A/N: Chapter two! Still in the development for the plot, but it really starts here, the story is blooming already!


Leslie walked down the main hallway, the stone walls making her feel at home again. It had been a long two months away from school. She looked left and right, looking for a painting with a cover to check her reflection in. She found one and sighed. Pulling out her wand, she charmed her hair to be in perfect curls again, she had to re-apply it every four hours because she couldn't quite get down the charm that lasted a whole twelve. She walked down the rickety steps to the dungeons, afraid they would break on her, still after all these years. She walked down the hall of grey, she heard the sound of an echoing leak throughout the small corridor and chills went up her spine. She hated walking down here alone and in silence.

She opened up the door of the potions room and stared at Professor Lupin sitting on his desk… with a small red-haired girl on top of him. She was certain it wasn't the blond headmistress. Leslie wasn't sure if she should say something or snap a picture or… the door slammed shut loudly before she could make a decision and the girl jumped off of Professor Lupin and turned to Leslie. Leslie recognized her as Lily Potter. She could come in handy, all she had to do was pull out the blackmail card.

"Hello Professor, I'm sorry I didn't…" Leslie started forming a story in her head about not being sure if she should knock or not, but figuring since she was being expected...

"I'll be off Teddy, bye." Lily said, fixing her skirt and wiping her face. She smiled a proud smile at Leslie on her way to the door.

"No so fast, Lils." Professor Lupin said. Lily turned around and walked to stand next to Leslie.

"Ms. Evangeline-"

"Please, call me Leslie. We can all be on first-name basis." She said with a smile.

"Ms. Evangeline, if you repeat any of this to anyone, I will have you expelled immediately." The professor threatened.

"And if you don't loosen up in class, I'll have you sacked and thrown into Azkaban immediately for being a pedophile." Leslie responded.

Professor Lupin looked at her and Leslie smirked. "Although, Lily having to hang out with my friends and I would be useful, and I may just forget about everything."

"She's just a fourth-year…" Professor Lupin said.

"Exactly. She's just a fourth year." Leslie repeated, taunting the professor. "Also, if you could get me out of this detention, so I could show Lily the ropes of my friends and I, then that would be cool too. I could easily go to Weasley and tell her about this little… affair…" Leslie said, eyeing Lily, who looked scared.

"Victoire's the only one who scares me." Lily said quickly, giving Leslie a look of pure fear that she had never seen before in anyone. "Please, I'd rather be stuck with a bunch of prudish snobs then have to face the wrath of Victiore."

Leslie smirked at Lily's description of her and her friends.

"Fine." Teddy said. "You're excused from your detention, and I'll see you later Lily." Teddy said with a wink. Lily smiled and Leslie had to use everything in her not to gag. She grabbed Lily's hand and left the dungeons in a quick pace.

"That's disgusting, Lily." Leslie said. "Really, truly, repulsive."

"And you and your friends being prudes is repulsive you-" Leslie pushed Lily up against a wall and Lily stared up at her as Leslie pinned her down gently. She was more immobile by shock than Leslie's strength.

"Lily, just wait. Tomorrow is the first Saturday of the month. You have no idea what we're truly like." Leslie said, looking the girl in the eyes.

"I don't want to know what you're truly like."

"Oh, I think you'll be surprised." Leslie said. She let Lily free and silently led the girl to the back of the Library where her friends where sitting, waiting for her to return from her detention with a small conversation.

"Over already?" Kim asked, who was staring at a boy across the room.

"It's a long story, but we've adopted Little Lily Potter." Leslie said. "Golden, right?" She asked her friends with a smile.

Alice looked at the girl who she had known most of her life. Leslie watched as a million memories and miscellaneous facts flowed through her friend's head, she knew more about Lily than anyone in their group. She couldn't know anything juicer than what Leslie just found out, but she had to know a lot about her childhood.

"She's pretty…" Kim said. She stood up and put her hand in Lily's wavy hair. "You're hair is amazing…" Kim said as she started playing with it and braiding it.

"Do you know anything about quidditch?" Britt asked, looking up at her.

"My mother was on the holy head harpies until she got knocked up." Lily said with a smirk. "Almost lost my brother when she fell off her broom, not knowing she was pregnant. It explains why he's such an idiot…" Lily mused.

