Ahhh, another amazing chapter. That was a lot of info for Harry to digest, though. It must have been quite cinfusing for him, especially as he didn't want to believe that Sirius might not be bad after all. He wants someone to blame for his parents' death.
You write so well! You understand people well and it really comes across in your story.

PAMS!!!!

If there is anyone out there that is still wanting to keep up with this story...I'm sorry. Between family issues and illness, I haven't had the time to get this chapter done. However, as soon as I click the "Post Quick Reply" button on this post, I am going to work on it. I'm pretty sure it's almost finished but I'd have to look at it to see. Once again, I'm sorry and I'm sure this story will be moved to inactive soon but rest assured it will be back up in the active section before you can blink. If I still have some readers out there, great! Please be patient for another day or so. I'm pulling for a new post tomorrow evening. Thanks for your understanding.

I got it up on the day I said I would!!! If anyone is left out there to read it, here it is!!!

---------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 8

A couple of days after their conversation, Harry was finally on speaking terms with Raven. He came to her and apologized for his behavior, and knew that she was only trying to give him another opinion to view about Black. He admitted that he was having a hard time wrapping his head around the idea of Black being innocent, but also swore that her secret was safe. Harry promised her that he wouldn’t tell anyone that she was Black’s niece until she was ready for it to be known.

Unfortunately, since her incident with Harry, Raven wasn’t very social with anyone, including George. Between the holidays and missing her father, and feeling unnerved because of all of the secrets she was keeping from everyone, she needed to find solace somewhere. Raven found herself sitting on a rock by the lake during those moments of needed solitude. Listening to the wind blowing through the trees and the water splashing on the rocks, relaxed her enough to give her some kind of comfort. She made herself realize that holding her secrets back, at least for now, was a good thing for everyone. And while she dwelled on memories of her father, she stopped realizing how much she missed him because he was never gone from her. Her memories were strong and his words to her were always running through her mind. As long as she had those, he was always around.

On Christmas Eve, Raven went up to the common room and found Fred and George hanging out in a corner talking quietly. As she walked up to them, Fred gave George a nudge. George looked at her and gave her a faint smile. She returned the smile and kneeled down next to him.

“Hey guys,” she said faintly. They returned hellos and the twins gave each other looks as the situation was incredibly awkward. Raven had not said anything to George in several days, not because she didn’t want to. After her long hours at the lake everyday, she came to the conclusion that George was an amazing, understanding person and when it comes time for the secrets to come out, he will understand her reasoning for keeping them silent. “Fred, do you mind if I borrow George for a minute or two?”

“Sure, but bring him back,” Fred said jokingly.

“If you insist,” she said smiling.

George stood up and held out his hand to help Raven stand. They walked over to the other side of the common room and looked around to see many people in the room staring at them, particularly Fred, Ron, Hermione and Harry.

“Let’s take a walk, shall we?” she asked.

“Where are we going? It’s nearly dinner,” he asked. "With the Dementors on guard, it's too late to leave the castle.”

“Like that has stopped you before,” she said with a little laugh. “Besides, I need to go to Snape’s office. Will you walk me there?”

“Why there?” he asked with a questionable look.

“I need to talk to Snape for a moment,” she said. “Come on!” she said grabbing his hand and pulling him toward the portrait hole.

The two of them exited the common room and started walking towards Professor Snape’s office. They barely left the common room before George asked again why they were going to see the potion master.

“I told you already,” she said. “Besides I wanted to speak to you alone. Do you mind?”

“Of course I don’t mind. What did you need to speak to me about?” he asked.

“I just wanted to apologize for my behavior the last several days. It has had nothing to do with you, I promise,” she said.

“I was beginning to think I did something,” George said. “Is it anything you want to talk about?”

“In due time, cutie,” she said. “Just know that I am sorry for being distant the past few days. The holidays are hard this year and I’m still a little upset about that whole incident with Draco last weekend.”

“It’s okay,” he said. “I figured you were having a hard time, this being the first Christmas without your father.”

“We had some great times this time of year,” she said. “But I’m ready for some new memories.” The two smiled and continued walking towards Snape’s office. Raven could sense that George was troubled by something. She also got the strong feeling that he was confused. “George? Want to tell me what’s on your mind?”

“I forget that you can tell that.” George seemed disappointed in himself that he let whatever feelings he had about something enter his mind. He looked back at Raven and took a deep breath. “Why did Draco kiss you?"

