Chapter 7. Hogwarts and Meetings
Moment after Sirius left
Diana let the grin left her face and started her routine. After getting washed she pulled out and dressed in her new clothes that she will wear from now on. Well she will wear them when she won't need to get into those hideous robes, she shuddered at the lone thought that she will need to get into them in a few hours.
Putting the clothes on she walked to the mirror to check if everything is alright. Looking at herself she grinned. She may be eleven but with puberty started some changes are already happening to her body and even if it still will be a few years till she will have the curves and breast like Rigna had she is still proud of herself.
Her new clothes consisted of the same black, smooth leather boots with low heels that she got from her first boss. As pants she had tight jeans that were of a tad bit lighter shade of black. On her torso she wore dark violet, short sleeved shirt that went into her jeans and in her breasts are you cold already see small lumps. To end the outfit over her shirt she wore open, leather biker jacket that came a little below her waist. Almost all of those things were crafted and enchanted by her so they will grow with her and auto repair. Plus they have some good defense bonuses.
Diana now stood with the height of 4ft 9in with her slightly, wavy hair coming down to her mid back. Overall she thought that she looked cool and in the future sexy. With a sight she sat down on her bed and went to check on her stats and skills that she trained in the past 2 years.

Diana's smirk was threatening to split her face as she read her profile. While Alya is still a few levels behind her and has lower stats, she is still strong enough that she would be able to take out any Eand D low and medium class demon. Diana herself is pretty sure that now she can try herself against a low C-class but until one won't find her she don't have a reason to go looking for them if there is always a chance that she can die to them.
Standing up she opened her room just to ran into her best friend. Alya herself was wearing the same clothes as Diana but with a crimson shirt and her hair was straight and only went a few inches past her shoulders. Both of the girls decided that they will have a laugh when someone will try to tell them that they are sisters. And they are not. Not one of them ever thought of the other as sister and for Sirius and Emily it was getting weird. It is like they just don't want that close relation between them. But that doesn't make any sense as they are always together and sometimes even fall asleep in the same place for crying out loud. Emily hos some inkling in the back of her mind of what is happening but it is still to early to think about that and even then there won't be much that she can do with that as the girls are really unseparable. She should know, she tried to get them apart when they were sleeping and she almost get knocked out AND THEY WERE SLEEPING. So yeah, for now let's leave them alone.
Now getting back to the girls. They both greeted each other and went down to get their breakfast. When they got there both parents looked at them with wide eyes and Sirius spoke, "Absolutely not, you are too young to walk like that."
Diana and Alya looked at each other smirked and turned towards their father with the hardest glare that they could muster. And let me tell you for 11 year olds they got some power to it. Sirius feeling the glares on him turned back from his food to girls and paled. Where all his gryffindor courage want away when he needs it? It is like those little two devils wants to kill him with those glares, "Someone help please, I am to young and handsome to die from my own daughters."
Sirius got depressed look on his face and almost started crying about how the world is not fair and the little devils will be the end of him. The three girls in the room sweatdropped at that . Really and he wants this world to be fair when he acts like that.
Both girls seeing that Their father won't stop for a while just sat down by the table and began eating. After 10 minutes the breakfast was done and Sirius finally got back to his normal self. Getting ready they all used floo to get to platform 9 and 3/4.
Getting out of the floo they both came to a sight of long black and red steam engine Hogwart's train that was waiting for the students. Another thing was a much to big number of people on the station which Diana and Alya did not like. It is not like they can't stand being in populated places, It is just that they prefer a small number of people in the same place with them. But it looks like they were going to need to get used to this as they are going to school which is packed with students.
Turning back to their parents they saw them smiling at them, "Impressive, isn't it?" The girls only looked at each other and said together,"Nope, not really."
That earned them both a sweat drop from both of their parents. Really what do you need to shown them so they will be at least somehow impressed. They went a few times to some interesting places around the world but they never got any reaction. Yes they were interested in seeing all of them but never nothing more it is just sad.
Emily seeing that they won't get anything done like that suggested, "Okay, lets go, you both still have some time before the train departs so it is a good time to go and find an empty compartment as we all know that you two won't sit with someone you don't know," and just when they started to move, they all saw two other people coming their way. Instantly Emily's, Sirius's and Alya's eyes narrowed but Diana's face became void of any emotions.
When the two finally came to the Sirius spoke with coldness in his voice, "Is there anything you need Lady and Lord Potter?"
