Leonette’s heart skipped a beat when she came back into the hall. Did she really love him, like really love him? She really didn’t know but she knew the way she felt being with him was far better than the way she’d felt without him. She found that David was in a lot of ways her sound board, the person she could count on to tell her running in without thinking was a bad idea. It was because of him in a lot of ways that she wasn’t sure what she wanted to do after Hogwarts, not that she’d even tell him that. He’d probably tell her not to let him stop her on what she wanted to do. Of course now she wasn’t so sure…

Did David just ask her to date him? Leonette felt like she was living a dream. If this was the only way she could be in his life then she couldn’t turn it down. Besides her feelings were telling her that it didn’t matter what the Avery family put her through, she wouldn’t leave David for the world. "Date you...? You mean be your girlfriend...?" she questioned if she heard him right. God she hoped she did. “I will and I promise it won’t be just a fling.” She answered almost as quick as she asked the question. “I’m not going to walk away and there’s nothing your family can do to make me change my mind.” If anyone knew Leonette well enough they would know she never gave up. In fact, once she started something she was bound to never leave it unfinished.

“David, I could say the same thing about you.” She told him with a smile. “And just so you know I’m not worried about that.” She added. Him compromising on anything didn’t worry her she was pretty sure he wouldn’t be all that bad. After all she’d spent time with him long enough to know. Even the idea of him dealing with her friends didn't worry her, they were mostly on the team anyways. Though Leonette kind of wondered who this Edwin Ryans guy was...

Looking up at David Leonette felt a new sense of pride knowing that she got what she wanted after over a year of waiting. “David… what conditions did your grandfather give you exactly?” she asked him. “I mean, how bad are, they?” she added hoping they weren’t all that bad.

Leonette quickly shook her head at his question. “I wouldn’t do a thing like that, well not intentionally anyways.” She said honestly. “Why wouldn’t I agree to it? Think about it, I like you and you like me. I asked you to come with me to Hogsmeade because I wanted to get to know you better. If you didn’t catch on it was my way of asking you out. So, on top of all of that and the fact that you’re telling me, the only way I can remain close to you is by being with you as a real couple then I’m sure not going to say no.” Leonette explained.

Listening to the conditions of his inheritance Leonette didn’t see them being to terrible. Thinking them over, three of her friends happened to be muggleborn which could pose a minor issue for David unless nobody knew. God she hoped she would make things difficult for David down the line. ‘No backing out now Leo, you aren’t going to walk away after you just said you wouldn’t.’ Leonette thought shaking her mind of the thought.

“It’s official. I’m yours starting right now.” Leonette answered putting her foot down on the matter. “I don’t care what anyone will think. So long as we’re together nothing else matters.” She told him. “David,” She said with a small laugh. He wasn’t being an arse he was just trying to keep her out of matters that were complicated at best. “You don’t have to worry about what fair for me or not. It’s my decision isn’t it?” Leonette answered. “There’s no way you can talk me out of this now. You asked and I’ve decided. So, you’re stuck with me. Besides, being logical is more your thing anyways.” She told him her decision being final.

Leonette laughed as David told her not to use the wording she did. “David, you aren’t any of those things.” She said before freezing as he finally started to realize what she had said. Hogsmeade was indeed her way of getting him to go out with him. Thanks to her cousin’s girlfriend that is. Honestly she wouldn’t have come up with the idea on her own. David was right though she knew exactly why he wanted her to stay away from Cathy, to bad she figured it out so easily.

“Yes…” Leonette answered slowly. “That was me asking you out and you may have pushed it but I pushed it first.” She added even though they both felt they pushed the idea. In a lot of ways they both did, maybe that was a good thing. “No, it doesn’t but I think you’re right. We should just let everyone else figure it out. We certainly don’t need any more rumors floating around the castle this year.” Leonette said, truthful she wanted to avoid that as much as possible. Though she knew she’d have to tell her friends eventually.

Sighing a little Leonette shook her head as David continued believing he needed to make up for being a jerk. “David you really don’t owe me anything.” She told him. It was her own fault for not taking her medication and not mentioning she was allergic to cats in the first place. Suddenly Leonette’s cheeks turned red when he asked her how hard it was to remember something such as her medication. “Um… you really want to know?” she asked glancing away from him. “It’s pretty hard when you keep worrying about everyone else not to mention what you look like.” She said shifting her eyes back over to him.

