(A/N): Hey Guys! I LIED! I said that the last one would be the last chapter I wrote tonight, but it was 10:20 p.m when I finished this, but I won't get to upload it until at least tomorrow, because I can't write another chapter until tomorrow, and I've started my program again.

More ELEO!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but Leo, Elaine, Shari (I always misspell her name as Shair here), Nicholai (and his as Nicholair), and Mia.


Leo

I have a crush on Elaine. A massive one. Like, huge. When I made my way to my room, after watching her enter the spare one she shared with Lily, I found Remus there, waiting for me.

"So, how was flight practice?" Remus asked, trying to sound inconspicuous, but I knew he and Lily had teamed up, seeing as I could hear her, currently interrogating Elaine.

"Screw you." I muttered, dropping onto my bed, arms crossed over my chest as I stared at him.

"Ooh, feisty." He remarked dryly, rolling his eyes. "So? What happened?" I scratched the back of my head, recalling exactly what had happened.

"Why do you want to know? Better yet, why does Lily want to know?" He opened his mouth to reply to the first one before snapping it shut again at the second.

"So, you could hear her asking Elaine then?" I nodded in confirmation, and he shook his head.

"We probably should have anticipated that." I chuckled lightly, grinning at him.

"So, now that you know, why did you ask? Why are you in my room, Moony?" He winced before raising an eyebrow.

"It's obvious that you and Elaine like each other, and Lily wants gossip. Plus, everyone who's ever met you guys wants you together." I rolled my eyes externally, while internally, I freaked out.

Like each other? She likes me too? Was he lying? Is he sure? That can't be right, she wouldn't like me! I'm a monster, and she knows it! He must be wrong. He must be.

"Lily always wants gossip." I managed to get out smoothly, before continuing on to the next topic. "And we don't like each other." Well, she doesn't like me. "Who the hell wants us together? That's just random, and very creepy." Remus shook his head, glancing at the ceiling before burying his face in his hand.

"You're totally oblivious, aren't you?" I lowered my eyebrows, looking puzzled.

"How can I be oblivious, when there's nothing going on?" I emphasised, and Remus shook his head again before standing up.

"Whatever. Just, remember this, okay? Elaine likes you, and deep down, you like her too, we all know it. So, just...I don't know...kiss her? I'm not good with this stuff." He admitted, rubbing the back of his neck as if embarrassed. "And remember, if you hurt her, you hurt yourself." He said, before closing the door behind him, and I heard him walking back to the room he shared with Peter.

"What the hell does that mean?" Does she really like me? I don't want to hurt her, and I won't, ever.

The next morning, I woke up earlier than all the others, and dressed myself in a pair of faded jeans and a worn, pale green t-shirt.

I made breakfast for the whole house, wolfed my down, and made my way outside, where my father and Shari were waiting for me.

"Ready for training?" Shari asked, and I nodded, remaining silent.

"Today, we will be attempting agility, and sneaking." My father told me, and I noticed, for the first time, the obstacles strewn around the yard. A couple of dozen logs stood on their ends, about five feet apart and in a zig-zagging pattern, two verticals poles, also around five feet apart, a rockwall (don't ask me where they got, it was probably magically constructed!), a rope swing, and a whole array of other obstacles that I would need to overcome.

"Okay, that's a little overkill." I said quietly, and Shari smirked at me.

"Oh Leo, you can handle can't you? After all, you think yourself invincible. I glared at her before staring the course down.

"Take on the obstacle course in the way you see fit." Was all the help my father offered me, and I stared at the course again before he said go.

I took off quickly, but not too quickly, staying lightly on my feet. I never put my full weight into anything, and eventually, I had managed to conquer all the obstacles.

"Okay, one last time, all together now." I took off through the course again, pouncing from stump to stump, swinging myself around one vertical pole before grabbing the next and doing the same, scaling the rockwall and flinging myself over it, rolling under the mess of barb-wire (I still had a cut on my cheek from where I had stuffed that up the first time), and wrapping the rope around my hand before swinging across the low mud-pit onto safe ground. Just as I finished the rest of the course, someone clapped.

I spun around quickly, to see Elaine standing off to the side, wrapped in a blanket, munching on a piece of toast that I had obviously made.

"Leo, trainings finished." Shari told me, glancing at Elaine warily before returning into the house, leaving my father to cleaning up the rather great mess of the obstacle course.

"Well done." I nodded in acknowledgement as I sat on the ground behind her, frowning as I saw the mud encrusted on the bottom of my pant-leg. "So, that's the training you were talking about?" She asked, and I nodded again.

Did she really like me?

She removed an arm from her blanket cocoon, grabbing my arm and dragging me to the bench that sat against the wall of the house, pushing me down gently before sitting beside me, and draping the blanket over the both of us.

She curled into my side, absorbing the warmth, and I chuckled slightly.

"Don't do that." She stared up at me, looking vaguely worried. "I smell." I explained, and she giggled slightly before sniffing me lightly.

"No you don't." She rested her head on my shoulder again.

Did that mean she liked me?

...

Nah, Lily did that all the time!

Does Lily like me?

No! No, Lily doesn't like me! No one liked me.

Especially Lily.

I rested my head on top of hers lightly, and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulling her closer to my side.

"What are you training for?" She asked, and my eyebrows wrinkled. How to answer?

"It doesn't matter. We're just...training." I said simply. I hated having to lie to her, but this wasn't a lie really it was just withholding the truth. I've been told, however, that that's just as bad as lying.

Good one Leo, vow one night not to hurt her, next morning, lie to her face!

"Okay." She said believingly, and it honestly sounded like she didn't care if I answered her or not. She had just needed to ask.

"I like this." I said, and I could practically feel her confusion. "You're warm." I added, and she giggled quietly.

"So are you."
