j.potter's POV

"I've ruined my favorite white school blouse." Diana said looking at her sleeves then back at me with a goofy smile. Merlin she's adorable. And then Peter came bursting through. "Dumbledore, Slughorn, Mcgonagalll and  Hooch want to see you." And Diana stood up and started unbuttoning her shirt.

"Everyone turn the fuck around that's my little sister." And we all turned around. "Diana why are you changing infront teenage boys." And then we heard her  blouse hit the floor. And she walked into our veiw to get another shirt then walked back to Amos and said, "I don't see Peter as anything romantic, Arthur is basically another brother, Sirius is more of a platonic soulmate and Remus, he's civilized and won't do anything."

"What about James?" Amos asked

"He's James, he's just broken up with a girl he's loved most of his life. I'm not worried." She said and I looked at Sirius' face about what Diana told me he bit his lip and his face grew sour. "But why are you changing ?" Amos asked.

"Hi Headmaster and Professors I'm going to deny I almost beat someone to death with their blood all over my blouse." She said and Remus laughed. "She's Decent now." Amos said and we turned back to her. "I'm really sorry about Lily, cheating on you mate." Peter said to me and I realized that I didn't tell him.

And he wasn't there at the fight. I looked over at Remus and Sirius who had been talking to Diana and asked Peter, "Yeah but I wish I would've known how long." I said to him. Because even at he fight Diana didn't announce the duration of Lily's unfaithfulness.

"Oh well the entire time and I'm sure she was sloppy about it too." Peter said and I couldn't believe it. How did he know? "Did you ever think so?" I asked Peter and he said what I wished he hadn't. "Oh yeah plenty of times, the fucking broom closet is proof enough." Peter caught them in the broom closet and didn't tell me.

"Thanks mate." I said and stepped closer to Ariana who was headed out her dorm but I grabbed her hand. "You aren't going alone." I told her and before she could go alone I led us to Dumbledore, walking hand in hand.

"Ah Miss Diggory we've been expecting you." Dumbledore said as we entered the room and she let go of my hand. But I walked in behind her and sat next to her. "Mr. Potter your attendance isn't necessary here." Mcgonagall said and I responded with, "Diana, defended my honor today." I said and I turned to look at her.

She played with her fingers and cracked her knuckles, counting the number of times the pads of her fingertips touched. "So I'll bet here with her, defending hers even if it means sharing a punishment." I said and looked away from her and back to Mcgonagall.

"Miss Diggory you beat Severus Snape into an unconscious state today is that right?" Dumbledore asked her and her nails dig into her skin. Her mouth opened to release stutters upon 'ums' and 'ohs' so from under the table I grabbed her hand.

"Sir, He called Lily Evans a mud blood." She spoke and Slughorn shook his head. "Such a shame, Evans and Snape are such a talented potions inclined pair." Slughorn spoke and Diana squeezed my hand. "What you did was very brave, Miss Diggory but I understand that Mr Snape was provoked." Dumbledore spoke.

"Sir-" and Diana cut me off. "Calling someone a derogatory slur is never justified by any reason or means, even if Potter had pushed him." She said and I rubbed my thumb around the knuckle of her thumb.

"Very Well but your punishments will be decided by your heads of house." Dumbledore said and walked out. "Diana for your actions of beating another Slytherin unconscious, I'm taking 50 points away from slytherin." Slughorn said.

"Mr Potter, I am taking 65 points away from Gryffindor for you starting this incident but I'm giving 15 points to gryffindor for your loyalty to your friend." Mcgonagall said but Diana and I gripped each other's hands more tightly at madam hooch.

"Both of you will be cut for your respective teams untill your match against each other." Madam hooch said and Diana and I looked at each other. "Now let's calm down-" Slughorn began.

"Let's- let's not go that far after all quidditch effects the whole School's morale and the players-" mcgonagall said, "Yes the kids- the players need stability. Slughorn added. I never quite realized how obsessed mcgonagall and slughorn were with this.

"Fine for a month both of you will lose Captain status AND player status. The game against you both will be moved from late April to mid-March. Am I understood?" Madam hooch asked.

"Yes"
"Yes ma'am"

"You are now dismissed." Madam hooch said I opened the door for Diana. "What the fuck are we going to do?" She asked me and held out her hand, as an unconscious decision as we walked.

"Well I'm going to put Sirius as Captain but I need a filler for his position." I said and looked at her. While holding my hand she was playing with the rings on the other. "I just don't know how practice will work I mean if their only conditioning for a month is the 2.5 seconds they last in bed than I give up." She said and I laughed.

"I'm going to put Regulus as a captain because he doesn't have an original thought when it comes to quidditch so I can use him as a conduit but my replacement was the person I just beat into a coma." She said and I slightly laughed.

"I'm going to tell me kids about that story one day. That's was amazing to watch." I said and watched her turn a reddish color, "Let's settle this the muggle way." I mimicked her and she nudged me. "You didn't have to do that by the." I said to her and she looked over at me. Her eyes softened and she simply said, "I'd do anything for you, James." And then she turned away to face where we were walking.

"I love you." I told her and looked at her. It wasn't even a plan or a thought that crosses my mind it just came out when I met her eyes. "I love you too, Prongs." She said and we walked to the great hall.
