(A/N): Hey guys! So, here's the next chapter.
Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognise.
Elaine
"Elaine! Tell us!" Oddly enough, that wasn't Lily, it was Remus.
"It wasn't anything!" I exclaimed exasperatedly. "It was an accident; I fell on him, our lips touched. Nothing major!" Lily frowned, her forehead wrinkling.
"Did you pull away straight after?" Lily asked, and I hesitated.
"No." Remus beamed.
"Did Leo?" I shook my head. "See? He likes you!" I scoffed.
"Elaine, Leo may never make the first move. You've said it yourself, he doesn't have any self esteem. But he does like you, he really, really does." Lily said, placing her hand on mine.
"Yeah, he even admitted it." Lily and I spun to gape at Remus, and Lily smacked him on the arm.
"What the hell?! Why didn't you tell us?" Remus winced, shrugging weakly.
"He's my best friend Lily and... oh my god." His eyes widened. "I just told my best friend's crush that he liked them." Lily and I giggled as he fretted.
A chair pulled out, and I looked up to see Leo.
"Leo! What- what are you doing back here?" Remus stammered, and Leo stared at him weirdly.
"Yeah, shouldn't you be with your girlfriend?" Lily asked, somewhat bitterly, and I sagged slightly, remembering Brooke.
"She's not my girlfriend." All three of us raised an eyebrow, no matter how nervous Remus might have been.
"Oh?" I asked, trying to seem nonchalant, and he shrugged.
"She's just a girl who's a friend." Remus rolled his eyes.
"A female friend who has openly admitted to thinking you're cute." He pointed out, and Leo flushed slightly.
"Yeah, but so has most of the Hogwarts population." Lily piped up, and Leo shot her a dark look.
"Wrongly so. But still, Brooke and I are nothing but friends." He fixed us with a stern look, which was completely ruined as Brooke kissed him, straight on the mouth.
I gaped, staring at the two, before pushing my chair back, trying to get away from there as fast as possible.
Remus
Lily and I watched Elaine go, wanting to go after her, before turning around to glare at Brooke and Leo, who were just now parting.
"What was that for?" Brooke shrugged.
"I like ruining your points." She glanced in the direction Elaine had ran. "Now, are you going to go after her, or not?" Leo shook his head, so she glared at him, grabbing him by the shirt and pulling him part way out of his chair so that their faces were only inches apart. Again. "So help me, if you don't go after her right now, I will jinx you into next month." She growled in a voice deathly low, and Leo rolled his eyes, standing under his own power.
"Alright, alright. Just don't expect me to come back alive." Leo left at a quick pace in the same direction Elaine had done, and Brooke sat down.
"That boy is so bloody clueless."
(A/N): Also, can I just point out that, if it all goes to plan, Leo's mum is still alive in Harry's generation.
This chapter had had minor edits made to it on 30/12/22 - Changed Brooke saying she would smack Leo into next month to her saying she would jinx him into next month.
