Leighanne Maire Shepherd
Will I ever find him again?

Leighanne walked into ST Mungos she knew her friend was working here and was coming to meet him. Leighanne hoped he was here and he would be happy to see her as well. Leighanne was confirmed dead, her daughter was killed though, but Leighanne was treated in Amercia as she was totured into madness. Leighanne was giving the memory charm and she forgotten her name, Brian and Baylee. So for eleven months after the attack she lived with her parents and slowly got her memory back. She trained as a doctor and she decided to come back as she wanted to search John. The person she truely loved and before she went with Brian. Leighanne came to his and knocked. She heard him to say come and Leighanne walked into the office with a smile hello John she spoke in a happy voice.

John had been a different, man since Leighanne had been gone, and his usually neat office had papers everywhere and he was rushing in a hurry to sign the things that needed to be signed and throw away things.

He had been absent, checking on baylee's progress in school. Not that anyone knew he was doing it, or even why he was doing it. He just felt like it was his only way to be close to Leighanne again.

He tossed out papers when a knock came to the door,"Come in." His voice was unusually harsh as he leaned into his desk sighing. He hated visitors, because it was never who he wanted it to be. Well, not until today.

He heard her voice, thinking it was a trick to his ears he didn't look up. "What do you want," he asked before lifting his head and his eyes going wide. No, it was her. "I knew it," he breathed. He felt like a weight had been lifted off of him. "I told them all you were not really gone."

Leighanne Maire Shepherd
Will he ever admit his love for me?

Leighanne walked into the office, she was really shocked and doubled checked the door again. This can't be John she thought and looked at the man again. She didn't see his face, as her blue eyes were focus on the paper work everywhere. She did have the eagerness too start cleaning the office, but she stopped that. Looks like being the head isn't pretty she thought as ST Mungos was lot different too the muggle hospital she was working in the states where she have been for while.

What do you want, Leighanne was kind of shocked on the way John spoke. It wasn't the same guy she once knew and she looked down. I thought he would be glad she thought and was about too leaving again. Until she saw him lifting his head and she saw his handsome brown eyes. They were the reason she fell for him the first place. Her heart was racing again, as her love have returned seeing he was here again. Yeah but I haven't been well from the attack for while John. It took me a while too come back to London she spoke gently.

Grabbing one of the chairs she sat down on it. How have you been? And what's with the mess? She asked as she never saw him like this before. No one knew how she escaped from the Death Eaters. That was between Leighanne and someone who saved her.

John stood up, he couldn't be any happier. This was the thing he wished about. He always wanted her to walk in to his office once again, and now, here she was. He walked over, smiling and touched her arm softly. "Well if you need a place to stay, I have an extra room."

He wanted to bend down and kiss her, but wasn't sure how that would blow over with Leighanne and instead took his hand off of her and leaned onto the desk. "I was...out for a couple days..." He shook his head,"And I have been worrying about you since you disappeared...neglected work piles up after awile."

He wanted to tell her on how Baylee has been..very distant. But he was sure he'd seem like a stalker if he let her know he was watching over her son. So the things he had been doing..well that would have to stay a secret. "So..how have you..been doing Leighanne?"

He wanted to ask, who saved her, and defeat the annoying death eaters that took her from him. Not that she was ever really his. "Could you maybe help me organize this place a little?" He knew he needed all the help he could get.

Will he ever admit his love for me?

Seeing John again was like a dream come true for her. She have missed him so much. She hated when she had too leave him that weekend and when she found out she was pregnant was even more scary news she had too face with. As she touched her arm and smiled at her, she felt her heart racing like mad again. Oh John that would be prefect. But aren't you married? Of course Leighanne didn't know he ever married, since she left. Are you sure you can behave while I am there John? She asked with a giggle.

Looking up at him with his deep brown eyes. They were handsome and she loved his eyes. Still sitting on the chair and her legs were feeling like jelly. It was the same feeling she had when she bumped into him when she was thirteen really. Sometimes Leighanne wondered he ever knew she protected him charms and even sliped the answers too him whenever they had charms homework. Why was you away? Was you sick? She stood up and hugged him this time, rubbing his back. I am sorry too worry you. Did you hear about Brian? They killed him John... But why was you worried about me? Did you get my message when I left that weekend? She asked him and then sat back down.

Leighanne wondered Baylee was in Hogwarts now as he should be in his first year. She hoped he was well too as she missed him deeply. There wasn't a day gone by since she disappeared her heart missed him. Part her wanted too go and see him, but that might make the sitaution worst. So holding back she would wait until the school holidays come and she would be able too see him then. Her blue eyes were sparkling deeply for him as her health was back now. I am doing really good thanks John. Spending some time away in America too recover from the torture curse whcih the Death Eaters did too me she explained too him and yawned a little the same time.

