AN: There is a slight cliffy in the beginning of this chapter, while Leena is in class. Let's see if you can catch it. -Furthermore, I am trying to update as much as possible before school starts up again. I am afraid it will take alot of my time. So give me all the support I need!

Season: Autumn
6th year
Leena rushed down the halls, late again for her class. She had Divination next, and it wasn't exactly one of her favorites. The class she did look forward to was Transfiguration; it was a fantastic course besides her second favorite, Care of Magical Creatures. DADA class wouldn't be so bad, if their teacher wasn't a creep ass. Sometimes Leena would lean over her desk to talk to the marauders, telling them if he grew fangs, how he'd be a vampire. That wasn't such a great idea. The marauders then decided to pull a prank on their DADA teacher, they made a distraction then before the teacher knew what hit him, his teeth were growing rapidly out of his mouth. His first suspicion was the marauders, so they all got detention for a week.
When she finally crawled up the spiral staircase up into the Astronamary Tower, the door to the classroom was ajar. She saw that they already started on their assignment, at first she told herself perhaps she should skip class today since she's already missed most of it But then she thought against it. The door creaked loudly and Leena entered a fake broad smile on her face. Their Divination teacher examined Leena through her huge round glasses, she told her to take a seat and to find a partner. To her luck, Kira had been waiting for her; and was beckoning her forward.
"Why are you late—again?" Kira scowled, as if Lily wasn't enough.
"I overslept." Leena muttered.
They took out their Crystal ball; today they had to gaze into it to tell the others future. At first the whole thing seemed rather stupid and pointless. But then they decided to have a bit of fun with it.
"I see... a masquerade ball being held... and your date is a very handsome young man... with sandy blonde hair.... Blue eyes..... "Leena said, waving her hands around the crystal ball like she was trying to get a better signal from it. Kira giggled and blushed. Then she noticed that the marauders were eavesdropping.
"Leena, please stop- the marauders, they're listening!" Kira whispered frantically. But Leena didn't seem to hear it.
"Oy! The young man is Lupin! Okay then, tell me mine. What's wrong? You look like your going to be sick. If you are going to be sick, please do it on your own homework." Leena said smiling cheerfully, oblivious to what she had done.
Leena turned and saw Remus blushing madly, and the rest of the marauders were slapping him on the back. She then understood why Kira was embarrassed; the marauders were eavesdropping with their damn Extendable Ears. Looking over to Kira, whom had her face hidden in her folded arms trying to hide her blush, Leena whispered in her ear, something that made Kira laugh.
"Don't worry about Remus. Besides, I think he likes you too. You two should really hook up you know." Leena said sincerely. "Now then. Tell me my future!"
"Okay, okay." Kira chuckles, lifting her face from her arms and staring deeply into the Crystal Ball "I see.... Oh my god. I think I actually see something!" She said in a death whisper. Leena suddenly looked excited. "I see.. I see you. Your running, you look frightened. And bloody hell, your all grown up! This must be your future.. hmm..—You're crying, something black is chasing you... it looks like a..." Kira tried to swallow but she throat was dry. "It's a Dementor!" Kira whispered dryly to Leena. Whose eyes grew wide, but she laughed.
"Keep telling me what happens." Leena said, not sounding the least bit worried.
"You're turning to face it, your wand is raised and...the Crystal went blank." Kira looked at Leena in amazement and worry. "Do you think something bad happened to you?"
"Naw, not me. I'm Leena the fighter, remember?" She winked. "Besides we all know that these visions are fake anyway!"
The incident in Divination didn't seem to worry Leena at all. At lunch Kira told Lily and Ari about her prediction, and they all seemed dreadfully worry about her well being in the future. As much as Leena acted like it didn't worry her, inside a great fret clenched onto her heart. What if it was true? What if in the future she was going to come face to face with a live Dementor... but why would a Dementor want to come after her?
She poked at her lunch, barely taking a bite. Lily was across from her, reading a book. As if things weren't bad enough, it was nothing compared to what happened next. Leena gathered her things and headed quickly towards her next class, Potions, her least favorite subject. She always managed to make a mess out of everything. Then on her way she caught a couple making out in a dark corner, their lips smacking in the dark. At first she took no heed to it, until they came out of the dark corner, and it was none other than Sirius Black and the Hufflepuff Prefect. She practically ran by them, hoping she wasn't caught. That was the last thing she needed, was to have Black think she was stalking him.
In class, Leena sat next to Ari and Kira; she dropped her things carelessly on the ground and buried her face in her folded arms. Ari and Kira looked at each other then glanced down at Leena curiously. Kira put a comforting hand on her back. "Are you okay Leena? What happened?"
"Nothing. I shouldn't even be surprised." Leena said, rubbing her eyes and looking up at her worried friends.
"So, what happened?" Ari asked, just as Sirius walked in.
Leena looked at him and says, "Nothing. I'll tell you later." Ari took the hint when she saw Sirius, then they all dropped the conversation from then on.
