QUICK AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hi! This is Noari! A quick introduction to myself, this is my first story on ! I also had an HP fanfic, but that is yet to be uploaded! Since this wouldn't fit in the description (And I had to shorten like six words ten bajillion times to fit the "Rated K+ for yada yada" in _), I ought to say now: Please read and review; Flames and Constructive Criticism welcome! Thanks so much, and I hope you enjoy my writing!


The news of her grandfather dying struck Raven like a truck. It happened so suddenly. And now, Gramma was moving in, and her mother was saying, "Raven! Gramma has to take your room. Now remember, your father and I love you very, very much, but you have to move away. We've found a wonderful city near Gramma's old town, that has a name like yours. It's called Raeville, and we'd like you to stay there. It's very safe there; I've heard even the mayor is so nice, and there is no crime!" How many trucks could hit Raven in a day?

So, the next day, Friday, Raven said goodbye to all her friends at school.

"You're MOVING?!" her best friend, Cayne, said. "Nice knowin' ya, kid. Bye!" she jokingly said as she hugged Raven. "In all seriousness, though, it's gonna to be boring without chya."

"Don't worry, I'll write," Raven said, "my mother said they had an excellent mailing system there."

So, Saturday, the next day, Raven set out - All her bags packed, and went on a bus, with a weird frog driver, and a strange cat. Was there something Mother wasn't telling her?...