Both Potters flinched a little at his tone but James none, the less answered in light tone, "Come on Sirius, what did we do wrong to deserve such coldness from you?"
Sirius only laughed bitterly, "You ask me what did you do? Alright let me tell you one more time," he narrowed his eyes at James and continued, "You took my goddaughter from me, a goddaughter that I have sworn to protect in the name of magic and you just let Dumbledore take her away like she is nothing."
Potters for their part got a guilty and sad looks but it want away a moment later just like something was telling them that nothing is wrong. Diana narrowed her eyes at that. "There is something wrong with them, I don't know what yet as I would need a moment alone with them so I could check. But I can bet that it has something to do with Dumbles." James looked back at Sirius, "You know that she will have better life in muggle word, Dumbledore made sure of that. And who is the new girls with you, Alya I know but who are you miss, I must say that you two look cool in those clothes," he ended it with a grin and if it wasn't that it is Potter both of the girls would be happy that at least someone understood them.
Sirius only scowled at his ex-friend, "There is no need for you to know that, now is there anything else Lord Potter?"
James only sighed at his friend, so it seems that nothing changed between them, "No nothing else, I and Lily also need to get going we have something important to do. We will see you soon."
All of the Blacks narrowed their eyes at the ending but none the less walked towards the train. Now that the girls must go in Siris looked at them with a smile, "Now girls I know that you already know almost all that will be thought in the school and if it wasn't for your insistence I would just tell you to get yours OWLS and NETS at ministry. Knowing that you two will still train I have a little gift for you," now both girls looked interested, what could their father have that could help them with training, "I know that you need a place to train so I will tell you about a room that me and marauders found in our school years." With that Sirius gave them the information about the Room of Requirements that can change into anything they want.
Diana and Alya grinned, it will help them a lot along the road, even if they have ID create, having a room that they can just meet and sit down is nice and it might have something that will help them with their studies.
After a quick goodbye and hugs, both girls went into the train looking for a free compartment another 5 minutes and both were seated inside. Quickly bringing their trunks out of their inventory, others do need to know about some of their abilities or all of them. Levitating them above the seats, both girls sat down next to each other.
Diana sighed, closed her eyes and laid her head on Alya's shoulder, Alya looked at her smiled and laid her head on Diana's, it was always comforting for both of them and one could find them like that when they were not training. They closed their eyes and felt the train starting to move. Just when both of them were drift off to sleep the doors to their compartment opened, Diana and Alya quickly resumed normal sitting position both of them know that no one needs to see them being that affectionate with each other. The person who walked in was a red headed boy their age with freckles on his face and wearing 2nd hand robes.
The boy wiped his face with his sleeve and spoke, "Did any of you saw Daniel Potter, we were supposed to meet in the train?" Both girls already knew for this boys posture, looks and 'observe' that he is not someone that they want to befriend, so Alya fixed a light glare and decided to speak.
"It's rude to come in without knocking and then demand an answer form us without even telling us your name. We never saw Daniel Potter, now get out," her voice was cold, She didn't care if they made an enemy of him as he could never harm them. It is better to get rid of him now than later.
Ronald as that was his name form what they saw with observe got red and walked out of compartment while mumbling, "Bloody snakes they are."
Shaking their heads at the boy stupidity, Diana waved her hand and closed the door. They wanted to go back to their position but it would not be a good idea to do that when there is always someone that can come in when they sleep. Plus they don't want to lock the door, maybe someone more intelligent will come here.
After another few minutes there was a knock on the door before two people came slightly in. Both of them were their age. The first one was a girl with light skin, bright brown eyes, lots of bushy brown hair. Next to her stood a boy with round-face, he was short, chubby, and has blond hair. The girl was the first one to speak, "Hello, have any of you seen a toad, Neville lost one. Ah my name is Hermione Granger and this is Neville Longbottom, It is nice to meet you," her tone was slightly bossy, Diana and Alya knew that it will bring her some problems later if her character is the same.
This time Diana decided to speak, "No, sorry but if you give us some information on it we may be able to help you. And my name is Diana Black and this is Alya Black and no we are not sisters," she decided to get it out of the way, they don't want people to think that they are sisters, plus most of the important figures will know who she really is even is she now has violet eyes.
Hermione looked curiously at the two girls, their clothes were those of muggles and from what she could see of high quality. Deciding that may as well see if they can help them she spoke, "From what Neville, his name is Trevor and is brown covered in wart-like bumps," Diana nodded and stood up walking towards the door.
