inimicos amantes || Marauders Era || R.A.B

Part 37

That same day:

Lily Evans, please don't fear, because, James Potter is here." He ran, jumped over the table and made a bow in front of her. "Will you go on a date with me?" He grinned and she rolled her eyes. "No." She flicked his forehead.

The rest of the marauders walked after him, Peter chuckling slightly. "James, for the thousandth time, you're not allowed to go to hogsmeade with us!" Diana pushed him away. "But whyyy." He whines and Diana rolled her eyes.

"I told you, it's a girls trip." Diana said and Sirius smirked. "That's sexist, Potter. I am for gender equality and you as a girl are denying us males." He said dramatically.

Marlene gasped "your a male? I never would have thought." Sirius gave her an offended look as everyone else laughed. "That's harsh, even for you, Mckinnon." He said and then turned to Diana.

"Why can't we come on your trip, we will be nice." He pouted. "No, besides, Pandora and Dorcas are coming too, we would be to big of a group!" Without giving them time to protest, the girls left trough the portrait hole.

Outside, Pandora and Dorcas where waiting for them. It was a bit awkward at first, but soon, all the girls got allong. Alice and Pandora where talking endlessly about stuff the others had no clue about and Dorcas and Marlene where hitting of well as always.

Lily was teaching Diana and Mary what rock, paper, scissors was because she was shocked, even offended to know they didn't know what it was. Apparently it was some muggle game, often used with bets.

It didn't take long until they arrived and they all climbed out of the carriage with smiles plastered across their faces. "Where to first?" Diana asked. "Honestly, Diana, what kind of a question is that?" Mary gave her a look.

The seven of them walked into honey dukes, Diana bought a few sweets for herself and some chocolate for Remus, she knew it would be a battle as he would always refused to keep it, but in the end she always won.

At the register, Dorcas was about to pay but Marlene told her it was alright and she'd pay for her.

Diana proceeded to tease the girl about this the whole entire way towards the three broomsticks. "Oh shove of Day, I was just being nice." Marlene pushed her slightly making the girl laugh.

They all had some butterbeer and a good time, on their way back to the carriages they saw Barty, Evan and Regulus. The latter seemed to quickly hide something behind his back.

Diana and Pandora waved at them and Dorcas was to busy with Marlene to spot them.

Back at the castle they headed for the gryffindor common room and snuck Pandora and Dorcas in. They ate their sweets and all gossiped as they now had access to what happened behind closed common rooms.

"You are telling me that those two first years are actually dating? I'm telling you, that will be toxic as fuck- they will definitely start to hate each other." Mary said after hearing Dorcas out.

"Oh, they are already having problems, it's very funny honestly, seeing two eleven year olds fight is incredibly amusing." Dorcas chuckled. "Though, that girl isn't one to mess with, bloody hell, did you see the way she lashed out at him the other day?"

Dorcas looked at Pandora who nodded. "She should really take a calming fraught, it would do her good, maybe I can talk to her about it." She said and Diana chuckled. "Let's leave them to it alone, Dora." She said.

The evening continued and the girls decided to skip dinner as they had punched rather late, they also ignored the marauders who had come in to disturb their peace.

Eventually the gossip stopped and the girls all started different conversations and activities.

Diana was sat on the ground, Alice behind her on the couch, braiding her hair. Dorcas and Marlene sat next to each other and they at one point, Dorcas winked at the blonde who turned a strawberry red, making Dorcas laugh.

Diana slightly bumped Alice and nodded towards the girls. The two of them giggled and Marlene glared at her friends.

Lily and Pandora where going over their potions homework together, having found out that both of them adored the class. Diana laid her head back, this was the life, she hoped it would last forever.

"Diana, head up, I can't braid this way." Alice said and Diana quickly shot up again.

Later on the girls where sneaking Pandora and Dorcas back out when Pandora seemed to remember something. "Regulus told me, to tell you, to meet him at 8pm." She whispered in Diana's ear and a grin spread across her face.

When it was time, Diana went up to the seventh floor and walked into the come and go room. Regulus was already there, reading a book and he stood up when he saw her.

Diana was walking through the hallway, alone, only few students around her. Suddenly there where hands over her eyes. "Guess who?" A voice asked and Diana chuckled. "Hi, Barty." He walked next to her, swinging an arm around her shoulder.

"What are you up to, Ana?" He asked, not giving a damn about the weird stares they where receiving. A Slytherin with a gryffindor? Oh so curious the students at Hogwarts are. "Nothing much, just heading to my transfigurations class. What about you?" She asks, turning a corner.

"I've got a free period, I was looking for Reg actually, then I saw you and I supposed he would be with you, he never stops talking about you now that you're together and said the L word ya know?" He grins and Diana tries whacking his shoulder, blushing furiously.

"But you haven't seen him?" He laughs, dodging Diana's whack. "Nope, haven't seen him since lunch, and he only waved at me then." She shrugged. Diana and Regulus weren't planning to become a secret couple, but they somehow did.

They decided to keep it to themselves for a while. Just because of his parents and her brother. Maybe even his brother aswell. His parents would never approve, he told her he didn't care, but she know he did, she knew he was scared.

She didn't mind, of course he would be scared, she would worry if he wasn't. Diana had seen with her own eyes what Walburga and Orion would do to their kids, the bandages she had to wrap around Sirius' chest and arms. She didn't want to let that happen to Reg.

"Did you do something wrong? Is he giving you the silent treatment?" Barty asked curiously and Diana shook her head giggling. "No, I was with James, of course he isn't going to come over!" Diana bumped against him and he did the same right back at her.

Both of them almost fall to the ground as they laugh. Barty still had his arm around Diana's shoulder when Regulus appeared behind them. "So, we're stealing girlfriends now, are we?" They both yelped and turned around, Barty freeing his arm from Diana's shoulders.

"Oh, haha, so funny Reg." Diana fake laughed making Barty actually laugh. Regulus kissed Diana's nose. "I know, I'm hilarious." Barty walked Regulus and Diana to their transfigurations class and waved at them as McGonagall closed the door.

They sat trough the lesson, which was mostly McGonagall explaining, so one of the boring ones.

Sadly enough, the next lesson was history of magic. When the two of them entered the classroom, Evan and Barty where already there, Barty backwards on his chair so he could talk to Evan behind him.

Diana sat down next to him and Regulus sat behind her with Evan. "Barty, if you fall, I am not taking you to the hospital wing." Diana said as the boy waggled with his chair.

"Calm down, Ana, I'm not falling." He waved her off. Soon enough, Binns arrived and the lesson started. They sat trough the most boring lesson ever before they could finally leave.

"I just don't understand why they don't get someone else to teach history of magic!" Diana complains as they walk out. "Well, it's probably hard to sack a dead guy." Evan shrugs.

"I go left here, Herbology, I'll see you guys later." Diana waved. "See you at dinner!" Barty says and she gives him a look. "See you at dinner!"
