Thalia, for perhaps the first time in her life, woke up on a Monday morning with a smile on her face. The reason for this? Her boyfriend, James Potter, had his arm wrapped tightly around her waist and her cheek was resting on his chest. Thalia turned up to face her boyfriend, James Potter, and admired him for a moment. Not wanting to wake her boyfriend, James Potter, Thalia carefully lifted his arm off her and slipped out from under the covers. The only other person awake in the Marauders' Dorm was Remus and he offered her a smile and a wave as he picked up his book and presumably went to go and meet Robyn for breakfast. Peter was a snoring lump hidden under his duvet, Eloise and Sirius were a mess of limbs - her leg over his waist, his arm sprawled across her middle - and Thalia's boyfriend, James Potter, was in the same position as she had left him. Deciding that she had to talk to someone about her boyfriend, James Potter, Thalia tiptoed over to Sirius' bed and carefully tapped Eloise on the shoulder to wake her,

"Whaddayoowan?" she grumbled and Thalia giggled,

"Elle, I need to talk to you."

"Go choke on a dick." she muttered sleepily before pulling the covers tighter under her chin. Thalia rolled her eyes and crossed her arms,

"Maybe I will, maybe the one belonging to my boyfriend, James Potter."

Eloise sat up abruptly, succeeding in waking up Sirius but she ignored him as she stared wide-eyed at Thalia,

"I'm sorry what?!" her wildly ruffled hair and puffy eyes really added to the effect. A hand emerged form the covers and blindly stroked Eloise's face, poking her in the eye,

"Backasleeeep."

"Shh, Sirius!" Eloise swatted his hand and an affronted, albeit tired, gasp could be heard, "Thalia Charlotte Scammander," she raised an eyebrow and Thalia smirked, "Did I just hear you say that James Potter was your boyfriend?" her mouth spread into a grin and her brown hair turned golden, beside her Sirius shot up,

"I beg your pudding?" his manic bed hair also brought a smile to Thalia's face, partly because the couple looked ridiculous and partly because she knew exactly what they were doing last night.

"Want to talk to me now, Elle?" Thalia observed her nails and the deranged rustling of the bedcovers hinted to her that Eloise was scrambling out of bed,

"Let's go!" she linked arms with Thalia and they began to walk towards the door,

"Hold on!" a voice came from behind them and they shared a look, "I just need to find a shirt and I'll be right with you." Sirius was rifling through his drawers and Eloise and Thalia both pouted at his excitement,

"Sirius, my love..." they walked towards him and Eloise put a hand on his cheek,

"What? Should I not wear the green one?" he asked with a tilt of his head and Eloise but her lip slightly, Thalia wasn't sure if it was out of guilt; to stifle a laugh; or because Sirius still hadn't put a shirt on,

"This is kind of a...girl talk." Thalia said quietly and Sirius' face dropped,

"Oh." he said a small voice and Thalia and Eloise turned to each other covering their mouths at his sad little eyes, "That's fine." he sighed, moping back to his bad and putting his fists on his cheeks, his elbows on his knees and a very obvious pout on his lips.

"I feel so awful." Thalia whispered and Eloise nodded, still looking at her mopey boyfriend,

"I know, look at his little face."

"I have an idea." Thalia told her friend before walking towards James' bed. Eloise frowned slightly before walking over to Sirius and putting an arm around him, whispering in his ear that she and Thalia still loved him. Thalia nudged James shoulder and the boy woke up, blinking slightly before smiling sleepily when he saw her face.

"Morning, sleeping beauty." Thalia brushed his hair out of his eyes, "Sirius is sad because he wasn't invited to girl talk." she muttered and James smirked,

"Enough said." he sat up and kissed Thalia's cheek before strolling over to Sirius and Eloise. Sirius was still pouting at staring at the ground whilst Eloise had resorted to stroking his hair and telling him he looked pretty. "Pads," James gestured to the door, "I need to talk to you about something."

Sirius perked up,

"About what?"

"Just girl stuff." James smirked and Sirius beamed, almost sprinting out of the door. A few seconds later her reappeared to kiss Eloise's cheek,

"You look pretty too." he smiled before grabbing James' arm and rushing out of the room once more.

****

"Oh that's so romantic, Thals!" Eloise squealed and Thalia's cheeks flushed pink, "Normally I would ask if he was a good kisser but he's my brother so..."

"Yeah, I get it, don't worry." Thalia laughed, "He's just so funny and sweet and I've never seen this side of him before!" the girl couldn't stop smiling and Eloise squealed again as she wrapped her arm tightly around her friend,

"Ahh! This is so beyond the valley of exciting!" she giggled and Thalia couldn't help but join, Eloise's joy was infectious. The girls were so busy being girls that they didn't notice two teenage boys join them on the window seat,

"What are you two banshees laughing at?" James asked and they both screamed in shock, jumping back so far they hit their heads on the window. James and Sirius erupted into laughter, so much so that Sirius had to clutch the wall for support and James' glasses had slipped off his nose onto the floor.

"Yes, very funny, you scared your girlfriends." Eloise rolled her eyes,

"Absolute banter!" Thalia mocked and Eloise snorted,

"Get used to it, Pup." Sirius grinned as he wiped a tear and picked up James' glasses, "Being in the Marauders is one thing, being in a Marauder couple is completely another."
