Year 1 Chapter 21 - The Attack of Ravenclaw

Keith suddenly runs in to bump into me. "Ah!" I say turning to my animagus form. I fly into the air as Keith catches herself on the ground.

"Wait? What?" she says looking up at me. "Leah? Is that you?" she seems very confused. I land and turn back.

"Yes it is me Keith..." I say looking at Aby. Her nose twitches, but she doesn't move.

"Oh! I didn't know you were an animagus!"

"Yes...well I am and you now know..." I then sigh.

"What happened to her?" Keith looks at Aby.

"I don't know but she'll be ok...this is Aby by the way" I then face Fred and George. "And these people are Fred and George. You already know Leo."

"Hey Keith! Nice to see you again..." Leo says. He forces a smiled and waves.

Keith waves back and says "You too Leo! And it's nice to meet you Fred and George! I am Keith Banks."

"Hello Keith" the twins say at the same time. They smile and Keith smiles back.

"Anyways..." Keith says. She takes her bag and goes through it till she finds a newspaper. "Leah look..." She sounds frightened.

I shakingly take the rolled up paper and unfold it to see a picture of Leo, Aby, and...ME!

I then read the first paragraph out loud...

The Attack of the Ravenclaw

Three students of Hogwarts named Abyssinian Black, Leo Promantous, and Leah Scamander have attacked three other students from Hogwarts: Chet Sallmone who is a Slytherin, Ary Sallmone who a Hufflepuff, and Colt Sallmone who is Gryffindor. Previously all three were at the Hospital Wing because of how bad the injuries were. They have said that the Ravenclaw students are mean and will attack anyone who looks at them. Please be careful in Hogwarts. These students are very dangerous and must be stopped. If you happen to see them harm anyone please contact one of the Professors ASAP!

And after the paragraph, there was a picture of all of us. That's when I started to cry. I feel onto my knees and put the newspaper on the ground. "This is all my fault...." I said in between tears.

Leo picked up the newspaper and gave it back to Keith. Then he took my hand and dragged me out of the Hospital Wing.

"What do you want?" I muttered. I was still crying. We were in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. Leo came close and gave me a hug.

"It's going to be okay" he whispered into my ear.

"But I-" I started to say.

Then Leo cut me off. "No it wasn't you..." he said. Leo now had his hands on my shoulders. Then he held my hands in his and said "It was never your fault. Don't blame yourself..." He then kissed me on the cheek and said "It's going to be okay....I'm here for you and I always will be." We both blushed and smiled.

"You always know how to make me feel better..." I said.

"OH! Lovebirds!" called Myrtle from one of the stalls.

Leo and both laughed, and I laid on him as we walked back the the Hospital Wing, hand in hand. "Bye Myrtle!" I called out as we left. And at the corner of my eye, I saw Myrtle stick out her tongue. I giggled a little, but didn't say anything. When we got back, Aby was awake and was reading the newspaper.

"Shocking?" I asked with frown.

Aby nodded as her hair turned different colors. I quickly did my dragon scales and looked at Aby.