Raven shook her head. She had a feeling this question was lingering somewhere. But it was one of the many questions she wasn‘t ready to answer. "That is such a long story. It’s one I really don't want to get into now.”

“Why do you let him get to you? We tend to ignore him here. He‘s really only full of hot air."

"Could you have ignored that? Besides he's a prat and unfortunately he knows things about me and my family. He's just trying to torture me," she said. The subject was about to go too far and Raven wanted to end it now before another word was spoken. "Oh! Before I forget, during my little pity party this last week, it slipped my mind to get anyone Christmas presents. So, I didn't get you anything for Christmas. I hope you don't mind. But I will get something for you. I promise."

George stopped. "I don't mind. Besides, the one thing I want for Christmas is right in front of me," he said grabbing her hands.

"Oh, you like my shirt?" she asked looking down at the blue and black shirt she was wearing. "It was the last thing I bought in America before I came back over here. You can have it, but it may be a little too small for you," she said jokingly with a wink and huge grin. Raven knew what he was talking about but wanted to play around for a bit.

George smiled and rolled his eyes. After he shook his head, she laughed and the two continued walking.

"I didn't know you were such a romantic, Mr. Weasley," she said. "Where did that come from?"

"I don't know. Besides, it's gone. It‘s a spell I can only use once a year and it‘s been spent," he said joking back to her. "I used it all up."

"Really?" she said playing along. "Well, what a relief! I don‘t know if I could handle an exciting, romantic relationship. I, for one, am all about the boring and mundane."

“I thought I was supposed to be the funny one in this relationship,” he said stopping and giving Raven a puzzled look. "And I'm sure as boring as you are, I bet you aren't ticklish. People who are ticklish aren't boring and mundane."

"Me? Ticklish? Absolutely not!" she said nervously, taking faint steps backwards. Truth was she was horribly ticklish and wanted to end this before George got any ideas. Suddenly, she took off running.

A chase was on through the castle. George followed, dodging her quick u-turns and weaving in and out of statues. After a bit, she found herself getting tired and slowing down. It was enough for George to catch up with her. Once he caught up to her, he began to tickle her. She was screaming and laughing at the same time. She was trying so hard to get away but her laughter was too overwhelming.

Raven slipped out of George's grasp for a split second only to have him grab her hand and whip her around so that they were quite close to each other. Instead of laughing hysterically like they were before, they now had a nervous type of laugh that seemed to slow down with every breath they took. Both of them gazed into each other's eyes and Raven knew that this would be the moment. They were interrupted once before and she hoped it wouldn't happen again. As they were getting closer, Raven noticed George's face go pink and she felt her all of her blood rush to her face, which told her she was blushing too. Before any other thought came to her mind, they were locked in a kiss. A tremendous feeling came over Raven that she could not explain. Her body went numb but she was able to feel his arms around her and his lips touching hers. All of the magic that she was surrounded by everyday, put together, could not match up to the magic that she was feeling right now.

When they pulled away, both were speechless and still in a happy state of shock. Smiles came to their faces and it was a smile that they both knew would be a hard one to take away.

"I thought you said you had no romance left?" Raven asked softly.

"I lied," he responded in a daze.

For a moment they seemed to have no clue where they were.

"I'm appalled," she said jokingly. “Now it seems you’re a liar.”

George got down on one knee. "Whatever can I do to make it up to you?"

Raven pulled him up. "I think you made up for it just fine.”

The pair finally made it to Snape's office and Raven stopped just outside the door.

"Would you like to wait? This will only take a second," she said.

George nodded and Raven went up to the door and knocked. When she heard the grumble of her uncle's voice she walked in. Snape was at his desk, buried in parchment. He never looked to see who came into his office. Using that to her advantage, she tip-toed up to Snape's desk.

"BOO!" she yelled. Snape actually jumped. She was shocked that he was startled. "I want to talk to you."

"Is it important?" he snapped. “I am extremely busy."

"Look, I am having the most spectacular evening since arriving in this country. I really don’t care if you’re busy. So from niece to uncle...shut up!" she said, back with her usual confidence and still brimming with excitement from her kiss with George.

Snape's eyes were wide open and he looked completely dumbfounded. He was just about to speak but Raven beat him to it.

"I’ve been doing some thinking the last few days. I need you to help me with Sirius.“

Snape gave her an ill expression. “Absolutely not! The man is a murderer. And when he’s caught…oh, when he’s caught…I want to be there when the Dementors suck out what’s left of his soul.”

