Raven Valentine (Harry Potter Fan-Fiction) (Completed)

Chapter 2.

Flashback, Raven's Dream

"This is Crabbe, Goyle and Valentine, I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." Draco said to the small dark haired boy named Harry. I watched on as Draco spoke to him, my arms crossed as I stood squashed between Crabbe and Goyle.

Dream changed to another memory

I watched from my hiding space as Draco, Crabbe and Goyle spoke in the common room. I knew it was really Harry and Ron, Myrtle is my "friend". I watched grinning as Ron's hair started to turn orange as the Polyjuice Potion wore off. I wanted to scream at Draco to watch and see what's happening to the so called Crabbe and Goyle.

Dream changes again

We were standing there watching Buckbeak's 'assassination'. Draco spun around. "Ah come to enjoy the show!" Draco barely had time to finish when Hermione yelled, "You! You Foul, Loathsome, Evil Little Cockroach!" she drew here wand and pointed it at Draco's throat. "Hermione no! He's not worth it." Ron said. She eased her wand back as I walked in circles around Ron, Harry and Hermione. I'd just walked past Hermione and Draco when she pulled back her hand then punched him. His head cracked against the stone behind him and Draco and Crabbe ran. I stayed behind and glared at Hermione.  "Tell Seamus I say hi." I said smoothly and I gracefully walked back to Draco and Crabbe.  

I woke up startled as tears rushed to my eyes at the memories I'd dreamt. I can't believe I remember that from first year. I don't know why I'm crying, everyone has come so far since when we were first years, Draco is a Death Eater now and I suppose my real parents were Death Eaters too, maybe I could ask Draco to find them. No, they abandon me, even Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa didn't abandon Draco. What if my mother was Bellatrix? Then I'd be related to Harry's God Father. Oh God, I'd be Draco's cousin! Not that there's anything wrong with that, it would be cool, but i've known Draco for a while, he even knows about my crush on Blaise.
 "Raven are you crying?" Pansy asked me.
 "No." I said wiping the tears from my eyes.
 "Are you alright?" she asked propping herself up on one elbow.
"I'm Fine, Thanks Pansy." I guess the little witch did have a heart. Maybe she just thinks if she gets close to me Draco will like her more. Maybe I am just judgemental. "Go back to sleep Pansy." I said closing my eyes. "Yeah whatever Raven." She replied my eyes shot open and I sat up.
"Excuse me Parkinson?" I asked hand clutching my wand against my leg.
 "I was being nice, Valentine, you treat me like I'm lower than you!" Pansy snapped, my hand tightened on my wand. "We are Slytherin Pansy we aren't nice!" I yelled back. She drew her wand and pointed it at me, I kept mine at my side. "Do it, then. What's the worst you could do? The only spells that will stop me will land you in Azkaban!" I yelled at her, but her wand was still pointed at me and her eyes were burning. "Pansy." I said calmly. "Put your wand down." I put mine down on my bed. She lowered hers but didn't put it away. "Will you tell Draco?" Ah there it is, she wants Draco to know about her little bravado. "Why does it matter if Draco knows or not?" I asked eyebrow raised. She looked away. She put her wand in her pocket and climbed back into her bed. "Will you sleep?" I asked curiously. "No." she replied. I picked up my wand and lay down clutching it. My wand is dragon heartstring, ash and it is 12 and a half inches. My wand had intertwining green and silver lines wrapping around it. I love it. Ever since Olivander gave it to me I knew I was Slytherin. I guess I underestimate Pansy, But she was wrong, we are Slytherin we aren't here to make daisy chains and braid each other's hair! Draco doesn't like her though so that's ok. I guess we can keep her. She is a Pure-blood and her father was mistier of magic. Plus Draco is happy enough when she's around. I fell back asleep thinking about Parkinson.

Potions class with pansy and Draco

Harry and Ron burst in. Slughorn was delighted and I watched Harry and Ron fight for a book. While Slughorn went on about love potions, I noticed Pansy and Lavender drift forward. Hermione of course being a stuck up know-it-all, knew the names of every potion. Finally Professor Slughorn explained what was in the tiny vial, Liquid Luck. He continued saying that if we could brew a successful Draught Of Living Death we would be awarded with the tiny vial of Liquid Luck. I quickly got started and stood at the cauldron next to Pansy.

1.       Cut up the Sopophorous bean

This was harder than it sounds. The beans were flying everywhere, even Granger was struggling. I was watching Harry. He crushed the bean and squeezed the juice into the cauldron, Hermione looked dumbfounded. I copied what Harry did and to my great delight, was successful. I took great pleasure in watching Seamus's Draught explode in his face. Unfortunately at after the hour was up my Potion did not look like Harry Potter's. Something about that old book he got. Slughorn tested every one's potion with a leaf. He dropped the leaf into my Draught Of Living Death, It sizzled and sunk to the bottom. "Very close Valentine!" he said moving on to Pansy. Finally he got to Harry's and I rushed over to watch. Slughorn dropped the leaf in and it shrivelled up and disappeared. "It's perfect! I daresay one drop could kill us all!" Harry smirked, maybe I was the only one who saw it.

I need to get that book! Or at least find out who it belonged to. I rushed out of the class and spotted Ron. "Weasley! Ron!" he spun and spotted me, his eyes widened. "Valentine?" he asked. "Yes, Did you see who had Harrys book before him?" I asked. "No." he said and walked off. Yikes. I do have a reason for hating Gryffindor's!
