Raven is a Snake

Sixth Year

After Hogwarts finished Raven finally took the Muggle exams that had been set up for her the year before. After the week of the exams she spent about a week looking herself in a room that she had been given to stay in. After a while she pulled herself back together and threw herself back to a place she usually got a summer job and started saving the money that she earned so that she could try and find a place in the year after, she did her best to stay out of McGonagall's way, only seeing her properly when they sat together for food when neither were busy, whether studying or at work for Raven or Order business and Hogwarts preparation for McGonagall.

After a while she had a letter turn up with her results, and for a little while she forgot about the sadness and grinned at her passing grade and ran to talk to her Aunt Minnie talking at a fast rate happily about passing the exams she gained to do the courses she'd have to do to get the medical courses next in the Muggle education system, sixth form.

McGonagall smiled happily listening to her as she spoke happily till the words, "Dad'll be so proud!" Passed Ravens lips and she suddenly stopped talking and looked down in silence. And McGonagall moved to her pulling her into a careful hug which raven accepted for a moment before pulling back and giving her a forced smile and saying she was going to write to Remus and a couple of friends. And leaving the room.

Raven sat and wrote letter to Mooney and the twins with usual starting, informing them of her gained grades and asking how they were in return wanting to make sure they were safe, or as safe as they could be.

When she got a reply, it came in one envelope Remus's being simplistic and short congratulating her, but telling her he couldn't talk much and the twins were more talkative in their letter congratulations and mocking the grades she'd gained and seemingly leaving a black space at the bottom of the letter blank. And she frowned a moment before moving and lighting a candle placing the letter in front of it and lettering appeared explaining in very few details that they'd be going on an order mission to get Harry to a safe place and they'd send message once everything was over and safe. She paused and took a slow breath at the words before standing and taking the letter and candle to the bathroom and setting the letter alight watching it burn till she dropped it in the sink, incase their was more info coded that she'd missed that could get any of them hurt.

She spent the next couple of days throwing herself into research for her muggle education and waiting on the twins letter to come. Ending with a lost of course and places for her to be able to go to learn and how she'd be able to continue on her chosen path.

She finally got a letter from them and she relaxed even laughing at the stupid joke made about George loosing his ear. Smiling at the invitation to the wedding and pausing and blinking returning a letter to the pair question how she'd get there and whether she'd be expected to where a dress. In return they told her the invitation would get her their and sent a dramatic frilly pink dress which she just stared at in disgust for a while and picked up the note attached.

' You HAVE to at least try this on, we bought it for you, its a gift don't be rude!'

And she groaned and picked up the dress and sighed trying the dress on without much hope that she like it. Once on she moved to the mirror and wrinkled her nose at the look and then the dress shimmered lightly and the pink faded to a dark green colour and the ruffles fell into a more simple dress and she spun carefully and smiled and chuckled at the small silver snake design moving up the side and the subtle blue tint that showed when she moved.

She sent back a letter in thanks back to the pair calling them out on a good prank and telling them they'd need to teach her the spell at some point, before heading back to her desk reading through books for hogwarts and setting things up ready to go to the wedding.
