Merry Christmas:

Diana Heart

"James and Gin- oh gosh, Po-Harry, I'm so sorry," Hermione whispered with a choked-back sob.

Back at the lab, Aiden was looking at the remains. "Based off the clothes, James could have been sexually assaulted before he was killed."

"How do you know that?" Diana asked.

"James was stabbed under the rib cage sometime while he was alive-" Aiden began.

"And that killed him?" Diana interrupted curiously.

"Not necessarily. Do you want to know or not?" Aiden asked.

"Yeah, sorry."

"He was stabbed, but his shirt has no hole. There's blood on the shirt where the wound is, but if he had been wearing the shirt, there would be a hole."

"But what if his shirt was pulled up and then he was stabbed?" Diana asked.

"That would be a reasonable guess, but there's not enough blood at the end of his shirt for his shirt to have been stabbed while it was pulled up," Aiden explained.

"I've got to head home, I'll see you later?" she asked kissing him lightly

"Of course." He nodded before turning to Hermione "Dr. Granger what do you think?"

"James was sexually assaulted before he died." Hermione agreed biting her lip "And Ginny?"

"Stabbed through the heart, though her arm bones have hairline fractures."

"She fought back," Hermione said

Harry walked into the lab "I have a suspect."

"Who?" Aiden asked

"Diana Heart."

**********B**********O**********N**********E**********S***********

"You think I killed James?" Diana asked as she sat in the hard metal chair.

"You were the only one who was with James alone rather than his mother!" Harry snapped

"I was James' best friend! You think I'm cruel enough to sexually abuse him and then murder him and his mother and dump them in a graveyard?!" she cried tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Diana didn't do anything." Aiden told Hermione from the other side of the glass "I know she didn't."

"Harry's positive she did it."

"Why did you kill him?" Harry asked his eyes boring into hers

"I didn't kill James!" she sobbed

"Don't lie to me!" Harry shouted. "My son and ex-girlfriend were killed, and I'll find out who did it!" he hissed.

"I didn't do it, Potter, believe me," Diana sobbed.

Harry glared at her for a second, and then asked, "Was there anyone suspicious that you remember, someone who James or Ginny might have seemed afraid of?"

"No," Diana said shaking her head "Ginny never mentioned anything. James never talked much."

"The signs are all pointing to you. Things don't look so good." Harry hissed as he pulled the pictures out of a file. Diana turned her head away.

"I would have never done that to James." she cried

"I don't trust you, I'm going to hold you overnight." he got up and left the room.

He stood in the other room with Hermione and Aiden. Diana had her hands covering her face as she sobbed. Aiden put his hand up against the glass.

"She didn't do it." Aiden replied

"I don't believe that. She had a key to their house; she knew where everything was. She did it." Harry said

"Potter," Hermione started

"I'm sure she did it. I'm going to bring her to justice."

"She never had a family, he was jealous of James'. So she killed him and then Ginny. She's upset that she got caught." Harry said turning to the window "Where's Aiden?"

Hermione was turning the volume up so they could listen to the conversation. Aiden opened the door and Diana ran into his arms.

"I didn't do it." she whispered her voice ragged

"I know,"

"What's he going to do to me?" she asked looking at him.

"I don't know." he replied

"I'm innocent.''

"I know."

"I'm scared."

"Look, Potter." Hermione said her hands on her hips "She's terrified."

"As she should be."

"Potter," Hermione snapped. "What if I said that you killed my parents and locked you up."

"But I didn't kill your parents," Harry said.

"But you were the last person who was with them. Of course you murdered them. No one else could have done it, because you were the last person who I heard about who had contact with them," Hermione said.

"But Bones, I didn't kill your parents," Harry said.

"Diana didn't kill James and Ginny either." Hermione said, "she's terrified."

Aiden walked back in "She wants out."

"Well she can't get out!' Harry snapped before driving home. Harry was sitting on his couch later in the night when he heard a knock on his door.

"Bones, what are you doing here?" he asked

'We need to talk. Or I need to talk.'' she said stepping inside.

Harry led her to the couch and looked at her growing abdomen. He placed his hand over it.

"What did you want to talk about?" he asked

"This," she smiled putting her hand on his cheek and kissing him.

Harry woke up and sat up in his bed. It was only a dream.

"Why did I dream of snogging Bones?" he wondered aloud.

Harry didn't get any more decent sleep that night.

The next day, they were standing in front of Jessie's hologram image.

"So James was stabbed right here" she explained as the image played out. "But what we can't figure out is how he actually died. Being stabbed would have killed him eventually, but not immediately, it would have taken him at least an hour, possible more, to die of blood loss.'

"We already know who did it! Throw her behind bars!" Harry snapped

"We can't do that, we don't have evidence." Hermione said

"James was sixteen, he had hit puberty when he was twelve. If Diana is pregnant then it's her."

"James and Ginny were only found yesterday, it would take five weeks to even know." Jessie said

"Then we'll wait five weeks. She killed them."

**********B**********O**********N**********E**********S**********

"She's pregnant, positive results." Harry said slamming the file on Hermione's desk.

"You can't be sure that it's James'." Hermione said "It could be Aiden's."

"It's just a coincidence that she's pregnant five weeks after James and Ginny are found dead?" Harry asked

"I'll question her, you scare her." Hermione said

*********B**********O**********N**********E**********S**********

"Did you ever do anything with James?" Hermione asked

"NO!" Diana exclaimed, "James was my friend. I would never do anything-"

"THEN EXPLAIN WHY YOU'RE PREGNANT!" Harry yelled slamming the test result on the paper.

Diana looked up with a defensive look on her face.

"I would call a lawyer." Harry said. Elizabeth Lupin soon arrived.

"Harry you're accusing my Client for being withchilded with your sons child?"

"No, Elizabeth I'm accusing her for murdering Ginny and James!" he retorted

"I swear Elizabeth the baby isn't James'! I didn't do anything! The baby is Aiden's!" Diana cried

Elizabeth looked at Harry. "We can wait eight months and then do a DNA test, or we can use veritaserum."

Harry's gaze hardened. "I left that world. I don't want anything to do with it."

Elizabeth sighed. "It's Christmas day, Potter, we all want to be home drinking coffee. Please, just once, and we'll be done with this?" she pleaded.

"Fine," Harry agreed.

Elizabeth brought out a tiny bottle and put three drops on Diana's tongue.

"What's your name?"

"Diana Isabella Heart."

"Are you pregnant with James Weasley's child?"

"No," Diana said.

"Did you kill James or Ginny Weasley?" Elizabeth asked another question.

"No."

"Did you have anything to do with their deaths?"

"No."

"Who is the father of your child, then?"

Diana was silent.
