Weeks passed. Leya had built quite a reputation in the school. She was always having to stay after for clean-up duty. Between her and Theo, Ms. Taylor had her hands ful. However, it became clear to her as time went on that Leya was the real troublemaker. Whether it be in class, the hallway, during recess, or after school, Leya was getting into a spot of trouble. The faculty couldn't help but love the young child. She was so adorable and Justin seemed to have a case of young puppy love. They fast became good friends. Justin was attracted to her bravery, her mischievous nature, her love of P.E., and the fact she took on an older boy and defeated him. Leya just thought Justin was fun to hang around with, although she thought he was a little quiet. Leya slowly started to developing friendships, although none of them were with girls. Leya just found the thought of playing with dolls or house sickening. She much preferred to play 4-Square or Kickball. She liked being active.

It was a chilly November afternoon when Leya and Justin were kicking around a ball in the backyard when Remus called her inside.

"Princess; say goodbye to Justin and come inside. Your tutorial teacher will be here soon and I have a surprise for you."

"Ok Daddy!" She waved to Justin and skipped inside. Remus gave her a quick lunch and Leya munched on her sandwich happily. It had only been a day or two since Leya had started to show signs of magic. Thus, it was time for her to start her tutorials. She'd be getting muggle education in mathematics, English, and controlling her magic since she would be starting at Hogwarts in 4.5 years. The bell rang and Remus answered the door.

"Hello there, Terence" Remus smiled at him. Terence had also just started to show magic recently and while he was two years older than Leya, the two sets of parents thought it would be good for them to have the same teacher. Terence took his books out and sat at a table, working on some homework for school. A few moments later, a young woman with long brown hair and a smile on her face, entered.

"Hello, Michaela."

He shut the door behind him, not noticing Leya had snuck up behind the teacher and had accidentally turned the teacher's hair green. She grinned goofily. Remus coughed. This was more serious than he thought. How was it that Leya managed to perform magic without a wand? He'd forgotten that she was half nymph, so she was able to do certain things normal witches couldn't. Terence looked up and sighed. He could already tell this young witch was NOT going to be serious. Michaela took off her jacket and glanced in the window, frowning. Her eyes looked into Leya's doelike eyes and she raised her eyebrows. Luckily for Leya, Remus had spend a long time looking for a teacher and picked the kindest one out there. She sighed, flicked her wand, and set it back to normal.

Remus smiled. "Terence, Leya, come here a moment."

Leya toddled over to Remus, looking up at her dad, a goofy grin on her face. "Leya, this here is Terence Higgs. He's magical like you. He'll be going to Hogwarts in 3 years."

Leya looked up at Terence. He was tall, well as tall as an 8 year old could be. He had sandy brown hair and penetrating crystal blue eyes and wore a serious expression on his face. Leya tilted her head in curiosity. She really was an adorable child. "Hi!" she chirped.

Remus laughed and looked at Terence. "Terence, this here is my daughter Leya. She's younger than you though."

Terence studied Leya. She was pretty, he supposed. It wasn't the type of thing boys his age paid much attention to. She wore jeans and a t-shirt with a cap on her head. Obviously a Tomboy he thought. Her eyes were sparkling with mirth.

"Hi Leya," he said quietly.

Remus smiled. "I'll let you two have your lesson." He kissed Leya on the forehead before heading into the bedroom.

"Well then you two."

Leya was bouncing up and down "Are we going to play! Quidditch!" She giggled. Leya was a bundle of energy. Terence groaned and sat at a table. The teacher looked at Leya in amusement.

"Leya, settle down. We have work to do. You can play later."

Leya pouted, but quieted down. She was restless and was bouncing in her seat. She had a bored expression on her face as the teacher talked about Hogwarts. Leya smirked. The teacher was explaining something to Terence and Leya snuck out of her seat. She was antsy and thus her magic acted up as the teacher was levitated into the air.

"Leya!"

Leya giggled. She had no idea how she did that. Terence rolled his eyes in annoyance and buried himself in his work. Remus stepped out at the commotion.

"Leya!" He helped the teacher down and looked sternly at Leya. Leya looked at Remus innocently and shrugged her shoulders.

"No wand." She stated.
Remus sighed. "Leya, I need you to focus.

"But I wanna play!" she pouted
"You can play later."
"But.."
"Ley…" Leya frowned.
"Look at Terence. You're disrupting him too. "
"Quidditch?"
"Afterwards….if you behave."
"Yes, daddy. I promise."
"Good girl."

He patted her on the head, looking apologetically at Terence and Michela before leaving the room.

Terence sighed. This girl was really annoying him. Couldn't she ever be serious? Whoever would have thought that this would eventually lead into a very deep friendship and it would start in a matter of just a few weeks?
