Arguments

Ok…here we go. I'm practically doing a chapter a day now. well…ok…maybe a chapter every few days. Oh…I also wanted to change what singer I had for Leah…so…what do you people think? Kelly Clarkson songs, Ashlee Simpson songs…or someone else?


"Come on Ron…at least block one." Leah muttered. She had just scored a goal and had turned her attention to Ron. She was trying her hardest to ignore the Slytherin's singing but what she really wanted to do was knock each and every one of them into a different century. She groaned when the Slytherin's scored…again…and ran her hand through her hair, making it even messier.

"Ron's losing it." George said, flying over to Leah and whacking a bludger away from her.

"I've noticed." Leah said. "Just…watch the others." George nodded and flew around, keeping the bludgers from his team.

"THAT'S WHY SLYTHERIN'S ALL SING…WEASLEY IS OUR KING!" Leah groaned in frustration at the song, grabbed the quaffle from Angelina, and threw it as hard as she could through a Slytherin goal post.

"Feel better?" Leah looked to her side and saw Draco there.

"Not even close." Leah said, pushing him away from her. "I meant what I said…stay the fuck away from me." She flew away from Draco.

The game ended with Harry catching the snitch, making it so that Gryffindor just barely won. Leah landed with Harry and Angelina.

"You ok Harry?" She asked, remembering finally that Harry had just got hit in the back with a bludger from Crabbe.

"Yeah." Harry said.

"Saved Weasley's neck, haven't you?" Draco said to Harry. Leah looked over at him. "I've never seen a worse Keeper…but then he was born in a bin…did you like my lyrics, Potter?"

"Bugger off…Malfoy." Leah said, turning her back to him as the rest of the team landed, all cheering over their victory. Only Ron didn't join them. He had dismounted by the goalposts and was making his way to the changing rooms very slowly. Leah was about to go after him.

"We wanted to write another couple of verses!" Draco called, stopping Leah. "But we couldn't find rhymes for fat and ugly – we wanted to sing about his mother, see-"

"Talk about sour grapes." Angelina said.

"- we couldn't fit in useless loser either – for his father, you know – " Draco said.

Leah looked at Fred and George who looked as if they just realized what Draco was talking about.

"Leave it!" Angelina said, grabbing Fred's arm instantly. "Leave it, Fred, let him yell, he's just sore he lost, the jumped-up little –"

"But you like the Weasleys, don't you, Potter?" Draco asked, sneering. Leah stared at him in disbelief. She knew Draco hated Harry but this was extremely low, even for him. "Spend holidays there and everything, don't you? Can't see how you stand the stink, but I suppose when you've been dragged up by Muggles, even the Weasleys' hovel smells OK –"

Harry had grabbed hold of George while it took all the chasers to stop Fred from leaping on Draco, who was laughing openly. Leah and Harry both looked around, trying to find Madam Hooch but saw her still berating Crabbe for the bludger attack.

"Or perhaps." Draco said, backing away. "You can remember what your mother's house stank like, Potter, and Weasley's pigsty reminds you of it." Leah let go of Fred and grabbed hold of George and Harry. She dug her heels into the ground to keep them off Draco.

"Malfoy…I'd leave if I were you." Leah said, pulling back as hard as she could on the two boys.

"You've got pretty good control over them, Black." Draco said. "Why do you feel the need to control everyone?" Leah stared at Draco. Harry struggled even harder against Leah's hold. "What? You're not gonna defend your girlfriend Potter?" That was it. Leah's hold finally broke and Harry and George ran towards Draco. Harry punched Draco in the stomach, using the hand that still had the snitch.

"Harry!" Angelina yelled.

"HARRY! GEORGE! NO!" Leah yelled.

"Impedimenta!" Madam Hooch said, sending Harry and George backwards and away from Draco. Leah bit her lip and moved back to the rest of her teammates. "What do you think you're doing?" Leah looked down at Draco as she helped Angelina and Alicia hold Fred back. Draco had a bloody nose, George had a swollen lip. "I've never seen behavior like it…back up to the castle, both of you, and straight to your Head of House's office! Go! NOW!"

