(A/N): Hey Guys! So, first day back at school today, and I wrote the next six chapters of this story while I was there. I hope you enjoy the chapters ahead!

Discalimer: I own nothing you recognise.

Leo

I rejoined my group of friends at around noon, and became subjected to torturous inquiry.

"Oh my god..." Elaine murmured as I approached them where they sat outside of Zonko's joke shop. Only Elaine and Remus were outside, the other boys still in the store, and I knew that Lily was in Gladrags across the street.

"What the hell happened?" Remus asked darkly, not seeming at all surprised.

"I got hit." I told them dryly, and Elaine cupped my face in her hands, and I forced myself not to wince as she ran a finger over the bruise on my cheek.

"It..." Remus began, scrutinising the wound. "It looks old." I shrugged rolling my eyes.

"Vampire healing powers, remember?" Elaine frowned, staring at the ground for a second.

"Wait, you mean it was worse than this?" I shrugged again, and she scowled.

"What the hell did you get hit by, a bear?" Remus exclaimed, and I grinned, shaking my head.

"Close. It was a vampire." Their eyes widened and they glanced at each other before back to me.

"Why? What did it want?" Elaine questioned, and I shook my head.

"I can't tell you that." Within a second, their expressions darkened.

"Leo, you secretive-!" The door behind us opened, and the boys tumbled out, laughing hard before they caught sight of Remus and Elaine's expressions, and the bruise on my cheek.

"Er..." James was the first to snap out of his daze, and pushed the other boys in front of him. "Come on, let's go to the Three Broomsticks. I'm buying!" James shot me a look before shuffling off after the boys, leaving me alone with my two best friends once more.

"Leo..." Remus said tightly, and I could tell he was angry.

"Leonides!" I winced at the use of my full name, but more so at the voice behind it. I turned slowly, and a single word fell from my moth as I recognised their face.

"Mother..."

(A/N): So, what did you think?

I know you must be getting pretty sick of plot twists, and Leo's mum showing up...

Please review and/or check out my other stories!

This chapter has had minor edits made to it on 30/12/22 - Changed 'mom' to 'mother', because not only would it be 'mum', because they're british, but Leo wouldn't call her that, he'd use mother.
