The Noble House Black.

Part 5

Leo's Pov, 

"So wait why are we going to the Hog's Head?" 

"A dink or two, or three." Blaise says as we walk through the snow towards the shade pub. "You know what I can use some drinks after all the shit that's been going on." I mumble as I put my arm around his shoulders. 

"So if this is a guy's trip why is she here?" I whisper to Blaise making Daphne slap the back of my head. "To make sure your not going anywhere." She says as the door opens and we walk in only to see a lot of students with Harry, Hermione and Ron sitting in the front as all eyes fall upon me. 

"Ow you've got to be bloody joking." I mumble under my breath, this si what they've been up too?! Finding someone to teach them Defense Against the Dark Arts?! 

"Hi. So you all know why we're here. We need a teacher. A proper teacher. One who's had experience defending themselves against the Dark Arts." Hermione starts as she gets up and I puff my cheeks out as I cross my arms . "Why?" 

"Why? Because You-Know-Who's back, you tosspot." Ron snaps back making a chuckle leave my lips, tosspot. 

"So he says." 

"So Dumbledore says."

"If you could both tell us more to how you got wounded." Michael Corner asks as he turns around and looks at me before looking at Harry. 

"Ow you want the short version? Here we where running through this maze grab the cup poof now we in a graveyard, now your thinking a graveyard?! OW yes a bloody graveyard not the worst that started when this Man rat came out cut our arms open and did some ritual and poof Snake Face and Witch Bitch back! Now your thinking that's the worst, nah that was when they put a bloody Ice Spike the size of my arm in my chest!" I bite their way in anger before Blaise pulls me back. 

"Is it true you can produce a Patronus Charm?" Luna asks in her dreamy voice. "Yes I've seen them do it." Hermione says and I roll my eyes as I shake Blaise's hold off of me. "Blimey. I didn't know you could do that." Dean says and alright? Your point?

"In the second year Leo survived months of being taken a Basilisk before defeating it!" Neville says and first of all it was Tom who took me and second the Basilisk is still alive and well in the forest but oke. 

"Third year, they fought off about a hundred Dementors at once." Ron adds and I'm so close and I mean so very close to walking out, she's putting us all in danger does she really think the Warthog will stand for this? "Last year, they really did fight off You-Know-Who in the flesh." Hermione adds before Harry is now quick to speak. 

"Wait. Look, it all sounds great when you say it like that.....but the truth is, most of that was just luck. I didn't know what I was doing half the time. I nearly always had help." 

"He's just being modest." 

"No, Hermione, I'm not. Facing this stuff in real life is not like school. In school, if you make a mistake, you can just try again tomorrow. But out there.....when you're a second away from being murdered......or watching your friend almost die right before your eyes or hearing him being tortured... You don't know what that's like." Harry says before he sits down again while I see some eyes fall upon me as I keep my head high. 

"You're right, Harry, we don't. That's why we need your help. Because if we're going to have any chance at beating.....Voldemort..." Hermione says before her eyes move to me. "We need both of your help." 

"He's really back?" Nigel asks and Harry nods his head and before I know it many start writting their names down on a paper as a line has formed. "Ow what's a little rule breaking." Blaise says as he also get's in line.