Leslie's heart ached. She knew she was talking about James, the boy who made her loose control every way possible. She had no self control around him, and if he hadn't been born… she can't imagine it. She looked down sadly at the floor and she felt Kim's hand on her arm.

"You alirght?" Kim asked.

"I'm fine Kimmy." Leslie said. She sat down at the table and pulled out her potions essay. "Woo-hoo…" She muttered sarcastically before reading through it for the fifth time, making sure it was perfect.

"Les, will you read through mine after?" Kim asked, still braiding Lily's hair. "I want to make sure it's perfect, my mother will flip if I get anymore T's."

"Sure will." Leslie said, she would do anything for her friends.

"So, Lily…" Britt said, staring at the small red head.

They sat quietly around their table in the back of the library. It was off balance with the people around it and Leslie knew it was eating Kim alive. Leslie glanced and her and she was squirming in her seat.

"You're a fourth year, right?" Britt asked.

"Yes I am." Lily said.

"You're a bit young, don't you think?" Britt asked, looking at her with judging eyes.

"Hey, Britt. You were fourth." Alice snapped. "I didn't go nagging you about being a child." Alice said, glaring her. "It's just a year younger than you."

Britt rolled her eyes. She and Alice often time clashed with each other, causing many riffs in the Gryffindor house. The one rule was that by the first Saturday of every month there has to have been some sort of reconciliation deal so there were no worries.

"I'm just worried about her. If she gets caught it ruin the name for her whole family." Britt covered up. "Fourth years are irresponsible, I should know. I was one."

"No one has ever been caught, Britt, it's nothing to worry about." Kim said. "The history of this group-"

"Wait, what?" Lily asked, swatting Kim's hands away from her hair. "The history of what group?" She snapped, looking around at everyone. Leslie sighed.

"I told you we weren't goody-two-shoes." Leslie said. "We just appear to be."

"And that by Saturday I'll understand, well, it's Saturday, I don't understand-"

"Tonight." Alice said, leaning over the table for slight dramatic effect, "Tonight. Just be in the common rooms, when I get back from my rounds that's when the party starts."

"What?" Lily asked, looking at Britt for confirmation.

"You're brother's going to be there tonight-"

Leslie groaned loudly and banged her head against the table. "Don't talk about it!"

"My brother is in love with you…" Lily said. "I don't get the appeal, myself-"

"Hey!" Kim said to Lily. "Leslie is my best friend. I dare you to insult her again. I know curses and have used curses in the past that would get me arrested if anyone knew."

"It's true." Britt said. "But they were all in good-nature."

Lily stared at them then made eye contact with Kim. "Impossible. You're a pussy."

"I'm not a pussy." Kim said. "Leslie, is the pussy."

"I thought-"

"She's in love with your brother. Expect her to be your sister-in-law one day. We all know it, even she does, she's just still in denial." Kim said.

"It's so true." Alice said. "It's rather despicable. She just has this self-will of wanting to make herself miserable-"

"Shut up you guys! I'm right here!" Leslie exclaimed, whipping her head up and glaring at her friends. She hated when they did this.

"You have anyone you fancy?" Britt asked Lily, changing the subject.

Lily glanced at Leslie and Leslie smirked.

"Nope." Lily said with a confidence of an eagle.

"Yes." Leslie muttered in a stage-whisper.

"Who?" Alice asked immediately, in search for the gossip. "I'll sic James and Frank on him!" She exclaimed with a morbid glee in her eye.

"That might not be a good idea…" Lily muttered, "It's no one, anyways. He'll be gone soon, so I don't understand why I'm.. whats the word? Er… Crushing! Yes, crushing on him."

"Yes you do. You fancy a boy and you just want to make-out with him. Admit it." Britt jeered.

"No." Lily said calmly. "I will not admit anything that isn't true."

Leslie stared at the youngest Potter. She was good. She could get herself out of anything that anyone else got her in. Leslie could only imagine the lies she'd come up with, but growing up with James Potter as a brother, she must have been thrown into a lot of unfair punishments because her brother was the definition of a misfit. Ugh. Leslie hated that boy.
