Leona entered the potions classroom trying not to let Professor Snape see her. Luckily his back was to the class getting a few ingredients for the current potion.
She almost made it to her seat beside Harry when Snape turned around. "Ah Leona I'm glad you can grace us with your presence. Now for interrupting my class and being late you have lost Gryffindor 10 points a detention."
Leona sat down in her seat glaring.
Draco then walked into the class and loudly pulled back his seat just down the row. Snape didn't say anything. Leona waited for the potions master to do something to Draco but when it never came, Leona got furious. "Professor I don't find it fair that you would take points away from Gryffindor for my being late and not take any away from Draco after he came to class after me."
"Miss Riddle you have no right to tell me how I run my class. Draco why were you late?"
"Leona over there was giving me a rough time in the hall. She refused to give me my schedule which accounted for me being late."
"He's lying! He's the one that had my schedule not the other way around!"
"Leona that outburst has just gotten you another detention and another 10 points being taken from Gryffindor."
Leona stood up fuming. Harry tugged on her sleeve and murmured to her, "Leona sit down already. You're just going to get yourself into even more trouble."
"The only reason why you trust what Draco is saying and not me is because he's a Slytherin not to mention a prefect. You pick on all the other houses but you baby your own. It is completely unfair to the rest of the school. All the other teachers have to be equal to all the houses but you think you are above that rule."
"That's it Leona! Two weeks of detention and 50 more points from Gryffindor bringing your total lost of points up to 70."
The few Gryffindors that were in there yelled at Leona to sit down and shut up. But being Leona she refused to listen to them, "Fine but I'm sure Dumbledore would see this differently if I am to tell him about your little way dealing with students."
"Are you blackmailing me Miss Riddle.?" Snape asked in a low tone.
"Think whatever you want," Leona replied smiling, she gathered her things and left the classroom with Snape yelling at her to get back there.
At first she was going to go to Dumbledore and tell him about Professor Snape, but Leona just wasn't in the mood. She hadn't had breakfast she was starving.
Instead of heading to Dumbledore's office, Leona decided to head to the kitchens. She had gone there countless times during her stay before school. All the house elves knew her there. She was constantly giving Dobby, one of the house elves, mix-match socks.
Leona went into the kitchens by tickling the pear in the front of the doorway. House elves bustled about doing their work, Leona could already smell them making lunch. Dobby ran up to her when he saw his friend, "Leona what is you doing here? Don't you have class?"
"Yeah I do," Leona began, "But a few things happened and I decided to come here and visit everyone. Plus, I didn't have anything to eat for breakfast."
At her last comment ten elves came before her carrying trays filled with various foods and drinks.
"Like always, you go overboard." Leona grabbed a piece of jellied toast from the closet house elf and sat down beside the fireplace. She stayed there in the kitchens chatting to her friends till the bell rang ending first period.
"Thanks," Leona said as she headed out of the doors and went to her next class.
At dinner, Harry had told all the other Gryffindors what Leona had done in Potions.
"It's not a big deal. I was simply doing what everyone else has been thinking of doing." Leona said to all the attention she was getting.
"Well of course everyone thought of telling Snape off, but no one has ever gone through with it. Why didn't we lose any points though? I'm sure by now they would have been deducted." Hermione said.
Leona looked up to the teacher's table. She glanced first to Professor Snape who didn't even look towards the Gryffindor table, and then she looked at Dumbledore. She could have sworn that he had the tinniest of smiles when he looked at her. Did he know about what I did in class this morning? Leona thought to herself.
"Leona you barely ate anything at lunch and now you hardly touched your dinner. Are you feeling ok?" Ron asked as he shoved a chicken leg into his mouth.
Leona looked up from her little castle she had been building with her mashed potatoes, "Yeah I'm fine. I'm just not all that hungry."
Leona stood of to the side of the entrance to the great hall while everyone left.
She grabbed Draco just as he was about to pass her and pulled him off to an empty room. He protested but she didn't loosen her grip on his arm.
"Why did you lie like that today Draco? I thought you said you were going to cover for me." Leona yelled slightly.
"I never said that, and you know it," Draco said stepping closer to Leona.
Leona glared at him.
"So you pulled me into an empty room just to ask me that?" Draco said with a mischievous grin on his face.
"Well yeah. What did you think I was going to do? Make out with you?"
"It's not like you haven't done that sort of thing before."
Leona sighed, "How many times have I told, you that you and me are over?"
Draco looked into Leona's eyes, "What happened between us? One day we were together, and the next you told me that we had to stop seeing each other. We were together for so long. You don't expect me to just forget all that do you?"
"Well sort of. All that is in the past. I don't need to explain to you why I decided to brake up with you. Things change and you shouldn't press the subject any more." With that said, Leona turned and left the room leaving Draco all there by himself
