Small fact:
I based small character traits Diana has of of myself, this is because I understand what it's like so I can write it better, an example of this is pulling at my skin (mostly lips) until it bleeds so I have lollipops to distract me, and yes, cherry is my favourite flavour.
"Diana, wait up!" Pandoras voice sounded and when the girl turned around she saw she was accompanied by Regulus, Evan, Barty and Dorcas. "You seem rather irritated, got out on the wrong side of the bed?" Barty teased and she elbowed him.
"I'm not irritated." She grumbled and the Slytherins shared looks. "Yes, and Barty is completely sane, what's bothering you?" Dorcas asked the girl and she rolled her eyes.
"It's nothing, leave it alone." She snapped and then her eyes widened. "Sorry, I didn't mean to yell." She quickly apologised.
"alright, now I'm really confused, what is going on?" Evan asked, turning serious. "nothing! it's just-" She sighed, cutting herself off. "what? It's just what?" Evan pushed. "Sirius is just being a prick lately, and it's really ticking me off that he thinks everything is fine when he apologizes to me."
"Sirius being a prick? nothing new really." Regulus said, rather annoyed. "Reg." Pandora hissed with a warning glare. "What? It's true!"
"what did he do now, then?" Dorcas asked curiously. "oh, he got mad at me for choosing Reg over him or Jamie." She said annoyed and the others either groaned or visibly rolled their eyes. "oh, he needs to get over himself!" Dorcas exclaimed irritated.
"yeah, well, fuck Sirius, we are headed back to our dorms, are you coming?" Barty grinned and Diana gave him a look "Haven't you. skipped enough classes this year?" she asked and he shook his head no, not waiting for another response and pulling her along to the common room.
"You're all going to get in so much trouble." Diana said as she sat down on one of the beds in the boys dormitory. "Don't worry about us, babe, we'll manage." Barty said, throwing his bag somewhere in a corner.
Regulus raised his eyebrows at the boy and Evan sighed. "Don't mind it, they've started it a few days ago when Day was in the hospital wing." He pointed out making the girls chuckle.
"I just want to say that I am going to potions next period, I mean, it is rather important, not to forget I already skipped with you guys last week, I don't want to get on Slughorns bad side." Pandora said worried.
Barty groaned and Dorcas threw a pillow at her. "Don't even start!" She said and the boy laughed. "What? We all know she's not going for the reason she says she's going." Barty pointed out.
"What? Yes I am!" Pandora defended. "Lovegood," Evan said in a teasing, singsong voice making the others laugh. "What? No! Xenophilius is just a friend!" She said.
"A weird one at that." Barty pointed out. "Tell me about it, have you read that 'quibler' he writes?" Dorcas agreed. "Oh! I have, I really wonder what's going on in his head." Diana joined in.
Pandora pouted giving them a sad look. "Hey! Guys, don't be mean, he's Dora's friend." Regulus intervened. "Oh, do you like him too?" Evan chuckled. "No! I'm just saying you are upsetting Pandora." He pointed out and the group looked at the girl, their smiles dropping.
They immediately all apologised to the girl who had tears in her eyes. "Why are you all so mean to him?" She asked and Diana sighed. "We don't mean to be like that, Panda, we're sorry, we are all happy you have found a good friend in him." She said and the others quickly agreed.
Pandora gave them a look and Dorcas decided to be the one to ask it. "How do we make it up to you?" She questioned and a grin formed onto the dreamy girls face. "You can join me in potions next period." She said and the group groaned and exchanged looks.
"Fine, fine, we'll go with you." Barty grumbled and Pandora smiled happily. "What about Diana? She can't come, Madam Pomfrey forbade it." Evan said.
"Oh, Reg will stay with her, he was the only one being nice after all." Pandora said and the other three gave the couple envious looks as they smiled.
"I'll buy you butter beer on the next Hogsmeade trip to make it up to you, then." Diana said and just like that, the deal was made.
After about half an hour, everyone but Regulus and Diana left to go to their potions class. "How's your head?" Regulus asked and she shrugged. "Quite alright, hurts only a little, I don't think it'll last that long anymore." She admitted.
"Meaning that you'll come to the party next week?" Regulus asked and she sighed, rolling her eyes. "Yeah, fine, whatever." She said and he laughed, leaving his chair to join her, sitting on his bed.
The spent the morning cuddling and reading, until Diana fell asleep. Regulus laid as still and silent as possible with his arms wrapped around her waist, and eventually he fell asleep too.

That evening, Diana walked back into the common room, and of course, as if it where planned, she bumped into Sirius who was on his way out.
He gave her a sad glance and she stopped walking, making him turn to her. "One last chance, don't screw it up, Black." And she entered the common room.

The week passed by rather quickly, and soon enough, the quidditch match began. Diana stood cheering in the crowd with the girls, Dorcas and Pandora having joined them too.
The boys where stubborn, saying they only supported her, so they where back in the Slytherin crowd.
Gryffindor had won, and not even by a little. Obviously they had a party afterwards, and they all had a blast.
"Come on, Didi, it's just one cup!" James said and she pushed it away. "Piss off Jamie, I'm not drinking!" She said and he gave her a look. "We just won our match! Come, celebrate, just this one cup, you won't get drunk of one cup." He laughed and she pursed her lips, thinking back to that night.
"Oh, leave your sister alone, Prongs, for all that matters, you should be proud of her for not drinking anything." Sirius pointed out and he gave the girl an understanding look.
She gave him a thankful one back.
