Chapter 5
Tsk, tsk. You people are going back to not reviewing are you? Well I might…do something about that. Oh well…This is gonna continue from the last chapter and jump into like a month or something later.
Draco watched the different emotions rush over Leah's face. He wondered how her parents ever thought she'd be able to do this. He only knew her for seven years…if that. And he knew how hard it was for her to express any emotion but anger.
"How about I go first? That help?" Draco asked.
"Yeah." Leah said, sighing in relief and smiled softly.
"Alright then." Draco said. He licked his lips and looked around before focusing back on Leah. "It really is hard to find the words."
"Well…do you…" Leah said. She couldn't say it.
"Love you?" Draco helped out. Leah slowly nodded. "Yeah…I do. I really do love you. I don't bloody well care what anyone says." He watched the play of emotions run over Leah's face before he sighed, looked down, then looked up a few seconds later. "I've fallen so deep for you, I don't want to be saved."
(((I didn't make up the line but I don't remember how I got it so maybe I did make it, not sure…anyways I really like it.)))
Leah's eyes searched Draco's but all she found was exactly what he said. She let out a breath that she didn't know she was holding.
"I…" Leah said. Draco watched her with his head tilted. She wasn't sure what to do. She had never, so far as she knew, had told anyone that she loved them.
"Want help?" Draco asked. Leah nodded. "Ok…do you love me?" She looked at him then took a deep breath and nodded.
"Yeah…I do." Leah said. Draco actually looked surprised. Leah laughed softly and looked around. "I think…I always have. I didn't even know it, though, until the train ride home." She locked eyes with Draco again. "Before I said all those things that I never meant to say."
"And cut your wrist again." Draco said softly. Leah's fingers trailed over her wrist. She hadn't worn a band since she showed Harry, which meant that everyone knew now. She was scolded quite a few times about it too.
"Yeah." Leah said. "But…plus side…haven't done it since!"
"That's good." Draco said. "So…let's get this straight." He moved closer to Leah and smiled. "I love you…" Leah nodded. "And you love me." Leah smiled and nodded. "You wanna give it a try?"
"Give what a try?" Leah asked. "Saying I love you." They both froze and stared at each other. "Oh my god." Leah laughed. Draco smiled. "I actually…wow." They both laughed and lied down. Draco wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead.
"This has turned out to be a good day so far." Draco said.
"Yeah." Leah said. "Oh god…I love you so bloody much it's amazing!" Draco laughed.
"You're gonna overdo it." He said.
"I don't care right now!" Leah said. "I'm just so thrilled to be able to say it." There was a buzzing noise and they both looked around.
"What the bloody hell is that?" Draco asked.
"Oh…cell phone." Leah said, slipping from Draco's arms and crawling over to where she had her sandals. Her cell phone was sitting by them. She pushed the button and held it to her ear. "Hello?"
"Hey Leah…umm…why is Dobby here?" Ginny asked.
"Oh…Dumbledore sent him." Leah said.
"Ok…why?" Ginny asked.
"Can't remember." Leah said, moving back to the mattress, taking her sandals with her. While she was putting them on, Draco sat up, wrapped his arms around her waist and lightly kissed her neck. "Why you ask?"
"It was just shocking, that's all." Ginny said. "Coming in and seeing a house elf." Leah giggled. "What?"
"Nothing." Leah said. "Draco's being mean."
"Wha….ooooh." Ginny said. "Did I disrupt something?"
"No." Leah said. "We'll be back soon ok?"
"Ok good." Ginny said. "Dobby says Hermione is making him sorta uncomfortable because she's asking him all the stuff to do with S.P.E.W again."
"Oh boy." Leah said. "Ok just keep her away from him. See ya."
"Bye." Ginny said. Leah hung up and gave into her urge to moan.
"What was that about?" Draco asked.
"Ginny wondering why Dobby was at the house." Leah said. "We gotta go back now to help stop Hermione from making him uncomfortable."
"Do we have to?" Draco asked.
"Yeah." Leah said. Draco grumbled but followed her in standing up. They gathered up everything else they needed to then headed back to the house to save Dobby from Hermione.
