Chapter 7- Parties, Sticks and candles.

James stood against the wall nearest the Ravenclaw common room entrance drinking a bottle of butterbeer as he looked out over the masses of people.

It was Trixie's seventeenth birthday and her friends including Olivia and Leander had planned a surprise birthday for their sister coming of age.

"Olivia why are you coming back to my common room?" Trixie asked her sister suspiciously.

"Well it is your birthday and I thought we could spend some time together as I am such a nice sister." Olivia replied innocently.

"Okay?" Trixie said in an unsure tone. Her birthday so far had been like it had been for the last 7 years at Hogwarts. If her birthday fell on a school day like today had been she would get up and have breakfast where she would receive all her presents from her brother, sister and friends. When she was done it was off to classes for the rest of the day, if she was lucky like last year she would get to witness Olivia pranking Emma somehow. This year her birthday had fallen on a Friday which she didn't mind because if her and Olivia ended up staying up late she could lay in the next morning.

The two sisters talked the whole way back to the common room, they talked about Sirius and Trixie's crush on a Gryffindor seventh who Olivia knew from Quidditch, which excited Trixie knowing that her sister could introduce her.

"So have you gone all the way with Sirius?" Trixie asked slowly not sure how her sister would react.

"Not yet, but I don't think it will be long I love him too much to wait any longer and I know he feels the same way, there's always tension when we're alone but when things start going somewhere people just seem to interrupt!" Olivia glared at Trixie.

"Hey it's not my fault you chose to make out in a broom closet if things were going to go that far that is not the place to do it!" Trixie defended herself, she had found Olivia and Sirius getting hot and heavy in a broom closet down the corridor that she patrolled when she was perfecting.

"You could've knocked!" Olivia said back and Trixie looked at her as if she had grown a second head.

"It was a bloody broom closet!" Trixie said throwing her hands up in the air.

"Yeah well don't pretend you've never made out with someone in a broom closet, I know you have when I was in third year you were with Adam Marshall" Trixie blushed and Olivia laughed.

When they got to the common room entrance Olivia stepped aside so that Trixie could answer the question, Olivia was smart but never understood the questions that were given and required careful thinking.

Both girls walked in and carefully moved around furniture as there was not light.

"Who turned all the lights off?" Trixie asked her arms out in front of her to prevent herself from banging into anything, which didn't work as she knocked into Olivia who nearly fell back on her ass.

"Whoa dude! Use your wand genius." Olivia said sarcastically Trixie was supposed to be the smart one here.

As Trixie flicked her wand and the lights came back on everybody that had been hiding in the dark and laughing at the girls as they walked through the dark jumped from their places and shouted a loud 'Surprise'

Trixie jumped back into Olivia's arms whose face was now covered in a large grin and whispered in her sister's ear.

"Happy Birthday!" Trixie turned round and glared at Olivia before pulling her in a hug and the music began to play.

James laughed as he thought about Trixie's face as she had walked in and then looked around the room spotting each of their group.

Frank and Alice were sitting on the sofa talking with some of the Ravenclaw, Frank was wearing simple jeans a red polo shirt, in fact all the boys from our group seemed to be wearing red huh? I guess you can never let go of your house pride after all. Alice was wearing a soft pink hem dress and medium sized silver heels. Amy was off in the corner to talking to Lily and Remus. Amy wearing a grey skater dress with black wedges while Lily was wearing a green sweetheart skater dress and black high heel pumps.

To James she looked absolutely breathtaking and he wanted nothing more than to go over to her and hold her close, to sway with her to the beat of the music and then to gently kiss her on the lips. However good that sounded what he wanted more was to have the privilege to call her his. James sighed knowing that with how she felt about him it was highly unlikely he would ever get that opportunity.

James was brought out of his brooding when he looked to his left and began to smile and shake his head. Tucked away in the corner stood Sirius and Olivia, Sirius was back right up against the wall and was holding Olivia flush against his body, her arms around his neck and his kept swapping between her head, back and ass. If an alien decided to land right this very moment James wouldn't find him stupid if he thought that the two of them were trying to eat each other. Then he would be a smart alien.

