Summer Pt2
Ok…new chapter. Second part of the summer.
Leah made her way through the crowd. She had finished singing after six, an hour later then planned only because the next act was late. She had danced with some dance groups from six, until eight. Now it was Eight-thirty and she was just walking around, wondering where Hermione might be, if she was there at all.
Due to the occasion, Leah was in a black skirt that went just below her knees, a black tank top and matching sandals. She had a silver chain belt on that hung off her hip. Her hair was down (it was died a sandy blonde colour now) and she had on a few bracelets as well as her ever present pentagram necklace and a cross necklace.
"Hey!" Leah turned and saw Blaise a few feet to her right. She smiled and walked over to him. "Did know if you'd still be around."
"I've only been off a stage for about half an hour." Leah said, wrapping her arms around Blaise's neck. His hands instantly went to her waist. "I sang from two to six because the other act was late. And I danced for the last two hours. My feet hurt now."
"Poor baby." Blaise said. Leah smirked. "So what do you wanna do then?"
"Are your grandparents here?" Leah asked.
"No they…" Blaise said. He never finished because Leah had grabbed his hand and was now pulling him somewhere. She wound up pulling him into what seemed to be a storage room before she brought Blaise's head down to hers and kissed him fiercely.
Hermione sat with Ron, Harry and Ginny. They each had some kind of frozen treat: Ron and Ginny had ice cream, Hermione had a slushy, and Harry had a popcicle. They were all looking around, hoping to spot Leah.
"Have you guys seen her yet?" Ginny asked, licking her ice cream.
"Not since we saw her dancing." Ron said. "I told you we shouldn't have gotten snacks."
"How were we supposed to know she'd stop while we were gone?" Harry asked.
"Well…I saw Blaise earlier." Ginny said. "She's probably found him and is making out with him or something."
"Now she tells us." Ron said. "If you had told us that there was the chance she'd be with Zambini…then we wouldn't have wasted all this time looking for her." Ginny just shrugged.
Back in the storage room, Leah let her head fall back, hitting the wall, as Blaise thrust into her again. He had gotten caught up in her wild behavior. One thing led to another and now Leah was against a wall and Blaise was thrusting into her over and over. Leah groaned as Blaise slowed down after reaching his peak. He carefully lowered her to the ground.
"Ok…now that's over. Mind telling me what it was about?" Blaise asked, panting slightly.
"Heat of the night…got to me." Leah said, breathing hard and nodding for no reason. "Besides…just kissing was getting boring." She laughed slightly. "Sorry about the shirt." She waved her hand at Blaise's shirt. When they first got into the room, all but the top two buttons were done up. Now, most of the buttons had scattered across the floor when Leah felt the urge to rip his shirt open. This time Blaise laughed. He looked down at his chest and the red marks.
"Don't worry about it." Blaise said. He took out his wand, waved it, and the buttons were back in place. Leah helped him button up the shirt. She then leaned against the wall again, playing with her skirt. "How long do you figure we were going?"
"Umm…I'd say a while." Leah said. "Twenty minutes at the very least."
"Well…let's go find out." Blaise said. They left the storage room and looked at some guy's watch. It was 9:25 which meant they were in the storage room for pretty much an hour. "I should be heading back home."
"Yeah…wouldn't wanna worry the grandma." Leah said, slightly bitter. Blaise looked at her. Leah sighed. "Sorry…whole family dead after all."
"Yeah I know." Blaise said. "See ya later." Leah nodded. Blaise apparated. A minute later Hermione and Ginny were yelling and running towards Leah. She sighed but smiled as her friends got closer.
A week later, Leah was trying her hardest not to squirm as she and Ginny stood with Fleur's sister, who Leah was now calling Gabby, while Bill and Fleur were saying their vows. Leah kept thinking of everything she was going to do once this was over…take off the damned heels for one. The dress was pretty much a pink version of what she wore to the festival. Because it was pink…Leah hated it. She wasn't much for pink.
"You may now kiss the bride." The priest said. Finally! Molly was crying. Ginny was shaking with suppressed laughter. Leah looked over at Harry and the Weasley boys (excluding Percy). Fred and George looked ready to explode. They had promised not to do any pranks. They didn't do an unbreakable vow though, but close to it.
A few minutes later, Leah managed to convince Fleur to let her change into something other then the pink dress from hell. She changed into a dark blue skirt and matching tank top. She also had on her black sandals. And now George had managed to convince her to dance. She should have seen it as his way of making her talk.
"So…Ron tells me you're dating Blaise Zambini." George said.
"Yeah…" Leah said, slowly.
"Why?" George asked.
"Nothing better to do." Leah said, shrugging. "Why? You jealous?"
"What? No." George said.
"Uh huh…sure." Leah said. She let George twirl her. "Then what is it?"
