Setting:
School
October, 11
Weather: Chilly
Season: Autumn
6th Year
It ended up that James had asked Lily out again and as usual she denied him. Honestly why she did was beyond her. Though she had to side with Lily that he was a bit conceited at times, but if she spent a little more time with the marauders, she would see how much he really cared for her. Once Leena caught him in class scribbling down L.E. on his notes. After you hang out with James quite a bit, he tends to grow on you. Just after Sirius and Leena had their little fun down at the lake, their friendship was beginning to grow more and more. Every time he would look at her with his entrancing blue gaze, her heart would melt away. Sometimes she was beginning to feel like one of the marauders. She would pull pranks along with them sometimes in the corridors, then amazingly her grade shot up in DADA class, since the group was known for their DADA expertise, it was beginning to rub off onto her.
At night after spending half her day with Sirius and the other marauder's, Leena would go upstairs and dream of Sirius. The dreams were beginning to become more intense as the nights grew, making Leena long for Sirius even more. Her crush was becoming more of an obsession; he was like her new drug. Everywhere she went the picture of his smiling face was always on her mind. Every slight and unimportant moment they spent together she would replay it in her mind before she went to bed. Her friends were starting to ask why she wasn't spending any time with them, and eventually, they left her alone. Leena felt bad for not spending as much time with them. But she would make up for that later.
Other than her growing infatuation with Sirius, Leena was practicing Quidditch quite often. Their caption wanted them to win this upcoming game for sure. It was suppose to be quite a match between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Everything in Leena's life was shifting; all her activities were being thrown together. Studying was becoming a great importance to her, because her future depends on it. After her 6th year, she would only have one more year left. And that notion frightened her. Hogwarts had become a home to her, and it was depressing to think of leaving this magical school. She even made a studying schedule in the library that she did quite frequently, practically every day she studied with Lily and Remus. Then after an hour or two of studying, Sirius always seemed to steal her away from the books. She knew that she shouldn't let him take control of her like that, her homework was important, but when she looked into his pleading puppy dog like eyes, it was impossible to deny his plea. Naturally, Lily found that an unlikely excuse.
"Leena, are you sure that you and Sirius are not dating?" Asked Lily, as they ate lunch together in the Great Hall.
"I think I would know if I was dating him, Lily," Leena said smiling, biting a chunk of her sandwich.
"But you know, he hasn't been snogging anyone for the longest time. I think he might have actually found something." Said Lily, drinking her pumpkin juice.
"What do you mean?" Said Leena, baffled by her words.
"What I'm meaning is, I think he likes you more than just a friend."
"Bollocks! Don't make up these things, you're beginning to make me feel bad."
"But it's true. Ask anyone. He's beginning to look at you in that way, if you know what I mean."
"If you ask me, I think you need to stop reading so many love novels."
Lily nearly choked on her pumpkin juice, "How did you know about that?"
"Lily, dear, I seen them tucked slightly under your pillow. I'd chose your hiding place a bit more carefully if I were you."
"Well, I don't want people here to know that I read that, all right? So if you see them in sight anywhere just, hide them, okay?"
Leena laughed, "Deal. But I better get to Defense Against the Dark Arts class."
With that, Leena finished her sandwich and was gone. First thing she ran up into the girl's dormitory to fetch her DADA book. It was on her bed, but yet, it didn't look like it was in the place it was before. Leena eyed her bed carefully. Her books and notes were organized on her bed, but Leena was not an organized person. Someone must have gone through her things. Then dread crept in her heart, making it come to a deadly stop. "My... Diary.." She scurried through all her things, under her pillows, under her bed, under the mattress, but it was no where to be seen. Leena looked at the time, and figured that she would just have to neglect that mission for now. Frowning, she took her DADA book, and hurried out of the Dormitory.
But as went into her DADA class, there was a group of people gathered all around someone's desk. She quirked a brow, and moved over silently. People broke out into laughter, and she instantly wondered what was so humorous. She was about to push her way through, but a hand blocked her from doing so.