Leah saw Harry give her a look but she looked away before she could figure out what the look meant. She watched him and George march off the pitch.

"Come on…Fred, please." Leah said. "Don't get yourself in trouble to." Fred looked at her and Leah give him her pleading look. He sighed but stopped struggling and allowed the three girls to steer him to the changing room. Leah gave Draco one more look to see him laughing. She went straight to her dorm after changing and pretended to be asleep when Hermione came in, looking for her.

Leah found out the next day that Harry, George and Fred were all banned from playing quidditch. She wasn't as outraged as Angelina, but she was pissed off. At lunch, Leah went straight to the Defense against the Dark arts classroom and did all but break down the door. Umbridge jumped at the intrusion.

"What's your game, Dolores?" Leah asked, slamming her hands, palm down, on the teacher's desk. Umbridge slid her chair back a bit. "What the hell do you gain in keeping Harry, Fred and George off the quidditch team?"

"My actions are my own concern Miss Black." Umbridge said.

"Really? Well I would love to hear the explanation." Leah said.

"Would you like a detention Miss Black?" Umbridge asked.

"Oh…you wouldn't risk that." Leah said. "I've seen what you've done to Harry's hand. You and me both know that your precious Cornelius wouldn't want to risk my grandfather quitting, which he would do if I gave him reason to."

"What are you playing at?" Umbridge asked.

"That's pretty much the same thing I asked you." Leah said, leaning forward. Umbridge backed farther away. "Who gave you permission to cut students' hands open practically every day of the week? I'm pretty sure your flashy titles don't give you that privilege." Leah leaned back and removed her hands from the desk. "You're just lucky Harry hasn't gone to Dumbledore, and what's more…I haven't either. You'd be out of here like that…" Leah snapped her fingers. "If Dumbledore knew you were abusing his students."

"I…" Umbridge said, but didn't appear to know what she was going to say.

"Be careful Dolores." Leah said. "I could be your worse enemy. Hell…I could be worse the Voldemort." Umbridge flinched. Leah headed to the door but turned and faced Umbridge. "Oh…and…professor."

"Yes?" Umbridge asked, shakingly.

"Voldemort." Leah said. Umbridge flinched big time and Leah laughed. "God…I love the affect that name has on you. It's just a name." Leah left the room but peeked inside. Umbridge was straightening papers on her desk. "Voldemort!" Umbridge jumped so much, the papers flew out of her hands. Leah laughed and, feeling much more cheerful, headed off to Care of Magical Creatures.

(AN: Isn't Leah evil…ish? Lol.)

When the day came to pick a new seeker and beaters, Leah was actually not bored this time. She was contemplating different ways to mess with Umbridge's head and to make sure she knew who it was so that she wasn't falsely accusing someone else.

"Hey Leah." Ginny said.

"Hey Gin." Leah said. "You trying out too?"

"Yeah…seeker." Ginny said, blushing.

"Cool." Leah said.

"I'll never replace Harry though…if I get it." Ginny said.

"You're right…but you'll do pretty good." Leah said. "Dude…your whole family is quidditch crazy." Ginny laughed.

She did get the spot and Leah smiled and laughed along with Ginny, making her go even redder then she was.

So Ginny was the new seeker and two guys in her same year, Leah guessed anyways, were the new beaters. None of them could match with Harry, Fred and George.

Leah went with Harry, Ron and Hermione to visit Hagrid and found out where he had been, which was looking for giants, and how he got all the cuts and shit all over his face.

The next Care of Magical Creatures class featured Thestrals. When Hagrid asked who could see them, Leah raised her hand, along with Harry and Neville. Harry gave her a questioning look and Leah just shrugged. She wasn't really sure why she was able to see them, but she could. Ever since first year. She didn't think she'd ever seen anybody die before. She had asked Sabrina about it but her mother stayed quiet and didn't answer. So Leah was stuck, wondering why she could see things that only people who have seen other people die could see.

