Leo's Pov,
Releasing a groan as I blink my eyes open I soon hear the voice of Basil. "You should go back...... they must be looking for you."
"I don't care." I mumble as I lay on my side while the snake's body is wrapped around me as if it's a nest, I-I haven't returned to the school in some days...... she's acting like I'm the one to blame if Draco just kept his bloody mouth shut about things this wouldn't have happened.
"She may be angry..... but now she's worried about you. Staying away will not help that worry fade not for your mother and also not for your friends." He says and I roll my eyes. "Since when did you become so wise? Stupid snake." I mumble as he pushes me to get up and I dust the dirt and leaves off of my clothes, sleeping on a pile of leaves was well let's say I prefer a bed.
"Did you forget I am a thousand years old?" He says teasingly and I start to walk away from the snake towards the exit of his vivarium. "Worrying about one means the love of affection you have for one is real." He adds and I turn towards him once again with a raised brow.
"I think I liked you more when all you could speak about is your hunger."
"You've been keeping me well fed, gives my mind time to think about other things. Now go." He says as he moves over to me and pushes me out of his enclosure with his scaly snout. Walking out of the door that turns into a piece of tree bark I soon step into the Forbidden Forest again and close my secret place behind me, there are those who know it exists but do they know the location? No. Well Newt does since he helped me set it up but that's about it.
Profesor's McGonagall's Pov,
This boy when I get my hands on him! He's been gone for days..... no sign nothing..... we've been searching the Forbidden Forest but so far, we haven't found him he's somewhere with those creatures. Newt helped him set it up so no one who doesn't know where it is can find it well here, we are all running around searching for Leonidas and we don't know where to look.
He's angry and I understand his anger...... but attacking a student like that? No matter what they say it's not... not right. He reminds me sometimes so much of Sirius he also was known to lash out when provoked. There where many students who jumped to Leo's defense telling me what Draco Malfoy said and yet we can not let him off with no punishment. But for now I wish to find him.
"I've been tryin' so hard to survive
Sometimes I think that I wanna die
I feel so fucking guilty 'cause God, I'm so lucky to live my life
So I keep all the pain to myself
Losin' faith, but nobody can tell
Mom, I don't want you worried 'cause that would just hurt me
So I pretend I'm fine." I hear the voice of Leo sing through the forest making a frown appear on my face as Albus and Severus also turn towards the sound of the singing.
"If you only knew
What my mind is tellin' me I should do
That I'm drunk and all alone in my room here tonight
I'm too sad to cry, it's true, oh
If you only knew
All the shit my brain is puttin' me through
You'd come runnin' over straight to my room here tonight
I'm sorry, but I need you, oh
If you only knew." He continues as I slowly start to walk in the direction. While my frown only grows right now as I listen to the words that leave his lips.
"I wish I was somebody else
I'm constantly overwhelmed
Now I'm falling again, gettin' drunk with some friends
It's a silent cry for help
I wanna get better, I want you to know
That I can't do this on my own
If you only knew
What my mind is tellin' me I should do
That I'm drunk and all alone in my room here tonight
I'm too sad to cry, it's true, oh
If you only knew
All the shit my brain is puttin' me through
You'd come runnin' over straight to my room here tonight
I'm sorry, but I need you, oh " Rings through the forest as I see Leonidas walk in the distance towards a small lake as his clothes and hair are messy from the days he's been spending in the forest.
"Take me outta this hell
Oh, somebody help
Take me outta this hell
Oh, I'm not myself
I wanna tell you what my mind is tellin' me I should do
That I'm drunk and all alone in my room here tonight
I'm too sad to cry, but I want to
Oh, if you only knew" Comes out softer as he sits down by the water and pulls his knees towards his chest as a sob leaves his lips before I bend down and wrap my arms around the crying boy.
"I-its' going to be alright, come here." I softly says as he just starts to break down in my arms as he holds onto me for dear life........ and for the first time in years his mask is starting to crack. He's 14 and been through so much already, been tortured with the cruciatus curse, he was taken for months and kept under the school in chains with no one there for him...... and last year everything he went through with Sirius and Remus......... the boy's broken and I can not force him to talk he will push everyone and everything away from him even more. And even after everything when his friends are in danger he's the one who runs not away from danger but towards it to keep them save. He ran towards a bunch of Death Eaters to save Harry who they lost in the panic of the World Cup. Draco beside some cuts and bruises and a broken nose he's alright and already mostly healed up by Poppy.
"W-was he right.... did I deserve all those things?" Leo brokenly asks me and I shake my head as I hold him tightly against me. "No, you didn't' no one deserves to go through those things epically you." I say as my hand moves through his messy black curls where small leaves are in, he's been sleeping on the forest ground. "Than why do I keep going through them, h-how is any of it fair." He says with red eyes as he pulls his head away and looks at me with a big frown.
"My father was a muggle and whenever I was going through had times he told me that God gives his toughest battles to his strongest Soldiers, you are strong Leo...... stronger than you might even know yourself and I know that you can survive everything they throw at you...... that you will fight."
"I don't want to be a soldier....... I just want to be Leonidas." He softly says as he wipes his eyes with the sleeve of his school robes that are also messy with dirt, leaves and twigs. "I know, and to me you are just Leonidas....... a Leonidas with detention for that matter." I say with a small smile making him release a chuckle as he turns to look back at the lake.
"C-can we just sit here, for now?" He asks me as he pulls his knees towards his chest and looks towards the calm water of the lake. "We can just sit here." I say as I move to sit beside him and stare also at the calm water.
"But that doesn't mean your getting out of detention."