Secretly Leonette had went over what she was wearing about half a dozen times and was still doing so when she was coming up to the door of his house. That’s how worried she was which for most girls wouldn’t seem out of place but Leonette wasn’t the type to worry about such things. She just wasn’t girly… or at least not normally…

It seemed David was just as stubborn as she was which surprisingly Leonette didn’t mind. Watching him walk over to her and place his hand on her shoulder she recalled that the last time they actually make physical contact with one another was the night the rumor started in second year. Leonette did feel lucky but not for the fact that her new boyfriend was going into the medical field but for the fact that she had a new boyfriend.

Lightly nodded Leonette knew it was silly to be worried about how she looked. Even her sister called her on it a few times since she started caring. Maybe she was lucky to have a guy like him. She may not know what he would be like as her actual boyfriend but she had a feeling things wouldn’t really change.

Smiling Leonette’s was glad she looked good in blue. Honestly she thought about wearing red again but thought it was best to not over do the color. “I’m glad you approve. Hopefully they don’t hate it that much or I’m going to need a new wardrobe.” She said, honestly all she ever had was red and the occasional blue and yellow. “What do you think of the color green?” she asked curiously. Was green even her color? Chances were probably not.

“Asking me to be your girlfriend was more than enough.” Leonette said although if he really felt it necessary she wouldn’t argue about it. Okay, she wouldn’t argue anymore about it. At least not after what he just said. “Okay, I’ll give it some thought if it’ll make you feel better. I certainly don’t want you feeling bad for an eternity of it.” She answered caving in to his demands. “So… I guess when I meet your parents I won’t be introduced as just a friend and classmate now will I.” Leonette said just realizing that fact.

Leonette had a feeling her house placement was going to cause enough problems. However, maybe she could manage to have that part overlooked… somehow… Though, as David explained why it made much more sense. Eloping wasn’t best no matter what family but she imagined it would be worse for anyone in the Avery family. “I see why Gryffindor doesn’t sit well with them.”

“I’m not particularly concerned about it but that is a good suggestion.” Leonette didn’t want anything to make her reputation worse than being a part of Gryffindor could do to her. In a lot of ways it was the concern that it would link to David that she cared so much. Either way if he wasn’t worried about it maybe she shouldn’t be.

Leonette understood why he’d avoid mentioning anything besides her name. Worst case if they asked they could just say they were classmates and at best study partners. That would be believable right? “Good point we’ll just keep this on the down low…” Leonette had forgotten if he said anything to his parents her sisters would then find out. That meant she’d have to hide it from them until she felt like sharing. Which with her sister’s meant probably never, or she wouldn’t tell Mira at least.

“I question if that’s true or not.” Leonette said before pausing a moment. “Speaking of cats and my sisters… where are those two? I mean I know I was a bit distracted but Mira did go downstairs right?” There Leonette went again being the concerned parent when she was only their sister. Deep down she hoped they weren’t causing trouble.

Dr. Sinclair Alfred-Jon League xxxxx
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
xxxxxxxxx

Leah's nanny had fallen ill to food poisoning earlier that day and had had to go to the hospital which had pulled Sinclair from his work and he had to arrange for someone else to watch Leah for the next couple days. Thankfully, his son was able to do so. It helped that David's wife Leo was on maternity leave at the moment from her own work being very pregnant at this point and the two had gotten a house elf. After having worked to arrange around the inconvenient illness of the nanny and still performing surgery later that afternoon, thankful in his branch of medicine he could delay a surgery a few hours without any concern about the person possibly dying on him, he was more than happy to drink two glasses of wine and go to bed early.

Sinclair was fast asleep in his bed, curled up at the foot of the bed was the two rather old cats Tara and Tristan. The two cats had passed their life expectancy and if it wasn't for the fact he half suspected that having three magical children and did have a magical wife might have influenced the life span of the cats he'd have thought to try and put the cats in some record book. He barely stirred as the bedroom door was pushed open by his third cat: the British Shorthair that David had brought home after his fifth year. He had apparently rescued the cat named Charlie from some horror of the OWL exams. Charlie never took to sleeping on his owner's bed, likely because the two older cats chased him off. Instead Charlie opted to sleep in Leah or Cathaline's room (where he curled up with the cat MeiMei) when either girl was there and slept on the stairs when both girls were gone.

