Moonah walks in quietly, looking to see if anyone's there. "Hello?"

Leon walked in and yanwed, "Hey Moonah," he said to her, sitting down in a chair near the <a href="fire%20place" onmouseover="window.status='fire place'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">fire place</a>.

Moonah smiled and walked over to a table to do some reading.

Leon yawned again and then walked back out, he had forgotten something.

Leon came back into the common room after a while and just fell on the floor, zaped of energy. "How can you women be so curious?" he asked Moonah, which Leon had seen while entering.

Moonah stared at him blankly. "Huh?"

*Harry Potter*Harry walks in and walks up to his room to unpack.

"Moonah stares at where Harry had dissapeared up the stairs, puzzled. "Whatever..." She then left the room with Sarol.

Leon slaps his forehead as he gets up. He wanted to say something insulting but decided not to, so just went into the Boy's Droms, where his plan was to soon fall into action.

---

A few hours later, Moonah came back into the common room, clutching her stomach and looking rather green around the gills.

Leon seemed kind of mad as he walked past Moonah and out into the great hall, it was getting annoying.

Moonah, most of the pain gone, wondered aloud.."I wonder what's his problem?" and then she followed him out the portrait hole.

Leon quickly entered the common room and then went to the boys dorms, seems as though his plans hadn't worked, or, well, hadn't been able to do.

Leon ran out with his hawk and then went into the great hall to get to his class, even though he was really tired.

---

Leon walked into the common room and he felt like thrusting his sword into the ground but didn't, instead he just droped it and sat in a chair near the fire.

Becky came out of nowhere and plopped down on the couch just across from him. She tilted her head and watched him curiously, "you're so violent.. you know that?" she grinned and laid her head back waiting for him to answer.

For once Leon's hair did more for him since it was covering his eyes, he felt a little bad, maybe because he was violent, then again he was always violent, well, ever since the last few weeks of school last year. Leon did his best to say something, and the most he said was a simple, "Yes..."

Becky pressed on relentlessly, "And you know what eslse? You're reckless. Not to mention how mean you can be... but you know..." Becky paused and got up. She walked behind the chair Leon was sitting on, put a hand on his shoulder, and said in a friendly voice, "It's alright, even if you get angry or impatient. You wanna know why? Because i'm your friend, and i'll always be here for you, so don't be so hard on yourself." She walked in front of him and lifted his bangs away from his face and said happily, "Now stop moping, it's no good for your image."

Leon seemed to have no choice but to give in to Becky's whim. He smiled a little bit, though something felt like it was burning in his soul, when Becky said they were friends, it made him feel a little hurt. "Like I want to be mean, I mainly don't wish to be mean to you," Leon said, him sounding like he hadn't talked for a while. He coulfn't help but look into Becky's beautiful hazel eyes and get lost for a few second in time.

Becky's eyes brimmed with dissapointment. She sat down on the couch and said sadly, "You dont' want to be my friend do you? I can see it in your eyes... I guess I understand," Becky looked at the carpeted floor beneath her, "I just wish you would've just told me."

Leon quickly stood up and swiftly walked over to Becky, "Well, I do want to be your friend, but....I don't....I, want to be....." but Leon just couldn't bring himself to say it, he even turned a <a href="light%20shade" onmouseover="window.status='light shade'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">light shade</a> of red that second, so all he did was look down at Becky for a few seconds, which made him feel a little uncomfortable with the odd silence and all.

Becky watched him curiously, but then it hit her. She gave a cautious grin, and patted the seat closest to her, beckoning Leon to sit next to her. "Leon, if this is what.. what i think it is, why didn't you just say so before?" she felt her face light up with a rosey color as she awaited an answer.

Leon scratched the back of his head and laughed a little, not really sure if Becky really knew what he ment, though answered truthfully. First he sat down though, and looked down a little, "Well, I guess I wasn't sure of what your answer would be, and.....well......last year, something happened....."

Becky turned to him, "You.. wanna talk about it? What happened i mean.."

Leon sighed, he knew he'd have to tell someone sooner or later. "Sophia, she was a student here, last year she ran into the forest, for some reason which I still do not know. She kept running, it seemed like hours, but when I found her, she was murdered in frount of my eyes," Leon said, starting to breath had, sweat running down his forehead at the memory. "I saw the thing, it looked a little like a dragon or some reptile like creature, thus one reason I attacked Lu Xun's dragon unicorn thing. I managed to get out of there, not too injured, though the rest of my days then I was just in the hospital wing, from both phisical and emotional pain," Leon finished, his breathing was heavy.