“Okay, have you lost it?” she asked wonderingly. “No, listen! I really don’t think Sirius did the things that he’s accused of. And if he’s caught, I want you to help me get the charges dropped.”

“First, why would I want to free Sirius Black from possible death and second, what would be the point? He’s guilty. We all know it?”

“Drop your grudge! Goodness! You are worse than the first years with your immaturity. Really, get a grip!” Raven rolled her eyes and sat on his desk. Snape became increasingly perturbed. “I mean, how old are you? Like a hundred? Isn’t it time to just let it go?”

Snape shifted around in his seat.

“You were one of Lord Hypocrite’s top Death Munchers, you would have known if Sirius was working with him.”

“The Dark Lord had many agents. How was I to know them all?”

“Because you would have known if one of your archenemies was working for your boss.”

Snape thought for a moment. “No, I can’t help you. And I’m not helping him.”

“You’re pathetic.” Raven stood up and walked toward the door. “You know, dad would have helped him.”

“You’re father was a different man when he left here. If he had stayed, he wouldn’t have.”

“Be that as it may. My dad would have helped free an innocent man. And the man that he spoke of in you, the other reformed Snape, would have also.” Raven turned back to face her uncle. “If it was anyone else…right?”

Snape never flinched. He never spoke. He never blinked.

“Explain your childhood grudge to me one day. Explain to me how an innocent man’s death is the perfect end to your sad little story. Then explain to me how that’s relevant.”

Raven shook her head then turned back toward the door. “Happy Christmas, Uncle Snape.“ She opened the door and left.

"That didn't take long," George said. "Is everything okay?"

"It‘s great! Just needed to wish my uncle a happy holiday," she said looking at George. “Come on, I’m starving. Dinner will be starting soon and we have to get to the food before Ron does.”

The couple headed to dinner where everyone was already seated. It seemed the day was wonderful for everyone. They were all smiling and having a ball. Even Harry was joining in with jokes and occasional food tossing between Ron and Fred. Raven couldn't be happier that the day turned out so well. She would just rather go to bed after dinner so nothing bad could happen. But after a little thought, she figured that anything bad couldn't ruin the day at all. As a matter of fact, anything bad would just be funny.

Chapter 9

OK my most favorite part of this whole thing, which i didnt tell you about before because i wanted to save it for my praising comment to you, is the first kiss. *major swoonish sigh* im such a girl, but that was amazing. You know me and romance go hand in hand. It made me blush just reading it.


Also, i agree with raven about her views on sirius. If he was innocent or not Snape would be the one person that could possibly know if Sirius was or was not a death eater. Very very good writing!


Fovorite phrase: “I mean, how old are you? Like a hundred? Isn’t it time to just let it go?”


lol makes me giggle...LOL


I love you...and i cant wait to read your next one...


ttys!

Okay...ya'll, my computer has been in the computer hospital for the last couple of weeks. So, the next chapter isn't finished. But I'm planning on sitting down tomorrow night and Sunday and working on it. AND if school is cancelled on account of the ice storm that is going to plow through here next week, then maybe i can work on it more. Cross your fingers for a minor ice storm that doesn't knock out power but cancels school. I don't want to go. Anyway, just wanted to update you. Thanks for your patience.

Yeah...if anyone is still keeping up...sorry. I currently do not have an internet connection and am borrowing someone elses just to type this. The holidays hurt my budget and I had to make a sacrifice. The chapter is done but I don't have the chapter on me to post it. If I can, I'll try and borrow again and have the chapter ready to post. I am insanely sorry for the wait. I'm really not this bad. Very sorry, once again.

New reader!
I love this story - intense, secretive... pretty dang funny Nearly burst out laughing at the 'boo' thing (I already got a weird look from the librarian at the weird, quiet laughing breath I made instead), I could totally picture that one.

Update when you can, we'll all wait

Yes...I know it's been a LONG time since my last post. Things have been hectic on my end. But I'm back and motivated. This chapter, I will admit, is not my best. I'm not thrilled with it but I guess for the purposes of getting my story up and running, I will have to settle. This is one of those chapters that is a "filler" chapter. Anyway, I can promise that the next one will be better. Thanks for coming back after my hiatus. Enjoy!

Chapter 9

The school year was going much better now that Snape seemed to be getting Draco off Raven’s back. Though every moment she opened the Daily Prophet and read about a Sirius Black sighting, she became anxious. She knew she was not being honest with George first with Malfoy and now with Black and she was slowly slipping into a deep amount of guilt. Her stomach would do a flip whenever a small thought came to her about George resenting her for not being truthful from the beginning.

