A Trip to Italy

Summary, Disclaimer, and A/N:

Summary: This is fluff.  Harry and Diana are sent to Italy to defeat some bad wizards and help out some good ones, finding some romance meanwhile.

Disclaimer: Diana is all Silver Phoenix 25's.  I just wrote this fic cuz I got bored.  And I wanted to see Harry and Diana more.  Because in Bury the Hatchet and Perfect World, Ron and Hermione are the main characters.  So I'm making Harry and Diana the main characters.  I don't own Harry Potter or Silver Phoenix 25.  Hope you guys enjoy it!  Silver Phoenix25 DID give me permission to post this, if you do not believe me, I will send you her e-mail.  Or if you still don't believe me, ask her yourself. 

A/N: The pairing is Harry/Diana for you clueless people out there.  And this takes place right after Bury the Hatchet, during summer (And for you clueless people again, it takes place before Perfect World).

Chapter One: Partners in Crime

            Harry Potter held his quill close to his face, staring at the ink drop that was just about to fall onto his clean piece of parchment.  Just before it fell, he caught the droplet in his hand.  Black…..like Diana's hair. He thought.  What am I saying?  She has no interest in me!  Then he looked out the window, into the sky.  Blue…..like Diana's- STOP IT THIS INSTANT, HARRY!  Get a hold of yourself!  Even if I do like her like that, she'd never-

            That's when he saw her, walking towards him.  "Potter, what are you doing?  Why is there ink on your hands?  Honestly, I really don't know how you could be so organized when your hands are so dirty.  Come on, we'll be late to the next Auror meeting!" Diana Drago said, a scowl on her pretty face.

            Harry made a face back at her, and got up.  "I was trying to write that report you insisted on me writing instead of you."

            "I've had to write the past three reports!  You just stood there and remembered when you Stupefied that dragon or when you punched the ogre in the stomach and you bruised your hand for a week!" she scolded.  "Don't blame me."

            Harry smirked.  "Well, I finished it."

            Diana smiled.  "Well, can I read it?"

            Harry handed to paper to her.  She looked at it and said, "I can't read your handwriting.  Is this a B or a P?"

            He glared at her.  "It's an H."

            "Oh.  That makes sense."

            It was pretty silent as she read it, except for where she commented on his poor grammar and penmanship.  He ignored her and she finally finished it.  "Well, the vampire was 126, not 226 for starters, and you spelled Nadie Volderria wrong."

            "Who wouldn't?" Harry muttered.

            "Don't talk back to me like that, Potter."

            "Then don't talk to me, Drago."

            And so the two stubborn partners walked off to the Auror meeting.

            "Diana, Harry, it's nice that you could join us 10 minutes late." Alastor Moody said.

            Diana grinned.  "Harry was finishing up the report and I had to reread it."

            "Good.  Then there should be no reason as to why it isn't prefect in every way." Moody grumbled.  "This is important."

            Diana and Harry took a seat, and Moody started speaking.  "Darnell, Potter, Kingsley, Tonks, Lander, and Drago; there is a slight problem on our hands." He said, passing around a thick binder to each of the Aurors.  "In Italy, some wizards have started gathering in the woods and having strange meetings where they light trees on fire and jump into the flames.  People have turned up missing, or even dead.  What I want you to find out is what's going on.  If we need to, we will go in and stop the force ourselves.  Already, some Italian Aurors are on the case, so we don't want to interfere with everything."

            "Why are we helping them out?  Can't they handle themselves?" Tonks asked curiously.

            Moody looked at her, and she looked back, smiling sheepishly.  "One of our Ministry members, Seamus Finnigan, of the Department of Mysteries turned up missing.  He was in that area.  This worries me a lot.  He knew vital information."

            Harry nodded.  "Moody, aren't we taking this a little too seriously?"

            "How might you think that?"

            "Well, we might want to be checking up on Donovan Owens." Harry said quite bluntly.  "I mean, this could be important, but don't we have bigger things on our hands?  Like the Scrolls?"

            Moody nodded.  "We do have bigger problems on our hands.  Which is why I want you and Drago to go find out things, while the rest of us continues to look for scrolls."

            It was then that Diana actually wanted to pull out that fake eye and squash it like a bug.  Then feed it to Harry.  "But Moody- we've been working for ages on that!  I think we're really close!"

            Moody shook his head.  "No you're not.  Potter and Weasley had been looking for it for less than a year when he left, and Potter continued to look for it.  Maybe it's time to see if anyone else can find anything.  Tonks Darnell, and Lander, go see what you can find on the scrolls.  Kingsley and I will go and cross-examine Owens.  Potter and Drago, you go and find out anything you can about these strange meetings.  Good day."  Moody said, and stood up.  "You are dismissed."

            Diana stood up.  "Potter, you are so gonna get it once we're out of here!"

            Harry glared at her.  "I didn't mean to get us stuck with this case!  Plus, as a good Auror should, we should accept a case heartily with a smile on our face." He sang.

            "I always hated Joel for making up that stupid rhyme." Diana pouted.

            "Alright, well we'd better get started on this case."

            "That's us.  Partners in crime."

            "Until the very end." Harry added.