Smiling and she got up from the chair which she have been sitting down. Of course I would help you clean this place up. Can't let you get messy now can I she tease and pushed him a little. John Sam is the one who saved my life. He might have been a total ass too you, but he was my best friend. He did in fact kissed me when you fell off the broom she explained and touched his hand gently smiling. I really missed you though she said as she got some of the paperwork and placed them in their proper piles, as his desk began too look like a desk now.

John looked at her and shook his head slightly, “I haven’t found the right one.” Well, he had found the one, she just had always been taken. She was never fully his, not until now, hopefully. He wanted her to know that he did want her, but he wasn’t sure how. “And I’m sure I can behave…if you want me too.” He smiled playfully and finished picking through a stack of paper and looked at her.

He had heard about Brian, and it was good news, Leighanne was the bad news, but now he knew she wasn’t dead. He was finally happy and hugged her back letting his hands rest on the small of her back. “I was watching over Baylee, while you were gone. I didn’t want him to get hurt like you, so I was at Hogwarts.” He sighed leaning his head in her head, “And I was worried because everyone thinks you are dead. And what message?”

John didn’t want to leave her site, not after being away from her for so long. She was here in front of him, and she probably didn’t want him back Who knew, maybe she did. “Well I am glad you are safe and okay and back to being you again.”

He smiled back at her, “I am grateful to have you to help me.” He was just glad now that he didn’t have to take so many days off, and his office wouldn’t look like this ever again. Leighanne was back, so Baylee was safe. That was all that mattered to him. “Well I’m forever grateful to Sam,” he said with a slight distaste to his words. It took in a deep breath, trying to not get mad at what she just said, and took her hand in his. “I missed you too Leighanne.

You showed me the world
And I been there since yesterday
You taught me how too break a heart
Heart... Heart... Heart
You taught me how too break a heart}

When John told her that he never got married she was shocked slightly, she thought he would have found someone as he was kind gently spirited man you can never hoped and wished for. Oh John. A handsome guy like you and gently personality, you soon find the right now I am sure. Maybe she is already here and you just don't know it yet she spoke softly. Leighanne simple had no idea that John still loved her, in fact she thought he had a mutel crush on her and it would fade away. Leighanne of cause still had feelings for him even while she was married, now that she was widower she was free too get o with her life. Well fun and games are allowed, if we are alone then that it. You want the same time as the weekend, well you just have too show me. You know that I would follow along. It's going too be nice in staying with you again she smiled and stroked his hand some more, wanting too do more than stroke his hand.

Of course Leighanne wished that Brian didn't have too die as he was human. She knew what he used too do to John. Kept on pricking at him pushing him too the point of making him upset. Leighanne didn't like that one bit and was hit during school by him, which she never said too anyone, especially to John. The last thing she wanted was a huge fight too break out and possible get John expelled from Hogwarts, since Brian had a very powerdful family. She loved his touch again, the love for him never died and she wanted too be with him for so long. Her body was riddled with scaring and buirses from the attack. Thank you... Cause John, there is something you need too know about him... When we were away on that weekend, I fell pregnant... John, Baylee is your son. He is yours she said as she placed her head against his forehead, smiling happily. I am sorry, I didn't mean too worry you. I left you my contact number and of course address, incase your owl was confused where I was. She smiled and gently stroked his cheek.

Being nearer John again was like a fairytale. She didn't know of course that he felt the same way as she did. Maybe he was still shy too ask. Those were the reasons she didn't say anything too him, as she didn't want too scare him or make it like she was desprated too have him. One thing she was certain about, she really glad too be back and see that he was a healer now too. Leighanne owed John big time as she was rubbish in potions and wouldn't be able too be a healer. She was happy that he gave her secert tutions and that's when she started too develop more than a crush towards him. From this day she was crushed too the fact he never asked her too that Yule Ball, that's when she got the idea that he didn't feel the same way. It's nice too be back she looked down as she was hiding the fact she was blushing.

It's the least I could do John. Just don't let it get into this mess again, or you might lose your position

[/color] she joked which was bad though she was never good at it. Not with John anyway. She then decided to come clean about something else. John they had too say I died in order too keep Baylee safe. The Death Eaters were really keen on him. Whatever Brian was up too it wasn't good. He can't know I am alive John, not until he is sixteen and able too protect himself. You are the only one know the truth I am alive. It's up too you to make sure Baylee is safe. He is your son afterall, but I never told him. I am sorry for that she explained and felt really bad. Also John I didn't like the kiss, I pulled away. Sam and I are just good friends she smiled, sensing that he didn't like the idea of being kissed by someone else. Squeezing his hand lightly she kissed it as she wanted to show her love the gentliest way how. I missed you since you left school. Then since the weekend. She wanted too tell him that she loved him, but she felt he would run away, shrug her off or just didn't feel the same way about her.