Umbridge also showed up and Leah spent the whole time glaring at her and not even hearing what she was saying.

The next Potions class, Leah got in trouble because she was talking with Harry, so Snape moved her next to Draco. Harry gave her sympathetic looks and Leah moved back next to Draco with much grumbling.

"What? Not happy to see me?" Draco asked.

"No." Leah muttered. Snape put the potion ingredients and steps on the front board and everyone got their stuff out and started.

"You know…it's funny how touchy you are." Draco said. Leah rolled her eyes and didn't answer. "Cat got your tongue, Black?"

"Do you get a kick out of making everyone else's lives as miserable as yours?" Leah asked, making it look like she was more interesting in what she was cutting. "Why else would you have made that song?"

"What makes you think my life is miserable?" Draco asked.

"Please…you do remember who you're talking to right?" Leah asked, looking at Draco, finally. "You were the one that told me, plain as day, that you hate your dad."

"And that makes my life miserable?" Draco asked quietly. "I think you just miss me." Leah glared at him then punched Draco in the face.

"Miss Black! Explain yourself!" Snape said, marching back to where Leah sat, now smirking, next to Draco, who had (again) a bloody nose.

"Ok…it's really simple actually." Leah said, looking at Snape. "He was being himself…which is acting like an ass…and I punched him…hard too by the looks of it."

"Fifty points from Gryffindor house and detention." Snape said.

"Oh come on…it's not that bad." Leah said. "It'll stop bleeding soon."

"Keep talking…and I'll take more points." Snape said. Leah frowned but kept her peace. Snape went back to the front of the room. Draco's nose stopped bleeding after a while and Leah resisted the urge to punch him again.

The last DA meeting they had was spent going over things they already knew. Leah didn't participate much, letting Neville do most of the work. She was actually thinking about Christmas. True…she had been invited to the Burrow, but she decided to stay with Sirius over the holidays. Her grandfather and Sabrina were also going to be at Headquarters so it was almost like the family Christmas that Leah always thought about.

When Harry finally got back to the common room at the end of it, after everyone else had gone, it was to find Hermione writing a letter, Ron, lying on the hearthrug, trying to finish his Transfiguration work and Leah with her head on the table, sitting next to Hermione and watching her write the letter.

"What kept you?" Ron asked.

"You alright Harry?" Leah asked when Harry didn't answer. Harry just shrugged.

"What's up?" Ron asked, getting up on an elbow so that he could see Harry better. "What's happened?"

"Is it Cho?" Hermione asked. "Did she corner you after the meeting?" Harry nodded and Leah and Ron sniggered but stopped when Hermione gave them looks.

"So-er-what did she want?" Ron asked. Leah was trying hard not to laugh.

"She…" Harry said.

"She kissed you." Leah said, finally giving in and laughing. Hermione glared at her. "Sorry Mione but it's funny." Leah relaxed.

"Well?" Ron demanded. Harry nodded. "HA!" This time he was the one that laughed and Leah grinned. Ron calmed down slightly. "Well? How was it?"

"Wet." Harry said. Ron made a noise and Leah tilted her head in curiosity. "Because she was crying."

"Oh…" Ron said. "Are you that bad at kissing?"

"Dunno." Harry said. "Maybe I am."

"You so are not." Leah said. "Remember…I have kissed you before." That was the thing with Leah that separated her from the other girls. If any other girl said that, they'd be blushing. Leah stayed calm. "You aren't bad. Cho spends have her time crying these days. That's really all she does anymore."

"You'd think a bit of kissing would cheer her up." Ron said.

"Ron." Hermione said. Leah knew exactly what was going to happen so she silently stood and went to her dorm before anymore words were spoken. She changed and fell asleep with that feeling of forbid deep inside. She knew that something bad was going to happen but she felt too tired to do anything. The second her head hit the pillow, she was asleep…as if by magic.


Dun dun dun! I actually got a title for this chapter. YAY!