She flicked her hand causing a black wand to come out. Yes a wand, it would be better if no one saw them using non wandless magic, so Diana created 2 wands with infernal iron while adding some hers and Alyas blood to them for a better focus. Then she needed to cover the color so with some runes carved into them now they look like normal black wood wands. Bringing her hand out she made a random wand movement and called out, "Accio Neville's toad Trevor."
At first nothing happened but a few seconds later a brown toad flew into Diana's outstretched hand. Smirking she turned back to the rest of the compartment and handed toad to Neville. And went to sit down again.
"Thank you very much miss Black," Neville tried to say in the calmest voice that he could, almost worked.
"There is no need for the titles, call us by our names. Now maybe you will sit down with us?" she offered. It will be a good idea to know a Longbottom heir and a young witch that looked like she wants to learn, might as well help her in this cruel world.
Both thanked for the offer and sat down in seats opposite to Blacks. They started a light conversation about what house they want to get in and some other subjects. They were already talking for about 15 minutes when with knock the door opened again and in walked Daniel Potter. Diana knew that might be the only chance to talk with him and try to tell him the truth about what happened to her. She really hopes that he will be open minded about it as she won't need him going around and calling her a liar. Well she can just oblivate everyone here later, she thought with a smirk.
First he greeted Neville and Alya, next Hermione and finally turned towards Diana, his eyes widened slightly and with a curious voice spoke, "I don't recognize you from anywhere but it is like I should know you, why is that."
Diana received the same curious looks from Hermione and Neville. Sighing she decided that this might help her if he is feeling some familiarity with her, "My name is Diana Black but I only go by that name since 2 years ago. You might as well sit down as I wanted to talk to you anyway."
Daniel looked at her oddly but nodded and sat down next to Neville, with that Diana continued, "What you all need to know is that what I say here is not leaving this compartment. Anyone of you try to talk about it and I will oblivate you of any memory of me. Now, I Diana Rose Black swear on my life and magic that everything I say during this conversation till I end explaining, is true. So mote, it be."
All in the compartment even Alya went wide eyed, "Why would you swear on your life Diana, there are other methods for him to believe you." Really her friend sometimes is just so impatient.
Diana looked at her with a frown, "We don't have time for other methods," turning back to her brother she continued, "your parents probably never told you but before the Halloween incident you had a sister," Daniel as well as the others gaped at her.
"What, my parents never told me that and always said that I never had any siblings, but now that you mention it they always got guilty look for a second when answering me," frown appeared on his face, would they really lie to him, why?
"I know that it's hard to hear something like that form a stranger, but after you were declared as the boy who lived, Dumbledore came and somehow gotten your parents to abandon your sister which by the way is your twin. From what I know they though her to be a squib so wanting to give her a better life they decided to send her to muggles. And what a wonderful idea that was," she sighed, when her early life was not so bad, this is still something that so don't like talking about, "I don't know what Dumbledore did but she somehow ended up in muggle orphanage. I won't go into the life there but only 2 years ago she meet her godfather. And like you now probably already deducted it yourself. The girl is me I was called Diana Rose Potter, your twin," there was no beating around the bush, if he does not accept it or even want to talk more about it, she will oblivate all of them in the compartment and it will be like the conversation never happened.
Daniel looked like his world just fallen apart but still tried to say, "But you are a witch, we saw the flash of magic when your swore. How could they thought you to be a squib when you obviously aren't. It just doesn't make sense, abandoning you because you are squib and not even caring what happened to you. Plus why do you have violet eyes, form what I know no one in our family ever had one's," in the end he was almost rambling, but Diana could understand that, it is not everyday that someone tells you that they are your sister and your parents lied to you.
Diana put a tired expression on her face, "My eyes changed sometime after the attack on our house and I would prefer to not tell you why. Sirius said that I had the same eyes like you and your mother," at that she could see that Daniel wanted to speak up but she knew why, so she quickly added, "No, she is not my mother, like you said there might be something going on there but I won't forgive them and welcome them back with my arms open to my life. No that won't work, I have a new family with Blacks and I don't want to change it. But even then I don't have anything against being sister and brother, this wasn't your fault that they left me."
Daniel got a little sad but none the less nodded, he is glad that she will at least give him a chance, "But what about my parents then? How can I face them knowing that they left my sibling and then lied to me," there was some anger in his tone but he sounded more confused.
