*** All Natural Angels ***
** Chapter five **
"Good morning, Marisa. Tess, and window sill!" Jasmine greeted her roommates and the windowsill. November is near its end, so that means two more weeks until the happy winter break that Jasmine and the girls, minus Leila, have been waiting for.
Marisa got up at once and tried to get to the bathroom before Jasmine did. "It is MY turn! You went first yesterday! JASMINE!" The scream immediately woke the Chinese girl out of her slumber. She pulled the covers off her body and sat up, she looked like an escape lunatic.
"Morning already?" she only got more screams and yells before she heard the bathroom door lock and Jasmine's fist pounding on the door. Tess scratched her self and got out of bed, yawning, she walked over to her dresser and pulled out a clean uniform and began to dress.
"MARISA! You take way too long! GET OUT!" Marisa's reply was filled with a laugh of triumph.
"MUWHAHAHAH!"
*~*~*~*
"Monica, Deborah." Leila shook Deborah, then Monica; both girls lay in their beds asleep. The slytherin girl was awake for and hour and a half already, she was always an early bird. She knew that they still had about two hours before classes started, but the two girls insisted Leila to wake them up at the hour.
"I'm going to do this the hard way." Sighed Leila as she walked up to Monica's bed. She held on the edge of the blanket and pulled. The sleeping girl felt the coldness and tried to grap the missing blanket. Her blue eyes opened to she Leila right next to her bed, holding her only warmth.
"I'm up." She said as she got out of bed.
Leila then walked over to the other sleeping beauty. She took out her wand and muttered a charm. Deborah's laughs filled the room. She clutched her stomach and begged Leila to stop the tickling charm. Leila then said something under her breath and the tickling decrease.
"I'm up and awake." Deborah told Leila and placed on her uniform, magical. With a pop she went from PJ's to Hogwarts Slyhterin uniform.
In the bathroom Monica kept the door open. As she combed her hair she said something about today being another normal morning, Leila has been doing the same things to wake them up for three days, well at least they know that she is happy.
*~*~*~*
"Hey, Leila? Is it okay if Monica and I go see Prof. Lupin, I need to asking him about the essay." Leila yawned.
"Alright." The two girls said goodbye and left to go to the DADA room. Leila saw her best friends wave at her from their table. She waved back.
"Oh, hello, Miss Rejected." Alexandria said her in snobby voice. Alexis turned her nose up at Leila as they walked by. 'Don't give them the satisfaction. Don't give them the satisfaction.' Leila told her self as she at her buttermilk pancakes.
Chris then came and sat next to her. "Morning." He said as he took a plate and filled it with bacon and fruits.
"Good morning, Chris." Leila said as she poured more syrup on her pancakes. "Sleep well?"
Chris nodded and opened up a biscuit and placed the bacon he got in it. He took a bite of it, swallowed and asked if Leila had a good sleep too, which she said yes.
"Mail is here." Leila said just as owls came. A small owl came down and landed in front of Chris. He took the note. It was from his older sister who lives at France, she said that she going to visit their parents back home in Korea. Just then an owl swooped down, a black medium size owl, one of the Llave family's owls. Leila immediately took the letter and the owl flew off.
'Maybe my family is letting me back in!' she thought happily. She looked up to see the curious face of Chris Hahn and the worried faces of Tess, Jasmine, and Marisa. The nervous first year girl opened up the letter. A key fell out. Both Chris and Leila looked at the key. She picked up the letter and began to read.
Dear Miss Leila,
You are hereby removed from the Llave family. Because you are a minor, you will receive 70 percent the money that you would inherit at eighteen if you have stayed in the family. A total of 80 million galleons (sp?); 1 billion in muggle currency. It is all transferred to the nearest wizard bank. The key that came with this letter is the key to your vaults.
Also, your name will be written in black on the family tree, and your last name will no longer be Llave. You may choose any name your wish. You are technically an orphan; our family no longer supplies anything for you.
Your headmaster will decide your living conditions during breaks, or you may live in an orphanage, which ever your may like. Also, at the moment, all your belongs, including pictures that include you, are being sent to your vaults. Have a good life, Miss Leila.
- Mickey N. O. Nefire
(Lawyer of M. Llave and S. Llave)
Leila then stuffed the letter into her robe pocket and asked for the key from Chris. She then left her half eaten pancakes and walked out of breakfast, unknown to her, Chris followed. Unknown to both of them, Alexandria and Alexis followed.
Leila walked down the halls to her first class of the day, fighting back the tears that are forming in her eyes. She then stopped and rested her body on the wall; Chris hid behind the side of one of the hall, out of view for Leila, but close enough for him to hear silently cry. The two asses hid behind statues, they can see her cry.