Charlie had spotted the stranger who had intruded in the home. Had seen the man's cold blue eyes and could smell the ill intent. Charlie knew that he did not need to worry about Cathaline's safety or Leah's as both girls weren't there that night but that still left his true owner, Sinclair's, safety. The British Shorthair had a mission: he must alert Sinclair of the evil man. Leaping onto the bed, Charlie stepped onto his master and claws out walked up him. Sinclair tossed at first and then sat up with a swear. He glared groggily at the cat but Charlie didn't let it deter him as he meowed loudly and irritably trying to accurately communicate his distress to his squib owner.

Sinclair frowned as the cat's message slowly was processed. He turned on his lamp and was getting out of bed the moment the master suite's bedroom door banged open. Standing there in mostly darkness was the redheaded ex-con Maxmillian Chaisty. Sinclair was immediately struck by the similarities Maxmillian held to his sister Acacia. Casey and Maxmillian shared the same red hair and certain fierceness and an equal stiffness to their posture and bearing, the posture and bearing of ones who come from a long line of stiff purebloods who's goal was power, money, continuing their pure line, and destroying those who stood in their way. Sinclair narrowed his eyes at Maxmillian and demanded, "What are you doing here?"

Maxmillian raised his wand and said, "I'd rather you not speak to me squib, but I suppose the reason I vaguely respect. Your daughter."

"Which one?" He hissed.

"Both," Maxmillian answered, "the youngest might be saved still and put on the right path... the other... she's expendable. I'd have disowned any child of mine who was sorted to Hufflepuff, though I suppose I can't expect much. You did marry a whore and are nothing but a filthy squib."

The realization hit Sinclair, his in-laws had never made it a secret they thought they should be raising Leah ever since Cara died. He had to give the old couple credit, they had arranged for a murderer to be in their pocket when they worked to release Maxmillian from prison. Someone who would have no qualms about murdering him nor would blackmail the couple at a later date. Maxmillian owed them not only for his release but for the arrangement of taking his daughter in while he was incarcerated. Sinclair couldn't help but let out a short laugh. It made perfect sense. It was exactly what David had warned-not to excessively irritate the Averys. So, not just one child taken to do their own twisted means was enough. Sinclair hadn't had much choice when the Averys spoke to him about naming David heir but David was older, more rational when it came. Leah was younger. She had lost a mother so early she did not remember one and now was to lose a father. A father that if the Averys had their way they would twist to be considered scum. It wasn't hard to poison a child's mind.

He had rewrote the will to have Leah and Catie (as she wasn't an adult by muggle standards quite yet) to go to David and Leo for custody but it was likely the Averys did not know that or if they did they had already worked for a revision of the will. Besides even with David with custody they would have more access to Leah. David was heir of the family and would never risk irking the Averys as far as Sinclair had in banning any visitation at all by their grandparents as he had done for over a year now. Sinclair had to give some credit to the two. Taking a deep breath he said waving his hand at the two Rex Devon's who had been stirring with their extremely short hair standing on end and hissing at the redheaded intruder.

As Maxmillian raised his wand, both lunged off the bed at him, and Maxmillian redirected his wand and with a green light he blasted twice, Tristan laid sprawled out mid lunge dead at his feet, the other, Tara, Maxmillian shook off his hand and kicked after she landed on the floor. "Damn menaces," Maxmillian said before raising his wand again towards Sinclair.

Dr. Sinclair League raised a brow and said, "Go ahead."

"I never asked your permission squib," Maxmillian growled. The spell "Avada Kedavra" rolled easily off Maxmillian's tongue. He didn't even wait to watch the squib's body hit the floor as he turned, slamming the door behind him and strolling out. Charlie the cat stood on the bed watching in horror as his beloved human fell. He only reached the door in time for it to slam on his face and he began to scratch the door letting out long mournful meows.

