ONCE ELIZABETH STEPS IN, the argument doesn't last much longer — and it's decided that Potter should be allowed to hear whatever it is he wants to.
And so, Diana sits through a long conversation of Sirius telling Harry basically everything she already knows, before the time finally comes for both her and her grandmother to head off home.
Diana's happy to say goodbye to everyone and thank Molly Weasley for dinner — she wants nothing more in this moment than to get home and sprawl out on her bed, being as lazy as she wants. Elizabeth seems to be thinking along the same lines.
"So, you've taken an interest in Potter?" Diana says, upon the door of Grimmauld Place closing behind them. They begin to walk down the pavement, the street around them entirely silent.
"Why shouldn't I? He's an interesting boy," Elizabeth responds.
"Is he?"
"No, not particularly,"
Diana snickers, before her grandmother continues.
"But Voldemort's after him at the end of the day — he plays a very huge part in the Dark Lord's return, not to mention the information he carries. And the Ministry seem to have something on him, too,"
"You think the Ministry are after him?" Diana asks, as they both reach the end of the pathway and linger on the corner of the road, under a flickering street lamp.
"Dementors don't just happen to turn up out of nowhere to go for a little hunt," says Elizabeth. "And it most certainly wasn't Voldemort that sent them to Potter,"
"How do you know?" Diana asks.
"Voldemort doesn't want the boy to be dead and gone in an instant — if he did, he'd have sent his followers to kill him ages ago. He wants to kill him himself. And if there's one thing I know from the First Wizarding War, it's that Voldemort likes playing with people. There's no way he would have just sent dementors to kill Potter, that's not enough for him,"
