(A/N): Hey Guys! So, I'm currently in Maths, I just had an algebra test- not fun. As you know, I haven't been at school for a while, I have literally been here ONCE since we started algebra, but with only a few corrections ont he test, I'm doing pretty well I guess.

Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognise.

Leo

"What?!" The thing that saved me from answering Shari's outburst, however, was something I dreaded.

"Does anyone else smell humans?" My father muttered, arms crossed over his chest, eyes still locked on me, although I could see the worried tint in his eyes. I glanced towards Jo and Danniel.

"They can't be here. Not now, not near them." My father hesitated for a second, before nodding.

"Jo, Danniel, get out of here for a few hours. Go hunt." They looked a little surprised, but seeing the look on his face, they fled the scene as quick as they could. "Leo, stall them. Give Jo and Danniel time to get out of the area." I frowned at the cold edge in his voice, but nodded nonetheless launching myself from my tree to the next, and the the next, until I was soaring through the forest, nearing my group of friends.

As I reached them, I jumped from the tree, landing lightly in the path in front of them.

"Leo!" Remus exclaimed, grinning in relief before launching himself at me for a hug. He didn't reach me though, instead, jerking his head and body backwards suddenly. "You stink." Sirius cocked an eyebrow smirking.

"Remus, now is not the time to remark on his personal hygiene." Remus rolled his eyes sharply.

"No, he stinks like vampires." The others froze, and I bit my lip, thankful that they had thought not to bring Lily or Peter with them.

"Now isn't a good time for you guys to be here." Elaine hesitated for a second, and James took her place.

"Well tough! We're here, and we want answers!" He paused for a second, glancing back at Sirius. "Apparently." I glared at Sirius.

"Not of concern." He stared at me for a second, crossing his arms over his chest.

"How is it 'not of concern', Leo?! You were at a ball! With your mother!" Elaine's eyebrows shot up.

"Your mother?" I sighed, cocking my head at him, ignoring Elaine as completely as I could.

"Fine, not of your concern." Remus moved forward, nose scrunched, placing a hand on my shoulder.

"Leo, look-" I cut him off.

"Trust me, guys, I can handle this myself. And believe me, I have enough trouble without my mother." I rolled my eyes in the direction of the house.

"Two vampires getting on your nerves?" James said empathetically, though he knew nothing of what it was like.

"Five vampires now." They all looked surprised.

"Wait, Lisbet... and who else?" Elaine asked, and I shrugged, trying to avoid the subject, even though I knew I couldn't.

"Recruits." Sirius frowned at me.

"Recruits? For what?" Remus sighed.

"Leo is convinced there's a war coming." Sirius didn't look worried.

"There is a war coming." Shari told them, dropping out of a tree. "Though Leo probably shouldn't have told you that." She glared at me sharply, and I flashed her a weak smile.

"We have as much right to know as anyone." James reasoned, and Shari shrugged.

"Then again, Leo's doing a lot of things he shouldn't lately." I rolled my eyes at her.

"Let it go Shari." I groaned.

"You should have told us before you won against me." I chuckled, cocking an eyebrow at her.

"Is that what this is about? You're mad because I beat you in a fight?" She glared at me, arms crossed over her chest.

"No! I'm angry because you let me think I could win!" We stared at each other for a minute before launched herself into the treetop again.

"What was that about?" Elaine asked in a small voice, and I sighed, turning to face her.

"Nothing. It's nothing."

(A/N): LIAR!

Teehee!