Leila re-read the letter and wiped her tears. "At least I'm a rich bastard of an orphan." She said to herself. Both Chris and the wicked witches from the west caught it. Chris felt sorry for her, as the girls felt happy for them selves.
*~*~*~*
"Oh my God, did you hear..."
"I feel so sorry for her... first year you say?"
"Whoa, never saw that coming..."
"...Well, she deserves it, snotty bitch."
"Her? I never thought! She doesn't deserve that! She's so bloody nice!"
"...Disgusting, disowned you say?"
"That sucks, hey, just as long it isn't happening to me..."
"Heh, and she goes around as if she is the best..."
"Shhh! She is coming!" Leila entered the Great Hall to see everyone looking at her. Not knowing why she walked over to her table to eat dinner. As she sat down whispers starts, first like small mummers among friends, next loud conversations among the whole table or section. When Leila caught something that a sixth year girl was saying she knew that the whole school knew. Sympathetic looks were given at her, along with satisfied glares and other looks that seemed to belittle her.
Her friends weren't at the Hall at the moment, they all decided to skip dinner to have a study session at the Library, Leila was hungry and need to eat so she didn't go to the study session, but now she wished she had.
She felt like crying right there and then, letting her tears of betrayal and regret flow out of her watery eyes.
She felt like screaming at everyone, telling them to shut up. Shouting at them to go fuck them selves and mind their own business.
She wanted to run away from the Great Hall, to get away from the stares, the laughs, and the whispers. She wanted to leave it all behind. Wanting to runaway from her mistakes and her past.
But she didn't, it would show that she is weak; she has to show that she is strong, that she can take what they are saying. Her brother told her that once.
But she can't take it, the stares, and the gossip. No, she can't, she is going to put on a smile and keep it bottled up inside until she... pops.
"Leila?" she turned around to see Chris. "May I sit here?"
"You can always sit here, Chris. You don't have to keep asking me..." she told him as he took the empty spot next to her.
"Thanks, hey, um... are you okay?" he asked her. Chris didn't even put food on his plate yet.
"Yeah, I won't let it get to me. If my family doesn't want me, then they don't want me. I can't change their actions." She paused for a moment. "I'm going to go to the Library. You're a great friend, Chris. Thanks." She smiled at him and packed her stuff, which were only two books.
As she did Chris replied, "Doing what I can." He then thought 'but I wish I can do more for you.' she smiled and then left. 'So she sees me as a friend...'
*~*~*~*
Two or so weeks later
*~*~*~*
"Well, Leila, I guess that it is just you and me." Tess said as they sat in the Great Hall. Only fourteen students stayed here at Hogwarts for winter break. Tess and Leila are two of them.
Jasmine went back to the US to stay with her mom and Marisa left for Canada to be with her huge family. Monica is heading for Hawaii to be with her Aunt and Uncles and Deborah is going to France to see her grandmother. Leila stayed because, well you know, and Tess didn't even want to go home.
Because barely anyone stayed, the fourteen students sat on one table. "How many people are still in your House?" Tess asked as she wolfed down her chicken potpie.
"Only me, thank God. Some peace and quiet!" Luckily the talk about her decrease but everyone at school knows all about her family 'issues'.
"Damn you! I've got four other people in my house!"
Leila smiled. "Well, sucks to be you huh?" Tess nodded vigorously.
*~*~*~*
"Welcome home, Jasmine!" Jasmine's mom, Sherry, age 34, hugged her daughter as she got off the plane.
"Hey, mom!" Jasmine couldn't wait for all the fun her and her mom would have this break! Just her and Mom, catching up, have good old fun. Then a man, about min 30's, came up to them. Sherry kissed the man as he close. Jasmine, wide eyed and confused, looked at the man with suspicion. 'She better not have gone and married..." Jasmine began to think.
"Jazzy, this is my new boyfriend, Rick." She said with his arm around her. 'RICK? BOYFRIEND! WHAT?'
"Nice to meet you, Jasmine." He stuck out his free hand, which she shook. "Well, lets get going, shall we? I have to get back to work in two hours."
"Rick works as one of Los Angeles Time's top photographers!" Jasmine's mom gushed.
"Oh, how lovely." Jasmine answered as they existed the AirPort and headed to his car.
As they got in they continued to talk. "I've heard from your mother that you are going to a boarding school in England."
"Yeah."
"Got any friends?"
"Yeah.
"A lot?" her mom asked
"Sure."
"Jasmine, do not answer back in one or two word sentences!" her mother told her.
"Sure thing, mom!" Jasmine rolled her eyes and continued to look out the window. 'Damn. Mom. Isn't this Rick guy your twentieth boyfriend? It has been only two years since Dad left us.'
