(A/N): Hey Guys! So, this is pretty much a short filler chapter, but eh. I had a day off today, because I feel like crap, and tomorrow I have another day off until two p.m where I had to go have a meeting with the school councillor or whatever for my subject selections. Yeah, not looking forward to that.

By the way guys, thanks for all the reviews you've been sending me lately!

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, Nicholai and Quiggly.

Leo

It had been a month and a half since we had started our first year at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and I think Lily was getting more suspicious day by day as Elaine, Remus and I spent more time together, out of the public eye in the Room of Requirement, researching Animagi. We had hit a break through today though. We had finally found out, after over a month of research, that half-vampires like me could become Animagi. One example of this was Vladimir Dracula, or Vlad the Impaler, who was one of the most famous vampires in existence, was also an early animagus, being able to turn into a bat. God, I hope I don't turn into a bat! Or a lion for that matter.

"So...what do you think my animal form will be?" Elaine asked quietly, glancing up from the book she was reading, looking slightly nervous.

"A kitty?" I suggested wryly, and she smiled slightly before punching me in the shoulder.

"How about a snake?" Remus asked, and Elaine shook her head furiously, cringing.

"Eugh, no, just...no." I grinned at her reaction, now I had blackmail. Elaine crosses me, I get her a pet snake.

"What about a wolverine?" She thought about it for a second, one eyebrow raised.

"Why?" I shrugged before thinking it over.

"Well...wolverine's are supposed to be tough, but at first glance, because of their size, they don't really look that threatening, just like you." Her eyebrows furrowed together, and she glared at me lightly.

"I don't know whether to be flattered or insulted." I could see Remus shaking his head from across the table, laughing silently, and smiled myself.

"Well, I meant it as the truth, so you can take it whichever way you want to." She paused for a second before smiling uncertainly.

"Thanks, I guess..." I grinned at her before tapping her on the shoulder with my knuckles lightly.

"Or hey, maybe you're a horse!" She grinned, a small, bell-like peal of laughter bubbling from between her lips as she smacked me on the arm twice.

"I think I'd take your kitty suggestion over a horse." I grabbed her hands, pushing them away slightly to get her to stop slapping me. Seriously, I was going to bruise. I was very fragile, you know.

"Perhaps a scorpion?" Remus suggested, and we stopped for a second, staring at each other before slowly turning to face him.

"What's with you and creepy animals?" Elaine asked, and I smothered a chuckle.

"Or is it like your obsession with words that end with 'oy'?" I added, and he rolled his eyes at us both.

"Yeah, I'll go ahead and ignore that, just like I'm ignoring the fact that you two are currently holding hands." We both glanced down at our hands, which were, as he said, still intertwined, and instantly dropped them looking sheepish.

"Yeah, I thought so." Remus remarked, and I glared at him from across the table, to which he had the gall to smile. "You know Leo, you aren't as scary as you try to make out." Elaine raised her eyebrows and turned to look at me.

"Are you just going to sit there and take that? Kick his arse." She joked, and I rolled my eyes at her, letting an amused smile spread.

"Trust me, wolf-boy, I could make your life a living hell if I wanted to." Remus raised his eyebrows, and Elaine made a 'oh no you didn't' face at him.

"Is that a threat?" I smirked at him.

"No Moony, that's a promise."

(A/N): Okay, does anyone here watch Mrs Brown's Boys? 'Cos I do, and I said, and read, Leo's last line there in the irish accent of one Buster Brady from the show. Anyone else?

P.S: If you have any input on what Elaine or Leo's animagus forms should be, please, tell me.