Diana frowned, that is a good question what do they do about the elder Potters. She knows that there is something more to her abandonment and she will do everything in her power to discover what it is, "I know that you may be angry at them but from what I know they gave you a good life, plus first I want to find out if there is something else that may be hidden," finally remembering that there are others in compartment she relaxed back in her seat and ran her hand through her hair, "Alright remember not a world about what you heard here, do you understand?" Getting the nods of confirmation she used her legilimency and locked the memory of what happened deep in their minds so others mind magic users won't be able to find it.
Alya seeing that this depressing conversation finally came to end decided that it is time to get them all away form the topic, "Alright enough of this depressing shit, who is up to the game of exploding snap."
Five minutes later after explaining the rules to Hermione they all started playing and the atmosphere got lighter. Before they came to Hogwarts, the girls kicked boys from their compartment so they could change into school robes. And it was when they came back to girls already in their robes that they saw heavily pouting Diana. Alya looked at them with an amused expression and said, "She really hates the school robes."
Boys snickered lightly but quickly shut up and paled at the dark glare that Diana was giving them. Daniel couldn't help but compare it to his mother, well now he is sure that she is his sister, but really do she needs to be so scary?
After some time the train stopped, Diana and Alya used their wands to shrink all the trunks before putting theirs back to inventory when no one could see. Getting out of the train they heard a loud voice, "First years over 'ere," the sound came from an enormous man with messy hair both on his head and face. Quick scan told them that his name was Hagrid and was the groundskeeper of Hogwarts.
"First years over 'ere," he repeated walking towards the Great Lake. He gestured towards the big amount of boats. Each boat had two benches that were parallel to each other. "No more than four to a boat," Diana and Alya got into they boat followed by Neville and Hermione while Daniel went to find a place in another.
Boats soon started to move, during the travel they needed to duck one time when Hagrid told them and after that Hogwarts came sight. It sure was a nice sight but again Diana and Alya were not impressed, interested yes, impresed no. Finally getting out of the boats Hagrid lead them to a big door where he handed them to a Hogwarts professor that with a quick observe both knew to be Minerva McGonagall. She took them all to a small hall before speaking.
"The start of term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory and spend free time in your house common room.
The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rule-breaking will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the House Cup, a great honour. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours.
The Sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the rest of the school. I suggest you all smarten yourselves up as much as you can while you are waiting."
McGonagall left them alone and most of the first years began chatting between themselves. Some ideas how the sorting will look made Diana and Alya bit back a laugh although they wouldn't have anything against fighting a troll. Well maybe not in front of the whole school but you get the idea. The professor came back after a few minutes and brought them to the Great Hall. They all saw that it looked quite amazing, next thing they noticed was the stool in the center of the hall with an old hat sitting on it. Now though Alya and DIana couldn't help the giggle that escaped them when it started to sign but both stopped it quite quick when they saw two people sitting at the staff table.
With the ending of this weird song, McGonagall started to call out names and it was a nos surprise that Alya went first.
Sitting down on the stool and getting the hat lowered at her head she heard a voice behind her all barriers, "Well that's the most impressive thing that I saw for a long time. But I can't really place you in a house if I can't get into your mind."
Alya knew that it must be the sorting hat so lowering her defences a little she spoke, "I will give you the entrance but I need to know if you can speak about what you see in students minds to others," that is something that she can't agree on, their plans are to important and no one can know what they are and what they can do.
The hat chuckled, "Don't worry miss Black your secrets are safe with me, now if you could," mentaly nodding Alya released her shields for him, she could feel him going through her memories and his shock at them, "well it is looking like you and your 'friend' will bring some interesting things here, now I could you really put you anywhere, you don't lack courage, are loyal but only to those you care about, know that knowledge is important and for sure is cunning so what it is miss Black, do you have any preferences?"
Alya thought about that, form what they knew Griffindor is out, they may like to fight but are not stupid with it, Hufflepuff also out so that leaves Slytherin and Ravenclaw. And while Slytherin is good, it would take too much time to care about all the pureblood agenda plus that want to fly under the radar at least for now, even if they know that it won't last long. She gave her decision to hat.
"Yes, Yes, I can see your reason, so you better be a RAVENCLAW," she took the hat off and walked towards the claw table while getting some applaud from her new house.