James walked over to the happy couple with Remus who was looking at them as a slight blush crept up on his cheeks.

"Can't you two keep your hands off each other for more than two minutes?" Remus asked grabbing a shot of fire whiskey and downing it in one, I raised my eyebrows at him.

The couple broke apart breathing heavily but didn't move anything else. Olivia was wearing Light blue high waisted denim shorts, a black lace long sleeved top that was tucked into her shorts and five inch black high heels with three bows on the straps.

As Olivia turned to face them you could see her cheeks were flushed from both the alcohol she had consumed and her kiss. Olivia looked at Remus and cocked her head to one side.

"Oh little Remus... dearest moony-kins a couple as hot as us" Olivia stopped and pulled Sirius to her so their heads were next to each other "should be allowed to touch each other every second of every day and I plan to take advantage of that... I mean seriously look at the hotness coming off of us... feel." Olivia grabbed Remus' hand and put it on her arm and left it there for about five seconds before she smiled mischievously.

"BAM!" Olivia shouted and pushed Remus back hard enough for him to stumble and nearly fall. Olivia broke down in to hysterics singing how 'hot' she and Sirius were.

Sirius looked at his girl and laughed knowing that she was completely and utterly off her face. Sirius had decided that after all the crap she had had to put up with last year he would let her release all of that and he would stay sober to make sure she didn't go too over the top. Bloody hell Black when did you become such a sappy guy? Oh yeah when you fell in love... fair enough.

"You do make me laugh when you're drunk Shadow." Frank said as he joined the group it was now all five marauders standing in a circle, well four considering Olivia was spinning in the middle of them. She stopped when Frank spoke to her.

"I'm not that drunk silly Stripes!" Olivia laughed at him and playfully slapped his chest.

"Yeah you're right, you're completely out of your face." Remus concluded and Olivia smiled at him brining her bottle back up to her lips and taking a long sip.

"Come on moony lighten up and have some fun... LILY!" Olivia suddenly shouted turning towards Lily who jumped at the sound of her name.

"Yes Watson?" lily asked with a raised eyebrow and Olivia gestured her over with one hand, when she came over Olivia dragged her straight over to the make shift dance floor.

Lily by this point was also quite far gone with the alcohol, since she didn't normally drink much the effects were a lot stronger.

"They're going to have killer headaches in the morning." Sirius said to his friends without taking his eyes of his girlfriend's now swinging hips and swishing hair. She was absolutely beautiful even when she wasn't trying to be.

"Who is?" Amy asked as she came over and wrapped her arms around Remus from behind.

"Lily and Olivia." Remus answered her as he turned around and gathered her in his arms, kissing the top of her head and both of them sighed content in just holding each other.

"It'll be worse than normal, they've been mixing drinks as well." Alice also came over and tucked herself under Frank' arm.

James looked around the group as they each held their girls friends and looked at them as though they were they most treasured blessing in their lives which they were. Even though Sirius wasn't holding Olivia at least he still had a girl to call his, to protect, to love and to hold. James couldn't help but feel slightly out of place and slightly jealous over what his friends had, not that he resented them for it, he just wished that he could have what they had, just in the version of red hair and emerald green eyes.

"Okay time to sober them up!" Sirius said getting to his feet and I realised why. Olivia and Lily had climbed up on the coffee table and begun to do the Macarena making sure to give an extra swing of their hips when the time came for it. James then knew that Sirius was getting possessive and didn't want all the other boys in the room looking at Olivia like a piece of meat. He also stood and went over, not caring if he wasn't Lily's boyfriend but wanting to get other guys eyes off of Lily's body and not just for him, he knew lily would be mortified if she knew clearly what she was doing.

"Where are we going?" Olivia asked Sirius as he carried her down from the table.