"What is what?" George asked.
"You getting worked up." Leah said.
"I'm allowed to." George said. "You're my friend and technically part of the family. Which makes you sorta like my sister."
"Yeah…so glad you're taking my feelings into consideration now." Leah muttered bitterly.
"What's that mean?" George asked.
"You know what it means." Leah said.
"Hey we told you what we were doing." George said. "You told us to go for it."
"Since when do you listen to me?" Leah asked. "Remember…I did everyone wanted me to then."
"Yeah…then your dad dies and now you're completely going for your Sierra personality." George said.
"So what?" Leah said. "At least I don't let everyone else run my life anymore. There's no one around who can anyways. My grandma's dead, my dad's dead, my grandpa's dead and my mom's dead."
"She's missing…" George started.
"She's dead and you all know it!" Leah said, loudly. People around them looked at them. They stopped dancing. "You guys just don't want me to know it because you all thought I'd flip. Why didn't anyone tell me?"
"We…They…" George said.
"Cut the crap. No matter what Molly says I know you and George are now a part of the order." Leah said. "You all just thought I'd have some kind of break down. Well guess what…I didn't. So tell everyone else to cut the crap and stop fucking lying to me." Leah took a few steps then decided to apparate. She apparated back to her house and, for some reason, wasn't at all surprised to see Dumbledore there drinking tea.
"Ah. I've been waiting for you." Dumbledore said, looking at Leah and putting the cup down.
"Of course you have. Why else would you be here." Leah said, sitting down and holding out her hand. "Ok who's body this time?"
"Why do you think I want you to do that?" Dumbledore asked. Leah just shrugged. "I have come to apologize."
"For what?" Leah asked.
"For doubting you." Dumbledore said. Leah raised an eyebrow. "And for saying you were wrong. You were right…about your mother."
"No shit." Leah said.
"She knew the dangers of this mission." Dumbledore said. "I'm afraid to say that I was wrong. I thought Sabrina would be able to live where others would not."
"So it was pretty much a suicide mission?" Leah asked, outraged. "You sent my mother off to her death without even considering my feelings?"
"She accepted all on her own." Dumbledore said. "I wasn't intending to send anyone."
"Ok so she didn't consider my feelings." Leah said.
"She knew your fate." Dumbledore said. "She knew of the prophecy. Both she and Sirius were the first ones to hear it, being your parents."
"So what? She made it so I'm supposed to go through everything alone?" Leah asked.
"You won't be alone. You have to help Harry after all." Dumbledore said.
"Oh yeah…that makes everything so much better." Leah said, sarcastically.
"But you won't be alone." Dumbledore said. "There will be someone."
"Who?" Leah asked.
"Where's the fun in telling you? I'd much rather see you figure it out for yourself." Dumbledore said. Leah rolled her eyes and groaned, letting her head drop onto the back of the chair she was on. "Now…you were right again. I am here to…have you go into Bellatrix once more."
"Not for the last time…I know that much is for sure." Leah muttered. She held out her hand again. Dumbledore dropped a ring into it. It was the ring Leah used the first time. She closed her fingers around it and closed her eyes, feeling the tug almost instantly. Leah opened her eyes to find herself standing in front of Voldemort. She panicked slightly. Last time she was in front of Voldemort, he seemed to know that Bellatrix wasn't…well…herself.
"What are you trying to say?" Voldemort asked.
"The girl is dangerous." Bellatrix said. "She…she knows things. Or will know things."
"Are you honestly telling me that you are afraid of a seventeen year old girl?" Voldemort asked. He sighed and laid a very cold hand onto Bellatrix's cheek. A second later the cold was burning hot and Bellatrix and Leah screamed in the pain. She backed away, holding her cheek. "Don't you ever let me hear that again."
"Yes master." Bellatrix said, dropping to her knees. Leah felt herself get pulled again. She opened her eyes to see Dumbledore standing over her with something ice cold on her cheek.
"What happened?" Dumbledore asked. Leah told him what was said and what Voldemort did. "Well…Bellatrix is smart if she is afraid of you."
"How do you know it's me?" Leah asked.
"Can you think of anyone else?" Dumbledore asked. Leah shook her head. Dumbledore removed the ice pack from her cheek and Leah looked in a mirror to see the red imprint of a hand there.
"Will it go away?" Leah asked.
"Yes." Dumbledore said. As Leah stared at her reflection, a thin red line appeared in the hand mark and blood trickled out from the cut. Leah sighed…not only did she get the after affect of her soul leaving her body…but she also got the mark from Voldemort. Life was too much like her…a big bitch.
Ok so here's this chapter. Next chapter is going to have some….interesting stuff…between Leah and Draco on the train. Seventh year is going to be fun. :)
