(A/N): Hey Guys! So, remember how I said this was a Remus PoV chapter? Well, it's Leo to start with, and then Remus later on. I know Leo may seem like a bit of an ass, but he really is a nice guy, he just knows it's dangerous for people to be around him, and he doesn't want his friends close enough to get hurt, so he tries to push them away by making them hate him. So, I haven't written the next chapter, because I have no clue what's going to happen, seriously, I'm making this whole thing up as I go along! Also, school starts up again tomorrow morning, so I'll be even more busy. I got a haircut the other day, and it's super cute, but annoying, because my sister keeps running her fingers through it, rather roughly, and it hurts. That wasn't very relevant, but still. Also, I got my sister to start watching Avatar: the Last Airbender with me! Yays!

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, Quiggly and Nicholai.

Leo

I don't know how he found me, and I don't know how he managed to sneak up on me, but the only thing I can think of is that James Potter is a ninja.

I mean, seriously, I was sitting in a deserted corridor on the other side of the school, and he somehow just popped up, right next to me. Gave me quite the fright, I'll tell you that.

"Merlin's pants James! You scared the shit out of me!" I yelped, jumping up as I noticed him on the step next to me. "How did you find me?" I asked quietly, composing myself, curious now.

"It wasn't that hard actually. You're sitting pretty close to the Great Hall." He shrugged, to which I swivelled my head to look around. Huh, I had wondered why it looked so familiar. I guess it's time to start driving my dorm mates away too.

"Oh, and here I was thinking I was in a secluded part of the castle, away from annoying pricks like you." I stood up again, and he stared up at me, eyebrows raised, looking both confused and hurt.

"Woah, woah, woah, what the hell brought this on?" I flinched and stuttered for a second before turning on my heel and high-tailing it out of there.

"Leo!" James called after me, and it suddenly occurred to me how often people had been doing that lately. "Ellwood!" I froze in place before turning around to face him.

"How did you find out-?" I realised for a second, and stood there, stunned, before shaking my head.

"You asked Elaine, didn't you?" He stared at me for a second before nodding once.

"Yeah, I did. You only said we couldn't ask Lily, you never said anything about Elaine." I glared at the ceiling before shaking my head in frustration.

"I guess I have no choice but tell you the truth." He waited eagerly, so I told him. "The reason I Know all this stuff is because I'm a half-vampire, Dumbledore only let me into the school if I agreed to abide by a certain list of rules. The reason he told me the secret of Hogwarts is so I can avoid people if I'm...thirsty." I stared at him, awaiting a response, and he stared back. Then, he burst out laughing.

"Dude, you're hilarious! Though, it would explain a lot." He raised an eyebrow before shrugging. "Half-vampire. Yeah, and I'm half-thestral! When you're ready to give a real answer, you know where to find me." He stood up and walked away, and I stared after him, perplexed but also glad. I had actually told someone the truth about my condition, and he had laughed it off. He didn't believe me, but since I had told him...I didn't need to give him another answer! Which means, he can't badger me about it again, which is pretty much the best thing I've ever heard.

What I need, is a way to drive them all away. A way to ensure that they'll all live to see the birth of their children, a way to make sure that no one will get close enough to me for them to get hurt.

Or for me to get hurt.

Remus

I was sitting in the dorm room with the other boys, except for James and Leo. Sirius was sitting on the bed across from Peter's, trying to teach him how to play poker, Peter was attempting to listen, and I was sitting on my bed reading one of the many interesting books i had found in the school Library when James flung the door open and flopped onto his bed.

"Lily still angry at you?" I asked him softly from over my book, and he looked up at me.

"Yeah. Maybe I shouldn't have tripped him in front of her." I raised an eyebrow at him while Sirius rolled his eyes.

"Oh please, he totally deserved it. He was insulting you, what were you supposed to do?" James seemed to be considering it, so I snapped my book shut to join the conversation.

"If you want Lily to like you back, you need to stop harassing her friends." I told him, and he stared at me blankly.

"I only insulted Snivelly, not Leo. Speaking of which," He said, before I could fit in another word edge-wise. "I couldn't tell you earlier because of classes, but I talked to him earlier." Sirius and I nodded understandingly, before saying in unison,

"We figured that's why you asked about his last name." James gaze darted between us before nodding.

"Yeah, but it was so strange. I mean, I was talking to him, not saying anything rude, and he just snapped and started insulting me. And then, when I said his last name, he 'told me the truth'." I raised an eyebrow, and Sirius looked perplexed, making a face.

"What's with the emphasis on that? Something you're not telling us?" James rolled his eyes before filling us in.

"Well, what he said was, 'The reason Dumbledore told me all this stuff, all the secrets of Hogwarts, is because I'm half-vampire, and I had to agree to a certain set of rules in order to be allowed here. I need to know the secret passages and such in case I need to evade people when I'm thirsty.' Seriously though, what kind of cock and bull story is that?" Sirius let a bark like laugh, but I stared at the floor for a minute, thinking hard. Leo...a half-vampire? Well...that would explain a lot. Especially the smell. Oh god, the smell! It kind of smells good, it kind of smells bad...it's just a really strange, overpowering smell.

"And I said, if you're half-vampire, then I'm half-thestral!" James exclaimed, and Sirius laughed so hard he almost fell off the bed he was sitting on, but I was still deep in thought. I guess James is part thestral then. Okay, back to Leo's smell. I'm guessing, to normal humans, whether muggles or witches and wizards, they'd only have the good side of the smell, but seeing as I'm a Werewolf, I can also smell the bad. I'd say it's supposed to be a tool to draw people to them, to make them let their guard down. I mean, what else could it possibly be used for? ...Don't answer that Sirius, I really don't want to know. Really, I don't.
