(A/N): Hey Guys! So, there aren't many more chapters left of the prewritten ones, and I have to wake up in just under seven and a half hours... eugh...

A few weeks had passed since my confession, and, to my surprise, James had stopped badgering Leo about dating Brooke.
They weren't seeing eye to eye again yet, but he wasn't being openly hateful to the two anymore.
Lessons had passed tediously slow, and we had learned not to mention it when Brooke returned from somewhere with a fresh hickey.
For some reason, it was always her, never Leo.
At least, there were none above his collar.
Even though I had confessed my love for him and got turned down, I was happy that Leo was happy, and we had been going out on Flying Lessons ever since, though we mostly just talked.
One of the days, the others had come out to join us, and we had our own little Quidditch game.
Lily, Remus and Peter sat in the stands, playing exploding snap, Leo and I on one team, James and Sirius on the other, while Brooke umpired.
After a particularly foul shot from Leo, the game ended, and when they reached the ground, James whacked him over the back of the head.
"I saw that Potter. Two points to you." Brooke said, and suddenly, James shot her a smile.
"Ah, too bad the game's over then. We would have beaten your hairy arses." Leo looked both disgruntled and incredulous.
"We were sixty points ahead!" He exclaimed, and James shrugged.
"Optimism." He said, and Leo rolled his eyes.
"More like wishful thinking. The definition of wishful thinking." Brooke said for him, and he beamed at her.
Later, as the others left, I saw James stop Leo, and hung back, just in case.
"You picked a hell of a woman." With that, he left, not making eye contact as he walked past me, and then I made my way over to Leo.
"You okay?" He seemed to hesitate for a second before looking at me.
"Yeah." He said, a smile blooming on his lips. "Yeah, I am."
(A/N): 'At least, there were none above his collar.' My favourite line so far. :P
Also, I think Leo would take at least a little bit of pride in the hickey's he gives Brooke. Kind of like marking his territory, but with less pee.
