The castle filled with laughter and fits, it was all the norm at Hogwarts. Raven Stratford was among the many who laughed mainly with the golden trio. She was well known at Hogwarts for being the bully of the bullies, the blonde, the only American, the vampire. She didn't mind it much, she know what she was and had learned through all her long years to accept what she was. As the halls quieted down the gang headed down to the dungeons where an already grumpy Snape scowled at them when they entered. Snape glared at the small group as they took their normal seats.

"Late again...what a surprise." his voice like silk. Raven rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"Gee professor you seem grouchy....surprise..." she twiddled her fingers receiving laughs from across the classroom. She and Snape had this thing where they would come up with insults for one another, seeing who could out do who. It wasn't a harmful exchange of words it was more like a humorous game. Raven won this time, she could tell by the way he shook his head trying to conceal the smile that would normally drive a young woman wild. Snape began his lesson, some of the kids already half bored and as usual Hermione's eyes were fixed on her professor. After another longing glance Raven raised an eyebrow.

"Uhh you do realize that you have stared at him for a half an hour without blinking right?" she asked the brunette. When Hermione didn't respond Raven waved her hand over the girls face. "Hello..." she called out again. She gave up and shook her head.

"Is there a problem Miss Stratford?" Snape asked hearing the commotion. "Perhaps you would like to enlighten us as to why you find it necessary to talk during my class.." he crossed his arms in his usual fashion and waited as the girl shook her head again. She pointed a finger at Hermione.

"She's nuts that's what..." she said. Hermione still wasn't responding. Snape sighed heavily seeing what the problem was.

"Very well." he turned back to his board. Hermione smiled and finally looked at Raven.

"He is something isn't he?' she asked dreamily. Raven cringed.

"Yeah something.." she turned back to her book. Hermione frowned and glared at her.

"What is that supposed to mean?" she accused not caring whether or not they were interrupting. raven placed her hand over the other girls mouth. Once she knew that Hermione wouldn't speak another word she leaned in and whispered.

"I mean is that he's...I don't know...just he's a professor and you are always one for the rules." she said waiting for Snape to pass them and leaned in again. "Its absolutely forbidden." she sat back up and watched the small girl frown.

"I bet there's a place at St. Mungo's for Granger.." Draco chimed in. Raven turned around in her seat.

"Oh and i hear there's been a fresh body in Azkaban...how is daddy dearest doing?'' she cooed in a sarcastic tone. Draco glared at her and stood up. She stood too smiling. "Aww isn't daddy doing so well?" Draco's hands shook in embarrassment and rage.

"Shut up!"

"Enough both of you!" Snape yelled stepping toward them. Draco stepped toward her again yet she stood there unmoved.

"Aww what's wrong Draco? Mad that you death eater daddy was exposed? Well that should be good for your mommy she's been out of business for a while." Draco leapt at her trying ot get a hold of the girl who had insulted him. She grabbed his shirt collar and flung him across the room.

"Stupefy!" Snape yelled sending Raven across the room hitting the door. The room feel completely silent. Everyone stared at Draco and Raven as they both stood up watching each other. Snape grabbed hold of Raven's long hair and tugged on it. "Get to your dorm we'll speak later.." he growled in her ear as he shoved her out the door. She heard more commotion come from the classroom. She rubbed the sore spot on her neck and walked down the hallway she had gotten into fights with Draco and his goons plenty of times, in other classrooms but never in Snape's. She knew was in trouble for what she did. As shut the door to the females dorm and laid down on her bed and waited for what her professor had planned for her.