"You're going to bed." Sirius said leaving no room for argument, but of course with Olivia there was always room.

"But we're having so much fun!" Olivia said spreading her arms and nearly hitting Sirius in the face had he not moved slightly.

"Yeah but now we're going, you're very drunk and I don't want you to get hurt." Sirius said kissing her cheek and smiling his charming smile.

"Fine but I need to say goodbye!" Olivia said attempting to fold her arms and failing so she ended up looking like a four year old.

After saying goodbye to her friends and say happy birthday, which came out more as HAAAAAPPPPYYYYYYYYYY BIRTHDDDAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! To Trixie Sirius and Olivia left.

James looked at Lily who was now swaying and giggling to herself by the wall he had been standing by earlier.

"Lily I should get you back now, I know you probably don't want me to do it but I want to make sure you get back safely." James said and waited to be yelled at but instead she just looked at smiled holding out her hand for him to take. Wow she was very drunk.

As they walked back James made sure to keep a firm grip on Lily's hand especially when she began to sway. Lily stopped halfway through the corridor and pulled her heels off to carry them.

"You okay?" James asked tentatively, careful not to get on her bad side when they were doing fine.

"It's not like I hate you anymore." Lily replied looking at him and James stood still for a heart beat before moving again knowing he was going in the right direction and not just to the common room, but to where his heart wanted to be.

Olivia tip toed down the girl's dormitory the next morning trying to make as little noise as possible due to the aching pound all over her head. As she reached the bottom of the stairs a 5th year walked past her saying hi in a normal voice but to Olivia it felt like one hundred elephants in a stampede going over her head.

"Shhhh!" She whispered back to him not meaning to be horrible but couldn't help it, the group turned around at her distress and began laughing and Olivia moaned clutching her head.

Walking over to her friends who occupied the sitting area she looked over at Lily who was laying on the sofa with her head in Amy's lap and feet in Alice's.

Olivia walked round to where Sirius was sitting and deposited herself on his lap and curled up like a little child.

Sirius looked down at his badly hung over girlfriend and even though her hair was tangled and she had bloodshot eyes that would barely stay open she still managed to pull off being absolutely gorgeous.

Olivia was still in her thin cream pyjama bottoms and Sirius's quidditch jumper. Olivia rested her head on Sirius chest and looked up at him through squinted eyes.

" Please tell me we have hangover potion" Olivia whispered to Sirius and he leant down to kiss her forehead.

"Remus has just gone to see Professor Slughorn to see is he has any." Olivia sighed and snuggled down deeper into his arms hoping his presence would drown out her pain.

10 minutes later Remus came back in with two vials and looked at the two girls with both sympathy and disappointment.

"You look rough." Remus told Olivia as she sat up from Sirius and Olivia winced at the loudness of his voice.

"Thanks Remy!" Olivia whispered and took the potion cringing at the taste and watching Lily do the same.

"Thank Jesus, Mary and Moses for potions!" Lily exclaimed and every laughed.

Monday came around quickly unfortunately for the marauders and co, who had enjoyed their weekend.

Their first lesson this morning was care of magical creatures thankfully all of them were in the same group so it wasn't bad and Hagrid was their Professor so they normally had a good class.

They all stood right at the back laughing while Hagrid was talking about some creature none of them were really listening as they had no real reason to want to pass this class.

Each girl stood in the arms of her boyfriend in same way or form, even Lily and James were standing closely side by side. Hmm talk to Lily about this Olivia noted in her head.

Sirius and James moved further forward through the crowds and Olivia knew that there was a bunch of deatheater wannabes down the front and they had some sort of prank in mind.

"So my good friend, has Sherlock finally realised ones feelings?" Olivia said putting on a posh English accent. Lily laughed and looked at her before looking around, then back to Olivia.

"You can't say anything Olivia promise me we're just people who realise that we are in the same group and well I can't hate him if you lot are always bringing our groups together can I?" Lily said returning back to her up tight attitude. Olivia shook her head at Lily and knew that it wouldn't be long now.

