THE MARAUDERS friend group was what you call, your dream team. your dream family. your well, something you'd only dream of having. the bond that was held between the five kids was stronger than anyone could even imagine.
it consisted of james potter, a boy with so much confidence and money you could practically see it draining out of his body. if he wasn't talking about quidditch then he was off running around somewhere with sirius, or pestering lily evans. james was a big ball of adrenaline and was rarely calm, he'd been seen jumping on tables during breakfast and singing at the top of his lungs. he was the light of hogwarts.
next was sirius black, he was a disappointment and disgrace to his family. he'd broken the stereotypes and line of being placed into his parents desired house, sirius was a dark light. no matter how much disagreements he was given, he never failed to make others and himself happy. even though he took advantage of girls' feelings, he made it his entertainment which was one of his downfall expressions. sirius was a caring and exciting friend, always doing something outgoing with james or olive. he was the life of the party.
remus lupin, gosh was he a quiet one. to peers at least. remus was a smart kid who spent most of his time at the library and always made sure his grades were straight, but no matter what he always made sure that he spent time with his friends. olive and him were absolute inseparable companions, they were each other's closure and the two did practically everything together.
now peter pettigrew was a whole different story. that boy was the definition of having a heart of gold and mindset of a child, he enjoyed everything that had to do with food, games and excitement. he was always laughing, trying to entertain his friends and show them a good time. he was a pure soul.
lastly olive reed, a bright yet protective girl. she'd do anything for her friends, family. olive was a face you'd never forget and a person you'd only dream to be like, the girl loved giving people the time of their life and making sure she made them feel the adrenaline and compassion they deserved. it was rare to find olive taking care for her own feelings over others but that was what made her happy. she was the reason most were happy.
remus and olive loved to walk together, alone or with other people, it didn't matter because they always felt as one when they were together. sometimes olive would bring along a camera and take photos of the nature around them or often remus, or sometimes she'd bring a muggle radio and would dance around with him. those were the moments she cherished.
it was early in the morning and olive had woken up cheerful, making a quick decision to wake up remus and make him enjoy the morning with her. which resulted in him being quite grumpy.
" come on grumps, we've got a full journey ahead of us " olive hopped along the grass like a rabbit and remus trailed behind her while trying to pull his coat closer to his body, if that was humanly possible.
" olive, it is five in the morning. couldn't this wait until later? " remus mumbled and sighed in relief once noticing the girl stop by a nearby tree " no this couldn't wait, i have found the best station on this lil ol' radio of mine and i want you hear this one song "
olive placed the square device on a branch and flicked around a few buttons while remus found a cosy spot against the tree. finally olive found the right channel and a song remus had never heard of, started playing.
" come on remmy, dance with me! this is my favourite song " olive whined, grabbing remus by his hands and pulled him out further onto the grass.
" what's this song called? " the boy asked while getting spun around by the cheerful girl " this side of paradise! i discovered it yesterday, do you like it "
a loud laugh escaped olives lips as she spun herself around and sung along to the lyrics " yes. yes i do "
the two spun around and laughed loudly without a care in the world, you'd think they were a couple but they weren't. they were a pair of bestfriends who loved each other more than anything in the world.
" —are you lonely? passion is crashing as we speak " olive sing brightly and swung her arms around and remus smiled wide " you seem so lonely, you're the ground my feet won't reach "
olive mimicked a microphone and passed the imaginary object to remus, who willingly sung along " so if your lonely, darling your glowing, if your lonely "
" come be lonely with me " the two sung together and a enormous amount of giggles followed behind it, the pair fell to the ground feeling the adrenaline and excitement running through their veins.
" we should definitely do that again " olive whispered as she was out of breath and remus replied with a nod.
they admired the sky, that was slowly blooming into its full glory and held hands comfortably.
" oh oh, yes. we shall dance again " remus spoke suddenly and jumped to his feet, pulling olive along " this is such a good song, it's a slow song so don't worry to much "
remus and olive got into a comfortable position that was when you really thought about it, more of a hug. yellow by coldplay started playing on the radio and you'd really think it was a slowed version because the moment felt ethereal.
" so, i think we need to have a serious conversation oli " remus muttered as the two swayed, olive replied with a tired hum " what about? "
" about ellie. olive, since when do you even interact with her? you should've seen the look on lily's face " remus chuckled and closed his eyes in the slightest while olive took in his question " okay firstly, i always you know talk to her and i just wanted to make sure she was safe. secondly, what do you mean lily's face? "
the scrunched up expression on olives face was visible and remus sighed " i don't know olive. i just think you need to be careful "
olive pulled away softly " what do you mean careful? is there something wrong with me being nice? "
" no no never that. listen, everyone knows how obsessed ellie is with you and we can't take any chances for your safety of her following you around or constantly trying to get your attention "
olive nodded understandably and sat on the grass, with remus following in lead.
" it's fine. i mean i don't think she'd do that and i don't feel like that for her? like at all. am i wrong for not liking her? am i hurting her? i don't wanna hurt her. " so many thoughts were going through olives mind and remus knew exactly that, he knew how much she could overthink and eventually break, he was always the one to see it.
" olive please don't think to hard on this okay? i promise you, you aren't hurting her okay? " remus couldn't find the words to say anything else, he typically didn't know what to say. usually he'd have the perfect words but when it came to romantic feelings as such, he wasn't an expert.
" just be you okay olive? everyone loves you for you "
