except James found the fire whiskey.
By the time it was midnight they still had not started their game of dares and had had a fair bit to drink, even Lily was slightly tipsy.
"Dares!" Olivia shouted over the music that they had put on to in Olivia's words 'rave' to.
"Yes!" James shouted back and ran (slightly wonky) to turn the music down. James sat down next to Lily who in her tipsy state didn't seem to mind, which obviously made James the happiest man alive. Sirius lay sprawled across the sofa and Olivia sat down on the floor by his head. Remus occupied the armchair nearest the fire while Amy and Alice lay on their stomachs in the middle of the floor.
"I have an idea." James spoke up.
"Don't hurt yourself." Lily said probably meaning to keep it to herself rather than out loud, everyone just started at her for a second before breaking down into laughing fits, while James playfully nudged Lily's shoulder causing her to smile at him. James' breath caught in his throat as he looked at the beautiful smile on Lily's face, one he had seemed so many times just not directed at him.
"Anyway like I was saying, maybe we should split into pairs and have team dares?" James said excitedly hoping they would say yes so he could pair up with Lily.
"Yeah that's great!" Alice perked up and looked over at Frank obviously hoping to be with him.
"Right okay then everybody choose your pair." It all kind of happened in a blur but each guy grabbed a girl with lightening reflexes. Sirius rolled off the couch and pulled Olivia basically onto his lap, Remus also went to the floor and pulled Amy's hand towards him, Frank did the same to Alice and James wrapped an arm around Lily. Each boy eyeing the others in secret threatening that they wanted to be with their girl even though none of the girls belonged to them, which may have hurt them slightly if they had not been drunk.
"Whoa dudes!" Olivia shouted out and grabbed another shot of fire whiskey,
"Right let's get on with this!" Amy said and even though she wasn't exactly sober she still wasn't fond of dares, but she was glad to be on the same team as Remus.
"Let's go" Olivia said standing up and jumping on the sofa to do a little sing and dance of Let's Go by Neyo and Calvin Harris (one of her muggle favourites)
As the night progressed into early morning all sorts of dares had been put out, Frank and Alice had been videoed singing a song and dance which had then been posted on a social network called Twitter on Lily's account, Amy and Remus had to do as many shots as they could in a minute, James and Lily much to James' delight had to kiss for longer than 20 seconds. Of course though the best dare had to go to Olivia and Sirius who had been crowned king and queen of dares since 1st year. They had to climb up to the 2nd floor balcony and jump into the pool, while wearing ridiculous outfits.
Of course though each couple still had one more dare to do, each dare had been taken from a hat that magically provided pieces of paper with dares written on them.
"Right this is the last one" James announced "But there is one for each group." He continued.
"Okay so this is Olivia and Sirius' one." Lily spoke "Right guys your dare says to lay on each other for the whole night and when it is time to sleep you must sleep in the same bed." Lily read and had to stifle a giggle at Olivia and Sirius' shocked faces. Out of all that the dares they had done today it seemed that due to the tension between them this was going to prove hard.
Olivia gulped and stood up to where Sirius was laid out on the sofa like earlier and looked at him and he also looked unsure. With a deep breath Olivia straddled him and then blanketed his body with her own, laying her head on his chest and wrapping her arms around his neck as his went around her waist. Both sighing contently they looked back at Lily as if to see if she was satisfied and then Olivia held her hand out to read the next dare for Amy and Remus.
"Right you guys Amy, Remus your dare is-"Olivia broke giggling and Amy looked nervous for a second. "Sorry, your dare is to kiss for 15 seconds every hour starting now." Olivia finished reading the dare.
Remus and Amy both closed their eyes and kissed for the first time deepening as time went on and by the time 15 seconds came they were both breathless but looking like they so desperately wanted more.
"So we will set an alarm for every hour so even when your asleep you can do it" Olivia smiled sweetly and passed the hat to Remus and by doing so pressed her body closer to Sirius and felt his muscles tense under her.
"Alice, Frank your dare is...wow... looks like you guys are having a little game of seven minutes in heaven." Remus said with raised eyebrows causing Alice to blush and Frank to try and hide the grin that threatened to spread over his face.
"You guys read Lily and James' and then go do that..." Remus said his neck heating up and both Sirius and Olivia laugh at the obvious discomfort that their friends felt about sexual situations, where they were both experienced.
"James and Lily your dare is to take a truth serum and say what you really think about each other." Alice read and then put the paper down to follow Frank into a separate room. James and lily both left to find a truth serum and Remus and Amy went off to get some more drinks. Leaving Olivia and Sirius alone.
"Soo..." Sirius started noticing the tension in the air between them especially for him and his newly developed feelings it was taking all his might not to pull her head down and kiss her and tell her he loved her, Though hadn't that nearly happened in the pool?
