The Noble House Black.

Part 14

Leo's Pov, 

Walking through the hallway I see many eyes on me, it's been some days and I made sure to tell Kreacher not to tell anyone what we talked about with Grandfather.... he's trying to now figure out what it is... the Dark Magic. It's also been cleared up with the teachers what happened or well a part of it he said that Dark Magic made it's way into the school and that that was why I acted the way I did.... but I still feel like I need to apologize to some people myself..... sure me and Draco but heads many times.... but what I said..... what I did it wasn't me. 

I think there are times when you can use Dark Spells and I would never cower away from using them if needed, but I don't know what I said to Sirius and what he than said back to me about Draco maybe it's true.... maybe he's just a product of how he was raised.... maybe deep down he doesn't want to be like that and yet he is because he doesn't see a way out. 

"Draco." I say as I clear my throat and the boy turns in my direction with fear in his eyes as I look at the Slytherin boys around him. "Could you walk with me please, so we can talk. Alone." 

"As if he would go anywhere with you Bl' 

"O-oke." The white-haired boy says as he starts to walk with me as the others look at him with suprise. Walking over the school grounds towards the Forbidden Forest I see him gulp down. "I want to apologize for what happened..... for what I said, what I've done. It was not my intention to take it so far." I say as we walk through the trees and he turns to look at me. 

"Merlin and here I thought you were going to kill me in the woods!" 

"Then why did you come with me?" I ask him as I can't stop the chuckle that leaves my lips at his words. " I don't know, sometimes it's good to be away from them." He breaths out and I turn to look at him with a frown. "Away from them? Who?" 

"You know I really wanted to be both of your friend, everyone heard of The Boys who Lived." He says with a shake of his head. "And I told you I think back then if you wanted to be friends all you had to do was ask." 

"I know, I-I didn't mean those things I said." He says just above a whisper and I now turn towards the boy with a raised brow. "What do you mean?" 

"What do you think? After Crabbe and Goyle told their parents I wanted to be friends with you and Harry my father made them be around me all the time, if I don't act how they want than he will know it. You know where my father and their fathers where last year you think he would let me be friends with you, Harry, The Weasleys or Granger?" He says with a bite to it as he runs his hand through his hair in frustration. W-wait he doesn't want to be like this? They are making him into a massive git? 

"Even with that Hippogriff I told father I didn't want him to follow it up and he did, first year he made me try to find out where you all went that's why I snuck out. And all that stuff about that your like you father I don't mean it." He adds and I release a sigh. "And yet you have to play your part, because of them. Merlin's beard why didn't you tell us sooner?" I ask him with a frown as we continue to walk through the Forbidden Forest. 

"I-I don't know, how could I? Why would you even believe me." He says with a shake of his head. "I don't know, why shouldn't I? For a long time, I was afraid to turn into the man I thought my father was....... I was angry at my godfather for what I thought he did turns out in the end they both weren't the men I pictured them as.... maybe you're not the boy I pictured you as. We can't trust one another Draco not right now.... but that doesn't mean we can't grow to trust one another, to maybe become friends. So with that being said Leonidas Black." I say as I hold my hand out towards the boy who looks at me with some shock. 

"Draco Malfoy." He says as he takes my hand and we shake them. "Also don't drink her tea if she asks you for quistenion." He says and I let a frown form on my face. "Don't drink her tea? " I say and he quickly nods his head. "She's putting  Veritaserum in it." He says and of course she would do something like that! 

"Thank you, and next time you make a comment I will keep walking and not try to bruise that pale skin of you." I say with a chuckle. "It's not funny I bruise easily." 

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

Walking into the Gryffindor Common Room I see some eyes fall on me as Bandit sits on my shoulder most are already in bed, looking around I see Hermione in this comfy looking chair with Crookshank on her lap and of course a book in her hand while the fire burns. 

"Hey." I softly say and it makes her eyes snap up from her book before she throws it my way and I'm just able to dodge it with wide eyes! "H-hey?! Have you lost your mind Leonidas James Regulus Black!? You go off and than leave without another word! You fight Dumbledore in the courtyard and have to be taken down by who knows how many stunners we haven't seen you since Christmas and you come with a hey!?" She whisper yells as Crookshanks jumps off of her lap and walks over to me as he moves between my legs while bumping his head against it. 

"I-I didn't mean any of it, can we just please talk somewhere else about this? Please." I ask her softly and she releases a sigh but does get up as she walks towards the portrait hole. Walking after her we start our journey towards my chamber.... can I tell her everything? No I can't tell her the full story of the locket or about Draco it's dangerous for him the more people know the easier it's to get out.... but I didn't mean all the things that happened. 

"Aah Mr Black just the person I was looking for." The voice of the Warthog says and I turn around to look at the woman. "Yes Professor." 

"One Months of Detention for your resent behavior, you should be lucky your not expelled." She says and I clench my jaw. "Yes Professor." 

"5 pm tomorrow at my office." She says before walking away while I turn around and start to walk again as Hermione falls in pace with me. "Detention bu-" 

"Not here Hermione." I softly say as we continue the journey to my chambers and I should have known she would use this as a way to give me detention. As we walk in silence it takes about 5 minutes before the large Iron wooden doors appear in the wall and we make our way in. 

"Speak." 

"Oke so the locket it was filled with this Dark Magic and that's what made me act that way..... I didn't want to act like that. I didn't mean what I said to Draco and I even apologized to him, and I didn't mean to snap like that to Sirius it just I don't know it made me so... so angry and so I don't know it make me feel like no one cared about me.... and that no one understood me." I say as I speak with my hands to try and get my point across. 

"Dark Magic but how could Sirius hand it to you then?"

"Because he didn't know it was filled with it he must have had it to shortly with him to notice the effects, but when it was off I just felt like... like me again. Look I'm sorry for worrying you when I left..... I didn't mean it, I just wanted the break to be perfect for us and I ruined it." I say with a sigh and shake of my head. Seeing her walk over to me she soon takes my hands in hers. 

"What happend to the locket? You can't have it laying around here what if it falls into the wrong hands." 

"Grandfather put it away somewhere safe for now, I-I just I'm sorry." I softly say and she nods her head hesitantly before leaning up and placing a soft kiss against my lips. "You had us all worried Leo, some thought you lost it." She whispers making me sigh. 

"I don't care about what they think..... I care about what you think." I say as I lean down and lean my forehead against hers. "I knew you weren't acting like you, that somethign..... that something must have been going on I'm just glad it's gone now." She says and I nod my head as I place our intertwined hands on her hips. 

"Stay the night?" I softly ask her and she nods her head before leaning up and placing our lips together in a soft but loved filled kiss that I soon return.
