Hello people, I'm posting today because I will not be able to post on Tuesday, other notes after the chapter...
and please remember that I wrote this chapter and upcoming ones long time ago (even before Christmas)..
Enjoy...
"Hello everybody, my name is Mrs. Ruisto" said the short stout teacher, smiling kindly at the children "first, we'll make a names circle, so we'll know each other. We'll start from here, when it's your turn, you'll get up, and told us your name, and your favorite animal"
Favorite animal? He never thought of that. That's right, he loves Coira, but snakes are not his favorite animals.
"Your turn, my boy" Mrs. Ruisto smiled at Leo, he stood up
"My name is Leo, and my favorite animal is a stag" Leo said
A stag? Really? He said the words like he knew from a long time ago
:I thought, at least, you'd say snakes: Coira hissed, but no one heard her except for Leo, but he couldn't reply, not in front of his classmates
The names circle went on, and soon, it was done. Mrs. Ruisto got up again
"Great, now that we know each other's names you can start the playing" she said, and showed them where the games were
Leo, stood there for a whole moment, staring at the games and toys there, they were different than the games he used to play in his house, there weren't any brooms, or any exploding snap packs. He looked at the Lego and then at the puzzles
"What's wrong Leo? Don't you want to play?" asked Mrs. Ruisto, she was smiling at him kindly
"No, I want to play" he said
"Then pick a game and go play with it" she told him, and then turned "Don't fight!" she shouted over two boys who were fighting and ran to them
Leo looked around, he saw a far corner in the room, where there were cubes, and a girl was playing with them alone, she was building a tower. He went to there, and started building his own tower
"Do you want to build a tower with me?" the girl asked him, he turned to look at her
"Yeah, sure" he said, and they started building their tower
"Your name is Leo, right?" she asked
"Yes" he said, tried to remember her name but couldn't "what is your name?" he asked embarrassed
"Hermione Granger" she said "do you like to play with cubes?"
"Yes" he said
"I also do" Hermione said, not waiting for Leo to ask "I can build a lot of things from them"
"That's cool" Leo said "what do you build from them?"
"I build towers, castles, I even tried once to build the Colosseum" she said "what do you build?"
Well, he built Hogwarts, he tried to make the fountain in the Ministry of magic hall, he even built Gringotts once
"Towers, usually" said Leo, he couldn't tell her about neither Hogwarts nor Gringotts
"Nice" she said, they kept building for a while, without exchanging another word, "so, are we friends?" Hermione asked Leo enthusiastically
"Yes" he answered, smiling at her

"Just like his godfather" said Sirius "already charming girls"
Lily had just told them about Harry's first day at school, Harry was very tired, he didn't make it until they arrived, he was sleeping in his bedroom
"They're friends, Padfoot" said Lily "I don't want you going about it in front of him, he's still too young"
Sirius smirked "Of course not"
"Is he allowed to take his snake to the kindergarten?" asked Remus
"Yes, I explained to the teacher, she was afraid at first, but then I assured her that he can control it completely" Lily said
"I'm sure, that this Hermione or whatever her name was will like the snake" said Sirius
"Padfoot!" Ellie glared at him
"I was just kidding!" he said immediately, feeling the danger
"Tomorrow he has the lessons with McGonagall, right?" Remus asked
"Yes" she said "and he's doing well"
"Yes, he's doing annoyingly well, he won't stop levitating my shoes to run away from me" said Sirius
"I can imagine that" Remus laughed
"Shut up, Moony" Sirius said
"He's transforming every owl that arrives to here" said Lily
"That's why my owl had a teapot spout instead of a beak last time it returned from here" said Sirius
"You should be more careful once he started learning dark magic" Remus said jokingly
"Will he better not then" said Sirius, laughing
"Or when he starts potions" said Lily
"Yes, to spill a love potion into Hermione's drink by mistake" said Sirius, smirking at Lily
"He won't need a love potion" said Lily, smirking back at Sirius
"Of course, after all, Sirius Black is his godfather" said Sirius proudly
"Whatever!" Lily rolled her eyes

Harry's third birthday was much bigger than his second one, he invited his classmates, and some of their parents stayed
"Sirius, what are you doing here?" one of the mothers asked Sirius
"Clair, it's good to see you" said Sirius "I'm Leo's godfather"
"Really?" she asked and then turned to Ellie who just had approached them "Mrs. Porter, it's an amazing party"
"Thank you, Mrs. Bonfils, I hope Louis is enjoying the party" Ellie replied
"Yes, he is, call me Clair" she said and offered her hand to Ellie
"Ellie" she said and shook Clair's hand "do you know each other?"
"Oh, yes" said Clair and nodded her head in Sirius' direction "we used to date when we were younger, do you remember?" she asked Sirius
"Yes, I do" said Sirius "she's a witch too" he told Lily
"Really? That's amazing, are you going to send Louis to Hogwarts then?" asked Ellie
"No, I'm going to send him to my school, Beauxbatons" said Clair "that's where I learned"
"Oh cool, isn't it in France?" asked Ellie
"Yes, it is" said Clair "I'm teaching him French so he'll be ready when he's eleven"
"I hope I could send him to Ilvermorny, that's where I learned, but the states aren't as near as France" said Ellie
"I've heard that Ilvermorny is a good school" said Clair "not as Beauxbaton's though"
"Maybe, I haven't tried Beauxbatons, did I?" asked Ellie, trying to avoid arguing
"No, you didn't" agreed Clair "Where is Mr. Porter? I haven't met him yet"
"He died a year ago" Sirius answered
"That's awful, I'm so sorry" Clair told Ellie
"That's fine" said Ellie "at least I still have Leo"
"And us" said Sirius "me and Moony"
"Moony! How is he doing these days?" asked Clair
"He's fine, but he couldn't come today, because he's sick" said Sirius
"I hope he gets well soon" said Clair
"Mummy," called Leo "this is Hermione" he introduced blushing Hermione to Ellie
"Hello, Hermione, how are you doing?" asked Ellie
"I'm fine, thank you, Mrs. Porter" Hermione said in a very low voice, that Ellie hardly heard her
"She's a muggle, we can't tell her about magic" Leo whispered to Ellie ear, that only she heard him
"Yes" she simply said
"Hello, Leo" said Clair "How are you?"
Leo suddenly turned red "I'm fine, thank you"
"Leo, this is Mrs. Bonfils, she is Louis' mother" said Ellie
"Hello" said Leo embarrassingly, and then turned back to his mother "when are we going to eat the cake?"
"You will eat lunch first" said Ellie
"But, Mummy!" Leo tried to protest
"There's no cake before lunch" said Ellie
I hope you liked it...
some spoilers (little ones), Hermione isn't the only 'magical' friend Leo will have, not telling more!
I will be pleased to hear what do you think about it, so review...
In the next chapter Leo will start learning a new skill and there will be some Quidditch, wait for it...
