Outfit of the day:
Diana opened the window to let the owl, carrying the daily prophet in. "Hello." Diana said, giving the owl a piece of chicken. She opened the daily prophet and her knees went weak, nearly falling to the ground.
She stumbled to a chair and didn't take her eyes of the paper. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at the man that was one's her friend.
Sirius Black on the run.
The paper read, Diana couldn't breath for a few seconds. The owl looked at her curiously before he flew away.
Diana couldn't think straight, she couldn't feel anything, except for that sinking feeling in her stomach.
What is he going to do?
Where is Harry?
Will Harry be safe?
Did Remus see this?
Should I look for him?
Should I sent a message to Remus?
Will he come after me?
No of course he wouldn't.
Right..?
Diana shook her head, looking at her hands, they where shaking. She let out a shaky breath. She went upstairs, packed her trunk, grabbed Remi, her wand and her broom.
She performs a spell on her trunk so it would be lighter and took of on her broom, towards Hogwarts, she could barely speak, so Floo-powder wasn't an option.
When she arrived, she saw McGonagall in the hallway, who was quite shocked to see her. "Diana? What are you doing here?" She asked and Diana let out another shaky breath. "S-Sirius." She said and McGonagall eyes widened.
"Yes- yes I heard, that doesn't explain why you're here." She said and Diana just shrugged. She took a step forward, but collapsed.
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵
"She just needs some rest, it was a big shock, she'll be fine- oh look." Diana saw Madam Pomfrey and McGonagall at her bed in the hospital wing.
"Poppy? Why are you here? Shouldn't you be home?" Diana asked and she shook her head. "I came here for you, you've been out for 2 hours." She said and Diana looked at the ground a bit ashamed and to tired to say anything.
The two women left soon and Diana was left alone, she'd wish she wasn't, what if Sirius managed to get into the castle? Of course he wasn't there, Diana needed to calm down, but she just couldn't.
She just closed her eyes and tried to sleep. When she awoke, Madam Pomfrey was sorting her potions closet. "Hey, Poppy, may I go now?" She asked, Madam Pomfrey hesitated but then nodded.
"Yes, but be careful." She warned. "Will do!" Diana left the hospital wing and headed straight to the seventh floor, she wasn't going to hesitate, she's going straight in.
The door appeared and she opened it at once. She walked into the room, full of books, chairs, a couch and a fire place. Just like then, those beautiful times.
She sat down by the fireplace, letting the heat soak into her skin.
Diana had a free period, she knew Regulus had one to and she was looking for him, walking trough an empty hallway. Suddenly she yelped as she was pulled into a classroom by the arm.
When she looked up, she realised Regulus had found her instead. "Hello there." He said grinning. "You pull girls into empty classrooms often?" Diana asked, chuckling.
"Only if they are as beautiful as you." He says, kissing her nose. "To sad for you, I have a boyfriend." She turned around, as if walking away. Her grabbed her wrist and turned her right back. "Haha, very funny." He said and stole a quick kiss on the lips.
"Oh, I'm hilarious." She says. "Can't say the same about you though." She grins and he looks offended. "Some girlfriend you are." He says, poking her shoulder.
Diana snorted and leaned slightly against a table. "I missed you." He said honestly and Diana smiled at him. "I missed you to." She kissed him, and he kissed her back.
It was a passionate kiss and Diana now sat on the table she was leaning on, Regulus standing in between her legs, hands on her waist.
She had her hands behind his neck. Regulus pushed his tongue against her lips and she opened them, letting him enter.
They where so occupied with each other that they didn't hear the laughter coming from outside and the "quickly, in here!" Also went unnoticed.
Only when they heard a loud "what the fuck!" They stopped to turn their heads, immediately Regulus did a step back and Diana got of the table.
James and Sirius gaped at them while they just stood there awkwardly. "Uhm... surprise?" Diana said hesitantly, with slight humour.
"Really? Surprise? That's what you're going with?" Regulus asked sarcastically. "What did you want me to say? It's not like you where saying anything!" She shot back.
"Anything but surprise." He told her and she slightly rolled her eyes. "What about: tada, I'm fucking Regulus Black?" She suggested and he just facepalmed.
"Can you like say something, this is really awkward." Diana looked at her brother. "You're fucking my brother!?" Sirius asked loudly.
"Shut up! We don't want whole Hogwarts to hear you!" Diana shushed him. "You're fucking my brother?" Sirius whispered. "No, this is all your imagination." Regulus said and Diana laughed.
"I feel like you're not taking this seriously." James said and Diana shook her head. "I'm not, but he is." She pointed at Sirius and after taking a few seconds to proces it, James laughed at her joke.
"Don't laugh James! Be serious for a moment!" Diana said and this made James laugh even harder. "I am right here you know?" Sirius said.
"No, you're not. You're Sirius." Diana said, now even he and Regulus snorted. "Alright, but taking this seriou- Uhm, quitting the joke, let's take this serious for a moment... this is a thing?" James cut the laughter off.
"Well, yes." Diana shrugged. "For how long? I mean, you obviously suck at hiding because we found you." Sirius said and Regulus and Diana exchanged glances. "For about a year? It started right after the first party last school year." Diana said and their older brothers gaped at them.
"A YEAR!?" Sirius asked, looking from his brother, to Diana, to James, back to his brother again. "You know what? Fine, I'm out, do whatever you want, I don't even care anymore." James left trough the door, Sirius quickly followed.
"Damn, he's like a dog following James around." Regulus said and that was it for Diana and she broke out in laughter, Regulus himself not understanding the meaning behind his words.
