I don't own any of the Harry Potter or Teen Titans characters. They belong to J.K. Rowling and DC Comics, respectively.


Jump City, CA. August 27th, 2004(Friday)

The Teen Titans were having a very quiet, routine afternoon. Of course, there was usually very little crime that took place at 4 p.m. on Friday afternoons. The criminals usually didn't come out until later, well into the night. As a result, the Titans were able to enjoy the down time by engaging in their usual habits. Beast Boy and Cyborg were playing video games. Raven was in her room, perhaps reading or meditating but none of the others were going to try to find out for sure. Robin was, of course, working out in the gym. Starfire, meanwhile, had left earlier saying that she was going to the mall of shopping.

Raven was currently spending time in her room reading. She was very much enjoying the peace and quiet. Thankfully, none of her teammates had pestered her into trying to play video games or go to the mall or engage in any of the other, in her opinion, frivolous activities with which they occupied their time. Therefore, it was only natural to wonder why she was hearing a tapping sound coming from, of all places, the direction of her window. If this was one of Beast Boy's mindless pranks, he was going to pay….

Looking at the window, Raven discovered an owl tapping at the glass.

"Okay, it's not green, so not Beast Boy. Stupid bird is pecking at its own reflection."

Knowing the bird's tapping would set off a silent alarm to the other Titans; Raven used her communicator to tell them it was a false alarm. Using her powers, Raven encased the window in front of the bird in dark energy to hide the bird's reflection and figured that the bird would lose interest and fly away. Instead, the bird flew through the energy field and into her room before landing on her desk and holding out its foot. Raven noticed a string tied to the foot and a piece of parchment on the other end of the string. She approached the bird and untied the string before unrolling the paper. Raven began to read the words that were written on the paper.

Dear Teen Titans,

My name is Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. I am the Headmaster of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This school, the magical world and even the muggle (non-magical) world face a dire threat from an evil wizard named Voldemort and his followers. I believe that your help could be invaluable, most specifically the one called Raven but all of you would be welcome, of course. If you wish to discuss the matter further, you need merely write a reply addressed to me and attach it to the owl who delivered this letter.

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore

Headmaster

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Raven's P.O.V.

After re-reading the letter and seeing the owl was still on my desk, I decided to seek out Robin and show the letter to him. Knowing him, he would most likely be in the common room, evidence room or gym. As the gym was on the way to the common room, I would check their first. My search started and ended at the gym. Since I wasn't in any particular hurry, I waited until he noticed I had entered.

"Hey Raven. What's up?"

"Robin. Here." I said while holding out the letter.

He took the letter and read through it before looking back at me. "You think this is real?"

"The owl is still in my room" I replied.

"I take it you think we should respond and learn more."

"Don't you?" I asked even though I was all but certain of his answer.

"Yeah, it seems like we should but I can't commit the team without knowing more."

"Agreed. I could set up a meeting and go by myself to determine how serious this threat they have there." I knew Robin wouldn't like the idea but we both understood Jump City was our first priority.

"I don't like that idea" he started before I interrupted. How predictable.

"I figured you wouldn't but Jump City comes first unless we know for certain that the threat is severe enough to be a danger to the entire planet" I replied.

"Keep me updated, Raven."

"Sure" I said as I made my way out of the gym and back toward my room. The walk back gave me time to consider what to write in the letter back to this Headmaster Dumbledore.