*~*~*~*
'Ah, great to be back in your own bed...' Marisa thought as she lay down on her bed. "This is heaven!" she stretched her arms in legs in the air. All her sisters are still at school; they wont get out for another two hours. So, she will be sister-less free!
"Your school can't be that bad." Marisa looked up to see her Dad standing in the doorway.
"Hiya Dad! Did you get back from work?" She asked sitting back up. He nodded.
"Sorry I couldn't pick you up from the Airport." Marisa's older cousin Noel had to pick her up, well since her dad is at work and her mom just gave birth to her new baby brother two weeks ago. That would be a total of four younger siblings, Marisa is the oldest.
"Its okay, Dad. I didn't mind." She smiled at her father.
He smiled back. "That's my little girl! Look, I'm going to get us take- out, what do you want to eat, since it is your first day back." Her mom is still in the hospital; she and the baby come back home tomorrow.
"I really want Chinese food, we don't get that back at school!"
*~*~*~*
So far two days have past since winter break has started. In the morning, the day after everyone left, it started to snow. Tess has seen snow before because in the area where she lives in China it snowed there. But it was the first time Leila ever saw snow. So the day was filled with snowball fights, sledding, snowman and snowwomen, and a nice hot cup of coco every now and then.
But today Leila decided to spend time by her self. She walked into the fresh snow in a pair of light blue jeans, a beige, hand knitted, turtle neck sweater with a black wool blazer over it, and a pair of black boots. She kept her hair in a messy bun.
She walked and walked until she accidentally bumped into someone. "Oh sorry!" said a rough male voice. The man helps her up.
"Professor Black! I'm sorry to trouble you!" she said as she got back on her feet.
"No, miss, its okay." He gave her his playful smile. "What's your name?"
"Leila." She replied, with no last name. Black knew her instantly. 'So this is the girl...' she was the one whom befriend Gryffindors and got kicked out of her family because she was sorted into Slytherin, Sirius has been hearing stuff about her.
"Well, nice meeting you, Leila. First year, right? Well see you in the classroom in your third year." And he then walked off.
'Hmm, what a nice man.' Leila thought before she continued her lonesome walk.
She continued to think. She thought about everything that has happen recently. From her friend's first meeting on the train to receiving the letter of disownedment. The ones that haunt her dreams engulfed recent memories of happiness. 'Go away.' She told them, the memories. 'Leave me alone.'
Even happy memories of her childhood brought out the nightmare that ruined it. The nightmare that stole her innocence.
*~*~*~*
Flashback
*~*~*~*
"LEILA!" someone jumped right in front of her, just in time to block the attack. Then it was silent.
Blood.
Red, dark, blood.
The attackers left. Leaving the girl with a body on top of her, believing that both are dead. But the poor little girl was still breathing.
"Kuya?" she shook the body. "KUYA!" she looked at his face. The boy saved his little sister, he died in peace.
"Kuya? Kuya! You can't leave me! No!" she knelled beside the body. "You don't love me anymore?" she asked the body. She threw her self on him. "You promise that you wont leave me! You promise... Kuya..."
She wiped her eyes and looked at her hands. Stained with her tears and his blood. She looked again at her dead brother. Bullet holes where everywhere. Dead bodies where everywhere. She was the only one alive.
She was alive. They were dead.
They died protecting her. Her kuya died knowing that she was safe. Knowing that she was alive.
*~*~*~*
End of Flashback
*~*~*~*
Leila wiped the tears off her cheek. 'I cried so much back then, six years. I can't believe that I still have enough tears to shed right now.' She waited for that voice to speak up again, but it didn't. 'That voice left me too.' It started to snow again. Fresh, pure, white snow.
She looked up to the sky, to the heavens. "Kuya, why did you leave me?" she whispered. The wind blew. It was cold.
"You left because you loved me, right?"
The wind died down. A single tear fell on the snow.
"Then, can you make me move on? Kuya? I want to move on..."
*~*~*~*
"Leila..." Sirius whispered to himself as he took of his coat and placed it on a chair in his room. Tomorrow he will leave Hogwarts to go spend the break with his wife, Joan, his two year- old son, Jamison, and his godson Harry, with Harry's wife, Cho, they are expecting a baby boy and Lupin with his wife, Tonks (would you believe) and their three year old twins, Phoebe and Robert.
But his mind is not on his family; it is on the girl her was disowned by her family. They have some things in common. Both weren't sorted into the family's 'tradition' house, and Leila was kicked out of her family like him.
(A/N: in case you notice, before Leila was disowned she was compared to Snape, but after what has happen, she is compared with Sirius!)
"Is that why is feel so sorry for her?" he thought out loud. "I wonder if she has a place to stay during summer break..."