About a month later Leah and Draco were sitting in front of the TV, watching the news, when the doorbell rang. They looked at each other and Leah gave Draco a pleading look. She didn't feel like answering the door. Draco sighed then got up, went to the door and opened it.
"Good afternoon Mr. Malfoy." Dumbledore said, standing patiently.
"Umm…hi." Draco said.
"May I come in?" Dumbledore asked.
"Uh…" Draco said. He turned around. "Leah…can Dumbledore come in?"
"Yes!" Leah said quickly, coming over. "Come in, come in!"
"Thank you." Dumbledore said, entering the house.
"I should be thanking you." Leah said. "Dropping the protection and all."
"Your parents are very convincing." Dumbledore said. The three of them sat down in the living room. Dumbledore sat on the couch whereas Draco sat on a chair with Leah sitting on his lap.
"Hey….umm…Dobby." Leah said. Dobby came out of the kitchen. "Can we have some drinks?"
"Right away miss!" Dobby said, returning to the kitchen.
"So…" Leah said, looking at Dumbledore. "What you come here for?"
"To see how you two are doing." Dumbledore said. Leah and Draco looked at each other then at Dumbledore. Dobby returned with some glasses of iced tea. The three of them thanked him and he went back to cleaning.
"We're pretty…ok." Leah said. "Hey…mom and dad never told me…are they still at James' old house or are they living at headquarters now?"
"Alternating." Dumbledore said.
"Oh." Leah said, sipping her tea. They drank in silence for a while.
"I would like to take you two somewhere." Dumbledore said, once they finished their drinks and Dobby took away the empty glasses.
"You up to it?" Leah asked, looking at Draco.
"Sure." Draco said. They stood up and followed Dumbledore. He led them to the underground where he sat near the front and they sat at the middle. Dumbledore kept them in sight though. They really didn't care though and soon they were whispering things to each other. Most of the things Draco whispered made Leah giggle.
"I think…more then Dumbledore is watching us." Leah whispered. She nodded her head slightly at a couple that looked to be in their mid-twenties. Leah moved closer to Draco and he trailed his fingertips over her exposed skin. Leah's attention alternated between the couple and Dumbledore. She let her other senses focus on what Draco was doing, but she really didn't want to do something that would get Dumbledore frowning at them. The couple frowned before the girl moved right up to the girl and they got all touchy.
"I think we have some competition." Draco muttered.
"I think you're right." Leah muttered. "I also think that Dumbledore isn't going to be very approving."
"So what?" Draco asked, trailing small kisses over her shoulder and neck.
"He's watching just as much as they are." Leah pointed out.
"Leah Black…I do believe you are losing your touch." Draco said. "Shall I remind you of how you used to be?"
"On a train?" Leah asked. "Planes are much better. At least then you can join a club." Draco laughed before pulling Leah onto his lap. He kept up with kissing her neck and every available part of her above the neckline of her tank top. His fingers lazily dragged over her stomach, arms and legs. Leah leaned her head back against the window, enjoying the feel of his lips and fingers. Her eyes were half closed as she watched the couple suddenly start arguing before the girl got up and left their section of the train. The guy followed after her. Leah looked at Dumbledore to see him talking to another passenger. After a while of looking at him, Leah realized the other passenger was Kingsley. Now what was he doing there? Leah sighed before sitting up and moving off Draco's lap. He looked at her.
"What's the matter?" Draco asked.
"Nothing…just wondering why Kingsley is here." Leah said, nodding over at Dumbledore.
"Isn't he an aurora?" Draco asked.
"Yeah." Leah said. She looked at Draco as an odd look crossed his face. "You ok?"
"Yeah…just…" Draco said, looking down. Leah looked at his arm. He was wearing a t-shirt and an extremely thin jacket overtop, mainly to hide the mark. Leah felt sympathy for him but at the same time she felt a bit of anger at herself for not being able to help him. True, those marks were pretty much permanent but they weren't 100 percent permanent. Little short of peeling the skin off, there really wasn't much Leah could think of to do.
"Are you going to…" Leah said.
