"What is it?" Harry asked. "What is what?" Ron asked as he looked at the carriages, trying to figure out what Harry was questioning. "That, what's pulling the carriage?" Harry rephrased. Hermione turned to Diana, who just shrugged. "Nothings pulling the carriage, Harry. It's pulling itself like always" Hermione told Harry.

Harry walked back slowly as he still observed the invisible creature. "I'm going mad" Harry muttered. "You're not going mad. I can see them too. You're just as sane as I am" a dreamy and soft voice said. 

Harry and Ron starred at the girl with long, blonde, curly hair. The Golden Trio, Diana, and Neville got on the carriage with the blonde girl. Diana found the blonde girl to be different and she liked that. Meanwhile the other four tried staying the farthest away from the blonde. 

"Everyone this is Loony Love-" Hermione began but was cut off and corrected herself, "Luna Lovegood". 

It was clear to Diana that Luna noticed the "Loony" part. "Luna Lovegood? As is Xenophilius's daughter? I haven't read many Quibbler articles but I've heard they are fascinating" Diana said, "Everything the Quibbler writes is rubbish and mad if you ask me" Hermione said. 

Luna glared at Hermione. "Did you not hear her? My father is the publisher and editor of the so called rubbish. I do not appreciate the rudeness towards it. If you don't like it then don't read it. No need to be disrespectful" Luna told Hermione, her voice becoming rather harsh and no loner soft and dreamy. 

Hermione starred down at her lap, not knowing what to say, Harry and Ron exchanged a look subtly, Neville hugged his plant and remained silent. "That's an interesting necklace" Diana broke the silence. "It's a charm actually. Keeps away the nargles" Luna said, her voice regaining is softness.

Hermione's eyes widened and she starred at Diana. "What's a nargle?" Ron asked as the carriage began moving. "I have no idea" Hermione replied.

Harry hadn't said a thing the entire ride which got Diana slightly worried. "What's wrong?" Diana asked rather quietly as they entered the castle. "Nothing" Harry lied, Diana was obviously not convinced so Harry added, "I just have a feeling that from here on out everything will be different... worse. If possible". 

"Different for the worse, maybe. But it could also be for the better" Diana said trying to act optimistic even though on the inside she was worried sick for Bonnie and now for what would happen at Hogwarts this year. 

"Who is that pink abomination?" Diana muttered. "She works at the ministry, works for Fudge. She was at my hearing. Voted against me" Harry told Diana. "That makes me dislike her already" Diana mumbled, Harry didn't hear that bit and turned his attention back to the front of the Great Hall.

Diana had been with Ginny in the common room. The two had been discussing Quidditch, even though Diana had never attempted the game. Ginny was brilliant at the game even though she didn't try out for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Diana french braided Ginny's beautiful red hair while they spoke. 

The room suddenly got quiet. Diana and Ginny turned around to see Harry walking in the common room. Everyone starred at him as if he had three heads or simply glared at him. "Dean, Seamus, good holiday?" Harry asked trying to break the awkward silence. "Alright. Better than Seamus's anyway" Dean said.

"My mum didn't want me to come back this year" Seamus said abruptly, as he threw the newspaper he was reading moments ago on the coffee table. "Why not?" Harry asked clearly unamused. "Um, let me see... because of you" Seamus answered.

"I don't think Harry had anything to do with your parents not wanting you to come back. That's a you problem, not Harry's. You realize that, right?" Diana said as she didn't feel like staying silent while Seamus tried bashing her best friend right in front of a full common room. 

"No, no, it is because of him" Seamus told Diana. "How?" Diana asked as she crossed her arms. "The Daily Prophet's been saying a lot of things about him and Dumbledore as well" Seamus said. "Oh, please, don't tell me your mom believes them?" Diana and Harry said at the same time.

"Well, no one was there the night Cedric died" Seamus told Harry. "Well, then you should read the Prophet like your stupid mother it'll tell you everything you need to know" Harry shot back. 

"Don't you dare talk about my mother like that" Seamus said. "I'll go against anyone who calls me a liar" Harry snapped at him. 

Ron the barged in the room. "What's going on in here?" Ron asked as he looked at Seamus then Harry. "They're mad" Seamus said and pointed at Harry then Diana. "What did you just say about my best friends?" Ron asked rather angrily. 

"They. Are. Mad" Seamus said spaced out. "Do you believe the rubbish that's he's going on about You-Know-Who?" Seamus asked Ron, who was now beside Harry. "Yeah, I do" Ron said firmly, Seamus scoffed and rolled his eyes. 

"Anyone else got a problem with Harry or Diana?" Ron asked and looked around. "No one gives a damn about Bennett. No one even knew she existed until she started hanging around you two and Hermione" Seamus said, earning a punch in the face from Ron. 

Fred instantly shot up and held his younger brother back. "You've all gone insane" Seamus muttered. "You mess with one of them and you mess with all of them. Don't make the same mistake twice, Finnigan" Fred told Seamus. 

Harry stormed upstairs not wanting to get more involved in this whole situation. Fred let Ron go to chase after him and then walked over to Diana. "Don't listen to Seamus. He's just frustrated right now" Fred told Diana. "I stopped listening to him right after Ron entered the room. I really could care less. I just don't want Ron getting in trouble for hitting him" Diana answered.

"Can you please become my adoptive sister? I need one and you're amazing" Ginny told Diana. "There's already a handful of Weasleys. No need to have more" Diana answered. "Fine, you can be an honorary member of the Weasley family" Ginny said.

"Alright, that works" Diana said. "There is no need for a copy of Ginny" Fred shook his head, earning glares from the girls. He then laughed and walked back over to George and Lee. 

A/N- This chapter was somewhat short. My bad, sorry. But the next few chapters should be longer, I swear. I also did addd some stuff in for obvious reasons... those reasons being: I thought I'd make the story more interesting. But mostly everything happened like in the movie. I'll add some of my own "scenes" in later chapters. 

Also for anyone wondering (no one's wondering) Diana and Harry finally start having a thing in the next few 2-6 chapters... My story is going to be pretty long seeing as I've gone through thirty three chapters and we are only just starting year five.
