47| Make up and make out

Harry had gone to Dumbledore's office earlier that night. While Ron, Hermione, and Diana watched Friends, which Diana had them hooked on since fourth year. About an hour or so later Harry cam in through the portrait hole. "What so called wise knowledge did Dumbledore hell you?" Ron asked Harry. 

"He showed me a memory" Harry said rather blankly. "Of what?" Diana asked, "Tom Riddle" Harry answered. "Why exactly?" Hermione asked suspiciously. 

"Apparently Slughorn has something Dumbledore wants but he won't give it up easily so he wants me to... honestly I"m not quite sure what he wants me to do. He said Slughorn was going to "collect" me. I asked if I should let him do that and Dumbledore said yes" Harry explained. 

"Collect you? What are you? A barbie doll" Hermione mumbled, as Diana let out a slight laugh, neither of the boys heard them though. 

A little while had past and Diana had been reading Alice and Wonderland while Harry and Hermione worked on homework. Ron had fallen asleep on the couch with his parchment in hand. "How he even passed his O.W.L.s last year is beyond me" Hermione shook her head at the red head.

"We're about done here. We can finish the conclusion tomorrow" Hermione said as she flung a pillow at Ron to wake him up, he ended up rolling off the couch and almost crushed Diana in the process. 

"Watch where you are falling. I'm 5'4 I don't need someone who's a foot taller than me crushing me to death" Diana laughed as Ron rolled his eyes and got up and followed Hermione. 

"I think I'm going to get going as well. It's late and I don't want to be late to class on the second day of school" Diana said as she got up off the floor. "Good night" Diana said and began walking towards the staircase.

Harry was about to say "good night" but something over came him. 'Oh, fuck it' Harry thought.

Diana felt Harry's hand grab her wrist and before she could even process what was going on Harry had crashed his lips onto hers. She didn't exactly hesitate to return the favor and the next thing she knew her back was against the wall and the two had been making out passionately. 

Harry finally pulled away and starred at the girl he had fallen for. "I've been dying to do that for months now" he finally said. "I have too" Diana said, a smile forming on Harry's face. 

"So just to be clear, you forgive me for my stupid mistakes?" Harry asked carefully. "Would I be making out with you if I hadn't?" Diana asked, "fair enough. But I still want to say, I really am sorry. I-" Harry didn't get to finish that sentence before she kissed him to had him shut up.

"Let me do the rambling from here on out, okay?" she asked. He didn't answer her instead thought about what he was about to say for a moment. "Harry, are you-" she got cut off when harry blurted out "I'm in love with you".

Before Diana got a chance to reply Harry quickly said, "I am just now realizing that was the worst way to say it and I should have waited until we officially got back together but I couldn't stop thinking about you over the summer and I was following advice Sirius gave me before everything happened. I'm sorry?".

"You're sorry for being in love with me?" Diana asked in a confused manner. "Yes" Harry said without thinking. "No" Harry corrected, "no" Diana repeated. "Yes" Harry nodded, "No wait. I meant yes as in no I'm not sorry for being in love with you".

"I love you too" Diana said. Harry starred at her almost in disbelief. "You could stare at me blankly or you could kiss me again. Option's yours" Diana said. "I'll take option two" he told her as he began kissing her again. They two found them selves on the couch, where Diana had been straddling Harry's lap as the two continued making out.

"Mother fucker!" Ginny groaned as she instantly turned around so she wouldn't see her friends making out on the couch. "Hi, Ginny" Diana sighed slightly as she stood up. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt... that" Ginny said.

"Then why did you?" Harry asked rather bluntly. "Rude much, Potter? And if you must know I was coming down here since I couldn't sleep" Ginny said. "No chance in hell I'm going to sleep after seeing that" Ginny shook her head.

The next day it had been Quidditch tryouts for the Gryffindor team. Ron was trying out once more this year seeing as he quit halfway through fifth year. Hermione and Diana sat in the stands and were talking amongst themselves while Harry tried giving instructions. 

The Gryffindor team was talking and laughing over him while Ginny stood next to him and rolled her eyes and Ron stood front and center and starred at the grass below him not knowing if his choice to tryout was the smartest.

"Shut it!" Ginny shouted at the team, which finally got their attention. "Thanks" Harry mumbled, Ginny nodded and looked at the stands. Diana noticed Ginny kept glancing at the stands and scanned subtly for who she was looking for. Ginny had been looking for none other than Luna Lovegood.

"Think you could introduce me to your friends?" Cormac asked Ron after a little while. "Excuse me?" Ron asked. "Bennett and Granger. I wouldn't mind getting on a first name basis with either of them" Cormac said. 'Over my dead body' Ron thought as Cormac walked away.

Cormac keep doing well as Keeper, and every time someone cheered him on he would wink at Diana or Hermione, which they both found irritating and nauseating. 

Ron was struggling a bit but was doing fairly well. Ginny on the other hand was nailing it she was amazing at Quidditch, probably better than the whole team combined, not that Harry would admit that. 

Diana could seen Luna's interest peak every time she saw Ginny. She stood up and walked over to Luna, leaving Hermione alone. "Hi" Diana said as she sat next to the blonde girl. "Brilliant, isn't she?" Luna asked dreamily. "Ginny? Oh, obviously. She's the best Quidditch player I've ever seen. Don't tell Harry I said that" Diana replied.

"So, are you and Harry officially back together?" Luna asked. "Why would you ask that?" Diana asked, "after what Ginny told me she saw last night I would have assumed so" Luna said. "Ginny, that little gossip girl" Diana laughed a bit. 

When Diana looked back at Hermione she had a grin plastered on her face, which she hid right as she noticed Diana. Luna seemed distracted, mainly by Ginny, so Diana walked back over to Hermione. "Cheating, now are we?" Diana asked to which Hermione looked guilty but nodded slightly.

"I used my magic to help Harry cheat in a tournament... I think you helping Ron cheat in tryouts is perfectly doable" Diana whispered to Hermione, which somehow made Hermione feel better.

Tryouts soon came to an end and Harry was pleased to inform Ron that he made the team. "I already dislike that Cormac guy" Ron muttered. "Why? He was a good player" Harry shrugged. "He was hitting on both Hermione and Diana the entire tryout. Winking at them, blowing kisses at them, or simply starring at them" Ron said in a disgusted tone.

Harry clenched his jaw and glared at Cormac as he walked away. "You're awfully quiet now" Ron noticed. "No one plans a murder out loud, Ron" Harry told him, to which Ron nodded in agreement.
