Madam Puddifoot's

Located on a little side street off the main High Street, Madam Puddifoot's is a small teashop favourite among Hogwarts couples out on dates.

Diana quickly walked into Madam Puddifoots. She headed for the back where she couldn't be seen and waited.

A large wolf, dark grey and white with tinges of black around the ears, approached the shop and snuck through the closing door.
It headed into the back and glanced around. There she was.
"Hi there."
Darien transformed back into his normal self, short black hair slightly ruffled after the hurricane in the three broomsticks.
"Diana?"

She stood up and glared at him. "I can't believe you did that!"

Darien took a step backwards.
"Did wha-Oh. Merlin's..." His mind clicked. Almost literally.
"Oh merlin, you were in there?!" His eyes widened with fear. "Were you hurt?! Merlin...I am so sorry, really...It was that bloody Ravenclaw- She burned my sister and I just lost it- I am so sorry! Merlin, if I'd known I would never- Diana..."
Darien was shocked and appauled. He'd hurt Diana...He could have killed her...
His shoulders dropped and he almost fell over. Thank merlin Ana had stopped it...
"Diana..."

Diana sighed, She was still angry, but she understood his reason for doing it. "You really should controll yourself more. But what you did was gallant. It was stupid but gallant. Anyways I'm not too fond of that Ravenclaw either. ((((Ha ha))))"

"So are you moving to Hogwarts?"

Darien looked up hopefully. He might not be fully forgiven, but hopefully he was slightly.
"I should...I'm really sorry Diana...and I'm really stupid..." He smiled slightly. "And as for my moving to Hogwarts, that depends on one thing. I was unhappy at Durmstrang but I could put up with it... The crucial factor is: do you want me to move to Hogwarts?"

"Darien," Diana gave him a hug. Hopefully he got his answer.


((lol I'm dying omg.))

Darien hugged her back, smiling into her hair. "Was that a yes or an I-hate-you-and-your-awful-cheesy-words?"

((lol... Well, it was corny, and cliched... had to be said!))

She playfully hit his head. "What do you think?"

Then she chuckled. "You know if your really going to be at Hogwarts we really have to be more careful now. Imagine what your sister would do once she finds out. Imagine what my friends will do once they find out."

Darien grinned. "I guess I'm moving to Hogarts then!"

He smirked for a moment, then his face became fake terrified. "I'm not sure which I'm more scared of... Ana might tell my parents, who would kill me... Then she'd dance on my grave... And your friends are probably very scary and might kill me even more... Why am I the one who's going to get pummelled either way?"
He glanced up at the ceiling. "There are probably some old Vaight ancestors up there glaring down and cursing at me right now...But they're old and decrepid, who cares what they think anyway?"

"Oh I won't let anything bad happen to you." ((My sweet honeybun XD)) Diana said half serious.

She grinned. "I don't think your sister will tell your parents Darien, personally, I think she'll hex me to oblivion first."

Darien sighed. "She really knows too many hexes for her age... And ironically, that is my fault...But if she does start going crazy I'll be the one making sure nothing happens to you."

((lol! This is hysterical!))

((Aww... I just what to kill myself it's so sweet.))

Diana blushed profusely. "I got something for you."

Diana took out a sugar quill from her pocket. "Cause you're so sweet."


((I am seriously dying.))

((lol! This is knocking years off my life span...))
((moment of hysterical laughter/pondering...))

Darien smiled, accepting the quill. "Now that was sweet."

He pulled his long, thin wand from a pocket and waved it, causing a boquet of flowers to burst from the tip and soar into the air, floating gently down for Diana to catch. Small twinkling shreds of magic spiralled down to the ground and dissapated, shining all the colours of the rainbow.
All in all, not a bad effect, he thought to himself. And no hurricanes this time.
"For you."

Diana giggled with pleasure as she caught the flowers.

Suddenly her wristwatch rang. "Oh dang, it's been 30 minutes, I have to go."

Darien put on a face of incredible woe.
"Stupid time...makes fools and has a laugh at us all."
He reached out and hugged Diana. "See you soon... And I mean soon this time."

Diana hugged back and kiss him on the cheek. "See you at Hogwarts Darien."

He grinned, changing form effortlessly. He loved being a wolf.
He leapt up on his hind legs and licked Diana's face, his wolf face still grinning.

Diana giggled and hugged ((his fuzzy little self)) Darien. She stroked his fur admiringly. "You're so beautiful. You have to show me how to become an animgus one day Dar."

"Well I have to go now, my friends would be worried if I'm late. One of them already suspects something."

She gave him a final scratch in the ear and then left.

Darien's tail drooped as he watched her leave.
He slipped into the back toilet and slid out of the window. Back onto the streets of Hogsmeade.
Breaking into a run, he hurried back to the castle. Ana would kill him if he was late to his first lesson...And he needed her to guide him.
Darien, where are you?!
Speak of the devil... I'm on my way Ana. Just running back.
Then hurry up, class is in five minutes! Meet me in the Entrance hall, I'll direct you from there, but hurry!
No peace for the wicked...Or the Slytherin.

Casey shook her head at the couple and smiled, she was only here for a tea and then she was leaving. Puddifoots had one of her favoriites and it was the only place that made it right.

"They are so sweet they are giving me cavities" she mumbled under her breath.

She did sense something strange about the boy though, she wasn't sure what it was.

"I hope you don't mind me saying so, but, isn't it a bit hard having to have your brother follow you around everywhere?" Nicolas said as they reached the door to Madam Puddifoots.

Amy rolled her eyes, "Your telling me...." she mumbed as she sent a glare to the same claoked figure from 3 broomstick.

"But it can't be helped..... twin thing it is a curse sometimes"

Nicolas nodded. "I can't even imagine... I mean I'm an only child. The closest thing I have to a sibling is Diana. She and I are close but... we like to seperate once in awhile."

Nicolas opened the door for her. He decided this time to open it for Aiden too.