McGonagall looked back at the list and called out, "Black, Diana," while no one really reacted that another Black is being sorted, there were a few people that reacted. The two new people looked at her with something akin to recognition but it quickly went away, which caused Diana's eyes to narrow. And of course there is the reaction of Albus Dumbledore. It was a quick one as Diana saw him paling and look at her with shock but he schooled his expression so no one would catch him. No luck there as Diana knew that if there is someone to watch , it is Dumbles. Finally getting on the stool she felt her mind being probed and let the hat a little in. "You probably know where I want to go already?"
"Yes I saw enough in your friend's mind and I am sure that it would do me no good to separate you two. So with that I wish you luck in RAVENCLAW," with that she went in steady pace towards the ravenclaw table and sat down next to Alya. The sorting then went without problems till Daniel's sorting with Neville and Hermione getting sorted into Gryffindor.
When Daniel's came all of the Hall exploded in murmurs about the boy who lived. While Daniel never shunned and was never embarrassed by attention, the amused look that his new sister was giving him, made him blush and hurry to the stool. Diana was even more amused at that. When the hat shouted Gryffindor, the red and gold table exploded in applause.
Finally after sorting everyone settled down and waited. Dumbledore got up from his throne, opened arms wide and spoke, "Welcome," he said. "Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you!"
Diana and Alya looked at each other and spoke simultaneously, "definitely mad." Few of older students snickered at their reaction and one of them decided to speak.
"Well he might be a little mad but he still is the strongest wizard in the world. So he has some leeway with that," this caused another round of snickers around the table.
Then they started to eat while conversing with some of the students about life in Hogwarts. Diana and Alya were both glad that they got into Ravenclaw as they could already see that most of the students here were quite alright.
After food disappeared professor Dumbledore got yo his feet again. The hall went silent.
"Ahemm just a few more words now that we are all fed and watered. I have a few important notices for you. First years should note that the forest on the grounds is forbidden to all pupils. And a few of our older students would do well to remember that as well. I have also been asked by Mr. Filch, the caretaker, to remind you all that no magic should be used between classes in the corridors. Quidditch trials will be held in the second week of the term. Anyone interested in playing for their house teams should contact Madam Hooch. Now let me introduce your new professors, Defence against the Dark Artes will be taught by Quirinus Quirrell, Lily Potter new Muggle Studies professor, James Potter will be helping us with quidditch and older years transfiguration classes, And finally, I must tell you that this year, the third-floor corridor is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a very painful death."
They of course already saw Potters here and both in the same moment got 3 pings.

Well, now things are getting interesting, a legendary item? They won't let it past them that for sure. swiping the bosex away they saw all the students prepare to sign. And that is how the weirdest moment in their life happened. Singing a song at different times completely out of the blue. Yeah, they are never doing that again. Finally Dumbledore dismissed them all and the first years were lead to ravenclaw dorms.
They stopped before a picture of an eagle, who spoke to them, "It is greater than God and more evil than the devil. The poor have it, the rich need it and if you eat it you'll die. What is it?", with that the prefect explained to them that to enter their common room, they need to answer a riddle.
"Nothing, the answer in Nothing," answered the second prefect, after which they all went inside to the sight of a big room with a big, burning fireplace, some couches, a big number of desks by which a student could sit and of course bookshelves with books about magic and other subjects. "Now I will let our head of house have a few worlds with you, for me I welcome you all in ravenclaw," and they walked away.
Then the room's door opened again and in walked a particularly short person. He had brown hair and wore black clothes and robes. When he started speaking his voice was slightly squeaky, " Welcome, My name in professor Filius Flitwick and I am Head of Ravenclaw house. I have a few number of things to tell you. First as we all are in the house of wise, I expect from you all good grades and behaviour. Second even with my first point, I want you all to have a good time here so don't get crazy with studying. Last but not least if you have any problems just contact me or any of prefects, we are here to help you. Now you all will be assigned to a two person room so get in pairs, of course only girls and boys separately."
Diana and Alya went first and quickly got showed to their new room, it wasn't much, but still had two beds,desks and wardrobes. There was also a door to their bathroom. Diana looked at Alya and smirked, "Well let's get settled and it is time for today's dungeon." She only got a smirk in return.
Next day,
After getting up and going to the Great Hall for breakfast. Both girls got their time tables from their a bit to happy head of house. Diana was slightly surprised that she hasn't got called by Dumbledore yet. But he might still be planning what to do with her or checking if she really is the same person. Now thought they were both walking in the transfiguration class that they have with puffs. Getting seated in the back as most of the places were still free due to the early time, they saw a cat sitting still on the table. Looking at it closely they quickly deducted and confirmed with observe that it was professor McGonagall's animagus form. After all the students were seated, the cat jumped and in mid flight changed to their professor. Most of the students were awed by that but neither Alya nor Diana showed any reaction.