"You're very comfy." Olivia laughed and tried to relax, but how could she when she was sprawled on top of the guy she loved.
"Well thank you very much, glad I could be of assistance." Sirius replied glad that things weren't as awkward anymore. Olivia snuggled down into his chest more and sighed.
"You smell good too." Olivia commented and Sirius raised an eyebrow she was quite drunk.
Sirius went to reply but Lily stormed back into the room looking every bit pissed off with James following.
"Wow so the truth serum wasn't good?" Sirius asked taking in their facial expressions.
"She won't do it." James said folding his arms.
"YOU LOSE!" Olivia and Sirius both shouted and high fived.
"Who lost?" Frank asked as he walked back in holding Alice's hand causing everyone to stop and look at them.
"What?" They both said.
"So seven minutes in heaven and you're a couple, must have been a hella good seven minutes!" Remus announced as he walked back in with Amy, taking on some of Olivia's Americanisms.
"Very funny Moony, but we've actually been dating for the past month, but hey they were some good seven minutes." Frank told them and Alice slapped him on the arm playfully.
"Awhh so you too are like going out, that's so cute... I would hug you but I'm not allowed to move unless I need the bathroom you know so." Olivia congratulated them and they all laughed.
As Emma and Richard walked in to look at the scene before them they couldn't help but laugh. True to their word Olivia and Sirius had stuck to their dare and fallen asleep together on the couch, her head and hands on his chest and while his remained glued to her waist. Frank and Alice were curled up on the opposites couch in a somewhat same position. James and Lily were in separate sleeping bags with a large distance between them. However what shocked the married couple the most was seeing Amy and Remus snogging in the corner of the room due to their hourly alarm going off.
As they broke apart Remus stroked her cheek and placed a small loving kiss on her lips but drew back when she squeaked at seeing Mr and Mrs Potter. This of course woke up the rest of the group who all scrambled to their feet excepting Olivia and Sirius who seemed to be lost in one another again until James threw his pillow at them.
"Why is everybody throwing things at me lately?" Sirius asked.
"Maybe because you two keep staring at each other like love sick puppies!" James threw back.
"So why were you two kissing?" Emma asked raising her eye brow.
"Well it started as a dare but then I realised 15 seconds just wasn't enough so I realised that if I made Amy my girlfriend than I could kiss her whenever and for how long I wanted." Remus explained.
"Go Moony" Frank whooped and they all joined in glad that their night of fun had brought together two couples, pushed apart one and made the other completely and utterly confused.
"Thank you so much for having me Emma, it means so much to me." Olivia spoke softly to the women in front of her. Emma smiled with tears in her eyes and pulled Olivia into a hug.
"You are most welcome my darling, you're staying with us now no more going back there, as far as I am concerned you are my daughter." Olivia smiled and knew that if she could she would probably be holding back tears at the moment.
The small family finished saying goodbye telling the three teenagers to behave earning the scoffs and laughs. What stumped Olivia the most is when Mrs. Potter whispered in her ear to stop denying herself the love she craved when she knew it was right in front of her.
"Olivia!" A voice shouted and Olivia turned to see Trixie running towards her. They had only spoken via letters since they had separated to risk being caught by any lurking deatheaters.
"Trixie!" Olivia shouted back and dropped her trunk to run full pelt at her sister grasping her in a giant hug, both babbling about how much they missed each other. Leander joined in the hug halfway through while Sirius picked up Olivia's fallen suitcase.
Sirius felt his blood begin to boil the moment that Bradley Scott a seventh year Hufflepuff sided up against Olivia. Feeling possessive over his girl, But she isn't your girl yet!, Sirius shook away his annoying subconscious that seemed to be his mortal enemy recently and walked over to stand behind Olivia.
"I just wanted to know if maybe you wanted to go out some time when we get to Hogwarts." Bradley asked ignoring Sirius, obviously thinking that because he was older he was better... Stupid boy.
Sirius growled and Olivia looked up at him and smiled well he thought it was a smile since he refused to look away from Bradley and could only look from the corner of his eye.
"Thanks but no thanks Bradley." Olivia said half turning away.
"So are you like frigid now or something because of what happened, you need to get over yourself." Bradley sneered and Sirius hit him square in the jaw but before he could get another punch in Olivia held onto one arm and Richard held onto the other. Bradley got up and walked away, embarrassed that he had been put on his ass by a sixth year in front of a platform full of people.
"Hey it's okay." Olivia spoke and stroked Sirius' cheek.
"You couldn't even get on the train before you started causing trouble." Richard said shaking his head "This is going to be an interesting year." He finished and yet he had no idea how true his statement was.
As they had arrived back at Hogwarts on a Saturday they had the weekend to relax before lessons resumed on Monday. Their first lesson as sixth years began with defence against the dark arts.
