You told Alicia what had happened between you and George and she let you go back gladly, although you and her still walked to the great hall together, and still switched out partners with her during DA meetings. You and George started hanging out a lot more, although you still preferred other people around when the two of you were together.

DA meetings continued all the way to Christmas break, tonight being your last one of the year. Upon entering the Room of Requirement (it was right after dinner so you were actually with Aoibhe, the twins, and Lee) you saw Harry frantically taking down decorations from the ceiling and stuffing them in a garbage can, (You spotted his face all over them with 'HAPPY CHRISTMAS' before Harry used the reductor curse on it all). Behind you more people joined, looking around at the remaining decorations in awe. You all sat down on your normal cushions, and talked for a long while before everyone was eventually there the whole meeting was dedicated to a review of what you all had done so far in the past meetings. By the end of the lesson you had all packed up your stuff, Harry waving everyone off as they left, you told the twins and Aoibhe to go off without you however, as you continued to stuff your things into your bag. Purposely going slowly, you wanted to talk to Harry before leaving.

He waved off the last person, right as you were lifting your bag onto your shoulder "Oh, Robyn" he said with surprise, turning around to face you "I didn't see you there" "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you" you say awkwardly "I just... I wanted to say thanks, for all of this" it was Harry's turn to look awkward as you smiled at him "It's nothing really... Everyone should be able to learn all of this" he says with a shrug "I just... I wonder if he had known it..." You say, glancing at the moving poster of Cedric that had been put on the wall by a Hufflepuff the second meeting "He did, know all this stuff..." Harry said heavily "If he hadn't known all this he would have never made it to the middle of that maze. But if Voldemort really wants to kill you, you don't stand a chance" you flinched slightly at the name, but recovered quickly "Thank you, again, Harry" you say moving forward and hugging him, he stays there in shock for a moment before awkwardly patting your back "Happy Christmas, Harry" you say pulling away as you readjust your bag on your shoulder, smiling "Happy Christmas" Harry says smiling back. You leave the room of requirement alone and head towards the common room.

You went to bed that night peacefully, still happy from the conversation with Harry. Just as you were falling asleep however, you heard a terrible blood curdling scream from the boys dormitory. Immediately you sat up in bed, and opposite you Aoibhe did the same, "What was that?" She said, rubbing her eyes "I don't know" you reply, a look of worry on your face, "I think it came from the boys dormitory" the two of you got out of bed and put on your slippers and robes before heading down the stairs and over to the boys dormitory stairs, but before you could go any further Mcgonagall was rushing past with Harry (sweating profusely) and Ron following close behind, she stopped however, at the sight of you, momentarily "Yes, Miss Pattinson, Miss Diggory, something has happened, I need you two to notify the other Weasleys, and get them immediately to the headmasters office" before you could ask anything else, however, Mcgonagall was rushing out of the portrait hole. You had agreed that Aoibhe would go get the twins, and you'd get Ginny, rushing off your separate ways.

You woke up Ginny rather quick, telling her something was wrong and she needed to go to the headmasters office. She asked many questions but you told her you didn't have the answers, the only one you could do was walk her to the office, her trembling all the while.

Once you got to the outside of Dumbledore's office Mcgonagall was there waiting, she promptly told you about Harry's dream, telling you that Mr. Weasley had been attacked. "I think it's been long enough now" she said with a feverish tone "You all may go up" she let you and Aoibhe join as the 5 of you headed up the stairs.

Ginny immediately burst into questions about what was going on, but the twins, Aoibhe, and yourself stayed behind, your faces matching shades of paper white. "Your father has been injured in the course of work for the OOTP" Dumbledore said before Harry could speak "He has been taken to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. I am sending you back to Sirius' house, which is much more the hospital than the burrow. You will meet your mother there." You were about to speak when Dumbledore continued "Yes, Miss Pattinson and Miss Diggory, you shall all go as well" he said, reading your mind, "How're we going?" Fred said from behind you, looking shaken, "Floo powder?" Dumbledore then explained that floo powder is being watched, and was not safe for you all to travel through, and you'd instead be taking a portkey. You all quickly joined around the portkey after Dumbledore had set it all up, he counted down and you felt the jerk behind your naval as the portkey took off towards Grimmauld Place.

When you arrived Sirius instantly started talking to you, asking questions, but the twins all directed them towards Harry, he faltered for a moment before awkwardly continuing, telling you the whole of his dream and what had happened inside Dumbledore's office while you were outside. Once he was done Fred turned to Sirius "Is Mum here?" "She probably doesn't know what's happened yet," Sirius replied "The important thing was to get you away before Umbridge could interfere. I expect Dumbledore's letting Molly know now" the twins protested, Ginny saying that they should get to go to St. Mungos, but Sirius eventually calmed them down, telling them you were all going to wait until Molly was there to go anywhere, and sat you all in the living room. Aoibhe had sat next to Fred and was holding both his hands in hers while he looked at the ground. You waited a minute, debating, before you sat down next to George and grabbed his hand in yours, looking at the ground, he glanced at your hands together before he too looked down. If anything happened with Mr. Weasley, you would be there for him through it all.
