Chương 39: Back at Hogwarts Once Again
Once back home, Louis and Justin happily welcome Leonidas to their humble abode, which in turn made Natalia extremely confused on why a lion was in their house.
" Justin dear, a word. " She grits out with a smile on her face as she proceeds to pull her husband by the year to a separate part of the house.
" So! We've got like..." Louis checks the grandfather clock in the room, " Nine..? Hours left before I have to leave for Hagwarts. "
' Shouldn't you be heading to bed right now Louis? ' Leonidas asks, " Sleep? Haha! Hilarious. I've got a couple of things to check up on while I'm still home, so I'll be shaving off a good four hours of sleep. "
" In your dreams Louis, come on, to your room and sleep. We all know how you get when you don't get enough sleep. "
Natalia says from the entrance as she proceeds to bring a sleep deprived Louis to his room.
Five minutes later and Natalia comes back down to address the lion in the room. " Right then. " She begins.
" Justin told me about what happened, but I'm afraid we don't have any last minute guest rooms prepared. " She informs sadly as she tries to think of a temporary solution.
" He could sleep with Louis for the night. " Justin suggests from the entrance looking worse for wear since the lion last saw him.
" I suppose you could sleep with Louis for the night since you'll be heading back to Hogwarts with him tomorrow. " Natalia gives in and signals for Justin to lead him to their son's room.
" Relax and make yourself at home, tomorrow's going to be a busy day. " The father tells the lion after making sure that his son was asleep.
When the door was closed, and the room was dark at last. Leonidas could relax at last and think about all that's happened to him in the last two weeks, and how weird it has been.
' Though with a boy like this, I suppose things won't be the same again. ' Leonidas remarks to himself as he lays down and enters the dream world peacefully.

" LOUIS WAKE UP, WE OVER SLEPT AND ARE GOING TO MISS THE TRAIN AGAIN. " Justin yells out hurriedly as he runs around the house looking like a madman.
" WHAT?! " Louis exclaims in horror as he looks at the clock to make sure he was actually late. And boy was he late.
" Leonidas, get up! The Hogwarts Express leaves in FIVE minutes!! " He nudges the slumbering lion as gently as he can in his panicky state, and heads off to get ready.
" Dad! Help me wake Leonidas up!! " Louis hollers in the bathroom, " Kind of busy at the moment! " Justin replies running around the living room.
" I'll wake him up so stop screaming! " Natalia cuts in as she heads up the stairs to wake up the lion.
" It's too bloody early in the morning for this. " She mutters to herself as she opens Louis' bedroom door.
" Leonidas? " She gently calls the name nudging the lion's body and receives no response.
" Wake up or Louis is leaving without you. " She states coldly, successfully waking the lion up. " I'm kidding. " She laughs " Not really, " She flatly says, " You have three minutes before they apparate to the train station. "
In two minutes and thirty seconds flat, Leonidas was waiting for Louis and Justin with his belongings beside him.
" I thought you were still asleep. " Louis says as he greets the lion. " Your mother scares me. " the lion simply states, to which Justin overhears and agrees to.
" Alright then, now that everything is ready, we've got less then ten seconds to send you off to Hogwarts or we'll end up having to ask Gideon for a ride. " Justin states half-jokingly as he takes a hold of Louis' hand.
When the two reach the train station, there was barely enough time to say their goodbyes and board the train as it was already on the verge of leaving.
" Phew! " Breathing a sigh of relief, Louis slumps into his seat in their empty compartment while Leonidas stretches out on the seat opposite him.
' Wake me up when we get there. I'm thoroughly and completely done with the day as it is. ' Leonidas yawns and rests his head on his arms, falling asleep in seconds.

Arriving at Hogwarts with a lion by his side, was honestly not something they'd thought Louis would do when he came back from his holiday.
" Hi guys! So, what did I miss while I was away? " The boy cheerily asks while the lion looks over them with a hidden gleam of danger in them.
" What happened to us? What happened to you when you were gone for those two weeks! Louis, are you certain that you actually went to Egypt with your dad? " Richard says as he shakes Louis by the shoulders.
" Some thing's happened here and there, and I got to meet Leonidas while I was at it. Leonidas, meet Ann, the one who's shaking me is Richard, and the boy standing behind them is Draco " He says through the shaking.
" There is Fred and George but I don't really know where they are sixty percent of the time, but you'll meet them soon enough. " Richard finally let's go of Louis' shoulders and turns to the lion.
" Nice to meet you. Please don't blow anything up to the best of your abilities, it'd be very much appreciated. " Richard happily greets Leonidas sending out all his stress signals as much as he can.
" Please don't terrorise the students in this school whether it be on purpose or on accident, because we have enough on our plate as it is with the giant bloody Basilisk in the school. " It was clear as day that Annie was filled with stress.
' Got it, no blowing things up, or terrorising the students. You know, if I think about it, everything said sounds like what you would do. ' Leonidas says as he looks to Louis.
" I may or may not have blown up the quidditch field once or twice during a late night of potion experimenting, which may or may not have caused me to act like an zombie and terrorize the students due to lack of sleep. "
" Do you see what I'm living with here? " Draco says as he flings his two arms at Louis to emphasise his day to day life to the lion.
' Unfortunately I do. ' Richard snorts at the reply.
