Eloise Malfoy finally escapes the prison that is Malfoy Manor as she embarks on her time in Hogwarts. Immediately hitting it off with pranksters James Potter and Sirius Black, things don't seem like they'll go as smoothly as Eloise would've hoped.
F...
Jheez this is a long chapter but it's Christmas! (It isn't really...it's April but whatever!) And thank you so much for 20k it's honestly surreal!

Eloise was woken by kisses being pressed to her face. Her eyes fluttered open and she squinted at the brightness of the room. Sirius was lying next to her, a large grin on his face as he tucked a curl of her brown hair behind her ear,
"Good morning, Gorgeous." he whispered and she smiled, pouting her lips in her wordless request for a kiss. Sirius chuckled and kissed her quickly before jumping up, "As much as I'd love to lie in bed with you all day...IT'S CHRISTMAS!" he began to do a little dance and Eloise giggled, sitting up and stretching,
"Merry christmas, love." she said and Sirius stopped dancing, walking to next to where she was sat and offering her his hands. She flopped onto her back on the bed and lifted her arms and legs in the air, like she did every morning. Sirius chuckled and bent down, letting Eloise wrap her arms around his neck and her leg around his waist before standing up. He picked up a hoodie from the end of his bed and carried Eloise down to the Common Room, humming Jingle Bells as he went.
Being the only Gryffindors to have stayed at Hogwarts, Lily having to font to stay with Petunia and her husband for the funeral, the Marauders (minus Peter who went back to see his mum) sat around the fire as James threw them gifts from under the tree. After they all had their piles and James had sat back down, they all gaped at Eloise,
"Why do you have so many presents?" Remus asked, glancing down at his significantly smaller pile. Eloise laughed and shrugged,
"I suppose I have more friends." she said with a smirk and began opening her first present from Evan.
Eloise got many, lovely presents from all of her friends: some earrings from Mary; a bracelet from Alice; a beautiful red, hooded cloak from Marlene; some muggle contraption called a pen and some rabbit slippers from Lily; some carrot cake and some customised pink sugar quills from Peter; a The Police t-shirt from Evan; some fancy perfume from Regulus; some lacy underwear from Nathan; and more boxes of Peppermint Toads than she could count from everyone. When she opened Nathan's present she laughed so hard that she fell over. She read the note with Sirius reading it over her shoulder with a frown:
'Berry,
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I think it's time to tell Joker about our secret relationship,
Nathan
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
Sirius looked at the note with a raised eyebrow and rolled his eyes, hiding the present under a blanket. Had it been anyone else who had sent it he may well have killed them, but since it was Nathan- who favoured a joke and had also just started seeing Evan, he brushed it off with a laugh.
