(A/N): Hey Guys! Guess what? I GOT MY MICROSOFT WORD BACK! Ahem, now that that's over, here's the next chapter. I'm trying to update this story two days apart from each other, and I've only uploaded two chapters so far and this is the fifth chapter I've written if you include the prologue!

I started this story in 2012. I was fourteen. Its been almost ten years. If you don't like something in the early chapters, it's not going to suddenly change ten years after I wrote it. If you're going to review this story with criticisms, please log in so I can actually reply to you and not have to leave messages like this in chapters so you might actually see it. And if you're just going to bash the story for being inaccurate, again, please remember that I was fourteen, I wasn't born in the 1960's, and I have never been outside of Australia. And some things are inaccurate because that's what people in that time period thought- not necessarily what I think, or know today.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but Leo, Elaine and Nicholai.

Leo

Last night, Lily and I had stayed up until well after every other Gryffindor went to sleep, tired out from the feast. Lily had slept for most of the train ride here, and I didn't really need the sleep. We went to bed around one am, and crept upstairs to our separate dorms, only for me to find out that I was sharing a dorm with James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. They were all asleep, so I slunk silently to my bed, the furthest from the door and closest to the window. I chuckled quietly. Of course they had left me near the window, because in the morning, I woke to the sun shining onto my face, waking me up at six am.

Of course, I was fine with this, and went down to the Great hall for breakfast after getting dressed. I sat silently at the Gryffindor table for another forty-five minutes, eating my breakfast and reading the book I had brought with me before only the third or fourth person to arrive plonked down onto the bench beside me. I paused in my reading and slowly lifted my eyes to see a girl with long, pin straight dark brown hair, the long fringe of which was dyed red, dark brown eyes, pale skin and a small gap between her two front teeth. She beamed at me before spinning in her seat so she was no longer facing me, but the plate next to mine, piling it up with food.

"It's good to see another early riser!" She chirped, and I smiled slightly.

"It's a good morning to be up." I replied quietly, looking out of the large windows across the school grounds where the sun was rising over the horizon. She grinned at me again before popping a forkful of her maple syrup coated pancakes into her mouth, chewing for a minute before swallowing.

"I'm Ghislaine, but call me that and I'll kill you. I much prefer Elaine." I raised an eyebrow as she glared at me warningly before sticking my hand out for her to shake, which she did cautiously.

"I'm Leonides, call me that and well...it won't be pretty. Leo is much better, in my opinion." I released her hand with a small smile before taking a sip from my goblet of pumpkin juice in front of me. She smirked, shaking her head lightly.

"What kind of person names their kid Leonides?" She asked quietly, she obviously thought I couldn't hear her.

"The same kind of person who names their child Ghislaine." I muttered, a small smile hanging mockingly on my lips as her head snapped around, staring at me.

"How-?" Elaine was cut off as Lily sat down on my other side, grabbing a piece of toast from the overflowing platter in front of her.

"Morning." She grumbled, dark circles starting to form under her bright citrus green eyes.

"Morning dear, sleep well?" I teased, shaking my head as if ashamed after she stuck out her tongue out at me. "Oh come on Lillian, don't be so childish." I chastised quietly before she hot me a look that clearly said she was not in the mood for games.

"Yeah Evans, don't be childish." James Potter teased as he sat opposite us, piling food onto his plate. "Besides, shouldn't you be hanging out with your reptile friend?" He added, pointing to Severus as he entered the hall.

"Excuse me Leo, but I think I'm going to move away from this moron." I grinned as the smirk dropped from Potter's face, and Sirius sat down next to him, looking severely tired, almost as tired as Lily had.

"How are you so awake looking anyway? We both went to sleep at the same time!" Lily exclaimed angrily at me and I smiled innocently before examining my fingernails.

"I guess it's just another of my natural talents Lils." I told her proudly and I could hear Elaine trying to restrain her laughter. Lily smiled slightly, the anger starting to disappear from her face before Potter flung a piece of bacon at her. She turned to glare at him before storming off in a huff.

"What's her problem?" James asked, as if totally innocent, and I rolled my eyes.

"You're her problem you nitwit." I growled under my breath, not taking my eyes away from the page in front of me until the book was yanked out of my hands.

"Whatcha readin'?" Sirius asked as he tried to examine the book, even though it was now upside down.

"The book we need for our Defense Against the Dark Arts class, now give it back." He pulled it back as I reached for it so I moved to sit down again, and when he relaxed I grabbed it from his hands.

"Sirius, don't steal other peoples books." Remus said as he sat down in the seat Lily had occupied before she left, filling his plate with all different types of food.

"Of course you'd say that, you spent half the night with your nose stuck in a dusty old book." These boys, who have only known each other since they met on the train, are acting like they've been best friends for years, and I haven't even managed to keep Lily company! I stood, drawing the attention of those surrounding me.

"Where are you going?" James asked, staring at me curiously.

"To go make sure Lily's alright." I raised an eyebrow at him accusingly before snapping the book in my hand shut and starting towards were Lily sat further down the table. Only a few steps later, I realised that Elaine was following me silently, and I smiled. At least she won't be polluted by their immaturity now.

"Hey Li-li, ignore him. Just because he's got rocks for brains doesn't give him the right to act like that." I told her as I sat down next to her, and she lifted her head with angry eyes before smiling at me gently.

"I know, it's just...he's so...aggravating!" She ground out, glaring at the food on her plate as she stabbed it with her fork. Fifty buck bet they end up dating. I thought before shaking my head slightly. Stupid muggle references taking over my head! I shared a look with Elaine and I could tell that she was thinking exactly the same thing.

"I know, but just forget about him for now. Perhaps after breakfast we can visit Severus?" This thought brightened her a little, and she nodded before glancing at Elaine.

"I'm Lily, who the hell are you?" Elaine grinned at her before sitting down on my other side.

"I'm Elaine. " She replied, pouring herself a goblet of pumpkin juice. "And I hope we're going to get along, apparently your right hook is rather impressive."

(A/N): Elaine's name is pronounce giz-lane. not jizz-lane or anything like that, giz-lane. Please review or check out my other stories!
