(A/N): Hey Guys! So, this is one of the last chapter's of third year. It's pretty short, and fairly pointless to be honest.
Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognise.
Leo
With the rest of the night passing without any particular excitement, it was soon enough time for school to resume at the end of the Christmas break.
Lily and I headed down to Hogsmeade train station in the afternoon, preparing to wait for the Hogwarts Express to return, and to welcome back our fellow students.
Or, well, two students in particular.
Just as the Hogwarts express came into sight, the others sat down beside us on the concrete of the train station platform, not saying so much as a single word.
Eventually, Lily straightened up.
"I think I hear it!" I rolled my eyes, and Elaine smothered her laughter, Remus, Sirius and James smiling, but not quite as entertained by my heightened as hearing as she was.
About a minute later, the train slowed to a gradual stop in front of us.
People started filing out, politely avoiding us, until a smile burst across Lily's face.
"Sev!" She yelled, shoving her way through the crowd until she was at his side, throwing her arms around his neck.
I continued to scan the crowd, moving along the train, tracking her progress in my head by the image of the blood in her veins.
"Leo!" Mia exclaimed as she reached the exit door of the train, and I embraced her, spinning in a circle and taking a step to return her to the ground out of the way of the other students.
"Mia. How was Christmas?" She winced, rubbing her arm through the long sleeve's of her olive green shirt.
"It was... good, considering." She wasn't lying, I was sure of that, but I also knew that good, for us, wasn't all that good in the eyes of other people.
"How bad was it?" She hesitated for a second, before pulling up her sleeve a little way, revealing a yellowing bruise on her forearm.
"It wasn't that bad Leo, honestly." I glared at the ground, arms crossed tight, jaw clenched roughly. "You've been through worse." I turned my gaze to her, softening it enough to let her see the pain there.
"I'm not quite so fragile as you, Mia. I want to protect you, even if it is against our own mother." She paused for a second, before nodding slowly.
"Alright Leo... but just promise me that you'll be careful." I shot her a grin.
"Totally." I told her, middle finger crossed over index behind my back.
"I love you, big brother." I ruffled her hair with my hand.
"I love you more, little sister."
(A/N): So, what did you think?
Leo is such a little liar...