"No…I'm sure Wormtail will cover for me." Draco said. "I have no clue what Sabs and them did to him but he's pretty much terrified of me now."
"That is so weird hearing you call my mom one of her nicknames." Leah said, staring at him.
"Well I didn't know who she was for a while." Draco said, putting his arm over her shoulders and pulling her closer to him. "So I'm sorta used to it now." He felt Leah shrug and heard her sigh.
"I love you." Leah muttered. She looked at him. "That's what I should do. As soon we see my parents I'm gonna tell them I love them."
"Good." Draco said. "You're getting a second chance. Don't blow it."
"Somehow that sounded wrong." Leah said. They laughed then heard a cough. Dumbledore was standing over them, surprisingly balanced even though the train still moved.
"Our stop is coming up." He said.
"Ok." Leah said. She and Draco stood up, holding onto each other and the back of the seat for balance. Kingsley was, oddly enough, gone now. When they stopped (nearly falling over as well, even Dumbledore lost his footing slightly) and got off, Leah looked around, noticing how familiar this station was.
"Where are we?" Draco asked.
"Just wait." Dumbledore said, leading them above ground. They followed him and a few minutes after leaving the station, Dumbledore stopped. "I hope you know where we are Miss Black."
"We're…" Leah said, looking around. "We're at headquarters!"
"That is correct." Dumbledore said.
"But Draco…" Leah said. "Oh…"
"Oh? Oh what?" Draco asked. Dumbledore turned and looked at them. Leah had a bright look on her face and Draco relaxed.
"I, Mr. Malfoy, am the secret keeper for the Order of the Phoenix." Dumbledore said. "I have added my own protections to this house that belongs to the Black Family, therefore making it impossible for Lord Voldemort and his followers to find it and enter."
"That means…" Draco said.
"That means, Dumbledore is letting you see where the Order operates." Leah said, smiling. Suddenly her smile fell. "Are Harry and Ron…"
"Just wait." Dumbledore said. Reluctantly, Leah nodded. He looked back at Draco. "I have a very serious question for you."
"Ok." Draco said.
"Can we, the Order of the Phoenix, enemies of Lord Voldemort, trust you, Draco Malfoy, with any secrets that we might share with you?" Dumbledore asked. He kept eye contact with Draco. Leah looked between.
"Yes." Draco said. Dumbledore kept his gaze for a moment longer before smiling and nodding. He turned back around, suddenly the house was there.
"Shall we go in and see everyone?" Dumbledore asked. He didn't wait for an answer but just walked forward. Leah took Draco's hand and they followed. Once inside, Leah looked at the big empty space on the wall.
"Where is everyone?" She asked, looking back at Dumbledore.
"Upstairs…in the kitchen." Dumbledore said. "Take your pick." There was a sound of running above them and a few seconds later a line of four people ran down the stairs.
"Mom!" Leah said, letting go of Draco's hand and meeting her parents, as well as godparents, at the foot of the stairs. She hugged Sabrina first, then Sirius, then Lily, then James. "Oh my god…you are never gonna believe this."
"Believe what?" Sabrina asked.
"You gotta guess." Leah said.
"I hate it when we can't see everything." Sabrina grumbled.
"Just tell them." Draco said, coming over.
"Ok." Leah said. "I just realized I'm acting like a little kid." She hugged Sabrina and Sirius again. "I love you guys so much!"
"Did you just…" Sabrina said, taking a step away. Leah smiled. Sabrina laughed and hugged her again.
"What's going on?" Tonks asked, coming out of the kitchen. "Leah! Hey!"
"Hi." Leah said. She watched Tonks' eyes land on Draco and harden. Leah took hold of Draco's hand again. "Is everyone else in there too?"
"Pretty much. Cept Fred and George." Tonks said. "They have to work today. But Charlie's here." Leah smiled. She was relieved that George wasn't there, especially after what she promised him last time. She knew he was probably gonna punch Draco or something. "Why is…umm…"
"He is here on my invitation." Dumbledore said.
"Come on." Sabrina said. "If we're gonna convince anyone of you two actually being together…we're gonna need you there."