On the other hand, things were going well between her and George and her other friends…for the most part. Harry had been quite distant from her. Raven knew that everything she had told him would be a lot to swallow. He was never mean or coarse to her, but she could sense that her defense of Sirius was causing him to be cautious as to what he said. There were many days when the Sirius Black topic came up; Harry looked like he wanted to lash out at Raven. Which Raven always took as it being totally understandable.

One day during a study session in the library, Raven, George and Fred were sitting in the library and a small group of Ravenclaw fifth years walked by and were talking about the latest Black sighting. Raven rolled her eyes and a feeling of frustration came over her.

George leaned in close to her and whispered, “What’s wrong?”

Raven shook her head.

George put his arm around Raven’s chair and turned his body to face her. He leaned in much closer to her. “Raven, I’m smarter than you think. Something is wrong.”

Raven closed her eyes and then turned to smile at George. She gently kissed his cheek and instead of pulling away, she whispered, “Not now.”

Harry, Ron and Hermione were sitting at a nearby table. Raven looked over at Harry, who also heard the other student’s conversation about Black. She noticed that he looked unsettled by the news. Harry, then, looked over at Raven and immediately put his head back into his book as if she knew what he was thinking.

Fred suddenly popped his quill on the table. “I think that if Black tried to break into Hogwarts, I think the entire school could take him.”

“Oh yeah! A bunch of amateur witches and wizards could take on a murderer. It would be easy,” said George, sarcastically.

“I think that if every student in the school threw a bunch of ineffective hexes at him, he would fall.”

“But if the ineffective hexes were effective, they wouldn’t be ineffective. Would they?”

“Yes, one ineffective spell wouldn’t do any good but throw a bunch together and they would be quite effective.”

“If you are going for effect, why not try something with an already established effectiveness?”

“The affect of the ineffective can have an affect if the ineffective is brought on by many and not just a few.”

“Will you two shut up?” interjected Raven. “Just this conversation alone is giving me an undesired affect.”

Fred laughed. “You said ‘affect.’”

Raven rolled her eyes.

“Are you sure everything is okay?” asked George.

“We’ll talk later,” whispered Raven.

Harry and Hermione decided to scoot over to sit with Raven and the twins. Ron was delayed as he was slow getting his stuff together.

“If you ask me,” said Raven, “I think that the whole school getting worked up over Sirius Black is ridiculous. He would be mad to try to break in here. First off, he would have to get past the Dementors and they are out for his soul. If he happens to get past them, he’d have to get past the professors, and all of them combined would make him go crawling to the Dementors. If he gets past his first two trials unscathed, THEN he would have to get through us.”

“With Harry at the helm, Black won’t stand a chance,” said Ron, who finally made it over to the table.

“I’m sure Raven would want to talk to him first,” said Harry quietly.

Raven’s head popped over Harry’s direction. He promised her he wouldn’t say anything about her relationship to Black to anyone else.

“What is that supposed to mean?” asked George. “Raven wants Black caught as much as all of you.”

Raven was hardly aware of what George said. “Yes, Harry,” she said very coy, “tell us what you mean by that.”

Harry slammed his hand down on the table, which knocked over Fred’s inkwell. The ink spilled all over Fred’s clothes and the essay he was working on. “You know what I mean, Raven! Why would you want to talk to Sirius Black before I got my hands on him? I think you‘ve been holding onto this longer than you should have!”

Raven stood up so fast she knocked her chair on the floor. She reached out her hand and, without uttering a single word, the mess of ink cleared up. Everyone in the group, except for Harry, sat and watched with their mouths wide open.

“How’d she do that?” whispered Ron to Hermione.

“I know exactly what you mean, Harry! Because you just HAD to open your mouth, I guess I should let our friends know our little secret, right? I mean, that is what you had in mind. Since you seem to be the one holding all the cards, why hold this one back?” Raven gave Harry a look that would break glass. She put both hands on the table and leaned forward. She hung her head and took a deep breath. “What I am about to say will, I’m sure, be school news before dinner. I would like for you to keep it quiet but as I’ve just seen with Mr. Potter here, that won’t be a possibility.”

The whole group with the exception of Harry looked confused and troubled by what was taking place. Harry looked straight ahead with no expression. Raven looked at Harry and sensed his regret. Raven took another deep breath and thought, “the day was going to come eventually. I might as well make it a show while I’m here.”

