When Diane's O.W.L results arrived over summer, she was pleased to see she'd gotten sufficient grades on the classes she needed to take at N.E.W.T level to become a healer. On top of that, she'd also gotten an Outstanding on History of magic. The only classes she didn't pass were Astronomy, Care of magical creatures, Divination and Ancient Runes. But this was solely because she'd put all her efforts in succeeding for the other classes. Despite not being able to think of anything other than Lysander those last few weeks of term, she'd done surprisingly well.
Lysander himself had gotten an Outstanding in nearly every subject, which was to be excepted. Diane now had more shared classes with her friends than ever. The six of them took Potions, Defence against the dark arts and Charms N.E.W.T level classes together.
On top of all that, the apparition classes were scheduled to take place earlier in the year. This way, the students had more time to prepare for the exam that took place at multiple points of time in Spring.
The first week of term wasn't even fully completed yet when the six of them were ordered to separate in their Charms and Potions classes. They'd made a habit of passing notes to one another. Lloyd and Lysander would always add on stupid jokes or remarks, which made Diane snort with laughter and Roxanne blush. The professors would not stand for it however.
Professor Lupin was different. He would teach them a spell at the beginning of class and leave the rest of the time for practice. This way, the teens didn't need to hide their ramblings in innocent notes but could just talk openly to one another. Lupin would even join their childish conversations occasionally and laugh just as loud as they did.
Autumn flew by in the blink of an eye. They'd learned the use of non-verbal spells. How to resist the imperius curse, which seemed extremely ironical in their situation. They learned about Amortentia, which smelled a bit too much of Parker to Diane's liking. They even learned human transfiguration and how to turn vinegar into wine.
Diane hadn't managed to Apparate after the first few lessons they'd already had by now. Roxanne and Lysander seemed naturals and Saoirse managed a few feet from her original spot but not much further.
Their calm rhythm of class after class was soon to be disrupted, however.

One cold and starless night, Diane awoke to the faint sounds of yelling. At first she though it was her roommate's cat, but as she looked up the cat lay snoring lazily at the end of the girl's bed.
She wrapped her cloak around her shoulders and sneaked out of her room, silently descending the stairs. Immediately there seemed to be something off. The doors to the common room stood wide open, even though there was nobody around who could've opened them.
