(A/N: Everyone I have decided that although Leo is Bi he will end up with Daphne although I will either create another Male to end up with Dimitri or I will put Neville with him If I said it once I'll say it again. Story mainly in Leo's POV.)
Chapter 8: Welcome Back
"Oh look we're here!" said Neville who was arguably more excited to be back than Timothy who was a first year was. Just the Odessa came up us.
"Right Leo. It's time to award you those 5 house points for helping a first year I promised you."
"Thank you." I reply and Hermione gasped.
*
We were all sitting in the great hall as Professor McGonagall brings the first years forward to be sorted into their houses.
"Addams, Henry!"
A young boy came forward and the hat said
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
I did not really pay attention until Timothy came.
"Gryffindor!" I applauded the loudest.
After the first years were sorted Dumbledore began to speak.
"There is a few changes to staffing this year:
The new Defense against the Dark Arts professor is : Remus Lupin"
I was the loudest cheering.
"Be careful Leo or your voice will go hoarse before the first day!" Hermione chided
"Whatever." I whispered before just smiling at my godfather. Beaming with pride.
"And lastly the care of magical professor is..." There was a pause.
"None other than our own Rubeus Hagrid!"
Applause erupted everywhere even some slytherins were applauding. One in question was the beautiful Daphne Greengrass. The way the candlelight reflected in her blonde hair. It captivated me. She glanced over to me and smiled but not in a sarcastic slytherin like way, a genuine smile. I felt my cheeks turn bright red. I looked away.
"Now let us eat!" Dumbledore exclaimed.
I began to fill my plate up with the healthiest food I liked. Hoping that it would impress Daphne. Wait why do I want to impress her? Why was I blushing when she looked at me and smiled? Why do I find the way the candles gleamed in her ash blonde hair? Why did I find her.... Oh shit.
"So Leo I know you were looking at a certain snake? I noticed your blush when she looked over at you? Care to explain?" asked Ron
"Don't be so nosey."
"I am curious."
"Well as the muggles say, curiosity killed the curious cat."
"Huh? Anyway tell me."
"Tell you what?"
"you know."
"oh give over you nosey prat." I snap but in a playful manner. I looked over to Neville, Harry and Hermione whom all gave me a look as if to say: You are so telling us later. I gulped knowing that when they want to know something they will not stop until they know it.
After the feast we were allowed to go to our common rooms. Although we Lions weren't able to get in our room.
"Fortuna Major!" Seamus said to the singing portrait of the fat lady. Turning to me he said. "She's not allowing us in?" I rolled my eyes
"Fortuna Major!"
"No wait watch this."
She began singing again and then started to screech in an ungodly way causing us to all clap our hands to our ears! She then proceeded to smash a glass on her nearby wall.
"Amazing top of my voice."
"FORTUNA MAJOR!" I snap.
"Alright you can go in." She sighed and opened the door.
"Thank you!" We all sigh. We all ran in and unpacked I of course decided that I would go and get my book. Which was still The Fog. I decided that if I was quick enough I might get out of the door before I got bombarded by questions. And hopefully get enough of a chance to get to Uncle Remus' quarters and read there with a cup of Uncle Remus' hot cocoa.
"Not so fast Leo!" Harry calls. Damn it! I cussed in my head.
"You need to tell us." Hermione added
"About Daphne Greengrass and why you blushed." Neville finished. I groaned.
"Spill!" All three said.
"okay since you're all nosey prats in the best way of course. I have had a crush on Daphne Greengrass since halfway through last year. And I being the oaf I am sometimes have only just realised it that is why I blushed at dinner. Now if one of you could tell Ronald please I would be grateful. Now if you excuse me I have a date with my uncle Remus' couch and a mug of his famous hot cocoa." I rant blushing furiously and running faster than I thought ever possible to my Uncle Remus' quarters.
I knock on the door.
"Come in Leo!" I obey. "What's wrong?"
"I have fallen for a girl."
"oh."
"And said girl is a slytherin."
"And What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing...I think. I just realised at dinner and then my wonderful god-brothers and Hermione cournered me and demanded to know why I blushed at dinner."
"Who is this girl?"
"Daphne Greengrass. But she'll never fall for me at all. I'm too plain. Too studious and too well mischievous at times."
"You are not plain. You can never be too studious. and as for the mischievousness well maybe she likes that. Your mum liked that in your father. So did I." Uncle moony whispered the last sentence so much I was glad for my enhanced hearing from my animagus form.
"Wait you liked Dad you know the way I like Daphne?"
"Yes. But alas, your mother won Sirius' heart."
"Aww Uncle Moony." I whisper before patting his back.
"I'm over it now. That boat has sailed away."
"But..." I say grinning "Boats may turn around."
"True little padfoot. Anyway do you want some Hot cocoa?"
"As long as I can take it to the common room. "
"Sure cub." 4
