Summary: After a horrible run-in with Slade, Raven is left speechless. Literally. How is a trip to magical England going to help the silent Titan?

Authors Note: Ok, I'm jumping on the bandwagon, as it is. This here is my Harry Potter/Teen Titans crossover. It intrigues me, but I've read very few that seem believable. So I'm hoping this goes well. Constructive crits welcome! Flames will be given to Trigon.

Silence is Golden

Chapter 1

The group of teen superheroes stood, staring at the large warehouse. Like all warehouses, this one was full of boxes, and somehow swallowed all light, leaving a murky black interior.

"Maaaaan I hate this place. Are you sure he's in there?" Beast Boy gave the warehouse a wary look, as if expecting it to move.

"Unfortunately. We've tracked Slade into this warehouse. Stick close and let's take him down." Robin's voice was strong as he led the way to the large sliding doors.

Cyborg reached out and pulled one of the doors open. The loud grating sound rang in their ears, but there was no point in trying. It was impossible to enter a warehouse quietly.

As they filed into the darkness, Cyborg opened his shoulder light while Starfire held a starbolt. The group spread out into a loose circle as Beast Boy transformed into various animals, sorting lights, smells and sounds. Moving deeper into the stifling darkness, the group turned sharply at every sound of movement.

Suddenly, a swoosh of air passed the group, and the sound of scuffle as well as a muffled female squeal.

"Raven!" Robin turned quickly at the sound. It was definitely Raven, his quick mind had processed that. The light provided by Starfire and Cyborg hadn't faltered, and he could hear Beast Boy's animal form breathing. The remaining Titans turned, looking for any sign of their missing teammate or her captor.

Suddenly, a bright spotlight glared on, momentarily blinding the teens. Slade stood in the middle of the light, but it was not his sudden appearance that had the teens yelling. Raven stood in front of him, tight against his body. One gloved hand covered her mouth; the other held a sharp knife to her throat. Wide violet eyes stared straight into Robin's.

"Don't move, Titans." Slade's lazy voice rang across the warehouse, causing the Titans to tense. "Drop your weapons. Drop them now!" He jerked Raven's head when they didn't comply fast enough. The knife against her throat drew a deep red line.

Robin instantly dropped his birdarang to the ground with a clang, arm still raised to throw it. Cyborg powered down his sonic cannon, while Starfire defused her starbolt and Beast Boy turned back into a human.

"Let her go Slade." Robin could feel the fear rolling off Raven. She had no control of the situation and Robin wanted her out of the way quickly.

Slade narrowed his eye at Robin's demand, pushing Raven's head back against his shoulder. She squealed against his hand as the knife pushed into her neck. Slade ignored her, glaring at Robin. "I am willing to be reasonable, Robin. You for her."

"Never!"

"Come now, Robin. I know how much you care for her. After this, she won't be able to protect you from me. Once I dispose of her, what's to stop me from coming after you again? You're willing to throw away the lives of your teammates? I might even let them all live if you come now. Last chance Robin."

"You'll never win, Slade!" Cyborg's voice interrupted. He'd seen the slight shift in Robin's stance; he was actually considering it!

"Then I don't need her anymore, do I." Slade suddenly pulled his arm back, slicing the knife across the base of Raven's neck. She fell to the floor with a strangled scream as Slade went reeling back, a birdarang sticking out of his mask. No one had seen Robin throw the birdarang, but now as he ran towards Raven's fallen figure, they sprang into motion.

"Raven? Raven!!" Robin dropped by her side, kneeling in blood. He grabbed her cape and ripped a long strip from it., quickly wrapping it around her neck to try to stop the blood flow. Scooping her up in his arms, Robin turned to his team and starting barking orders. "Cy, T-car! BB, sit on Slade 'til the authorities get here! Star, stay with him!"

Turning, Robin followed Cyborg to the T-car, as Beast Boy turned into an elephant and literally sat on Slade's legs. Starfire stood next to him, but she was sobbing, her hands covering her eyes and hiding the bleeding form of her best friend from sight.

Robin slipped into the back of the T-car, as Cyborg got into the driver's seat and took off. Jumping on the police band, he informed them he was bringing in an injured Titan and to have a team ready, and requested a wagon to pick up Slade at the warehouse. Robin cradled Raven's head in the crook of his arm, lightly slapping her cheek.

"Raven, wake up, stay with me." She opened her mouth to reply, but Robin covered it with a gentle finger. "Don't speak, Raven, just look at me. Come on, open your eyes!" Raven's eyes slowly opened, but Robin almost wished they hadn't. The foggy look in her violet orbs told him of her pain, and her wish for release.

Robin cupped her cheek, keeping her eyes locked with his. "Stay with me, Raven. We're taking you to the hospital now. Don't worry about anything, just stay with me. Just keep looking at me, Raven, hang on."

Raven's eyes began to slip closed, she was too weak to keep them open anymore. Robin's voice began raising, causing Cyborg to drive even faster through the city. "Raven, open your eyes! That's an order Raven! Raven!!"

Robin clutched Raven to his chest as Cyborg squealed the car around a corner and right up to the Emergency Room doors. A team was waiting for them, and before he really regisgtered it, Raven was removed from his arms and being wheeled away, Cyborg rushing after to provide information on her unique vitals. Sitting for a moment, Robin realized the car was still running. Moving into the front seat, Robin calmly moved the car into a parking space and secured it, before returning to the hospital.

Waiting for him inside the doors was a tall man in a white coat. Robin looked up at him, slightly confused, as the man smiled politely at him. "Robin, I am Doctor Jacobs, I run this hospital. Your teammate is in surgery now and we will do all we can to help her."

"Thank you Doctor. If I may ask, could you please put her in a private room, away from the general population? Also, could I ask you to not say anything to the press?"

"Of course. I anticipated as much. We will not let anything slip to the press, our entire staff has already been issued a gag order. Anyone found leaking information will be fired. We will set you up in our private wing. Only essential staff will bother you there. Now, as I cannot let you walk around a hospital covered in blood, I'm going to have to ask you to follow this young lady here."

Looking down, Robin finally noticed how much blood he was covered in. Raven's blood. Nodding his thanks to the doctor, he followed the young nurse down the hall. She explained, "I am taking you down to our lockers. There, you may shower and change. I can only offer you a set of hospital scubs."

"That is fine, really. Thanks." Taking the offered clothing and bag for his bloody uniform, Robin stepped into the men's locker room. He didn't come out of his automatic trance until halfway through his shower, where tears joined the water running down his face.