Diana quietly laughed at the memory. She missed those three. She could just not get over the fact that Sirius betrayed everyone, there had to be more to it... right?
No, all the evidence was there, Sirius did it, who else would've?
⭑*•̩̩͙⊱••••✩••••̩̩͙⊰•*⭑
It was the first of September and Diana felt like shit. She hadn't come out of bed all day and Remi had been pulling her hair as if wanting her to go somewhere.
She suddenly shot out of bed, ran to the bathroom and puked. Great, she was sick. She made her way to the hospital wing and this made Remi stop pulling her hair.
When she got there, Poppy quickly laid her down. "You should've came sooner! You're burning up." She scolded and Diana chuckled. But Poppy gave her a stern look making her stop.
She wasn't allowed to attend the feast, she had to rest so she could teach the next day. Although disappointed, Diana agreed.

Outfit of the day:
Even though having three free periods, Diana woke up early and went into the hallway's to greet students. Even Malfoy said hi to her.
She had a small chat with Luna and Neville before ushering them to class. She then met with Harry, Ron and Hermione. Though Harry seemed troubled.
"Are you alright, Potter?" Diana asked with a smile. "Professor, you knew my father, right?" He asked and Diana nodded. "Yes, we where great friends in school, why?" She asked. "I wondered if you could tell me about him? No one really tells me anything." He almost whispered the last part.
"Of course, but not now, if you have time to come to my office after your lessons I can tell you everything you want." He agreed happily and told her he would be there today. She wished him a late happy birthday and then they walked away.
The halls where slowly starting to empty and there where only few students around. When Diana turned a corner, another person also did, on the other side of the hallway.
They both stopped in their tracks and stared for a moment, before Diana dashed forward and threw herself into Remus Lupins arms.
"I missed you so much." She sobbed quietly. He held her tightly. "I missed you to, Day." He murmured softly. "But- but Dumbledore said you wanted no contact with me." She said, pulling away, still sobbing.
"At first it didn't, but then after a few months I send a letter to you and you didn't answer. I thought it didn't arrive so I sent another one and this repeated a few times until I stopped." He told me and Diana thought for a moment.
"That's because I moved for a year, when I went back to the manor I threw a lot out, I probably didn't even know those letters where from you." She tells him, by now, a few students where curiously looking. He chuckled whipping her tears.
"When did you become a cryer?" He teased and Diana waved his hand away. "Since a while, after- you know..." she hesitated when she looked at the students. "Padfoot." She says and his eyes widen before casting them down.
"Hurry, go to your class!" Diana scolded the little crowd of students. They quickly hurried away. "What do you teach? I'll walk you to your classroom." Diana suggested and he already started walking.
"I give defence against the dark arts." He tells her. "Oh, right. Lockhart lost his memories, serves him right." She snickers. "And you give Astronomy I suppose?" He asks and she nods. "How do you know."
"Because you where always good at it, even better than-" he cut himself of.
"Sirius." She finished, a slight sadness in her voice. "Yes... Sirius." Remus then cleared his throat. "This is my classroom, Say, what lessons do you have today, Diana?" He asked curiously.
"Not much, Monday is a very calm day for me, only two lessons and Astronomy at midnight with the year sevens, though there are very few of them." She shrugged. "I've got Harry last period." He grins and Diana smiles brightly. "Cool! Have fun! See you at lunch!" She waved before heading out of the corridor.
She squealed happily, just as she thought life was getting bad, it took a happy turn.
"...Look, I'm not saying that James shouldn't ask the ravenclaw girl out, but Lily is finally starting to get the slightest of interest and he goes running to another girl!" Diana rambles as her and Alice are sitting in the clocktower court yard.
"Alice?" Diana questions, but Alice is just staring at something behind Diana. "Al?" She asks again, but response. She snaps her fingers in front of Alice's face and the girl sits up straight, her attention now back on Diana.
"Are you even listening?" She asks and Diana shakes her head but quickly interrupts herself. "Yes, of course I am, a-about uh, Sirius and that hufflepuff girl!" She quickly says.
"No, James and the ravenclaw. Whats behind me that's so interesting." Diana is about to turn around to look behind her but Alice quickly stops her. "Don't look!" She hisses. "Why not? You where." Diana pointed out.
She quickly turns around to see Frank Longbottom talking to one of his friends. "Oh, I see. Frank Longbottom huh? You tutor him in Herbology." Diana wiggles her eyebrows and Alice turns a shade of red.
Diana grins and waves at Frank. "Hey! Longbottom!" She calls and quickly pulls Alice along as she walks over. "Oh, hi, Diana." He says politely, though a bit confused.
"Alice accidentally drank a silencing potion, but she wanted to know if you wanted another Herbology tutor session and if yes, where?" Diana says, winking at Alice. "Oh, I'd like to yes. Maybe tomorrow at 3, in the library?" He looked at Alice who quickly nodded, a tat bit eager.
"Thanks, Frank. We'll be taking our leave now!" Diana said and the two girls hurried of. "Diana!" Alice whined when they where out of earshot. "Oh, you should thank me! I just got you free time with Longbottom!" Diana chuckles.
"Well- well yes but, it was embarrassing." She concludes and Diana shakes her head. "Not at all, he was really nice. He passed the test." She says and Alice gaped at her. "What test?" She asks.
"The 'are you good enough for my friend?' Test." Diana says and Alice grins. "You're unbelievable, Potter."
Diana softly chuckles at the memorie as she walks through clock tower courtyard. Heading to her office to wait till lunch arrives.