Jean arrived at Cathy's home fine and well, he could admit that he liked the sights of London but of course he still love Edinburgh as it was his hometown. But well, recently, he decided to become independent and move out with his bestfriend Eli, because for Jean (though he never said it out loud) the eccentric albino was like a brother for him. Of course, Eli had to convince Jean's overprotective mother for the two of them to move out but thank goodness his father agreed with them as much as how painfully neutral the professor could be. He was on his day-off when Cathy called him for a dinner... At her house. Jean was about to worry about David's threats but when he'd thought about he had faced much worse things in his job as a Witch Watcher, gathering evidences and leads from dangerous places here and there. Also interrogating stubborn suspects with some death threats wasn't helping, either.

Of course, like a sweet and artistic boyfriend he was, he arrived at her door with a bouquet of Gladiolus, because roses were short-lived, overrated and cliche. And hey, Gladiolus were nicknamed as "Sword Flowers" so why not? Beside, not everybody gives their love-bird flowers like these so he was pretty sure something different were always the best, because creativity always makes it best.

Jean decided to come to the kitchen to help out his girlfriend when he found himself hearing her conversation with a six-year-old (okay, well, he didn't exactly know how old Leah is but it was definite a child-age). He was relieved that Cathy was able to catch the knife because children might hurt themselves and bleed with dangerous sharp things, but when she went on on how scars weren't pretty for girls... Jean knew there was something wrong, but of course, he still refused to show her his sectumsempra scar on his left chest but that line from his girlfriend just didn't sound right. At all. He shook his head with a dissatisfied face when Leah replied that "Being pretty is one of the most important things a girl can be." God, if his tattooed mother were here he knew her very very well that she would call that bullshit, because she literally taught him that way. She was an artist, and so was he. So, he decided that he should speak out about this, "I disagree wi' tha'," His voice sounded upset for sensitive people though it seemed to shake out of reluctance, but part of him was screaming to say it, "I'm no' gonna lie but, really Cate? Of all the things tha' was important to daily life and from wha' I'm seeing here, make-ups and looks are always important? Give yer sister a break, what if she ended up bein' a people-pleaser?"

Jean saw her frown and he was aware that something bad was gonna come, but then Cathy rarely frowned and his standards of being intimidated to someone was below average. He gritted his teeth hopefully to suppress his anxiety, as he decided to stand on his ground. 'If I was able to survive in my daily career then I'm able to handle an arguement' Or well, that was what he thought, after all he and Eli rarely had a hot argument unless they were probably talking how how Wizards were secretly Vampires. But really? Why did she had to bring up her dad? The Doctor literally had nothing to do with this conversation, not at all. "No offense bu' leave your da' out of this" He said, frowning, "And who cares about wrinkles, anyway? Everybody has them, it's reality after all,"

He rubbed his forehead out of annoyance when she still cannot see his point, but that was fine he decided, it was better off this way than her continuing to make another people-pleaser, "Yeah sure, bu' sacrificin' yer own deep feelin's and problems jus' for what people wanted to see you isn' a good idea, either. And yes..." His voice trailed out, he went back from being reluctant again, but he forced himself, "Listen, I love you not because you're pretty or popular or anything back in school , it's..." And that was how he lost his voice, as he couldn't actually figure out why he loved her in the first place, even if he tried tracing back to their first year selves in Hogwarts. He looked at Cathy and he finished saying, "I-It's because... Bloody hell, I don' know..."

He facepalmed as of how he couldn't figure an answer, but he looked up as he recalled her using her Hufflepuff history being related to her being one, and he pointed out, "Yes, it's wrong... and being a Hufflepuff has nothin' to do wit' it because as far as I could remember, Iris was nowhere near to a people-pleaser and she's in Hufflepuff, if she were one I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have gotten tha' tattoo right across the face" And he could admit, he did find Iris scary as time went by in seven years, but he could see that the redhead changed as much as he thought he did, too. "My mum always told me tha' if a person grew up wantin' to please people most of the time even if they barely knew them, they end up hurting themselves because they lack the time in being hones' to themselves. That's how I'm told, we don't need approval from anyone to make ourselves happy, but then..." Then he looked down to the floor and shrugged, with a voice gradually dry, "But then, if you think being a Hufflepuff makes you like that, then I must've been an insufferable know-i'-all because I was a Ravenclaw... No matter how much I don' like those kind of people,"