"Leena, I wouldn't go over there if I were you," Said Remus, frowning.
She opened her mouth to debate, and then her worse fear came. In the center of the crowd, she heard a voice, a voice that belonged to Cilia. Something was terribly wrong with this picture. Sensing danger, Leena braced herself for whatever was to come. Pushed through the students, she saw in Cilia's hand, was one of Leena's priced possessions, her Diary.
"Cilia! What the bloody hell do you think you are doing!" Leena yelled furiously, her fists balled at her sides.
"Oh, Leena, how nice of you to join us! I was just about to get to the best part!" Cilia said, licking her finger and turning the page, "Ah! So many wonderful things you have in here!"
Whipping out her wand, Leena prepared to jinx Cilia to kingdom come.
"Don't get testy with me now. I have some serious blackmail on you... Literally!" Cilia said, and everyone joined her in laughing.
She raised her wand, ready to hex her, but Remus clutched her hand shaking his head. "Don't get carried away with your anger, you could get into some serious trouble." Remus warned, then turned to Cilia. "Give her, her diary back, now." He said threateningly to Cilia.
"Are you her new bloke?" Cilia wise cracked, "I don't think Sirius would find it very amusing if you steal away his lover girl. But yet again, I've always wondered why she never went after you. Your both a bit on the shabby side," the class started to laugh at them, "why don't you sweep her off her feet lover boy! —Oh! There is something about you in here too."
"SHUT UP!" Leena said, lunging forward, but several of Cilia's friends held her back. "Let me go you pig headed dogs! LET ME GO!" She struggled. Where was the teacher when you needed him the most?
"It seems that Kira has a liking to you, my boy!" Said Cilia amusingly. "Oh, and Leena... I never knew that you used to pad your bra with toilet paper to make your breasts look bigger in your third year. What's wrong? Shame of your breasts? And by the way doll, I talked to Sirius, and ... sorry to say this, love... but he doesn't like you in the way that you obviously like him. So just give up your little fantasy, okay? He would never touch a thing like you. And those ears of yours! Until I read this in your diary, I never realized how they actually do look like elf ears!"
The class burst into laughter again, Remus was blushing madly, and Leena was breaking free from her captures grasps. Then just when Leena was about to attack Cilia, the teacher walked in, with incredibly bad timing.
"Sorry I'm late. Kindly take your seats, that's it, now, lets begin!" while most of the class obeyed and went to their seats, Leena still stood there, hovering over Cilia's glaring at her dangerously.
"I said take your seat Miss. Selene!" The teacher snapped.
Without a word, Leena went back to her seat, not taking her eyes off of Cilia. She was going to pay severely for what she's done.
After class was finally over, Leena sped out of there before anyone else, anger returning quickly after the classes events. Most of the student's thought she was leaving the classroom first out of embarrassment of what had happened, but how wrong they were. She had left before everyone else, hoping to be able to attack Cilia at the first sight of her. But then Remus strolled out casually, then turned to her with a slight smile and a blue book in his hands, her diary. She blinked at him confusingly.
"I did some persuasive talking to Cilia, and I have discovered that she is quite easy to bid with. Here, keep that safely with you from now on." Said Remus, thrusting her diary at her and was about to walk off until she blocked his way with her outstretched arm.
"Why'd you stick up for me?" Leena asked.
"For the same reason you did me." He said smoothly, ducking under her arm and leaving her to be completely puzzled by his words. She shrugged it off, and went the opposite way down the corridor path.
The rest of the day she spent her time in the library, her diary being close to her until she could think of a more proper place to put it. She glanced down at her homework, her eyes boring into its pages; the text was beginning to slur together. Clutching her head with her hands, she moaned silently, her head was beginning to ache from reading all day and her eyes were growing wearer by the minute. Lily, who had been studying with her, looked up and smiled slightly.