"Ok." Leah said. She was so happy with the fact that she was going to see Charlie for the first time in quite a while that she didn't even think about the possibility that Harry and Ron were more then likely part of the 'everyone' that Tonks said. Dumbledore followed Tonks into the kitchen. Sabrina, Sirius, Lily and James led Leah and Draco into the kitchen.
"Hey Leah!" Charlie said, once he saw her. "You look nice."
"Hair's back to normal colour now." Leah said, smiling. She felt Draco tense and looked at him. She followed his gaze and saw Harry and Ron. Her smile instantly fell from the looks on their faces.
"You two can sit down you know." Sirius said. "It is your house, Leah."
"Yeah." Lily said. "Just ignore Harry."
"Mom!" Harry said. "I don't think…"
"It's not your house honey." Lily said. Harry muttered something. "What did you say?"
"He said that he spends more time here then Leah does." Ginny said, walking around from where she was sitting and gave Leah a hug then gave Draco one.
"I don't believe this." Ron said. He made to stand up but Sabrina suddenly growled and he sat down quickly.
"I'm suddenly not feeling so good about this guys." Leah said, addressing her parents but keeping her eyes on the people around the table. Some of them looked confused, most angry. Her eyes caught Remus' and was glad to see he didn't have either look on his face. There was one more person on their side.
"Can someone explain why Malfoy is here?" Harry asked.
"I invited him." Dumbledore said, calmly. Everyone looked at him and Leah felt Draco relax slightly. She turned to face him fully, ignoring everyone in the room.
"Do you want to go?" Leah asked. "I can tell you're not comfortable."
"We want answers Leah!" Ron said. Leah flinched and closed her eyes. She turned around and looked at everyone else. The door to the kitchen opened and everyone looked to see Fred and George come in.
"Told ya we'd get away." Fred said.
"Yeah…like it or not, mum, we are…" George said, but stopped once he spotted Leah and Draco. "Hey Le. How you doing?"
"Umm…was ok…until I got in here." Leah said.
"What about you?" George asked, looking at Draco who looked confused at the fact that George wasn't trying to jinx him or something already.
"Uh…well…I guess I'm fine." Draco said. George nodded.
"Can someone explain what the bloody hell is going on?" Harry said.
"Who wants to start?" James asked.
"Better question is how." Leah muttered.
"I just wanna know how the hell you two got back together." Harry said. "According to what Ginny and Hermione told us, you guys haven't seen each other since the last day of school."
"Yeah…and if you paid attention to anything…" Ginny said. "You would know that a month ago Dumbledore dropped the barrier around Leah's house so that they could get back together."
"Why?" Ron asked.
"Multiple reasons." Hermione said. She hadn't moved from her seat next to Ron. "One, because they needed to be together. Two, because Leah was protecting him."
"Mione!" Leah said.
"Opps." Hermione said.
"Protecting him?" Harry asked. "What?" Leah looked at Dumbledore then at her parents.
"Leah's more then what you think she is." Lily said.
"She's a protector." James said. "And before we explain anything, you are not allowed to ask for it." He, along with Lily, Sabrina and Sirius, took the next few minutes explaining fully what Leah was.
"Why can't I ask?" Harry asked.
"Because it would be unfair." Leah said.
"I wasn't asking you." Harry snapped.
"Harry!" Lily said.
"This is what happened when you're raised by the Dursley's." Sabrina grumbled.
"No…this is what happens when you find out your friend is dating your enemy." Harry said. Leah avoided looking at him.
"Grow up Potter." Draco said. "This is getting old. You and Weasel are the only ones with a problem."
"You haven't asked us." Fred said.
"Ok…Potter and Weasley are the only ones in that group that still have a problem with it." Draco said. "Mione and Gin have no problem."
"That's true." Ginny said.
"So that's why you and Harry are broken up at the moment." Fred said. Ginny nodded.
"Harry won't stop being a bugger." She said. "And if he keeps up blaming Leah for…Leah?" Everyone looked at Leah. Her head was down but they knew something was wrong.
