(A/N): Hey Guys! So, today was the last day of school for this term, and we got reports and NAPLAN results back. On my report, I got one A, five B's, and three C's...I think. NAPLAN, I was above average in everything, including maths, which I skipped the last three pages of because I didn't get any of it. I got band 10 in reading, and my dot there was, literally, off the charts. The next three were band 9, and maths was band 8. I honestly expected to fail two of my lessons, but I was also expecting like, two more A's. Like, seriously, the teachers came up and told me I was getting an A in their class, and then, on the reports, I got B's. Dirty stinking liars! On the upside, the A was in English. We had to give an oral presentation in Humanities today, and mine was crap seeing as I was away. I had three slides in total, and one of them was the title page. I had one picture, the rest was info. Another upside, we got chocolates for winning a competition in class yesterday, and more for cleaning up the yard (well, tried to, the boys kept attacking us with the tongs). My family and I went to the theatre earlier, and saw Hotel Transylvania. I highly recommend it to all, not just children, or especially not children, actually. Rant, over.

Warning: ELEO, ELEO EVERYWHERE!

Lily

We were sitting the Gryffindor Common room late in the afternoon, Remus had joined us now after winning yet another game of chess, so we had a full group back.

Leo and Elaine had showed me the Kitchens this morning, so we wouldn't have to get covered in glue and glitter in the Great Hall (stupid Potter and his stupid prank), and I was awed.

House elves had been bustling everywhere, but there was still enough room to swing a cat. Not that I'd want to, but it's an expression.

"That was a brilliant prank." Potter announced with a wide grin, before turning to Leo. "And the fireworks were amazing, mate." Elaine and I's eyes widened, and we stared at Leo.

"You were a part of this?" I choked out, shocked and a little bit frustrated. I knew he liked them, but...he shouldn't be participating in stupid pranks like these!

"Only slightly." Leo held up two fingers, maybe an inch apart, and Elaine rolled eyes, grabbing both his hands and pulling them till they had quite a deal of space between them.

"Why do I have the feeling that this distance is more truthful?" She remarked dryly, still grasping his hands with hers, almost unconsciously. I think Leo noticed, but he made no move to remove them, and I smiled lightly, absolutely ecstatic.

Leo and Elaine, they were practically a match made in heaven. We were young, yes, but no one, blind, deaf, dumb or no, could argue that they weren't perfect for each other.

The way they snuck glances, the way they always sat next to each other, the way they always managed to end up touching... you could just tell that they were going to end up together.

That is, if they can get over their extreme stubbornness and admit to it. And even then, do anything about it.

After all, one of the many, many reasons that they were perfect for each other was, of course, the fact that they were both stubborn as an old mule.

I watched, with a small grin, as Leo intertwined his fingers with Elaine's, not letting o even as she flushed tomato red. Elaine liked him, she'd admit that, I think, at least to herself and I, but Leo...? He might admit it, but only to Remus.

After all, the only people he's close enough to tell are Remus, Elaine and I. Elaine is out, because of the obvious reasons, I'm a self-confessed gossip, along with frequent reminders from family, friends, and not so friends. So, Remus it is.

Problem is, if Leo did tell Remus, was getting Remus to tell us. He may want them together as much as everyone else in this goddamn castle, but he's terrifically loyal, especially to Leo.

Elaine and Remus said it once themselves, "We won't betray his trust Lily, Merlin knows he can only trust a few people as it is."

Then again, Leo can be spectacularly dense at times, maybe he hadn't noticed Elaine's crush, or didn't recognise that he reciprocated it.

Or perhaps, he didn't want to act on it because of that secret of his. Whatever it was, it must be pretty bad, if he doesn't want to tell me. Then again, they said that he thought I'd 'call him names and ditch him' if he told me, and even if it was a small problem, coupled with his supposed self-loathing, it could easily snowball to sound much worse than it is.

"Because your paranoid and bitter?" He said it with a smile, staring down at her, letting her know he was joking, and she faux-glared at him. Her lips split into a smile a few second later, her cheeks still flushed faintly pink as his hand were still intertwined with his.

"Be careful Blue, you're about to give the girl a heart attack!" Remus remarked, and the rest of us burst into giggles at this comment, though it increased when Elaine removed one hand from Leo's, plucked a pillow from the plush couch they sat upon, and threw it at Remus. The pillow flew true, hitting him square in the chest, hard enough to knock him off the arm of the couch he had been perched on, onto the floor.

"Nice shot." Leo murmured, and then he said something to her I couldn't hear, and she smiled up at him somewhat sadly before nuzzling his shoulder.

I made eye contact with him, winking once, and he rolled his eyes.

"Shut up." He mouthed, and I had to smother my laughter with the back of my hand. The others were staring at them as well, and I knew Leo could see them, but he didn't seem to care. I could see Elaine's neck redden as she felt their eyes on her back, but she didn't move, possibly from embarrassment, perhaps from contentedness.

"So, how did you do that anyway? The fireworks I mean, not giving Laney a heart attack." Sirius joked, and Leo gave him a disapproving look as Elaine flushed again.

"Have you ever even opened a charms book Padfoot? Honestly, you blokes need to study more." James and Sirius both raised their eyebrows.

"Study? Why, we're already smart enough. Besides, then we'd turn into you three, the Bookworm Trio, always studying." James remarked, and Leo half-glared at him.

"Say what you want, but come OWLS, we'll see who comes out on top." I raised both eyebrows as I watched the encounter between the boys, and even Elaine lifted her head to watch.

"Is that threat?" James and Sirius asked together, and Leo smiled, genuinely.

"No, it's a bet. Five Galleons from each of us, given to whoever scores highest on their OWL's. Sirius and James glanced at each other before nodding.

"Who else will be in that?" Leo asked us, and I shook my head, along with Peter, but Remus and Elaine hesitated slightly before nodding.

"Yeah, I think we have a pretty good chance." Elaine said slyly, winking at Leo, who grinned.

The two boys now looked worried, while Remus just smirked almost proudly.

"Better kiss your galleons goodbye, boys."

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

According to J.K Rowling, a galleon is roughly $5, so five galleons would be $25. Keep in mind, that OWL's are in fifth year, and they're in second, so they'll have plenty of time to save, and three of them are fairly rich.
