"Diana you're nutters!" Peter yelled quite loudly.

"Shh, be quiet Peter, you'll wake the whole blasted castle!" Diana hissed.

"But- he's right Diana, it'll never work." James mumbled. Remus, Lily, and especially Sirius were all in an amusing state of shock.

"Hush up Prongs, I at least deserve a chance don't I?"

"Di-" Sirius began in forced calm through clenched teeth. "We're your friends, right?" A nod. "And you trust us, right?" Another nod. "Then why won't you believe as? We've known that slimy git longer than you have; there's not one good thing about him!" He finished.

"Wheather you approve or not Si, U'm leaving now, I'm sorry." Diana opened the portal and stepped out into the hallway in a flurry of golden tresses, whe was furious.

"Di-" Ventured a meek voice.

"What, Moony?" She snapped and turned to face Remus with burning emerald eyes. Remus jumped back a bit in surprise.

"Calm down, I didn't come to ask you to go back, I just want to know what makes you think Severus Snape has any good in him."

Diana sighed, "He's a rough diamond Remus, I really believe he has potential; all he needs is a friend to bring it out."

"He's a Slytherin . . . "

"Well you're a- you're not perfect either are you?" Remus flinched at the mention of his wolf side. He knew he had no right to judge people by status . . . but this was Snape!

"Well if you think it's safe . . . "

"He wouldn't dare mess with me. . . Thanks Remus. . ." Before she took off down the hall Diana kissed her friends cheek lightly. She didn't see his shocked face or blush, nor did she let him se her's.
