(A/N): Hey Guys! Here's the next chapter, I'm starting to run out of fairytale names for these things.
Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognise.
Leo
After almost three more hours of mingling with some of the most notable pureblood families, Sirius sparing glances at me every few seconds, we left the gala, riding back to the house, all four of us jammed into the carriage.
Once inside, my mother handed me a vial of what appeared to be water.
"This will hurt, but it'll work." I hesitated for a second, and slipped it into my pocket. "I'll be in touch the next time I need you, Leonides." She paused for a second, her expression slipping into a scowl. "Now get out my house you filthy half-breed."
With that, I left, choosing to walk all the way back to the Ellwood estate, which took four hours, but I wasn't about to complain. I didn't get tired, I was just happy for the time on my own.
The dress robes chafed a little, but I barely noticed.
A few miles out from the house, I barely had time to recognise the sound of footsteps before I was in my fathers arms.
"Leo! Are you hurt?" He asked, pulling back, cupping my face as he tried to see if I was injured.
"I'm fine! I'm... fine." Shari pushed my father out of the way, wrapping me in her arms.
"Did you get it? Did you get the antidote?" I nodded, patting my pocket where the antidote was.
"What is it?" Lisbet questioned, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"My guess? Holy water." Their eyebrows shot up.
"You can't take that! It's completely pure, it's extremely toxic to vampires!" I pursed my lips.
"She needs me. She's not going to kill me now, I'm too valuable to her." With that, I pulled the vial from my pocket, removed the stopper, and tipped the contents down my throat.
"Well... How do you feel?" I opened my mouth to reply, and fell to my knees.
"Ah! Ah!" I groaned, grabbing fistfuls of grass in my hands.
"Leo!" I pushed Shari back as she reached for me.
"Ah! I'm- Ah! I'm fine." I told her, pushing myself upright as my vision swam.
"You are not!" My father exclaimed, gripping my shoulder tightly.
"It's- ah! I think it's counteracting the- ah! The toxins from before." I doubled over, retching.
"Oh god..." Shari murmured as I threw up, and was there was blood.
"Leo!" My father cried, his eyes wide and frantic, but Lisbet rolled her eyes.
"Relax you two, it's not his." I spat, sniffing lightly as I drew back.
"Do you feel any better?" Shari asked, and I nodded slowly.
"A little." My father kept his eyes trained on me.
"Enough to eat?" I shook my head violently.
"God no." The three vampires helped me back to the house, and into bed.
"Go to sleep." I protested, trying to get up, but my father just pushed me down again.
"Go to sleep Leo." Shari told me, and knowing I had no other choice, I did so.
(A/N): So, what did you think?

This chapter has had minor edits made to it on 5/2/23 - Because Leo said the suit chafed, but I changed the last few chapters to say dress robes, because Cipicia would never have put him in a muggle suit.
