Ellie the Marauder | Sirius Black

|11| Eagle in The Snake Pit

Who would have guessed that an idiot like Sirius Black could be the worlds best boyfriend? Certainly not me. Then again, I also thought that my brother was a good person, and that was definitely no longer true.

Ah! I need to explain, don't I? Alright, well you may recall how I found that blonde haired brown eyed pile of hippogriff dung hanging out with the blokes who were terrorizing Mary McDonald. Well, as it turns out, that was not the first, nor the last time he had a rendezvoused with those shifty tossers...

"Benny!!" I called out, excited to tell my brother the joyous news. "Benny! I have something to... tell.. you..." I ended awkwardly realizing whom he was with...

He sighed exasperatedly, "Make it quick Elizabeth." He said rolling his eyes. Rude much?

"Erm.." I was feeling a tad uncomfortable with the amount of Slytherins currently glaring at me, one being Sirius's brother Regulus. "It's about Sirius..." I said. I may have been imagining it, but I swore I could see Regulus's eyes flash with interest for a moment. "Um I gave him the motorbike-"

Benny scoffed, "You mean that waste of time you and father have been tinkering with for ages?" He said with a callous laugh. Why was he being such a prat? He thought the bike was, and I quote "brilliant!" when we first started fixing it.

"Okay, that was rude... Anyways, I gave it to him for his birthday this morning and.." I paused for a moment, taking in Benny's compete and utter indifference toward what I was saying. I was so excited to tell him this earlier, but now I felt like an unwanted bug crawling on someone's sandwich. "And now he's my boyfriend.... yayyy...." I say awkwardly with mock enthusiasm, doing an awkward jazz hands gesture to go along.

"I thought he already was?" Benny said uninterestedly.

"No!! Ugh! Why do you have to be such a wet blanket Benny!" I said stomping my foot in annoyance, crossing my arms and pouting. For a moment I saw the faintest smirk on Regulus's lips... but a second later his idiot of a big brother joined our oh so happy conversation.

"Ellie, why do you look like someone stole all your cat treats?" Sirius whispered in my ear as he came up hugging me from behind, wrapping his arms around my waist. I smiled up at him, then remembered I was mad at benny and pouted grumpily.

"I'll tell you later, let's just go." I told my gorgeous stupid handsome new boyfriend. "Bye Benny." I said to the prat. He ignored me.

Me and Mr. stupid handsome were walking back to Gryffindor tower, hand in hand.

"Okay, wanna tell me why your brother was hanging out in the snake pit?" Sirius inquired.

"I have no idea. I just wanted to tell him how we were together now. I thought he would be happy for me! But he just acted like he didn't care..." I said sadly. "Also, he called the bike a waste of time. I think we need to prank him for that comment alone." I said causing Sirius to chuckle.

"Well we should get to planning shouldn't we!" He said happily. "Oh! Speaking of planning... there's something I wanted to ask you," he said, looking down at me lovingly. I waited for a long while for him to go on, but he just kept silent, smirking when he saw how impatient I was getting.

"Well ask me already!" More silence. " Come on! The anticipation is killing me!" I said dramatically, pulling my hand away from his and clutching it to my heart. He smirked wider, but still didn't say anything. "Please Sir Snuffles! Asketh the question..eth or I may perish!!" I said wallowing on the floor of the crowded corridor, the back of my hand to my forehead. Some people stopped to watch, most looked rather amused, but some others looked like they smelled a dung bomb or something.
