(A/N): Hey Guys! So, this chapter was originally supposed to be longer, but I'm very busy, and I've been keeping you waiting too long. Plus, I just finished watching the first episode of Fullmetal Alchemist, and I really want to watch more without feeling guilty.

Now, the entire basis of this chapter was a pondering: When was the 'no first year is allowed to bring a broom to Hogwarts' rule initiated?

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

Leo

The next morning, I woke Remus up at five a.m in order to avoid James, Sirius, Peter and Lily. See, when Sirius asked if we were gone last night, we were. But they didn't know I could still hear them...So, I knew they were going to the Room of Requirement, and I also knew that I had left the books on the table like the idiot I am. I also felt James, Sirius and Peter staring at us as they entered the dorm room last night, whispering to each other when they thought we were sleeping. Well, Remus was sleeping, but I obviously wasn't. In fact, I didn't sleep at all last night. So, when five came, I climbed out of bed quickly but silently, and shook Remus awake.

"What-?" I covered his mouth with my hand before making the international sign for 'shut up, you big idiot'. He nodded slowly, confused, and I took my hand away.

"The others went to the Room of Requirement after we went to bed, they know about the research." I whispered at a pitch so that even Remus would have trouble hearing me, even with the full moon only being a few days away, his senses heightened because of this.

"We should find Elaine and avoid them." I raised an eyebrow before grinning at him.

"I have taught you well!" I whispered before pulling him out of bed single-handedly before going to get changed from my pyjamas.

Not ten minutes, we were standing in front of the girls stair case, staring at it like it was a particularly difficult transfiguration quiz.

"How are we going to get up there?" Remus asked quietly, though not as quiet as we had been being, seeing as no one else was awake yet. I glanced at him, grinning, and he looked a little worried. "What?" He asked, sounding vaguely suspicious.

"How comfortable are you with flying?"

Turns out, Remus wasn't comfortable with flying at all. So, I had to run back into the dorm room silently – which only took a second for me- get my broom, and run back down to the common room where Remus was waiting for me.

"That was fast." He said, sounding slightly shocked, and I rolled my eyes.

"Vampire speed mate, best thing about this." I pushed open one of the windows on the east wall, and mounted my broom.

"Be back in a few minutes...hopefully." He raised an eyebrow, now looking very worried. I kicked off and carefully manoeuvred myself and the broom out the window. I flew around to the girls side of the tower, and found myself with yet another problem.

Which window was the first year girls?

With no other clear solution to this, I simply knocked on the first window I came across. Which, fortunately or unfortunately, to this day I can't decide, wasn't the first year girls. Though, it was the second year girls, which wasn't too far off.

A few seconds later, the window was pushed open by a pretty girl with long black hair and pale green eyes.

"Um...hi?" She asked, a confused smile on her lips, her eyebrows raised slightly.

"Sorry, wrong dorm. Do you know where the first year girls' dorm is?" I asked, trying to sound confident and nonchalant, even though I was embarrassed as hell.

"Uh...yeah. One window down, actually." I saluted, a small smile on my lips before starting to lean my broom down. "What are you, going on a early morning date or something?" She asked, staring at me, only now just realising that it was still dark out.

"No, got to pick up a friend so we can avoid some other friends." She raised an eyebrow again, and I shook my head. "You really don't want to know." She nodded in agreement, and I waved goodbye, before spiraling down to the next window, and knocking lightly, knowing that Lily was in this room.

A few seconds later the window opened, and revealed Alice Fortescue, a girl I knew to be in our year- and in Lily and Elaine's dorm.

"Leo?" She asked quietly, rubbing her eyes, and I smiled slightly.

"Yep. Don't supposed you could fetch Damsel for me?" She stared at me for a minute, confused, before I rolled my eyes. "Elaine. Can you get Elaine?" She made a sound of understanding before disappearing again, and a few seconds later, a tired looking Elaine arrived at the window.

"What the hell are you doing here?" She whispered furiously, and I raised an eyebrow.

"Just go get dressed." She stared at me for a minute before turning and closing the window.

Was that a yes, or a no?

A minute or two later, the window opened again, and she no longer wore pyjamas.

"Okay, I'll be right down." I shook my head and grabbed her hand.

"Come one, this is quicker." She stared at me, looking slightly scared, and I rolled my eyes. "I won't let you fall." I whispered, barely loud enough for her to hear, but she swallowed nervously before nodding, and climbing onto the window sill. She glanced at me, and I rolled my eyes before moving the broom closer to the wall.

She slung a leg over the broom gingerly and slid off the sill, her hands clenching my waist in fright as she dropped onto the broom slightly, and I smiled slightly before reaching out and pulling the window closed silently.

"Hold on tight." I whispered, and she punched me in the arm lightly before squeaking quietly as I angled the broom downwards again, her hands finding my waist and tangling them in the jumper I wore. I guided the broom, plus us, through the window I had exited, and Remus stared at us for a second, seemingly amused.

"Morning, Damsel." She scowled at the use of her nickname.

"I, am not, a damsel!" She whisper shouted, and he grinned at her smugly.

"The look on your face when you flew in here says differently." I felt her blush before I touched the broom down, and slid off.

"So what did we do to deserve this early morning wake-up?" Elaine asked, and I frowned sheepishly.

"The others know. They snuck into the Room of Requirement after we went to bed, and the books were left on the table." The smiled dropped from her face, and she glanced at me.

"We are so screwed. I vote we avoid the crap out of them!" Remus and I stared at her for a second.

"That's what we said." We chorused, and she grinned.

"Though we said it slightly less colorfully." I added, and she scowled at me again.

"You know what else is less colorful than Elaine's language? Leo's waist when she doesn't remove her grip." Remus teased, and we both glanced down at where her hands still gripped my waist, so tightly that her knuckles had turned white from the strain. She quickly released me, blushing furiously.

"Sorry." She muttered, to which I shrugged.

"Okay, so, if I know Lily...which I do, we have less than an hour before they wake up. They'll want to interrogate us as early as possible, without an escape route. Too bad we're already gone." I grinned, and Elaine and Remus looked amused. That is, before I heard footsteps close by.

"Get down!" I whispered, pushing Elaine and Remus behind the couch, mere seconds before the portrait hole swung open to reveal Professor McGonagall. She seemed surprised to see me, standing in the middle of the common room with my broom in my hands.

"Leo, my office, now!" She commanded.

And that's why, to this day, there is a rule to say that no first year student is to bring their own broom to school.

Edit from 20/02/23 - I think it's funny that I wrote part of the end Author's Note in Spanish, considering that there's quite a bit of Spanish later on in the story.