"Leah?" Draco said, putting his hand on her shoulder. Leah's head snapped up and she looked freaked. "What did you…" She looked at him. "Oh bloody hell. Don't tell me you did it again."
"Ok…I won't." Leah said.
"I know you've done it a few times but it nearly killed you before." Draco said. "What the bloody hell are you thinking?"
"I wasn't doing it on purpose." Leah said.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Harry asked.
"You have no right to butt in on my life or worry about me so stop!" Leah said.
"Uh no…we still have that right!" Ron said. "Remember our contract."
"Contract?" Everyone asked.
"Back in second year." Ron said.
"Oh…that." Leah said, remembering explaining the contract to Blaise when she first hooked up with him. "Well that doesn't count anymore!"
"I still have it…just…gotta find it!" Ron said.
"Well whoopdee-dingle-doo!" Leah said. She took a deep breath.
"What happened?" Draco asked, as if the argument between Leah and Ron never happened.
"Her again…umm." Leah said. "Your dad…umm…they're all really, really suspicious."
"About…" Draco said. Leah pointed a finger between the two of them.
"What?" Sabrina said, standing up. "Are you telling me that they all know?"
"From the sounds of things…" Leah said. "I don't know how they would. He's been going when ever it burns."
"Except today." Draco said. Leah looked at him and nodded. "It started hurting on the train."
"This isn't good." Lily said.
"What the bloody hell are you all talking about?" Tonks asked.
"The Death Eaters seem to know about Leah and Draco." Sirius said.
"And how did Leah find this out?" Molly asked.
"She was there for a few seconds, apparently." Sabrina said, turning to look at her daughter.
"Couple minutes." Leah said. "I wasn't trying to!"
"How was she there?" George asked.
"Gonna need your help on this one mom." Leah said.
"How about I explain some things and you show Draco around?" Sabrina said. "I think getting you two out of this room would be a good thing."
"Thank you so much!" Leah said, relaxing quite a bit. She took hold of Draco's hand and led him out of the kitchen. "So…what do you wanna see first?"
"I don't know." Draco said.
"Wow…that really got you nervous didn't it?" Leah said, leading him up the stairs.
"How can you tell?" Draco asked.
"Because normally you probably would have said 'your room'." Leah said. Draco smirked. "I'm not sure if it's still my room though. I really have no clue how many rooms are in this place and for all I know Lily and James could have it now if they stay here." They walked around, Leah showing him the different rooms and such, until they came to the room where the Black Family Tree was.
"That's a lot of black marks." Draco said.
"Yeah." Leah said. She pointed at one. "That's my dad's. That's Tonks' mom."
"My parents." Draco said quietly.
"Yeah…and you." Leah said. "It brings a lot of realization to what we're doing once you see it. Everyone pure blood family is related. I'm related to you, you're related to the Weasleys, even though they're the biggest blood traitors in….years."
"Everyone's related to someone." Draco said.
"Yep. Even probably related to James somehow." Leah said. Draco laughed and they left the room. By the time they got back to the kitchen, everyone was quiet. "What happened?"
"Soaking up all the information we've given them." Sabrina said.
"Ok." Leah said. "Oh! How's Snape? Or do you guys not know?"
"We know." Sirius said. "He's fine. He's been spending a lot of time keeping an eye on her."
"Her?" Leah asked.
"You know." Lily said. "Her."
"Oh!" Leah said. To everyone's surprise, she smiled. "Am I ever going to…"
"Yep." Sabrina said. Leah's smile grew.
"What?" Draco asked. Leah whispered something in his ear and he smiled too.
"What the bloody hell is going on?" Harry asked.
"Nothing that involves you." Leah said.
"If it has anything to do with Voldemort and beating him then yeah it does!" Harry said. Now they were yelling at each other.
"Well it doesn't so for once in your god damn life, butt out!" Leah said.
"You're not the boss of me!" Harry said.
"This is my house!" Leah said.
"It's Sirius' house!" Harry said.
"He gave it to me! So it's my goddamn house and if you don't like it then get the fuck out!" Leah said. Her necklace glowed and next thing anyone knew, Harry was sitting against the wall.
