(A/N): Hey Guys! So, this chapter may seem like a filler, but I need it to introduce the detention in the next chapter. I hope you like it, it's the third chapter I written today.
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.
Lily
I can't believe Leo is back! He's not avoiding me anymore, but he still won't tell me anything, it's so frustrating. Elaine won't tell me what they talked about that made him come back to me, and when I asked Remus if he knew anything, he just stuttered something about needing to talk to someone named 'Blue' before telling me anything. What the hell is going on, are they is some kind of secret sect or something?
Since I haven't seen Sev in almost two days, I decided to go and visit him after breakfast. Of course, this didn't end very well, because Potter and Black were assaulting him again. I'd had enough! Why did they need to pick on Sev, he wasn't doing anything wrong as far as I could tell. Then again, sometimes Sev could have a bit of a smart-mouth attitude, and could say things that offended people. Two people on one though? It just wasn't fair.
"Hey!" I called out, and the two boys stopped immediately, though Potter's fingers immediately jumped to his hair as he recognised the voice, causing me to roll my eyes in disgust. "Stop bullying Sev, what did he ever do to you?" Sirius backed up a step, and I knew I could be rather intimidating if mad, Leo had said so a few times.
"Well, he called my mother a wench!" I raised an eyebrow and looked at Sev.
"Did you?" I asked, and he shook his head, too quickly.
"No!" Potter's head snapped around and he growled, an actual growl, at Sev.
"Don't try to deny it! You said that my mother was a wench and my father was a moron!" Sev shook his head again, and I rolled my eyes before waving my wand, sending them all into silence.
"Look, Sev, don't insult people's parents, Potter, Black, don't attack Sev or I'll sic Leo on you." Remus, Potter, Black and Sev all raised their eyebrows in surprise.
"He apologised?" Remus asked and i nodded.
"Yeah, you didn't see me tackle him at breakfast?" I asked curiously, to which he shook his head.
"No, we arrived a left a little earlier than usual, seeing as we got there earlier. I knew Elaine talked to Leo, but I didn't know what about, I had to drag these idiots," He gestured to James and Sirius when he said idiots affectionately. "Out so they wouldn't eavesdrop on their conversation." I raised an eyebrow before shaking my head.
"Of course you did. Do you know why he started the fight?" Remus shrugged, looking uncomfortable, before starting to walk away, pulling Potter and Black with him. The anger bubbled inside me and I reached out grabbing Remus's arm.
"You tell me Lupin, or I swear to god I will, make your life a living hell." I growled, and all four boys watching on flinched, including Sev.
"Oh believe me Lily, I'm sure Leo could do worse if I told you." I stomped my foot in frustration and threw a punch, and that's when Professor McGonagall walked around the corner.
"Miss Evans, Mister Lupin, come with me." She glanced at the other boys before flicking her wand, at them to reverse the spell I had cast on them. I glanced at Remus both apologetically and angrily as he rubbed the side of his face from where my blow had connected with his skin.
We were silent all the way to McGonagall's office, and when we got there, she told us to take a seat.
"Now, would one of you please tell me what happened?" Remus and I glanced between each other before I spoke up.
"Well, I walked around the corner to find Sirius Black and James Potter assaulting Severus again, and I went to stick up for him. I asked Remus a question, he refused to answer it, I threatened him a little, he refused again, I got frustrated and hit him just as you walked around the corner." She raised an eyebrow before glancing at Remus who nodded.
"That's what happened Professor." She looked between us a few times before raising an eyebrow.
"What was this question about, or should I ask who this question was about?" Remus and I shared guilty looks.
"Well, it was about Leonides, mam. You know how Lily and he were fighting? Well, Lily asked me if I knew why he had started the fight, and I said I didn't know, and you know the rest." She looked slightly skeptical, but also rather amused.
"Do you believe he's lying Miss Evans?" She asked, staring me in the eye, and I reluctantly nodded.
"I do mam."
"And why do you think so?" She asked, causing me to glance at Remus before looking back to her.
"Because he's Leo's best male friend, they share a dorm and he seemed to know how Leo would react to the situation." Professor McGonagall nodded slowly before announcing her verdict.
"Miss Evans, detention tonight, six 'o clock, Mr Lupin you are free to go, but tell your friends Mr Potter and Mr Black that their detentions are also at six o' clock." I winced as I realised I would be sharing detention with them, but otherwise stayed quiet while Remus and I left her office.
"I'm sorry Remus, I thought you were lying." I admitted to him quietly, and he shrugged.
"That's because I was lying." He said, before speeding off down a different corridor. So, he does know why Leo started the fight. And...it's fairly safe to assume...that Elaine knows too.
Is Leo replacing me?
(A/N): Does anyone else sometimes feel like slapping Lily? I do.
