Liberosis (A Marauders Era Fanfiction)

Seven

"Come on we need to hurry up or we'll be late for breakfast" I said rushing out the door all done up nice in my clothes muggle clothes. I know the girls didn't take my warning as I can still hear them running around in the room. We woke up at normal time but forgot to take into account getting dressed and ready for Hogsmeade. We all put way more effort into our appearance for it than we do for classes.

"Hey El" my brother said reaching to mess up my hair but I swat his hand away.

"Hey Ollie" I said pushing him away from me playfully. He pushed me back and I fell into someone. I looked up to see who. "Hey Remmy" I said turning around and giving him a kiss on the cheek leaving my lipstick stain on his cheek.

"Elllll, you left a mark I can feel it" he said reaching up to wipe it off but I grabbed his hand,

"Remus John Lupin if you wipe my lipstick mark off of your cheek I swear I will never kiss it again" I said playfully. He blushed and put his hand down.

"What's this I hear about kissing" Sirius says coming up from behind me. I turn around to see him inches from my face. I feel my stomach leap. I gulp and take a step back blushing.

"Morning Pads" I say conjuring up a grin.

"Morning love excited for Hogsmeade" he said pushing his hair back.

"Of course look at me I'm all dressed up I don't do this for just anything Siri" I said twirling so he could see my outfit but I was stopped half way as I was engulfed in a hug by Prongs and lifted off the ground.

He set me down "you look absolutely gorgeous" he said rubbing my cheek softly.

"You don't look half bad yourself except" I leaned up to mess up his hair he had clearly just tried to tame "there much better I like it when it's messy" I said letting my hand fall and lace with his.

"Elly I just spent 30 minutes taming my hair for nothing" James said clearly trying to be mad and clearly failing.

"Too bad so sad next time leave it messy you look hot" I said winking at him.

"Elly stop flirting " Ollie says and I stick my tongue out at him but still drop James' hand.

"Okay we need a game plan for Hogsmeade we won't have time to go to every shop so we need to prioritize and maybe even split up" I said as we entered the great hall.

"I call going with you" two boys called at once. Sirius and James then looked at each other with narrowed eyes.

"Okay then I'll go with you two and Ollie can go with Remmy and Peter" I said "we can go to Zonkos and the general store while you three go to the book shop and honeydukes then when we're done we can meet up at the three broomsticks sound good" I asked the group.

"Yeah but listen to me if either of you tries to make a move on my sister there will be consequences" I heard Ollie say.

"Ollie stop being so controlling I can handle myself" I said throwing an arm around his shoulder.

"That's what I'm worried about" he said.

"Come on these are your best mates if anything you should be happy we get along so well" I said smiling at him.

"Yeah mate don't you trust us with your sister" Sirius says smirking,

"You're lucky I love you guys" Ollie says trying to hide his own grin.

----------------------------

"Okay first stop the general store" I said making a beeline for the shop on the corner. This is the only shop in Hogsmeade that sells regular snacks and drinks plus I know Sirius is probably running low on cigarettes.

"Okay I'll get my cigarettes El you get the snacks James grab the drinks" Sirius says heading to the counter.

"Those things are gonna be the death of you mate" James says sighing I just roll my eyes I know it's a pointless argument. Sirius has no self preservation he doesn't care what will happen to him. All we can do is love him until he learns to love himself. If it weren't for my brother I would probably be the same way since my mom. Ollie and me may fight but he really is my rock.

I go to the snack isle and pick out all the snacks me and all my friends like, I don't get any for the girls because they told me they would get their own today. I go up to the register and set down all the stuff. James comes up beside me and sets down the drinks. Sirius already has his cigarettes paid for so he just stands there. Once we pay we leave the store.

"Elly" James whines.

"What is it prongs" I said rolling my eyes at his childish antics.

"Come here you I haven't touched you since this morning" James said pulling me into his side.

"Starting to have withdrawal there James" Sirius said laughing though I could see a little tension in his face. I wonder what that's about. I just cuddle into James a little closer trying to absorb his warmth as it is colder than I expected and I stupidly wore a skirt a short sleeve shirt and one of Sirius's leather Jackets that I stole a while back.

"Okay let's hurry to Zonkos I'm getting colder by the second" I said still shivering despite being so close to James. It's probably because though he was warmer than me he wasn't that warm.

"Sorry Prongs I gotta steel her from you" Sirius said pulling me close to him. I immediately feel so much warmer. He is basically a heater.

"Yeah sorry James he is so much hotter than you" I said.

"Hear that James she thinks I'm hotter than yo-" he was cut off by me hitting him.

"You know that's not what I meant Padfoot" I said sending him a glare and James a smile "Don't listen to him Prongs you're both very attractive if a little arrogant" I finished pulling James into my other side. "see you can share me no problem" I said feeling much warmer between the too boys.

"I've never been good at sharing Storm it's the only child in me" James said grinning. We finally reached the store and I separated from the two boys only to be pulled back into James' side. I just sighed guess I should have expected that short walk here to not be enough especially since he was sharing with Sirius.

"Okay guess we won't split up this time" I said laughing as James held me tighter. I wrapped my arm back around him under his Jacket. "Come on we have to hurry we are supposed to meet the others in twenty minutes" I said pulling them along.

--------------------

"Hey El I see you have a leech" Ollie called laughing when we walked in and I slid into the booth quickly followed by James.

"No a leech would do this" James said starting to kiss my neck. I laughed and pushed him off. "Elly why do you always push me away" James said pouting.

"Because you are not my boyfriend so you don't need to kiss my neck" I said rolling my eyes but leaning my head on him anyway.

"Well did you get everything" Remus asked looking shifting uncomfortably.

"Yeah we did even with these two all over each other" Sirius said.

"Hey don't act like you weren't a part of it you know I was all cuddled up to you half the time too" I said playfully glaring at him around James.

"Yeah just because you were cold" Sirius said frowning. I slid over James' lap to be between them.

"Hey that's not it I like being close to you, you know that" I said grabbing his hand.

"Yeah whatever it's fine" he said pulling his hand away and turning back to talk to everyone. I'll need to fix that I thought to myself. So I curled up into his side while we talked to everyone. At first he stayed stiff but then he slowly put his arm around me and loosened up pulling me close while he laughed and joked around. Much better I thought not noticing the two sets of eyes looking at as like hurt puppies.
