Part 11

It was almost time for Autumn term, letting the school have a week without work. Almost none of the kids would go home in this time, this included all of Diana's friends, with Mary as an exception.

Most Slytherins did head home for the holidays, but her Slytherins didn't. All having asked their parents to stay home and having their own reasons for wanting to.

She couldn't wait for the days after the autumn term because she would commentate Quidditch again, having decided to keep it up for another year before trying out for the chaser position. I

Diana had continued to hang out with the Slytherin group of five, starting to warm up to the three boys. Barty told her she could come the Saturday of the holiday so she could look out the window into the black lake.

All the other kids probably heading to hogsmeade and if she put on normal clothes, not many would spare her a second glance, probably not even watching her.

But now she still had to wait three days before the autumn term even started.

Diana just wanted to go to the library and study for her ancient runes test, but no, she had to bump into those same Ravenclaws she met on the train, now not wearing her heels and seeing they where taller then her.

They spotted her and immediately came over, Diana noticing the corridor was awfully empty.

"Why hello there, Potter." One of them grinned while looking down at her, Diana mentally cursing herself for not having her wand with her.

"Could you like move? I don't feel like talking to you." She tried walking past them, but they blocked her path.

"I don't think we can, princess." The other said cockily and Diana huffed. "I thought Ravenclaws where supposed to be smart but you don't even have the brains to move." She said wittily.

"Now you listen here." He was about to grab her arm when she took a step back and slapped away his hand. "Don't touch me, arsehole!" She glared daggers at him.

She noticed a small cut on his hand and blood was slowly appearing. She looked at her hand and her one of her rings was turned around, it having left the cut.

It wasn't intended but Diana was quite proud of herself for it, but they weren't.

"You bitch!" He shouted and Diana winced slightly and almost gasped when she saw his hand being raised to slap her in the face. Before it could hit her, it was stopped.

"I wouldn't do that if I where you."

She looked to her right to see Regulus and her breath hitched. He was holding the wrist of the boy and she noticed that they were about the same length, but Regulus looked far more intimidating.

"Why do you care, Black!" He pulled away his hand, still having confidence since he was older, but Diana heard the fear in his voice.

"I don't think that's any of your business. Now you better scram if you know what's good for you." Regulus' voice was cold and harsh.

The two of them tried to keep up the cool act. "Whatever." They huffed and walked away.

When they where out of sight, Diana turned to Regulus. "Thank you, Black." She smiled at him and gave her a small smile back.

"No problem, Blackwood and Taylor are asses, always bothering Pandora." He glared at the spot where they disappeared. "She told me what you did that day on the train, we all appreciate it." He turned to her with the smiled back on his face.

"Where are you headed?" He asked and Diana shrugged. "Just the library, I wanted to study for ancient tunes, I have a test in Friday." She explained.

"Shall I come with you?" He asked and Diana looked him up and down, he didnt have a bag and there wasn't any books in his arms.