Becky looked at him with sympathy and pulled him close to her, hugging his shoulders. "...I'm sorry, Leon.."

Leon sighed, it had been a while since the insident, he didn't wish to remember it, though the thing was he did, strange duelality. "I was interested in her, and she was interested in me, though I had never told her, I found out by a friend," he said, still a bit sad.

Becky rested her head on one of his shoulders, not knowing what else to say, "I guess... you kinda regret not telling her now... huh?"

"Not sure," Leon said simply, not as sad anymore. "But it's in the past, there's nothing I can really do about it, unless I used one of the watches that takes you into the past, though I would have to go threw my summer all over again," Leon commented, thinking too much about things again.

"Well... for what it's worth.. i'm here if you.. i dunno.. if you need me." Becky let go of Leon slowly, her hands returning to her sides.

"Thank you," Leon started, still looking down but turning his gaze to Becky. "Becky," he finished, now looking at Becky, trying his best to smile.

Becky gave a soft smile, "no problem"

Leon yawned a little, trying to change the subject away from his horrid past. "So how do you think that werewolf is?" he asked, "Think we tied it down hard enough?"

Becky gaped at him, pushing away from Leon she got up, ran to the window, and searched the forest, "That's... That's...a WEREWOLF?!" She turned to Leon, "That's.. a Werewolf?!?!"

Leon looked at Becky and laughed, "That was a werewolf, you should have studied them last year," he said, watching Becky's movments. It was kind of graceful in Becky's worrysome mannor.

Becky crossed her arms, "Well, please, do EXCUSE my lack of knowledge." her voice was in a sarcastic tone, but noticing the playful look on Leon's face, she immediatly changed her attitude, " I'm just joking.. but.. who is it? " she paused, "may-be we shouldn't have left them.. may-be their lonely and need a friend..." Becky turned back around and watched the Forrbiden Forest for any sudden movements.

"I know who it is, but I promised not to tell anyone," Leon said, still watching Becky, laughing a little as Becky seemed worried. "Don't worry, I left my jacket for them when it gets up," he said, reasuring Becky.

Becky nodded, and sat back down on the couch, next to Leon. "So... " she had no idea what to say. They had covered so much conversational ground in so little time. Becky considered talking about herself, but didn't know where she would start even if she got the nerve to say anything.

"So...." Leon said, mosckingly, "How was your first day at Hogwarts this year?" he asked, smirking a little. "Must have been rather interesting."

Becky shook her head aimlessly, "you have NO idea... that's what I get for transfering to a school so far away from home..." Becky laughed and looked at Leon, "And yours?"

"Mine was just like anyother day," Leon said with a laugh, "It was really funny when I turned my hawk into a hat," he commented. "You should try doing it to my hawk as well, that or your cat," Leon added with a grin.

Becky smirked, "my cat would kill me.. go on a hungry strike, tear my clothes to shreds if i even tried to turn him into a hat..." Becky looked up the stairs that led to the girls' common room, remembering Charter had already went up there; probably to sleep.

"God knows that my hawk would just peck at my head," Leon said, looking out the window and grinning. "It's getting late, guess we should get to bed, unless we want another last night," Leon commented, remembering the truth potion everyone wanted to use on him, thank goodness they forgot.

Becky grinned, she had something for him this time.. this time he couldn't escape, "Hey.. Leon? could you just, right there on the wall! Oh my God, Look!!" She waited for Leon to look away, once he had she took her wand out...

Leon quickly looked and grabed his wand, always thinking that it was some moster, he always did enjoy a good fight, but when he found nothing was there, he started to wonder.....

"Forgive me Leon!" she aimed her wand at his head and said quietly, "Legilimens! " Leon froze on the spot, and Becky could finally read his mind. She paused for a moment, debating whether or not to just go ahead and enter his thoughts. But as she continued to think about it, she felt worse and worse. Finally she thought against it. Surely this was illegal, not to mention a total disruption of Leon's thoughts. Biting her lip, she hestitated for a moment more, but then tapped his forehead. Returning him back to normal; his mind still his own and unread. She frowned angrilly, "that must've been the stupidest thing i've ever done.. stupid concious!"

