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

Chapter 4.

She screamed and jumped onto her bed. Is she really so thick? I slithered up the bed post and onto the bed. She threw a pillow at me and It soared over my head. Tsk. I slithered off the bed and transformed. “Breathe a word of this to anyone and I’ll kill you, or worse, tell Draco you put the Love potion in his drink on purpose and you have to live with that.” I transformed back into snake and slithered to the common room. I wonder where Professor Snape had taken Draco. I’ll try the hospital wing. I slithered there and hid under a bed until Snape had gone and Draco closed his eyes. I coiled around the bed post and looked at him. He was alive. Why hasn’t Potter been punished yet? I would get him after I check on Draco. He opened his eyes and tried to move back but he was in a hospital bed and couldn’t. He grabbed his wand and pointed it at me. Time to go! I slithered away from the bed only to sense and hear Draco saying the spell. “Confringo!” Draco yelled. I transformed, grabbed my wand and yelled, “Protego!” before Draco had finished half the spell. I shielded myself from his dangerous spell and glared at him for trying to use the blasting curse on me and finding out my secret. “Valentine!” he snarled. “Malfoy.” I mocked his tone.
“Why, what?!” he looked very, very confused.
“Draco, honey, put two and two together and what do you get?” I asked taking a step toward him. He was almost as pale as his hair. “Draco?” I asked less harsh.
“Animagus.” He said. I nodded and smiled. He started to smile too. “Who else knows?” he asked. “You, Parkinson, Professor McGonagall.” I said.
“What- McGonagall?” he asked
. “She’s teaching me.” Draco nodded slowly. I pasued, “Also, umm, Dumbledore’s army.” He shivered but remembered why, back in fifth year when he found me in the room of requirement. He reached out a hand and I grabbed it. He pulled me in close and whispered in my ear. I pulled back and stepped away. I had a premonition but Draco just confirmed it. He needs to kill Dumbledore. “Can you do it?” I asked. And of course Draco being the self-absorbed bighead that he is says, “I have to, I don’t have a choice, of course I can do it.” You big oaf. I thought. Why would you say that, as much as I despise Dumbledore, he is important and I promise, Draco most certainly won’t kill him. “How are you feeling?” I asked sitting on the edge of his bed.
“Fine.” I wanted to ask what spell but I knew. Sectumsempra. I had never heard that spell before. Maybe it had come out of Harry’s book. “How did you know I would be here?” he asked.
“I stole the Marauders Map from Potter, I was looking for you, I was with you, I told Harry to go, but he was still there when Snape arrived, he, he healed you Draco. And I was standing there crying, I was covered in your blood…” I choked. His eyes wide with surprise at everything I had just said. I stepped back. “Oh my God.” I said eyes wide.
“What, Valentine, what?” Draco pressed.
“I threatened to kill Pansy.” I said and sprinted back toward the Dungeons.

“Pansy. I’m sorry.” I said, rehearsing. I was nearly at the girls dorms. “Pansy, hi, I’m not going to kill you.” No I am definitely not saying that, actually I think I will. I rushed in and Pansy screamed. “Don’t die!” I yelled. No wait. “No, that’s not right, I meant I won’t kill you.” She smiled like an idiot. “I know that.” I rolled my eyes. “Did you just let me make a fool out of myself?” I asked her. “Yes.” She replied still grinning. I grabbed my pillow and threw it at her. It hit her square in the head. “Oh!” she threw one back. We ended up using our wands to create more pillows. As much as I hate to admit it, we had fun.

“You mention this to anyone and…” I couldn’t threaten her again. So I said, “Never mind, just don’t tell anyone, especially Blaise, that I am an animagus. Also don’t mention the uh…” I motioned to the feather covered beds. She smiled. “Sure, snake.” I hissed at her. “Did you say Draco cursed Katie Bell?” Pansy asked dusting feathers of her bed. “Oh. Woops, I think I did. You can’t tell anyone, especially not Potter.” I said.
“Why would I tell Potter?” She growled. I shrugged. 

By this time it was pretty late considering I had seen Draco then had the pillow thing with Pansy. I fell into a deep sleep.

I woke up with a start. I walked to the great hall and saw Dean and Seamus sitting near Ron, Hermione and Harry. I looked at the Slytherin table then back at Gryffindor. I sat down next to Hermione. She moved back like I’d stung her. I hissed gently and put a finger to my lips. “I’ve always wanted to know, Granger, why you didn’t tell everyone that I was an animagus?” I asked. Seamus was staring at me so I winked at him and his piece of toast dropped in to his glass of orange juice. I put the back of my hand against my mouth, turned my head away and laughed, Ron grinned and elbowed Seamus in the stomach. “I didn’t tell because you didn’t.” Hermione said simply. “You could’ve got me in trouble with Draco, why not, even I know that sometimes he goes overboard.” This time it was Harry who answered, “You aren’t Draco, you hang out with him, but you aren't him and he’s your friend.” “Plus,” Ron added, “Malfoy fancies you.” I raised my eyebrows at Ron and this time it was Seamus’s turn to elbow Ron. I turned my head to look at Seamus. “Seamus says hi.” Ron said waving Seamus’ hand at me. I laughed and so did Hermione. “I’m going to go eat breakfast now, at the Slytherin table, and Thanks Hermione, for fifth year. Oh and don’t mention this to anyone.” I started to walk off but decided I had one last thing to say.
“Raven Says never in a million years, bye Seamus!”

I laughed as I recounted the story to Blaise who smirked, I only told the parts about Seamus and Ron. Blaise sniggered when I told him what I said before I left. “What’s so funny?” Pansy walked up to us. “Raven just embarrassed Finnigan in front of all of Gryffindor.” Blaise said. Pansy smirked and walked off again. I left the great hall after eating scrambled eggs and a Danish. I had a class but what do I care? It would mean having to make more smart comments to Dean and Seamus and I really wasn’t in the mood. I went back to my dorm and started to do some homework of my own. Recounting every Past Slytherin student I know.

Don’t question me. I know my history. There are two more names I want to add but I can’t be completely sure but I just have this feeling, when the sorting hat was placed on my head it said, "Hmm, Miss Valentine. Been a while since i sorted your parents, a real tradgedy. SLYTHERIN!" I remember the feeling of having the hat fit perfectly on my head, the way it moved around and how it’s voice echoed and boomed around my head. Back then the tall for her age, Blond haired, Green eyed witch had only Blaise as a friend because my hate for Parkinson was ten times worse back then. I need to ask Draco about my parents.