Lily turned her attention back to the front of the class and began taking notes again. Olivia turned to the front but not to listen she was trying to see if the boys had done the prank yet, but since there were no screams yet she assumed not.

Five more boring minutes passed and nothing happened the boys were seriously biding their time and she was getting bored doing what she actually was supposed to be doing.

Suddenly someone came up behind Olivia and grabbed her hips hard pulling her body up against someone else. Olivia turned sharply and looked into the face of Marcus Flint the Slytherin quidditch captain and class A jerk.

Olivia wouldn't have panicked if it had been Sirius, but she knew that Sirius would not be like this with her. Flint's hands on her hips squeezed painfully tight and Olivia winced and tried to shove him away, she looked behind her and realised that no one could hear her he had a silencing charm over them.

"You're going to come with me and we're going to have some fun." Flint sneered at her and Olivia's stomach dropped as the thoughts of that night with Liam came rushing back. Olivia fought harder as he began to drag her back towards the forest clearing.

Olivia managed to kick her foot into his groin making him moan in pain but unlike Liam he didn't let go but the concentration needed to keep the silencing spell in tact was broken and she screamed.

"LET ME GO!" Olivia knew she sounded desperate but she didn't want this to happen and she knew that is she didn't scream it really would.

The whole class turned to see what was going on but Flint didn't seem fazed as he continued to dragging a screaming Olivia out, who was blinded by images of that night with Liam.

Suddenly Flint released Olivia and she went to the floor shaking and pulling her knees up to her chest, while the girls came and wrapped their arms around her trying to calm her down.

When Sirius saw Flint taking his girlfriend away he picked up the nearest and heaviest thing that he could find, that just happened to be a small branch and chucked it straight at Flints head. Luckily he had a good aim due to him being a chaser and didn't hit Olivia.

Sirius watched as she went to the floor and curled up and the girls went to comfort her. Sirius lost it when he thought of the normally strong girl shaking on the floor, he lunged forward and repeatedly threw punches at the scum.

Finally James, Remus and Frank pulled Sirius off of Flint and he stood up wiping the blood that covered most of his face and glared at Sirius before smirking down at Olivia who cringed and made Sirius struggle to get free of the boys grip.

"You stay the hell away from her Flint or I swear to god..." Sirius trailed off making his threat clear that whatever he would do, it would not be pleasant.

Hagrid walked over to Flint and pushed him slightly forward and told him they were going to the head masters office. Good. Sirius thought to himself and then walked over to Olivia.

Sirius sank down next to her and pulled her up into his lap and folded his arms around her hoping to stop her trembling but with no use.

"Shhhh baby its okay, I'm not going to let him hurt you, I'm so sorry please Liv, calm down." Sirius cooed to her and gradually began to calm down from the steady rocking motions that Sirius was making. She felt like a child. If only she had some tears to complete the process, what she wouldn't give for some she could really do with an emotional release.

Sirius looked up from Olivia and looked around the forest realising that everyone else from the class was gone and only the marauders and the girls remained.

"I'm good now." Olivia said in a soft small voice but didn't loosen her grip on Sirius. Everyone looked down at Olivia who smiled at all of them but they could all tell she was hiding behind that smile.

They managed to get Olivia standing up, even though her legs still felt like Jelly. Sirius kept his arm wrapped around her at all times in case she fell but no-one spoke the whole way back.

Sirius found Olivia sitting on her own in the common room. He had gone looking for her when she failed to turn up to the great hall for dinner with the girls.

Olivia was sitting on the sofa with her favourite book "Alone on a wide wide sea" By Michael Morpurgo Sirius had lost track of how many times she had read that book, but knew that she would read it when she felt emotional.

Sirius walked up behind her and stroked her hair away from her face and leant down to kiss her head.

"What are you doing here?" Olivia asked him taking her eyes of her book.