“Yes, if I am ever face-to-face with Black, I want to talk to him. I have some questions for him. And before I tell you why I want to speak to him, let me say that the only reason I never told any of you was because I was afraid of what you would think of me.” Raven hung her head again and then looked at George. “I’m his niece. Sirius Black is my uncle.”

There was an incredibly long pause. Everyone was looking at each other to find out what to say next. Harry and Raven looked at each other with blank expressions. Both were ashamed of what just happened, both wanted to speak words of forgiveness but too in shock to mutter anything out.

“Okay, that’s great and all,” said Ron, finally, “but how did you do that? You cleaned up the mess without a word or a wand. Only powerful wizards have that kind of ability.”

Now that the silence was broken, a small air of relief came over the group. Raven was able to find her chair and set it back into place, Harry was able to blink, and everyone else was now able to close their mouths.

Raven took a deep breath and looked over at Harry who was clearly regretful. She gave him a small smile and it seemed understood between them that all was forgiven. "I will tell you this entire story, if you keep your mouths quiet. Especially you, Fred. You can't keep your mouth shut to save your life," she said winking at Harry.

"What is that supposed to mean?" he asked. Everyone looked at him and gave a hint of a laugh. Then Fred agreed with Raven that he was a bit of a loud mouth.

After the cackling stopped, they all, including Fred, agreed to never speak of this to anyone. Raven began explaining to them the story of her family. They were all surprised with the exception of Harry. Then, no one seemed to mind that she was related to Sirius Black. What everyone really wanted to know was how she got her powers.

"My grandmother, on my mother‘s side of the family, possessed the same powers that I do. The only ones who knew were her immediate family members. Her problem was that she had no one to teach her how to control them," she said. “Her powers of Legilimency were not controlled and hearing and seeing everyone's memories and emotions caused her to go mad. At least that‘s what I heard."

“I thought you had to cast a spell for it,” said Hermione.

"Most of the time, you do. People, who are extremely proficient at it, don’t have to. Like any spell, if I just concentrate on it, I can do it without uttering a word. Only I can just look at you and see what your feeling or if your lying or whatever. It's completely natural for me," Raven knows she was sounding self-confident but felt embarrassed. She hated talking about herself this much. "Magic is as natural for me as blinking or breathing. Just as I can close my eyes and hold my breath, I can control my magic. If I want to use a wand, I can but I don't have to. I only use it here at school because Professor Dumbledore and my uncle asked me to, that way not everyone knows and starts asking questions," she said looking at Fred.

"Is that why Snape wanted you to go to Hogwarts?" asked Hermione. "Did he feel you were not safe with Black running around?"

"Pretty much. But the thing is that Black has no clue that I exist," Raven said rolling her eyes. "Snape feels he has to protect me for some reason. Since he hates Black, he feels he's dangerous."

"But he is dangerous. He's a murderer," said Ron.

"You know muggles have this great system of law, at least in the States, that says that suspects are innocent till proven guilty," she said. "Were you there to witness the events that sent him to Azkaban? Did anyone see Black kill anyone? No, you have assumptions, and hearsay."

"You think he's innocent?" asked Ron looking perplexed.

"I think there is more to the story," she said feeling awkward because Harry still had ill feelings towards Sirius. "The ministry has always been quick to judge to protect themselves or to make them look good for all of us. They don't want to show the wizarding world that they have lost a bit of control."

"Strong accusations, don't you think?" asked Hermione who also seemed to be worried about Harry's reaction.

"No! Opinions keep us sane and accusations just make the opinions feel justified," she said with a small smile.

George immediately got up and headed out of the library. He didn't seem too happy. They all looked at George, then Raven, then at each other confused at his sudden exit.

"Excuse me," she said, gathering her stuff. "I'll see you guys later."

Raven ran out of the library to find George. He got out of sight quick. She couldn't find him anywhere. The worried feeling in the pit of her stomach increased with every step she took. In the back of her head, Raven knew that there would be that one chance that George wouldn't take the news too well about her being related to the Black family.

"George!" she found him standing in the clock tower looking over the grounds of Hogwarts. "Hey cutie, you walk too fast."

As she walked behind him, he never moved. He just continued to stare out the window. For the first time in a while, Raven had no clue what to say. She has her reasons for holding out on him and not telling him her story, she just hoped he would listen to her.

"Look, George, I know I should have told you this a long time ago. I was afraid that..."

"You don't have to explain," he said quietly. "I know why you didn't tell me. But is there anything else you are holding back?"

Raven didn't know what to say. Fortunately, George was still turned around so he could not see the apprehension on her face. She didn't know if she should tell him about the contract with Draco or not.

