At around 04.40 Diana came down and ignored all the questions James and Sirius asked her about Smith. She did sent the girls a glare though, because they could've been the only ones to tell on her.

She arrived at McGonagall's office and knocked on the door. "Come in." She heard the woman say. When she stepped in, there was someone else sitting on a chair opposite of McGonagall.

"Hey, Reg." Diana whispered when she sat down. "Hi." He whispered back. "So, you two will be putting books in the library on alphabetical order, you can stop when I come and get you." She stands up and walks away, but is stopped by Diana.

"Honestly professors, I did nothing wrong. Those bloody boys got me into trouble!" She says. "I don't want to hear it Miss Potter. Not only did you and your friends blow up Mister. Filch's office, you also skipped your charms class, now go to the library."

Diana heard McGonagall grumble about Regulus and her getting into detention again. Seeing they also had detention last week.

Diana sighed and she and Regulus headed to the Library. "So, why are you in detention?" She asked.

"I got into quite the argument with Binns. He sent me to Professor McGonagall and then you walked in. He let out a humourless laugh.

"Oh, why did you argue?" Diana asked curiously. "Meh, I'd rather not go into detail." He chuckled slightly and Diana shrugged. "I'd understand that, probably the most boring argument, I mean who would get into an argument with Binns." She teased.

"Says the one that skipped class to blow up Filch's office." He shot back. "I didn't do it! James dragged me in it the absolute prick he is!" Diana groaned.

"Yeah, sure." Regulus gave her an over dramatic suspicious look. "It's true!" She wacked his shoulder. "Alright! Alright! You don't have to hit me!" He laughed.

"Shh! We're almost at the library, I don't know what McGonagall will do to us if we get send out of there." Diana warns and they both giggle as they enter the library.

They quickly get to work and start sorting the books, both staying together and each doing one side, moving on when they are done, when the other takes a bit longer they help each other.

"Why don't the books just put themselves on the right shelves when you put them away, they floaty by themselves, is it that hard to also get on the right shelf?" Diana complains and she hears Regulus chuckle behind her.

"It appears it is." He grinned and she looks at him with a smile.

They're at a really small path, sorting the books, standing on the lower plank, Diana puts a book on its place when she suddenly falls. Regulus, acting fast, grabs her by the waist and keeps her standing.

"Thanks." She says. "No problem." They suddenly realise how close they are standing. They stand there for 1..2...3 seconds and when they are about to step away, they hear a gasp.

They turn to the sound and spot a first year with red ears, she quickly turns around and walks away. They step away and avoid eye contact. After a few moments they look at each other and silently laugh at what just happened.

"Poor girl." Diana whispers. "Traumatised for life." Regulus comments silently, making Diana giggle a bit to hard.

Regulus shushed her with a big grin, making her laugh a bit harder. He puts a hand over her mouth, muffling her giggles. "Honestly, Little, be silent." He chuckles.

Both of them are still silently giggling, not noticing the boy on the other side watching them. Diana licks Regulus' hand making him pull it away.

"Gross Diana!" He whisper shouted, she stuck her tongue out making him playfully roll his eyes.