The class went on as it usually did, boring... Their teacher had the tone of voice that could put a dragon to sleep, and that was saying something. When they got to their assignment, Leena was partnered up with a Bellatrix Black, from the Slytherin house. Why did they have to have assigned partners anyway? Luckily for her, Bellatrix was being courteous. But she knew it was all an act. Leena looked over at Sirius and smiled. He was laughing, that beautiful laugh of his. She loved the way his eyes lit up when he laughed, or when he would pull off that lopsided smile of his when he was nervous. She sighed heavenly, and didn't notice that it was her turn to put the ingredient into the cauldron.
"Hey you! Snap out of it!" Bellatrix snarled.
She blinked, and looked at Bellatrix and gave her a goofy smile before dripping some crumbled bat wings and dragons blood into the cauldron. Bellatrix gave her skeptical look then it twisted into an evil smirk
"You like my cousin, don't you?" Bellatrix asked humorously.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Leena replied calmly.
"You do! You like Sirius!" She said loud enough for the marauders to hear. Leena blushed, but said nothing. "Word of heed, he'll just snog you and dump you. That's just the way he is. I wouldn't get myself too attached to the likes of him. Besides, even if you did manage to win his affections, which I doubt. It wouldn't be wise to mix the blood."
"And what's suppose to mean?" Leena asked, her anger rising.
"What I mean is, you have dirty blood. He needs a pretty little pure blood, and you need to get your own filthy mud blood boyfriend."
"Take that back!" Leena snapped.
"Why should I?" Bellatrix sneered. "I guess you two can mate. He's already a disgrace to his families name, by associating with mud bloods like you and being put into a shameful house like Gryffindor."
Leena was through with it. She tackled Bellatrix to the ground, neglecting her wand completely. All she wanted to do at this moment was to make her bleed for all she said. She can call her by any name she pleased, but talking about Sirius like that was not all right in Leena's book. The teacher heard the commotion and rushed over the scene, students were beginning to gather around them cheering and booing. Their teacher pulled them away from each other, but Leena was still swinging her fists around wildly, trying to get to Bellatrix, who was already bleeding.
"Stop this abomination this instant! —You, Selene, go and wait in my office. Black go to the Hospital Wing."
Bellatrix left the room, with her head turned she gave Leena a threatening look. But Leena didn't care. As long as Bellatrix was out of her hair from now on.
Earlier that day the Slytherins were giving her nasty scowls while she was passing them in the halls. Instead of making her feel intimidated, she felt proud of what she did to Bellatrix. The wench deserved it. And the month detention she received was well worth the effort, it could have been worse if she was expelled. But Dumbledore was a reasonable man; he was definitely the best headmaster that Hogwarts have ever seen.
She strolled into the Great Hall, and cringed at the scolding look on Lily's face. Obviously she was displeased. She sat down next to Kira, who was being awkwardly silent and wasn't saying anything to Leena at all.
"Hey, what's up?" Leena said.
"Leena I can't believe you got in a fight with Bellatrix!" Lily said furiously, "You could have been expelled! Or worse, what about when Bellatrix tells her parents about this incident? They will have your head!"
"There was no harm done. I was only toying with her." Leena said slyly. "Besides, I was only defending myself."
Lily took deep solemn breaths. "You still don't see the seriousness in your actions today, do you?"
"No I don't." Leena said stiffly.
"I heard some Slytherins talking. She told Sirius' mother a few things that she will not be pleased about. Naturally coming out of Bellatrix, it will probably be lies. But I overheard them saying that she told his mom that you fancy Sirius, and of course she added that you're a muggle born that's only trying to disgrace their families name because you hate her." Lily said, frowning. "I'm sorry. I don't like Bellatrix as much as you do. But you need to stay away from her; she's bad news! She's almost as bad as Lucius."
Leena nods, not saying a word throughout the rest of her meal. How could she have been so naive? I should have known that Bellatrix would go running to her mommy and daddy...Leena thought. Just then a brown and gray barn owl flew on the tabletop with a red envelope tied to his leg. It's mums and dads owl, I wonder if they heard about the fight... Leena thought fearfully as she untied it and the owl swooped off into the air. She examined the envelope, a lump of fear got caught in her throat and she ran out of the Great Hall. Her friends watched her suspiciously. She ripped the envelope open and it was a howler. The voice of her mother screamed through the letter:
"HOW COULD YOU GET INTO ANOTHER FIGHT LIKE THAT! BELLATRIX'S MUM CALLED ME AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE EMBARRASSED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! YOU NEED TO STOP THIS FOOLISHNESS BEFORE YOU END UP IN AZKABAN PRISON SOMEDAY!"
The envelope fell to pieces at her feet. Everyone was pointing and laughing at her in the corridor. A howler was the worse thing you could possibly receive from your parents. This would probably lower her pile of Christmas presents this year.
Review! Review! Review! ...=P .... please?