"Settle down class." The stand in professor said to the class. Professor what's his name was filling in for their normal defence teacher while he was away with the flu, this professor had no control over the class and the marauders were taking much advantage of that, throwing things around the class aiming directly at Slytherins who they shared the class with, the marauders scoring each other when they hit a certain part of the body.
Olivia's bouncy ball she had conjured and thrown hit Snape right where a guy didn't want to be hit, he groaned in pain and clutched himself, cursing Olivia.
"SCORE!" Olivia shouted and high fived Remus and Sirius who were on either side of her.
"You little bitch, you were aiming there!" Snape growled through gritted teeth. Olivia shrugged innocently,
"How could I aim there dearest Snivellous, it's far too small to be used as a target." Olivia smirked while the room howled with laughter, even some of the Slytherins.
When the class finally settled down due to McGonagall being called in, the teacher took his stance at the front of the class and flicked his hands to the board where two words appear and Olivia's face drained to the palest white.
Unforgivable Curses.
The whole group turned to look at her as well as some of the deatheater wannabes who smirked evilly in her direction obviously they had heard what had happened.
"Now class there are three types of unforgivable curses who can name them for me." The professor continued and one by one the curses were called out. When it came to the last one Malfoy raised his hand and answered,
"The last would be the killing curse professor" Malfoy spoke with a chilling voice and turned to Olivia,
"I do apologise if you were going to answer that Olivia, I know how you feel about that curse and recent events." He grinned and Olivia stood up grabbing her stuff and began to walk to the classroom door but before she made it there she made sure to give Malfoy a hard knee to the balls for good measure before she broke into a full run with Sirius shouting her name behind her.
Sirius stood up and ran straight after Olivia also giving Malfoy pain however punching him in the face rather than the balls. Maybe his dad was right this was gonna be one hell of a year.
Sirius ran all the way to the bush that covered the entrance to their cave knowing full well that she would be there. Sirius climbed down the steps and turned to see Olivia standing in front of the pool throwing stones creating ripples in the water. Sirius heart was pounding against his rib cage so hard he thought for a second that cracked ribs may be a possibility.
"Liv?" Sirius asked but she didn't jump at his voice just continued throwing rocks.
"I'm sorry I over reacted, I just I kept seeing...That." Olivia shivered and the thoughts.
"Hey, you didn't overreact what happened to you is horrible." Sirius said standing next to her and also began to throw stones.
"It just seems that I attracted trouble last year" Olivia sighed and then straightened up and then dropped the stones,
"But you know what I'm done with people taking advantage of me, this year I want everything to change starting now." Olivia smiled and began to walk back to the entrance.
Sirius thought he was going to pass out from heart failure but he knew he needed to tell her, while she continued to walk away he couldn't help but blurt out the words that had burned his mind for weeks now.
"I love you." It all came out as one quick word but Olivia snapped around and looked at him eyes wide and Sirius realised that he might as well carry on there was no going back now.
"I love you Olivia. I- I realised that things were different after the whole Liam thing and I knew that I wanted to protect you and be with you so you never had to get hurt again and then the whole thing with your parents happened and I saw you laying in my bed and I realised then that I want to be the one by your side making you laugh, protecting you and be that person you share every part of your soul with, and I know Olivia I am completely and irrevocably in love with you and I want to be with you as long as you'll have me." Sirius finished and took a breath glad that he said what needed to be said but anxious to see her reaction... was this the end of their friendship? Or the beginning of something so beautiful that nature bowed in its presence.
Olivia just stared at me for a few moments wide eyes processing what I said.
"Liv...please say something, I'm sorry I didn't want to tell you in case it ruined our friendship which is exactly what I've done." Sirius sighed rubbing his hand down his face then to the back of his neck.
Olivia walked forward to Sirius and never slowed as she closed the gap between them and pressed her lips to his, Sirius didn't hesitate and instantly wound his arm around her waist pulling her tighter against him, his other hand tangling in her curly hair, cupping her head and tilting it to the side to deepen their kiss. Olivia moaned when their tongues touched and thought that nothing could get better than kissing the man that she loved. Olivia moved her arms from around his neck, over his shoulder and down his chest before sliding up the material and feeling his muscles underneath that's she had longed to feel for weeks and sunk into the kiss. When they pulled back they were both breathless but their eyes betrayed their longing.
"I love you too Sirius." Olivia said honesty blazing on her every feature. That was all Sirius needed, he grinned so much he thought his face would split and pulled her back into his embrace to kiss her all over again.
They stayed in their cave for a little over 2 hours talking like they normally would only this time Sirius had Olivia cradled in his arms in a lovers embrace rather than a friends every so often having to kiss her to make himself believe that this was happening and not a dream. Not that Olivia minded.
They finally decided that they needed to get back before their friends decided to come and look for them. Even though it would be impossible considering that their cave didn't show up on the map.
