Ellie the Marauder | Sirius Black

|3| Do You Have A Hot Date?

It was officially Wednesday. The day I, and the tag along mutt, would tutor the beautiful Noah Bletchley. I snuggled closer to the warmth radiating next to me. I was so comfortable, I didn't even question where the warmth was coming from. I guess my sleepy brain assumed it was Alice. She usually hopped into my bed when thunderstorms came around, but I didn't remember it raining. Strange. I pushed the thoughts aside and snuggled even closer to the cozy warmth and fell back asleep as peacefully as ever.

I finally awoke to sniggering. I heard a click and saw a bright light through my eyelids. Peaking open an eye, I realized what was so damn interesting.

I quickly tried to shove the sleeping boy next to me away, but he only tightened the grip of the arm firmly placed around my waist. "Uggghhhaaa... Not againnnn." I groaned.

Our audience was cackling in amusement at this point and had the camera out again. The camera clicked right as Sirius nuzzled into the crook of my neck and I flipped off James and Remus.

What a lovely beginning to the day.

This was unfortunately not an unprecedented event. In fact, it was about the fifth or sixth time it's happened. Usually, I make the dog sleep on the floor when I crash in the boy's dorms. However, on nights like last night when we both accidentally fall asleep, we always end up snuggling. That's actually how I earned the bloody awful nickname of mine.

Still in the clutches of the sleeping Sirius, I thought quickly and transformed into my kitty cat form. I had foolishly hoped that this would help me wriggle my way out, but it seemed to have the opposite effect. He cuddle closer the fluffy cat version of me and started absentmindedly petting my head. It was actually really nice, and could tell I was about to start purring so I quickly transformed back into human Ellie. Sirius began playing with my hair.

The other two pulled out the camera again and I just gave a sigh of utter defeat.

I eventually wriggled away from my sleeping captors iron grip and bounded past the girlishly giggling James and Remus. I ran up the stairs to the girls dorm and slammed the door a bit too hard.

"Merlin! Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning!" exclaimed Lily as she took in my disgruntled state. "Or maybe the wrong bed?" she guessed.

I muttered a few oaths under my breath as I grumpily gathered my uniform and made my way toward the bathroom.

"Oh no. Did it happen again?" asked Alice.

"Yes." I huffed.

Alice and Lily were laughing hysterically as I shuffled into the shower. Some friends they are...

Alice Fortescue, along with Lily, was one of my best girl friends. She had a heart shaped face, short brown hair, and sweet brown eyes that made you made you feel safe enough to tell her all your secrets. But don't let it fool you. She was fierce. She was planning to go on to be an auror with her boyfriend Frank. Frank was a tall boy with short curly brown hair, and a deep love for Herbology and Quiddich. He was in our year, and even shared a dorm with the other Marauders, but he generally stayed out of our schemes and hung out with the other Quidditch team members.

Once showered, I charmed my hair dry (a neat trick Lily taught me 3rd year), and began to try to tame my golden waves. I was unsuccessful. I was a pro at pranks, but absolute rubbish when it came to primping.