“Haven’t you had enough for one day?” she asked lightly. She hoped that the news of the day would be enough for him to take.

“There is something else.” George never turned away from the window and it began to scare Raven.

“George, turn around.”

“Is there anything else you’re hiding from me?” he sounded as though he was getting angry.”

One of Raven’s eyes started to well up with a tear. “Yes, but do we have to go through that now? I’ve done enough confessing for one day.”

“Are you going to tell me, or not?”

Raven immediately felt guilty. Nevertheless, she couldn‘t tell George about the contract. It wouldn‘t make sense. It would be years before the contract would be final and so much can happen between now and then. Why upset George with details of her life that aren‘t even applicable at this point? “When the time comes I promise I will tell you. But for now can’t I just be the crazy niece of Sirius Black?”

“You promise you’ll tell me? I mean you are not going to just spring it on me or anything.”

“I promise that when the time comes I will tell you. In the meantime, let’s just enjoy each other. We’ve only been together for a little while. I thought guys liked mystery in their women.”

“We do,” George said turning around, “but when the details of your life consist of convict uncles and all-powerful ancestors, I can’t help but wonder what else you’re hiding and how big it could be.”

“Why did you first start liking me, George?”

“You’re different. You’re smart. You’re beautiful.” George caressed the side of her face then dropped his hand into hers. “And you’re mysterious.”

“Then why unlock the mystery in the first few chapters? Find our more of the main character before you flip to the back of the book.”

“I wanted to give you something," George said quietly.

Raven noticed George was holding something behind his back. He pulled out a flower that she had never seen before. It was like a lily, only a light almost violet purple. When he held the flower, the buds were closed but it was still quite beautiful. Raven took the flower from George's outstretched hand and the flower began to open up and glowed slightly.

"It is so beautiful, George," she said. Anything that she had felt before this moment, melted away and she found herself more in love with George with every split second that passed. "What kind of flower is this?"

"It's called the Lily Ut Diligo, It means lily that loves," he said only looking at the flower. "I had to look through every herbology book in school to find it. When I saw it, I wanted to give it to you. The moment I picked it, the petals closed up and I was worried that it wouldn't open up again. Then I read about it. According to the book, when you give it to someone you love and that person feels the same way, the petals will open back up and the flower will only die when the love does."

"It's absolutely gorgeous," she said.

George and Raven were about to kiss when they were rudely interrupted.

"Oh how cute," said a cold voice only recognizable as Draco's. "The little love birds are having a moment. You couldn’t afford to buy her something, Weasley? You had to pick it out of a field?"

"Shut up, Draco!" snapped Raven. She was trying very hard to keep her cool. Raven immediately grabbed George's hand and started to walk away.

Draco grabbed Raven‘s arm and whispered, "How long do you think George will let you sit on your secret?"

“Longer than it will take for me to seriously mess up your already ugly face,” she whispered back.

Draco caressed her arm. “You know I love dangerous women.”

Before Draco could react to what he said, Raven elbowed him in the stomach. While he was doubled over in pain, Raven outstretched her hand. Draco rose up into the air and began clutching his throat.

“Raven! You’re choking him!” yelled George trying to stop her.

“I’m barely squeezing!” The look in Raven’s eye would suggest otherwise.

“You’re enjoying this! Stop!” George ran over and pulled Raven’s arm down. Just as Raven dropped her hand, Draco fell to the floor.

"RAVEN SNAPE!" shouted a voice.

It was as if she was knocked out of a trance. Everything seemed so surreal. Raven looked over and saw Professor Lupin standing at the other end of the corridor with his wand outstretched towards her.

She looked over at George who looked petrified. She realized no matter how real or unreal it felt, or was, she was in major trouble. What was a little more?

"You're crazy! What were you thinking?” shouted Draco frantically. "My father will hear about this!"

"Yeah, yeah. Go on and tattle on me to your daddy," Raven said with a bit of a grin. "I'm sure he'll be more impressed than upset."

"RAVEN!" shouted Lupin, who has now lowered his wand.

Raven turned to look at George who still seemed to be at a loss for what just happened. As she passed by Draco, who was still on the floor whining, she acted as if she was going to hit him, which made him flinch. Raven looked again at George who was now smiling but cautiously.

Lupin and Raven made the long journey to his office. She had never had a talk with Lupin before. He was a great professor and seemed to be kind and lenient. However, she was not exactly sure what he was going to do about what he just saw.