They walked through the grounds hands linked up and even though they had done this so many times before it felt more intimate.
"Race ya back?" Olivia asked Sirius as she stepped in front of him and continued to walk backwards a gleam in her eyes.
"You're on!" Sirius challenged and they both began to run coming in at a draw. They were both panting and trying to catch their breath but Sirius left no time for that as he grabbed Olivia's waist and pulled her to him for a long hard kiss.
"What the f-" James started to say as he rounded the corner to see his two best friends snogging like there was no tomorrow but someone slapped a hand over his mouth to prevent the rest of his curse coming out and to his surprise it was Lily and he let himself revel in the touch of her skin against his even if she wasn't touching him for reasons she wanted to.
Sirius and Olivia broke apart at James voice but never released their arms from around each other.
"YES! That's it pay up people I win the bet!" Remus shouted and then stopped "Wait you are together aren't you or was that just some random snogging going on?" Remus asked hoping he hadn't just made a fool of himself.
"Yes Remy we are together." Olivia answered and Remus went back to collecting his money while Olivia went back to her previous activities ignoring the groans of her friends.
"Maybe them being together is bad I mean they were touchy feely as friends, oh god what have we got ourselves into." Alice asked burying her head in Frank's chest and everyone nodding in agreement.
The rest of the week past quite quickly especially with the news that the two most wanted people in school had gotten together spread around quicker than any other gossip that had graced the halls of Hogwarts.
"But I wanted to have a go with him before I left school!"
"Damn I never got to be with her, was she good?"
"They won't last they'll be over and shagging with the rest of the school in a few weeks."
Were just some of the comments that Olivia and Sirius heard throughout the week, causing a few punches and bitch fights to break out but nothing too serious. Of course that was too good to last.
"So you finally shacked up with him then?" Emma sneered at her sister as she blocked Olivia and the marauders way out from the hall.
"Yes I did now move." Olivia said darkly remembering that night. Emma had not been put on trial when she had been found because she was not yet 17 and therefore could not be sent to Azkaban. The other members of her family had not yet been found.
Sirius moved up behind Olivia and placed his hands on her hips to prevent her from doing anything, at some point Trixie and Leander had also made an appearance and the whole hall was stunned into silence.
"Back off Emma." Trixie threatened her sister, her eyes promising hell if she didn't.
"Why, I'm just congratulating little Olivia on her new love life." Emma tried the innocent act on.
"No you didn't, move or I'll make you!" Olivia said clenching her fists tightly at her sides.
"Okay well I just wanted to give my approval to you for getting with a pure blood, he may be a blood traitor but that's better than a mudblood I suppose." Emma shrugged and Olivia stepped forward slightly as did the group surrounding her.
"Baby calm down." Sirius whispered in her ear even though inside he was also fuming at her disgusting words.
"But then again I shouldn't give approval considering your best friends with your own little red haired mudblood over there!" Emma gestured to where Lily stood anger crossing her face.
That's when Olivia lost it, she ripped free of Sirius' grip and slapped her sister around the face of hard that the smack echoed off the walls of the hall, but she didn't stop there and pulled Emma's hair down and kicked her shins but by this time Emma had begun to fight back also grabbing a handful of Olivia's hair and pulling hard. The hitting and scratching didn't cease as the girls felt themselves being pulled off each other.
"You bitch!" Olivia shouted at her sister as she was finally pulled away into to Sirius and James' arms and Emma into Leander's, who was only touching her to get her away from his sister.
"What I'm telling the truth you hang around with scum Olivia, someone needs to tell you!" Emma said calmly and smiled.
Olivia went to lunge forward again but Sirius and James kept a firm grip on her.
"Baby no, come on walk away you're better than her, you know her opinion doesn't matter to you." Sirius said to her.
"You stay the hell away from my friends Emma or I swear to god I'll break your legs, heal them and break them again!" Olivia threatened as she walked out of Sirius' grip and out of the hall, hundreds of eyes following her.
Sirius let Olivia pace around the boy's dormitory as she let off her steam, pillows, books and other items had been thrown around the room until she finally flopped down on Sirius' bed with a groan.
Sirius lay on his side next to Olivia and smoothed her hair off her face running his fingers over the small bruise on the side of Olivia's face before he moved forward to kiss them. Olivia moved over to lay her head on his chest and he ran his hands down her back.
"I love you Sirius." Olivia said as she kissed his chest through his t-shirt. Sirius lifted her chin to look at him directly into his eyes so she knew that he was telling the complete and honest truth,
"I love you more than anything Liv, never doubt or forget that." Sirius spoke and brushed his lips against hers creating tingles. Olivia laid her head back on his chest and sight on content.
"You are my best friend and my soul mate Liv, I've always got you." Sirius whispered as they both drifted off the sleep, each in the arms of their soul mate.