"I've got a surprise for you." Sirius said and smiled slightly and pulled her hand to get her to follow him. Olivia gave him a real genuine smile and followed him out of the common room as she would follow him to the ends of the earth.

Sirius had led her to the bush that covered the entrance to their special place and smiled again, she really did love coming here with him.

"I want you to close your eyes while you get down." Sirius said and brushed a curl behind her ear as she smirked at him.

"Have you gone crazy Sirius Black, you know I'm a klutz at the best of times but now you want me to close my while walking down steep steps?" Olivia asked in an are-you-freaking-serious tone.

Sirius smiled and closed her eyes gently and leaned in to whisper in her ear,

"I'll catch you... I'll always catch you Liv." Sirius said and then disappeared from next to her.

"Bloody brilliant." Olivia muttered under her breath knowing that this was going to end in her falling on her face.

"Come on then, I'm at the bottom." Sirius called up to her.

"Can I at least have my eyes open to get to the entrance?" Olivia asked

"Uh hang on... Yeah okay." He said hesitating slightly. He really didn't want her to see something.

"Gee thanks." Olivia called back sarcastically and walked up to the entrance where she looked down to see Sirius smiling.

"Right, now turn around and close your eyes again." Sirius instructed. Olivia did as she was told and stepped backwards to put her foot on the first step.

"Oh good lord." Olivia breathed and stuck her finger up at Sirius who chuckled below her.

When Olivia was nearly at the bottom she felt Sirius hands on her hips and he picked her up and down the last steps while her eyes were still closed. Sirius stood her in front of him with his hands on the tops of her thighs, he kissed her cheek and told her to open.

Olivia couldn't help the gasp that came from her when she took in the scene before. Olivia hadn't thought it possible that the cave could get any prettier but then again Sirius was always surprising her.

There was a red and white traditional picnic blanket set up in the grass patch in the middle just under the tree where their initials were carved and a picnic basket sat on top as well as a champagne bottle in a bucket of ice next to that. There were little tea light candles everywhere, on the grass band, hanging from the tree, they were even floating on the water, just like little tiny boats. Olivia didn't notice until she turned her head but as she looked up she saw hundreds maybe thousands of white roses strung up by vines covering the ceiling- Sirius had always known that white roses where her favourite.

"Sirius this must have cost you a fortune" Olivia gasped still not looking back at him but taking in the sight before her.

"You're worth so much more." Sirius whispered staring at the back of her head.

Suddenly music came from somewhere and Olivia looked and recognised a music station next to the picnic blanket that was currently playing "Wonderful Tonight" By Eric Clapton.

Olivia removed herself from Sirius' embrace and walked over to the pool and overlooked the sea of candles in awe and delight.

"Sirius this is so beautiful." Olivia spoke as Sirius came and stood next to her, their arms brushing together.

"Don't get me wrong this is going to sound corny but I don't care because nothing and I mean absolutely nothing compares to how beautiful you are to me... Inside and out." Sirius spoke looking into her eyes the whole time.

Olivia smiled at him and knew if she could she would be crying right now. But instead she just settled for moving towards him and closing the gap between their lips.

The kiss felt different for some reason, not in a bad way in a more intimate way not that Olivia cared she was more than happy to go with it.

Sirius started walking her back to the grass bank while taking off her coat that she had put on to protect her from the harsh November winds. Olivia returned the favour for him all the while still kissing him. Sirius reached down and grabbed the hem of her shirt and pulled it off sending a shiver over her body, but the minute she got rid of his shirt and felt his warm skin on hers nothing else mattered.

Sirius backed her up all the way to the bank and slowly lowered her down so that he could lay on top of her blanketing her body with his own. Olivia looked up at him attempting to control her breathing.

"I love you Sirius." Olivia spoke to him while her lips brushed his.

"And I love you Liv now and always." Sirius told her and put more pressure into their kiss both of them losing themselves in the other.

When the only words they needed to say had been said, they used their bodies to do the rest of the talking, spending the rest of the night loving each other in their special place that now had so much more meaning.
