After charms, Diana left to go to her muggle art lesson. On her way, she saw a small group of 5th year Gryffindor boys, one including Smith, the Gryffindor seeker.

Diana politely smiled at them. She didn't think anything of the small elbow bump one of his friends gave Smith then a small nod towards her.

The group started laughing silently. She just shrugged it off and kept walking.

"Potter, wait!" Diana turned around and noticed Smith catching up to her. "Hi, can I help you?" She asked with a smile.

"Yes- Uhm, we don't know each other quite well, but- I, I've always had a small thing for you and, I uh, I wondered if you wanted to do something together sometime." He gave her a sheepish smile and he had a hand behind his neck, seeming to itch it.

"As in a date?" Diana asked for confirmation. "Yes, yes as in a date." His cheeks turned a bit red. "Uhm, yeah sure, when do you have it in mind?" She asked.

"I was thinking maybe Wednesday, like in the evening, taking a stroll outside?" He said and smiled. "I-I know it's sounds a bit cheesy, but the stars look very beautiful in this season." He stumbled a bit over his words.

"Wednesday it is! See you then, Jonathan." She turned around and walked away. When she looked back for a moment, she saw his friends laughing and congratulating him.

She walked into her muggle art lesson and sat down next to Kiara, a 4th year Ravenclaw girl she always sat with in muggle art, they never really talked outside the class, but in the lesson, they had a good time together.

When it ended, Diana hurried to her common room and when she was inside, she quickly went up to the dorms and knocked on the fourth year girls dorm.

The door opened and Alice smiled at her. "Diana, its good to see you!" She greeted, opening the door entirely for the girl to step in.

"Diana! It's good you're here. Tell me, blue or red eyeshadow?" Marlene immediately spotted her. Diana looked at the girl for a moment, studying what would fit best.

"None, go with pink." She said finally. Marlene grinned and put the red and blue down.

"Not to be rude, you're always welcome, but why are you here?" Lily looked up from her potions book she was reading on her bed as Mary was brushing her red hair form behind her.

"I've just been asked on a date." Diana grinned and everyone dropped what they where doing. "Really? By who?" Mary asked excited. "Was it Sirius?" Marlene asked in an almost whisper.

"Oh, not him no, that's a story for maybe today, but now I've got something else for you." Diana grinned and they all shared confused glances and then looked back at Diana.

"So, I was just walking to my muggle art lesson, and then I walked past a group of fifth year Gryffindors-"

"Oh! It was Smith wasn't it? Smith asked you out!" Marlene said already and Diana nodded. "Yes, how do you know?" She asked.

"Because he always looks at you with this- well, admiring look in his eyes." She said and they all giggled.

"What did you say, then?" Alice asked the question everyone wanted to know. "I said yes. It's not like I like him or something, but I can give him a chance." She shrugged.

"Awe, that's so kind of you." Lily said. "Alright, now that this is done, I am honestly way more interested in your so called 'Sirius story' you mentioned." Mary interrupted.

"Oh, right, about that. Uhm, we kind of dated for a few months." Diana revealed and their mouths fell open as they all shared surprised glances.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Lily asked. "Well, first off, if Marlene knew, the whole school would know by the next day, we couldn't risk James finding out and I thought it unfair if you three knew but she wouldn't." Diana explained.