"Ow!" Harry said.
"Serves you right you little…" Leah said.
"Enough." Dumbledore said. Leah looked at him, completely forgetting about him. "For two people who are supposed to become friends again, you are not going the right way about it."
"We're not supposed to do anything together." Harry said.
"Again…you're wrong Potter." Draco said.
"And how the bloody hell would you know?" Harry snapped.
"Because, unlike you, I actually ask questions." Draco said. They were about to jump at each other but Leah grabbed Draco and Hermione grabbed Harry.
"What questions would you ask?" Harry asked. His eyes were hard as they went from Draco to Leah. "How'd you get the answers?" Leah suddenly yelped and lifted her hand to eye level.
"Oh bloody hell." Draco said.
"I'm sorry…I was angry." Leah said. "It's not the first time I've done it."
"Yeah I know." Draco said, lightly touching her hand.
"What happened?" Hermione asked.
"Leah stuck her nails into her hands again." Draco said. "It's not that bad." Out of habit he brought her hand up and kissed it. Harry broke out of Hermione's hold and, surprising everyone, left the kitchen.
"Go." Sabrina said. Leah slid her hand from Draco's grasp and hurried after Harry. The front door closed as she got out of the kitchen and she rushed out it.
"Harry!" Leah yelled. "Harry will you just stop!"
"What do you want!" Harry asked, whipping around.
"Uhh…to talk to you…duh!" Leah said.
"Wouldn't you rather make out with Malfoy?" Harry said.
"God! You are such a jackass!" Leah said. "All you think about is yourself! Why on earth do you think I broke up with you?"
"It wasn't working out." Harry said.
"No. That's what I told you, I lied." Leah said. "We fought, I dumped you, and used that as an excuse. What I'm saying now is the truth! You are a conceited little jerk who thinks everyone should bow down to you just because you've escaped from Voldemort a few times. And half those times wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for people helping you!"
"And you're anything special!" Harry asked.
"I'm not saying I am and I sure as fuck don't want people following me around because of something that I had no control over." Leah said. "But you think you've thinks bad? Hun you don't know what bad is."
"Oh really…why don't you enlighten me?" Harry asked.
"You try living my life for one bloody day and you wouldn't act so high and mighty." Leah said. "Nearly being killed by Voldemort, having to go into Bellatrix's body, Narcissa's body AND Peter's body. Do you know how disgusting and unnerving that is!" She shivered. "Oh…and also following your friend to your father's death, which by the way, I still haven't forgiven you for!" She crossed her arms, for the first time realizing it was raining. "OH! Did I forget to mention I was pregnant!"
"WHAT!" Harry yelled.
"Yeah." Leah said. "Oh don't worry, no one knew cept Dumbledore, McGonagall and Pomfrey. And Draco didn't find out until AFTER Voldemort killed it. Why do you think I was so bloody and couldn't walk? Huh? Voldemort barely touched me. So you think you have it bad? Trying having something connected to you die when you're supposed to be some great and powerful protector!" Leah turned and headed back to the house.
Everyone had moved from the kitchen to the entrance hall and as soon as Leah entered Sabrina handed her a towel which Leah gratefully took and wrapped around her shoulders.
"Where's Harry?" Lily asked.
"Who cares?" Leah said. "But he knows everything now so he's probably standing out there in the rain shocked."
"Everything, everything?" Sabrina asked.
"Well he knows that Voldemort killed my baby." Leah said.
"What!" All the Weasleys said.
"Someone else explain." Leah said.
"I'm gonna take her home." Draco said.
"That would be a good idea." Lily said.
"I can take myself home ya know." Leah said, smiling slightly. "I did pass my test before you did so…" She stuck her tongue out at Draco. They smiled at each other.
"Leah, wait!" Ron said suddenly. Leah looked at him. "Can I talk to you?"
"Umm…" Leah said, looking at her parents. They nodded so Leah followed Ron into the kitchen. "What's up?"
"I'm…I'm really sorry." Ron said. "For the way I acted and all. It was just surprising you know. You're my best friend and Malfoy was pretty much our worst enemy next to Voldemort."