*~*~*~*
"Ah, its great to be back." Monica said as she laid her bags near her bed. Leila smirked.
"How was France, Deborah?" Leila asked.
She shrugged. "It was nice. Hey, Mon-Mon! How was Hawaii?"
Monica shrugged. "Okay, I rather go to Jamaica"
Leila smiled. "That's good. When does classes start again?"
"Tomorrow morning." Replied Monica. She went to the bathroom and closed the door. Five seconds later you can hear the shower.
"Man, I'm hungry, Debbie, do you want something? I'm gonna head to the kitchen." Leila said. Deborah asked for a slice of apple pie with vanilla ice cream one top. Monica screamed out her order from the bathroom, which was a slice of a Chicago deep- dish pizza, sausage and pineapple toppings.
Leila wrote them down and left to go to the kitchen. She was going to get her self a piece of triple chocolate cake, a whole deep-dish pizza with pineapple and a side of bacon, curly fries, and onion rings, and she cant forget a vanilla milk shake. She skipped lunch and dinner so she had to get a lot of food to satisfy her hunger.
"Mmm, food..." she said out loud as she left the House.
*~*~*~*
A/N: That is chapter five! I hope you liked it, please review! I bet you are wondering about Leila's past even more. And if you think that this story is all about Leila you are wrong. If you remember in one of my Author's Notes I said that every school year the girls will deal with a different problem that concerns mainly one of them. So this year's problem is focused on poor Leila, next year's might Tess's turn. Well, toddles!

"Kuya? Kuya! You can't leave me! No!" she knelled beside the body. "You don't love me anymore?" she asked the body. She threw her self on him. "You promise that you wont leave me! You promise... Kuya..."
She wiped her eyes and looked at her hands. Stained with her tears and his blood. She looked again at her dead brother. Bullet holes where everywhere. Dead bodies where everywhere. She was the only one alive.
She was alive. They were dead.
They died protecting her. Her kuya died knowing that she was safe. Knowing that she was alive.

Leila wiped the tears off her cheek. 'I cried so much back then, six years. I can't believe that I still have enough tears to shed right now.' She waited for that voice to speak up again, but it didn't. 'That voice left me too.' It started to snow again. Fresh, pure, white snow.
She looked up to the sky, to the heavens. "Kuya, why did you leave me?" she whispered. The wind blew. It was cold.
"You left because you loved me, right?"
The wind died down. A single tear fell on the snow.
"Then, can you make me move on? Kuya? I want to move on..."

"Leila..." Sirius whispered to himself as he took of his coat and placed it on a chair in his room. Tomorrow he will leave Hogwarts to go spend the break with his wife, Joan, his two year- old son, Jamison, and his godson Harry, with Harry's wife, Cho, they are expecting a baby boy and Lupin with his wife, Tonks (would you believe) and their three year old twins, Phoebe and Robert.
But his mind is not on his family; it is on the girl her was disowned by her family. They have some things in common. Both weren't sorted into the family's 'tradition' house, and Leila was kicked out of her family like him.
(A/N: in case you notice, before Leila was disowned she was compared to Snape, but after what has happen, she is compared with Sirius!)
"Is that why is feel so sorry for her?" he thought out loud. "I wonder if she has a place to stay during summer break..."

"Ah, its great to be back." Monica said as she laid her bags near her bed. Leila smirked.
"How was France, Deborah?" Leila asked.
She shrugged. "It was nice. Hey, Mon-Mon! How was Hawaii?"
Monica shrugged. "Okay, I rather go to Jamaica"
Leila smiled. "That's good. When does classes start again?"
"Tomorrow morning." Replied Monica. She went to the bathroom and closed the door. Five seconds later you can hear the shower.
"Man, I'm hungry, Debbie, do you want something? I'm gonna head to the kitchen." Leila said. Deborah asked for a slice of apple pie with vanilla ice cream one top. Monica screamed out her order from the bathroom, which was a slice of a Chicago deep- dish pizza, sausage and pineapple toppings.
Leila wrote them down and left to go to the kitchen. She was going to get her self a piece of triple chocolate cake, a whole deep-dish pizza with pineapple and a side of bacon, curly fries, and onion rings, and she cant forget a vanilla milk shake. She skipped lunch and dinner so she had to get a lot of food to satisfy her hunger.
"Mmm, food..." she said out loud as she left the House.

A/N: That is chapter five! I hope you liked it, please review! I bet you are wondering about Leila's past even more. And if you think that this story is all about Leila you are wrong. If you remember in one of my Author's Notes I said that every school year the girls will deal with a different problem that concerns mainly one of them. So this year's problem is focused on poor Leila, next year's might Tess's turn. Well, toddles!
