Diana watched as the younger blonde skipped away when another hand was placed on her shoulder making her turn around. Hermione was standing behind her with a smile.

"Hagrid's back, Ana," Hermione said, looking a bit flustered."Where's Harry?"

"Um, he's talking with Cho," The blonde pointed to the two talking, before looking at her best friend's flustered face. "You are feeling alright? You look a bit red."

Hermione batted her best friend's hand away from her forehead and frowned, looking at Harry and Cho. "I'm fine, Ana. Why is he talking with her?"

"She asked to talk. I don't know what about, but it looks pretty serious," Diana said, watching as her boyfriend looked peeved and Cho started crying.

"Whatever he said made her cry," Hermione says, grabbing her hand's hand. "C'mon, let's go save him,"

Diana and Hermione walked over to where the pair was talking. At this point, Cho was full-on sobbing as they stopped in front of them.

"Harry, Hagrid's back," Hermione said, glancing at Cho awkwardly.

Harry looked relieved and grabbed his girlfriend's hand before walking away. "Sorry, Cho."

They hurried out of the courtyard and met with Ron, before sprinting down the hill toward Hagrid's hut. They slid to a stop at the bottom and heard a familiar voice coming from inside. Umbridge.

"I will say this one time. I'm ordering you to tell me where you've been." Umbridge said, standing in front of Hagrid.

The four of them peeked through the window as Hagrid spoke. "I told you. I've been away for my health."

"Your health?" Umbridge said, looking around the half-giant, before glancing at the window. The four ducked, before reappearing.

"Yeah. Bit of fresh air, you know." Hagrid lied.

"Oh, yes. As gamekeeper, fresh air must be difficult to come by." Umbridge said sarcastically. "If I were you, I shouldn't get too used to being back. I mightn't bother unpacking at all."

"She's coming," Diana whispered as Umbridge walked to the door. The four of them hid around the hut, Hermione pulling Ron back. They watched as Umbridge marched up the hill and disappeared into the castle. Harry raised his fist and knocked on the door, causing loud barking from Fang.

"Hagrid! It's us!" Harry called.

Hagrid opened the door. "Shoulda known!"

The half-giant let the four in and shut the door. They all sat down at the table, Hagrid placed a chunk of meat on his bruised eye.

"This is top-secret, right? Dumbledore sent me to parley with the giants." Hagrid said.

"Giants?" Hermione exclaimed. "You found them?"

"Well, they're not that hard to find, to be perfectly honest. They're so big, see?" Hagrid said. "I tried to convince them to join the cause. But I wasn't the only one trying to win them over."

"Deaths eaters?" Ron asked.

Hagrid nodded. "Yes. Trying to persuade them to join You-Know-Who."
