(A/N): Hey Guys! So, I love this chapter. You know how you guys say that they act like 16 year olds instead of twelve year olds? Well, you see a lot of that this chapter. I also wrote this tonight, which means that's three chapters in one day! Chapter fifty is a go!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but Leo, Elaine, Shari and Nicholai.


Leo

Remus and I opened the door to our dorm before staring around in both shock and amusement at the sight before us. James, Sirius and Peter were collapsed in the middle of the room on the now depleted pile of spare pillows, the missing pillows scattered around the room, and Lily curled up on my bed.

"Well, I guess I'm sleeping on the floor then." I said quietly, and I could tell Remus thought I was joking, but I wasn't. I pulled the covers over Lily as she shivered, and grabbed one of the spare sheets and spare pillow before curling myself around it on the ground beside my bed.

"What the hell are you doing?" Remus asked, sounding curious and much too amused for my liking as he stood over me, staring down.

"What's it look like? I can't sleep in my bed," I gestured to Lily. "I can't sleep in theirs because of the smell," I gestured to the boys, and Sirius twitched in his sleep, like a dog who was dreaming of a chase. "So, I'm sleeping on the floor." He rolled his eyes, pulling me off the floor.

"Come on." He said quietly, leading me out of the room, switching off the light as he went, and down into the Gryffindor common room where Elaine was still sitting.

"I thought you were going to bed." She stated, her voice full of curiosity, confusion, and disapproval. "You aren't doing anything wrong are you?" Remus shook his head, and I shrugged, looking as confused as she did.

"Come on, we're going back to the Room of Requirement." Elaine glanced at me, and I shrugged again.

"I don't know what he's doing." I said, and Remus rolled his eyes.

"I'm finding somewhere for us to sleep, dumb-dumb." He explained, and Elaine and I raised an eyebrow at each other.

"I was fine in my own bed." Elaine stated, and Remus simply sighed.

"And I was fine with sleeping on the floor." I tried to protest, but Elaine's head whipped around.

"Sleeping on the floor? Uh-uh, I agree with Remus. It can be like a sleep over." Remus and I both rolled our eyes.

"No offence Elaine, but I'm kind of hoping to sleep, not get my nails done." She glared at him.

"I meant in the literal sense you arse." Remus looked somewhat sheepish, and I grinned at her.

"I wouldn't say no to getting my nails painted." I joked, and she rolled her eyes at me with an indulgent smile.

"Of course you wouldn't. They'd be bright blue, like your eyes." Remus said dryly as we reached the Room of Requirement, and he paced the wall three times, eyes closed, before throwing the door open to reveal three large beds facing each other in a circle in the middle of the room. A fireplace flickered in the corner, and I grinned again.

"Wow Moony, you're so romantic. You could have at least wined and dined me first though." He rolled his eyes, and Elaine smothered her laughter with the back of her hand.

"Shut up you wanker." My grin disappeared, and I pretended to look offended. I flipped my imaginary hair and huffed.

"Baby, why you gotta be so cranky?" I asked in my best approximation of a girls' voice, hand on my hip, and Elaine snorted before falling onto one of the beds, laughing harder now. Remus pursed his lips before sitting on the edge of one of the beds.

"Just go to sleep, you sassy, sassy idiot." I smirked at him before flopping onto my bed.

"Yes, this will do nicely." I said conspiratorially, causing the others to glance over at me with a look of worried suspicion.

"For what?" Elaine asked concernedly, and I grinned at her.

"For sleeping, of course." The other two looked somewhat relieved yet uncertain.

"Why were you going to be sleeping on the floor anyway Leo?" I glanced at her again, before smiling.

"Lily was asleep on my bed, and the boys were passed out in the pillow heap. I couldn't sleep in their beds because of the smell and ew, who the hell would want to sleep in Sirius's bed- Don't answer that!" I exclaimed as Remus raised a hand to reply, and he dropped it. "Speaking of which, I'll probably have to wash my sheets to get Lily's smell out of it." Elaine looked confused.

"What, afraid of the cooties?" I froze and glanced at Remus before looking at her.

"No, afraid that after having her smell in my nose overnight, that I'll snap and kill her." I said bluntly, and it was her time to freeze. She looked ashamed at her slip, but I shrugged. "Don't worry about it. As long as I wash my sheets, we'll be fine." Remus rolled his eyes.

"Oh goody, our fate rests in the balance of a young boys hygiene. We're doomed." Elaine laughed lightly, and I frowned at him.

"Now that's just plain rude." Elaine glanced at me from her position almost opposite me in the circle, and I avoided her gaze, knowing she was looking.

"So what do you think they were all doing in there?" Remus's eyebrows furrowed.

"There were pillows strewn everywhere, so I'm guessing a pillow fight." I stared at him, thinking back to the room.

"They were talking, about us I presume, and James threw a pillow at Lily, Lily threw one at him, he declared a pillow fight, and they started you know, having a pillow fight." The other two stared at me and I avoided their eyes.

"How do you know that?" Remus asked, and I could feel Elaine's eyes echoing his question silently.

"You don't want to know." I glanced up as they started to protest, looking for an answer. "No, you really don't want to know." They didn't know that I could see their moves, even ones made previously, just by taking a whiff of them, and I didn't particularly want them to. After all, if it was scary for me, how would they react?

They let the matter drop, and we talked about non-sequential things until, one by one, we drifted into a peaceful, uninterrupted sleep.

Or, well, at least two of us did.


(A/N): So, what did you think?

Leo's ability is the one that has shown up briefly in previous chapters, where he's been able to feel someone move because of how he can sense their blood. he used this on Maloney, and I think a few other times too.