Leon quickly took out his sword and wand, both pointed at Becky. Of course, at first, he was frozen for a few seconds, in utter shock. "I knew I should not have trusted people again," Leon shouted out with anger, his voice booming through the castle and his face angry. "What were you planning on seeing? The death of Sophia? the person who I think killed her?" but then leon found himself in a corner, he had an idea of who it was, but, why? Why had he tried to kill Leon even? It couldn't, but, then.....

Becky at first cowered sheepishly into the <a href="couch%20cushions" onmouseover="window.status='couch cushions'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">couch cushions</a>, but within seconds, stood up to Leon "I can't beleive this, I could've read your mind! But did I? No! I didn't even want to see how Sophia died!" as she yelled this Becky slipped a glove she had still stuffed in one of her robe pockets onto her right hand, "I tried being a friend, and now... now you can't even take a simple prank?! Leon.. you...you, sensitive jerk!" Becky raised her right hand, and swung, with a loud clap, her hand had hit Leon's face. She took a step back, shocked at her own actions. Tears formed in her eyes, they ran down her cheeks like sparkling pearls. "I.. I'm sorry!" Becky looked away and began sprinting to the stairs.

Leon just stood there for a while, it was quite a bit to take in, the memories, this 'prank' of Becky's, who might have even killed Sophia that one day, and even Becky slaping him. A few momments later, Leon let go of his sword and wand, both of which toppled to the ground, and then his knees gave away, in which Leon fell to the floor as well. Leon couldn't even think strait, he shouldn't even have to deal with this, and yet he was, why had he been cursed with such a life is one question he wondered. So Leon just stayed there, not even sure how long he'd stay, hours maybe...

Becky watched him, horrified at the damage she had caused with such a seemingly harmless joke. She slowly took steps backwards, not sure of where her feet were taking her. Her back touched the wall and with no where else to go her body slid to the ground, as she still gazed at him, her tears formed again. Crying a bit, she was too afraid to go touch him or check if he was dead. God knows she'd only cause more damage, she couldn't ask for help, she'd have to explain herself... Even the hospital wing sounded like a bad idea. So she sat there and did nothing, afraid to move..

*Harry Potter*Harry was shocked when he saw Leon fall to the floor and started wondering why.

Becky looked up to Harry and bit her lip, God knows what he was thinking. "I-It's not what.. you think!" The only words that came to her.

*Harry Potter*Harry just stood there still shocked and looked at Becky.Then Harry heard crying coming from the hallway.

Becky listened as well, and as her ears perked for the sound, she picked it up. Blinking her eyes, she wipped her own tears away. Almost afraid to leave the spot where she sat, she stood up, and looked to Harry.

*Harry Potter*Harry just walked back to his room just pertending he didn't see anything.

Becky watched him cautiosly as he left. Sighing... she sat down on the couch closest to Leon. She studied him.. still unsure of what to do. But as she gazed silently, she heard a lone wolf's cry from outside, she ran to the window to see the werewolf had come free. "Oh no!" She ran to Leon and kneeled down in front of him, shaking his shoulders, "Leon...Leon wake up! I know I did something wrong.. and i'm sorry... but wake up! The werewolf's free... Leon!" Becky waited only for a few moments later for him to wake up, but when he didn't, she pushed him up on the couch. She stood up, pulling the remaining glove onto her <a href="left%20hand" onmouseover="window.status='left hand'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">left hand</a>, she pulled out her wand once again, and left the room at a sprint.

A few minutes later, after Becky had left, Leon couldn't help but wonder what he should do, even if Becky had somewhat betrayed him. How could reading his mind be a prank? But then again he couldn't leave Becky to fight a werewolf. Leon slowly got up and then picked up his sword and wand. Trying to think of what to do next, Leon finaly decided to follow Becky.

---

Becky ran through the common room and into the girls' dorm.

Leon came in after Becky, but since she wasn't thee, he guessed that she was in the girls dorm. Feeling a little better, Leon walked into the boys dorm, ready to spring his own plan into action.

---

Leon walked into the common room and sat down near the fire, wondering what might happen, after all, he had done something he'd never done before, and Becky was the one who he said he cared for.

*Harry Potter*Harry walked out his room and sat on the couch then fell asleep.After a few hours he heard screaming coming from the halls so he got up and walked out of the room.