"Well yeah…you acted like a jerk." Leah said. "An overprotective jerk that I shouldn't forgive. Draco's not all that bad. I mean, yeah sure, he was an asshole in the first years but…once my grandma died…he changed. Like the rest of us did." She walked closer to Ron and took hold of his hand in both of hers. "Ron…I'm tired of constantly fighting with everyone. You've been my bestest friend forever. I don't wanna stay like this with you and me never seeing each other and arguing every time we do."
"I'm sorry Le." Ron said, hugging her. Leah smiled slightly and hugged him back. "Are we good then?"
"Almost." Leah said. "Can you do one thing for me?"
"Sure." Ron said. "What?"
"Try being nice to Draco." Leah said.
"I make no promises." Ron said.
"Good enough." Leah said. "Just don't give him any reasons to fight with you ok?" Ron sighed and nodded. Leah smiled. They went back to everyone else, both smiling. Leah laughed at the look on Draco's face before putting her arms over his shoulders and kissing him lightly.
"Ok I agreed to not give him reasons to fight with me…I never agreed to letting you two make out whenever you want in front of me." Ron said. Leah laughed again.
"Right then…we'll be leaving then." Draco said. "Ready?"
"Go!" Leah said, disappearing. Draco disappeared right after. A second later the door opened and Harry walked in.
Leah and Draco appeared at the same time in the living room.
"What exactly were you and Weasley talking about?" Draco asked, sitting down and pulling Leah down with him.
"Making up." Leah said. "Me and Ron are good again. Thank god. That's one down. Now I just gotta try and fix things with Harry…that's gonna take a while." Draco laughed and pulled her closer.
A few days later Leah, Draco and Hermione were in the back, messing around in the pool when Ginny came outside.
"Hey guys!" She said.
"Hey Gin!" The three in the pool replied.
"Guess who I brought." Ginny said, pulling off her over large shirt to reveal her blue bathing suit.
"Who?" Leah asked, pulling herself out of the pool.
"Nice…big…house Le." Ron said, walking outside, looking all over the place. Leah smiled and ran at him, stopping right in front of him before hugging him. "Ah! Wet!"
"Exactly." Leah said. "Oh…did you bring a suit?"
"Umm…no. wasn't aware of needing one." Ron said. "Although that would explain why my sister was wearing what she was wearing." Ginny stuck her tongue out at him before running and diving into the pool. Draco and Hermione yelled as they got splashed.
"Come with me." Leah said, taking Ron's hand and leading him back inside and upstairs. She led him into her room and opened a few drawers in the second dresser she recently got for all of Draco's stuff. She pulled out a pretty much new pair of blue trunks. "Here."
"Umm…Le?" Ron said.
"They're brand new Ron." Leah said. "I think he's only worn them like once. He likes his green ones better. If you don't wanna wear these then I can just send Dobby out to buy you some real quick."
"Fine." Ron said, taking the trunks.
"Hermione's room is across the hall and to the left." Leah said. They left the room, Leah went downstairs, Ron went to Hermione's room to change. She got into the pool really quietly and went up behind Draco before jumping on his back, causing them both to fall into the water.
"You do that so many times…yet he still doesn't know to keep an eye out for you." Hermione said, once Leah had surfaced.
"Yeah." Leah said. Draco surfaced. "Why don't you keep an eye out for me? I jump on you a lot…and that sounded wrong."
"That would be why." Draco said, smirking. Leah smacked him. "Ow!" The girls all laughed then screamed as something came out of no where.
"CANNON BALL!" Ron yelled. The girls screamed again as they got splashed. Draco laughed.
"Nice going mate!" He said. Leah smacked him again. "Bloody hell stop!"
"Ronald Weasley we're gonna kill you!" The girls said before jumping at Ron. All five of them spent the rest of the afternoon being weird and playing games. Ron and Draco were nice and civil to each other which made Leah, Hermione and Ginny relieved and happy.
Ok there's that chapter. Anyone got any ideas for anything big, go ahead and tell me! I'm totally open and starting to feel dependant on my readers.