McGonagall intrigued by that spoke to them, "Misses Black, I see that you are not surprised, did you know that it was me?"
"With our guardian we know quite a lot about animagus professor," Diana smiled at her, yes while it is quite right that living with Sirius you get to experience his doggy form, they already knew about animagus form studies and in Diana's case Hunter dreams.
McGonagall showed a hint of a smile at the mention of Sirius but then went back to her desk to carry on with the lesson. She gave them a lecture about basics of transfiguration and then given them all a match to turn into a needle. Both girls quickly just done that and brought out books that were enchanted to look like first year book and started reading.
Professor came to them after a few minutes and awarded them both 15 points for perfect work. Both girls nodded in thanks and went back to reading.
Rest of the class went without a hitch and the girls made their way towards charms class room. They were greeted by Flitwick and asked how their first class went. After hearing that they both could do the transfiguration without any problem, the little professor was jumping on his feet in happiness.
Charms went almost the same as transfiguration with Diana and Alya completing the work without a problem, getting some points and then getting back to their reading.
Rest of the day went similar but they got the idea that potions professor Snape in biased against everyone that is not Slytherin. But with their perfect work even he could not say anything against them even if they knew that he and their father don't like each other.
Then they just fallen into a routine of going to lessons, studying magic after, showing themselves sometimes. And finally grinding dungeons during night as they don't need a full night sleep nowadays.
Week went by and professors were having their annual meeting after the first week. All of the professors were standing in Headmaster office as Dumbledore walked in. He looked at them with a twinkle in his eyes, sat down behind his desk and started, "Good, Now as always after the start of a new year I would like to know how the students are settling in and if there are some students that caught you eye with their performance."
Each professor gave their report of how their classes went and then they got to students. In upper years nothing really changed so the talk quickly went towards first years. Minerva decided to go first, "Of all lions the most potential I can see in Hermione Granger a muggle born witch, Daniel Potter and Neville Longbottom who I observed is now good friend with Daniel."
Others professors nodded in agreement with only Snape not giving anything. After that Pomona Sprout a Hufflepuff Head of house spoke about her first hears and Snape did the same with Slytherins. Finally came Flitwick's turn who had a beaming smile on his face, "Yes, yes both misses Black show an extreme amount of talent from what I know they complete every single task without a problem," now he was almost bouncing when he thought about his students. He is really glad that they landed in his house. Both of them are nice and talented girls so every other head of house should be jealous.
Other again nodded and there even Snape gave a small nod. Dumbledore was curious, if what he thinks is right then the girl is Daniel's sibling. He really thought that she was a squib so after sending her away, he planted a little block in Lily's and James's mind so even if they remember her they will just dismiss the thought after a few seconds. Now this is coming to bite him in the ass, if the girl or heaven forbid Lily get the sound of it, he is not sure if he will survive the fiery redhead.
"Well thank you all I will see you tomorrow at breakfast," with that all of the professors walked out, leaving Dumbledore alone. Sighing he thought what can he do about this, He doesn't know what the girl know and if she even will try to dig deeper into that so for now he might as well let it play out. Because how a first year could get a drop on him, Albus Dumbledore, The Leader of the Light.
Meanwhile,
Sneaking after the curfew were two girls, their direction the seventh floor. Knowing that they won't have any problem with getting there, after a 5 minutes they stood before weird looking tapestry with Barnabas the Barmy trying to teach trolls ballet. Knowing what to do Diana walked three times before it thinking about a perfect room to train.
Door appeared and the girls walked in. They came to the sight of a big room with a space in the corner with couch, seats and bookshelf. Remaining part of the room had a big number of things to help them train along with some weird looking mannequins that they later discovered can shoot spells with good speed, so they can train dodging and dueling with their gravity increased.
Both girls grinned at each other, yep they gonna need to thank Sirius.
AND CUT
I really wanted to go with th rest of this term but I already almost got 8k words so I decide to cut it here.
Now there will be some people saying that the way that Diana told Daniel about her is a bit weird and I totaly agree with you but she just doesn't care if he won't believe as even tho she wants to have some bond with him, she can live without it. So she was blut with it. Another reason is that I want to get it out of the way as I relly dont need to much shit to do in hogwarts when there are bttter things that are going to happen.
Chaos out.
