Finding The Way {A Harry Potter FanFiction}

Chapter 25: SIRIUS

Hey there Wattpaders!

Well, here's the next chapter of my story! Yay!

Any-hoo, I was going to wait a bit to post, but, I'm really excited about the NEXT chapter, so I wanted to post this one ASAP so I can get the next one up!

*ATTENTION: Little bit of a filler chapter! But, I think it will lead up to soemhting. Possibly. Maybe. I really don't know yet, I havn't planned out the entier story yet, but I wanna have a few options.

Well, I'm going to let you all read now!

And please, don't be to harsh! I got the idea for the next chapter first, then realized I had to a few things before I put that one in, so this one's a bit rushed!

Leo POV

“Bye Le-Le!-Oh! Wait!” I heard Tabitha Green, a Hufflepuff call after me. I ignored her for the most part as I walked away from her. I’d went to Hogsmead with her last time (met her at the door to Honeyduke’s), and now she just couldn’t grasp that that was it. One date, that may, or may not have ended in a seven minute snog in the broom cupboard.  

I pushed my sweater sleeves up to my elbows and slung my robe over my shoulder. I didn’t bother to flip my curly bangs out of my eyes, apparently I looked more mysterious and according to Ron and Neville, intimidating  when I left my hair in my eyes and angled my face down slightly, looking up through my eyelashes.

Tabitha was trying to run after me, fix her hair as she quickly walked after me. “What?” I asked simply, spinning on a heel smoothly, making the bleach blonde girl crash into me. She was getting annoying really.

“Well,” she said, tracing the red and gold stripes around the collar of my gray jumper. “Valentines Day is coming up-”

“Not interested,” I cut her off, walking briskly towards the common room.

Now, normally, I wouldn’t be so harsh to girls. It tarnished my shiny image as a bad boy with a soft, sensitive side (Hermione told me this a few weeks back. I’d laughed hard when I heard this, but, I played off it). But with everything going on, I’d been trying to distract myself.

I did all my homework, and more extra credit than Hermione, the day it was assigned. I thought for hours about how Hermione was taking so many classes, when most where at the same time, same day, and never missed one. I briefly thought about asking Wood if I could practice with him and the Gryffindor Quidditch team, not even play actually games, just have something to concentrate on. And when he said flat out no, I winked at a few girls and said a few things in French, sweet talking them into a date, like I did with Tabitha.

“Oi! Leo!” I heard someone yell. This voice was male, so I looked over my shoulder. I rolled my eyes as I saw Max Dalton jogging towards me. “Hey!” he panted, blowing his shaggy bangs out of his eyes childishly.

“Hi,” I said blankly. Me and Dalton had never been exactly friends, we where considered two of the more...attractive boys in our year, so everyone expected us to be rivals. I didn’t mind him, but it was my role as an older brother to Phoenix to be hard on him. And, he could be annoying. He reminded me of Lockheart in a way.