"You look a bit tired there, Leena. You should really go to bed you know, I'm heading there myself." Said Lily as she organized her homework that was scattered all over the table.
"I'll just be a few." Leena yawned, and Lily nods.
She looked over her book again. Mummification throughout times in Egypt, by Robin Kingling. Why would Leena care who got mummified back then? Honest to her opinion, history should stay history. This was the most boring subject anyone could ever think up. Then deciding that history was becoming too much for her, she turned to her Potions assignment. Argh, that's a tough potion. I would need Remus or Lily's help on this one. Leena thought, plopping her head down on the table and resting her eyes. Maybe after I rest my eyes for a few, I will be back on my feet and I can finish these dumb assignments. But then everything went dark and her thoughts of homework went astray.
"Leena? Are you okay? You don't look so well." Said Sirius, glancing at her with concern.
"I'm fine." Said Leena, rubbing her puffy eyes, and reading her book silently.
"Leena..." Sirius said, suddenly hugging her. This took Leena by surprise, but she suppressed a smile and pulled away, looking into his wonderful blue eyes.
"Why are you worried about me?"
He smiled slyly, and placed a finger to her lips, then her softly kissed her lips. After a minute realization hit her, she slowly returned his kiss. It felt so wonderful, and then as she pulled away; looking into his gorgeous blue eyes as he ran his fingers through her curly blonde locks of hair.
"Leena...."
"LEENA!" Screeched a voice, which did not belong to Sirius.' Jolting upwards like a rocket, she almost elbowed Madam Pince in the face. "
"So sorry!" Leena said. Feeling something moist on her chin, Leena swiftly whipped away the liquid on her chin the looked down at her table. Her library book was wide open, and there was a pool of drool where Leena had obviously fell asleep. She looked into the angry face of Madam Pince and smiled innocently.
"Look at the mess you made on my precious book! 10 points from Gryffindor!"
"What for?" Leena said, taken aback by the loss of points.
"What For? For ruining my book! And for staying in here past curfew! Now clean this mess you made on my book and leave my library!"
With a simple spell, the pool of drool was dried from the book. After returning the books to their proper places, Leena let out an enormous yawn and left the library. She never knew that a librarian could take points from houses like that. Nor did she know how dark it was in the corridors at night. A creepy chill ran down her spine, and with her eyes not well adjusted to the dark, it was difficult to move around in it. She wished that she could use the Lumos spell to cast a light, but since it was past curfew, it would be wiser to restrain from getting into anymore trouble. The halls stretched on, the portraits on the walls were snoring loudly in their sleep. It was a good thing that they were making such a racket to deafen the sound from the squeaking of her shoes. There was a slight tumbling sound in the distance, and she froze. Could it be a teacher? Sneaking forward to get a closer look, she found that it was just Peeves, making a mess of things for Filch to pick up. The thought of Filch made her panic. If Peeves was making this much racket, surely Filch or Mrs. Norris would come to sniff out the culprit, if she was caught here she could be into some deep trouble.
Trying to look around aimlessly for a hiding place. She heard Peeves suddenly screech, "Student out of bed! Student out of bed! Beep! Beep! Beep!" Leena ran as fast as her legs could carry her. Her shoes squeaking loudly on the marble floor, enough for Filch to hear. To her horror, she could hear footfalls behind her. Filch was on her tail, he was getting warmer and warmer. The dense corridors were like a maze at night, each corner she turned led to another, she was definitely far from the Gryffindor Tower now. What was she to do? As she ran half way past a portrait of fruits on the wall, some strong muscular arms grabbed her around the waist and pulled her under something heavy, like a blanket, several hands clasped over her mouth to keep her silent as Filch walked close. She could see him through a blanket of some kind of silky looking material .He mumbled something under his breath and kept on down the corridor. As soon as he was clear out of sight, the arms released her, and she twirled around to see who it was, her eyes bulged in surprise.
