"Wait, wait. So, what you're telling me, is that Leo," Sirius paused for a second, eyes widened. "Our friend Leo... Is a vampire?" Elaine and I shared a weak look.

"Pretty much." Elaine replied, and his gaze fell as he mulled this new information over.

"Exactly." I added, and Sirius locked eyes with me.

"So... that's how Leo knew you were a werewolf?" I shrugged.

"I guess so." Sirius nodded, still looking dumbstruck.

"I-" Elaine was cut off as a man entered the Hog's Head, and McGonagall jumped up.

"Greygorry!" The man remained expressionless. "Leo has run off, and I was wondering-" Greygorry rolled his eyes.

"You were wondering if I can catch him and bring him back." McGonagall nodded, and Greygorry.

"This is going to take a while." McGonagall raised an eyebrow. "Leonides may be cocky, but he's fast, I'll give him that. And if he doesn't want to return, I won't be able to force him." McGonagall scoffed.

"He's a half-vampire, you're a full-" Greygorry cut her off.

"Half-vampire, part veela. In about a year, he'll be stronger than the average vampire. As it is, he gave me a run for my money." He pulled up his shirt, revealing a set of bruises across the ribs. "Don't underestimate that boy, Minerva.

As Greygorry reached the door, Professor McGonagall seemed to remember something.

"Oh and Greygorry?" He turned his head to look at her. "If you see Cipicia out there..." She smiled slightly. "Bring her to me." She said, a murderous quality to her tone.

Elaine and I slowly turned back to Sirius after Greygorry left without a word.

"Who was that?" Was Sirius's first question, and we shrugged.

"No clue." Sirius was silent for a minute.

"Wait a minute, that crazy blonde bitty was Leo's mom?!" Elaine and I glanced at each other before nodding.

"And he's a half-vampire, part veela." Elaine pointed out, but Sirius waved her off.

"That doesn't matter. She hit him with the cruciatus curse Laney! What the hell is going on?" Elaine gaped at him for a minute before crossing her arms over her chest.

"From what we can figure out, Leo's mom didn't know he was a vampire for years, and that's why she kicked him out when he was seven. She, and his stepfather, abused him, tortured him pretty much, and that's why Leo's so down on himself." She paused for a second, gathering herself. "He thinks he's a monster."

This chapter has had minor edits made to it on 30/12/22 - Changed McGonagall telling Greygorry to kill Cipicia if he sees her, to her telling Greygorry to bring Cipicia to her if he sees her- with the implication that McGonagall would kill like to kill her instead.
