The Noble House Black.

Part 15

Leo's Pov. 

"I uhm want to ask you something?" I ask Hermione as we walk through the corridors together, the weekend is almost here an Harry said he has a surprise for me? I'm not sure if I would enjoy his surprise but alright. So far so good, I'm glad the second task is over like survived two, now we have one more to go and it's  bloody over! 

"If it's about the task again yes I'm fine you've already asked me about 1000 times." Hermione says playfully and I shake my head. "No it's uhm I've been thinking and well if in the summer you would like it to spend some time here with me or me with you if that's oke with your parents?" I shyly ask her and she turns in my direction. 

"You want to spend the summer together?" Hermione speaks with wide eyes. "Yeah well some time if that's what you want and uhm oke with your parents? Or I can visit you I don't mind." I say with a small smile on my lips that she soon joins me in. 

"I would like that...... to spend some time together during the summer." Hermione says and I look around me but see none before quickly leaning down and placing a peck against her lips. "So what's Harry's surpise?" I ask her once we pull apart and start to walk again. 

"H-he hasn't told you?" 

"No otherwise I wouldn't be asking you?" I counter and I see her face slightly fall and oke so it's not a good surprise? "You'll uhm well he's here or well coming this way." She whispers and come again, who's here!? 

"Padfoot." She whispers and my eyes widen ow you've got to be bloody joking me has he lost his bloody mind?! Or does he wish to return back to Azkaban! "Ow I'm going to kill him when I get my hands on him, Azkaban will be the least of his worries." I mumble to myself before I start to walk away from Hermione. 

"I-i'm not angry at you............ I just can't believe how stupid he is right now." I say as I come to a stop an look over my shoulder at Hermione who nods her head before she catches up to me. 

"Come on don't worry about it now, I'll even help you." She says and I raise my brow as she takes my hand. "With Fluffy and Bas-" 

"No." 

Day of Hogsmeade Visit. 

Walking amongst the countryside further away from Hogsmeade I look around the mountains stat start here, before I hear a bark making me turn my head around to see the familiar shaggy looking dog standing there as it walks over to me and well I'm bigger so I keep my head high as Sirius wags his tail once before I see Harry, Hermione and Ron look at me with wide eyes. 

"W-what the bloody hell is that!?" 

"Keep it down Ron!" 

"Looks like they know each other come on." They mumble as I start to walk after Sirius who leads us towards the foot of a mountain and onto a really rocky path but with my four paws it's rather easy. 

Reaching a narrow opening in the rock Sirius walks into it and I practically have to shove myself in as some low roars leave my lips as the rock tries to dig into my body before I push through and see a messy cave with news papers on the ground and Buckbeak there as I bow my head towards the Hippogriff who soon returns it. Laying down I place my head on my paws as Sirius starts to change back into a skinny and ragged looking man, his hair is longer than it was in the fire....... and more matted. His clothes well they are ragged and dirty. 

"'Chicken!' Sirius said hoarsely, after removing the old Daily Prophets from his mouth and throwing them down onto the cave floor. Harry pulled open his bag and handed over the bundle of chicken legs and bread.

 "Thanks" said Sirius, opening it, grabbing a drumstick, sitting down on the cave floor and tearing off a large chunk with his teeth. 'I've been living off rats mostly. Can't steal too much food from Hogsmeade; I'd draw attention to myself.'

'What're you doing here, Sirius?' Harry asks as Ron still looks at me in fear. "A-and what's that bloody thing!?" 

"For filling my duty's as a father and godfather, and your not going to say a thing?" Sirius says as he munches away on the chicken leg while I roll my eyes at him. "And not a what but a who." He adds making the three of them turn towards me. "It's a Animagus?!" Hermione says and see brightest witch alive. 

"I'm sorry Leonidas we couldn't find him....... I uhm thought he wanted to see you." Harry says apologetically towards Sirius who let's a grin appear on his face. 

"Do you know that Leonidas means Son of Lion, Emily once told me about this Spartan King who with only 300 men fought back against the Persian who wished to take their lands. 300 against hundreds of thousands, he had braveness, strength, honor, and the heart I wished my son to have so when Emily gave birth, we named our son Leonidas......The Son of a Lion." Sirius speaks with a fond smile on his lips as he looks at me. 

"Ow you've got to be joking, have you lost your bloody mind! What if it would have gone wrong?! Or if you got caught!" Hermione whisper yells as she slaps my shoulder over and over again. "Have you lost yours it will rip your arm off!" Ron yells and I release a sigh as I start to change back to much of the surprise of Harry and Ron. 

"I-I You're a Animagus!" Ron squeaks out and I nod my head as I sit down next to Hermione. "We are not here for that, have you lost your bloody mind?! Or was Azkaban so nice you wanted to return?!" I whisper yell to Sirius. 

"You four and Dumbledore are the only ones round here who know I'm an Animagus," said Sirius, shrugging, and continuing to devour the chicken leg.  "I don't care about that it's stupid that  your here what are you even going to do when shit happens wag your tail at a wizard?" I say with a scoff. 

"Bad things are going to happen in this tournament, Leo." He says and once again a scoff leaves my lips. "Once again what are you going to do about it? Bad things have been happening for years, we've had a fucking teacher use the cruciatus curse........ ow yes than being kidnapped by a Diary for months........ last year the whole business with the dementors. Ow and let's not bloody forget the fact that when we were just mere children the killing curse was used on us! There's nothing you can do even if that's what you wish, you're a wanted man." I bite Sirius his way before getting up with a shake of my head. 

"Bad things are going to happen he says, you think we didn't know that the moment our names came out?" I say as Hermione pulls me down again and I roll  my eyes as I cross my arms with a huff while I see a amused smile form on Sirius his lips. 

"Shut up." 

...............................

He told us about his worries, about the things that Harry's been seeing with Severus or well things he's seeing. Grandfather thrust Severus and so do I. He also told me all about Crouch who sent him to Azkaban without a trial! Or the fact he send his own son there.

"So I remember, I remember when I first met you all. Biggest bunch of misfits I've ever set eyes on. Always reminded me of myself a little. And here we all are, four years later." Hagrid says with a big smile on his face as we walk through the forest together making me chuckle as Ron is now to speak. 

"We're still a bunch of misfits." 

"Maybe. But we've all got each other, and Harry and Leo of course. Soon to be! The youngest! Tri-Wizard champions there's ever been! Hooray!" Hagrid yells as I walk next to Harry 

Hearing them begin to sing a grunt leaves my lips as I rub my chest from the burning feeling coming from it while I see Harry rub his forehead.......... oke? 

Passing a corner I see legs laying on the ground making my eyes widen with a gasp, when me and Harry briefly look at one another we take another step and just the lifeless body of Mr Crouch lays there with his eyes open. 

"Mr Crouch?" Harry asks but it's no use...... the man is dead.......... the only question truly is who killed him? And why.
