All through the years in Hogwarts, there never has been a Ravenclaw who was as troublesome as an animagus from the Noble and Most Ancient house of Black than a girl named Raven Gauntly. She is an animagus as well but not like any other known. Most of these animagus wizards and witches had gotten their form by a potion or through genetics but she, on the other hand, she had the genetic gene passed down to her. No one in her family was able to access it since it hasn't been known on how to access a gene passed down in the family if there was no letter on how. Well not until Raven found journals of her ancestor, Victoria Edwards. An old British family with wealth and unbearable mentions of great death. Only Raven had learned of all the deaths that occurred in the family and the truths behind them. The original family had covered it up in the logs at the Edwards-Gauntly estate so that no one bothered to ask why or how they died. As soon as Raven found the journals, she couldn't believe what actually happened. She was shocked to see behind all the lies the last century brought to her family. The years had been rough on her at Hogwarts since her family was made out of half bloods for generations and being a half blood witch for all of her life. It was clear that her first year at this school, unknown to muggles, was going to change her life for the possible worst or better. It all depended on what happened. Is she going to be expelled from the school or was she going to be quite the student when she becomes good friends with Lily Evans and the rest of their year? **(Slow updates.) This is the story before the other book about the new generation of Black children of both Sirius and Regulus. This is really old too so please be aware that this was recently rewritten for the better. This is the only version of it. No mature content. Number 1 of two parts. Please read this one first.**All Rights Reserved
