(A/N): New chapter, I feel like shit, so I'm probably going to just wallow for the rest of the night. I hope you like this chapter.
Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognise.
Leo
I froze.
Elaine likes me!
She admitted it, she actually does like me. I let myself rejoice for a second. But... so does Brooke.
I focused on Brooke again, and she was smirking at me.
"You heard her too, huh?" I flushed, and she shook her head.
"Leo..." I shook my head again, giving her a stern look, but she waved me off.
"Leo, you and Elaine are-" Hands seized my arms.
"Destined to be together?" James asked from my left side.
"Perfect for each other?" Sirius suggested, both of them glaring at Brooke.
"Pretty much." She said, grinning and I gave her a dark look. "Alright, alright Mr. Grumpy Pants." She said, sticking her tongue out at me.
"A visit from the head hag gives me reason to be grumpy." Brooke looked confused.
"Who?" I shrugged.
"My mother showed up earlier." Brooke's mouth fell open.
"That bitch was here? In Hogsmeade?" The boys seemed surprised.
"Wait a minute, you know about Leo's mom?" Sirius asked, and Brooke scowled.
"Know about? I've met Cipicia... and I'd rather not be reunited with her." I glanced back at the table where Elaine was still sitting, and I remembered the horror I had felt when Elaine had been at the end of my mother's wand.
"Neither would I. But apparently, I don't have a choice in the matter." Brooke frowned, placing a hand on my shoulder.
"Leo..." I shrugged her off, shooting her an apologetic look.
"No matter how hard I try to avoid her, she always finds me. Before this summer, I hadn't seen her, for almost three years. I thought I was safe, but I'm not... and neither are you guys." They stared at me. "Elaine showed that she cared about me, and my mother was going to kill her, or worse, torture her, knowing that I cared about her as well. She's a cold-blooded killer, she doesn't care about anything but herself."
"Leo..." James whispered, and I could hear the fear in his voice.
"She will kill you just to hurt me, and she'll enjoy every second of it. It's just what she does."
(A/N): So, what did you think?
