I own only my Oc.

Rudolphus looked at is daughter for a moment and recognition dawned in his eyes.

"Ravyn? Is it really you?"

Ravyn nodded quietly and looked at her father. Rudolphus grinned.

"My baby girl…" He whispered lovingly, reaching through the bars to hug her.

"I was so worried. How's life? Did you end up in a loving family?"

Ravyn shook her head sadly.

"Life is doing a bit better now, but I didn't end up in a family that was all that loving. I ran away when I was 6 and was staying in a room in the Leaky Cauldron until I got my Hogwarts letter."

Rudolphus' smile dimmed and he hugged her tighter.

"I'm so sorry sweetheart. Hey, do you have a quill? I may be able to do something from here to help you out."

Ravyn nodded and handed her father a piece of parchment and a quill. Surprised at what he scribbled down on the paper.

I, Lord Rudolphus Alexandrian Lestrange, Lord of the Ancient and Noble House of Lestrange, announce my daughter heiress to the house, emancipate daughter Ravyn Cassiopeia Black-Lestrange completely, and give her full access to the Lestrange family vaults.

-Signed, Lord Lestrange

Ravyn looked at the letter, then looked at her father.

"Are you sure about this Dad?"

Rudolphus nodded and handed her the parchment and quill.

"I'm sure dear. Just get your mother and Uncle to sign it."

Harry watched the exchange of words quietly as Ravyn gave her father one last hug and stepped over to the cell beside him. Inside of which sat Rabastan Lestrange.

"Hi Uncle Rabastan."

Ravyn said, a bit more cheerful after the conversation with her father. Rabastan smiled at her a bit, immediately acknowledging who she was.

"Hello Ravyn. How nice of you to see your favorite Uncle."

Ravyn laughed a bit and the two talked for a while until Rabastan noticed the piece of parchment in his niece's hand.

"Would you like me to sign that for you?"

Ravyn nodded quietly and handed over the parchment and quill. Quickly, Rabastan signed the parchment and handed it, and the quill, back to Ravyn.

"Now, go talk to your mother. She cries about you in her sleep you know. Always worried about her baby girl. You were her pride and joy. Still are. She really missed you."

Ravyn glanced over at Bellatrix's cell and nodded quietly.

"Alright Uncle. I'll go."

Rabastan smiled and gave her a pat on the back before letting her go to walk over to Bellatrix's cell. The woman inside was sitting quietly, her head in her hands.

"Mom?"

Ravyn called out, trying to get the woman's attention. And it worked, seeing that Bellatrix took one look at Ravyn and nearly burst into tears.

"Ravyn? Is it really you?"

Ravyn nodded, and felt herself start to cry a little as her mother hugged her through the bars.

"I was so worried about you. Tell me, what house did you end up in at Hogwarts?"

Ravyn gulped.

"Uh…Mom….I'm a Gryffindor."

Bellatrix smiled softly.

"Good. I hope that means your fate will be a bit brighter then mine."

She whispered lovingly, stroking Ravyn's hair gently and kissing her forehead. Neville openly gaped at how loving Bellatrix was toward her daughter, and Harry was in a similar position. Bellatrix however, ignored them both and whispered something into Ravyn's ear.

"There is a spell in the Lestrange family library to help Neville's parents. Use it the first chance you get. It'll return his parents back to sanity."

Ravyn nodded and Bellatrix signed the parchment before giving Ravyn one last hug and waving goodbye as the trio of students walked away before portkeying back to Hogwarts.

Neville looked at Ravyn for a minute.

"You're not as bad as everyone thinks you are. You're actually really nice."

Ravyn smiled slightly as the trio walked down the halls.

"Thanks. Glad you think so. So does this mean I'm not gonna get chased out the common room again? Seriously, the Hufflepuff have offered to hide me if that happens."

Neville and Harry nodded as they crawled back into the common room. Almost instantly, wands were pointed at Ravyn, and a cutting curse missed her right eye by about 6 inches.

"Uh-oh."

Ravyn murmured before diving out of the tunnel, yet again, and running for her life. Sprinting directly to the Hufflepuff common room and saying the password and diving through the portrait, landing at her cousin's feet.

"What happened to you?"

Tonks asked. Ravyn panted as she tried to catch her breath.

"Give me…a second…"

She gasped before crawling back out of the portrait and pulling out her wand. To the surprise of the Gryffindor students present, she prepared to duel them.

After a bright flash of lights and a display of Ravyn's natural dueling ability, Professor McGonagall stepped forward.

"Who started this?"

She asked, her tone calm.

"They tried to kill me again. I think I'm just gonna start staying with one of my cousins if this keeps up."

McGonagall sighed. She understood the girl's feelings.

"I understand Ms. Lestrange. You have my full permission to sleep with one of your cousin's houses at night. Seeing that as of right now, it's for your own safety."

Ravyn nodded.

"Thank you Professor. I think for right now I'm gonna go stay with the Slytherins. Their the only ones who didn't try to murder me the first time. And the only ones that have all promised to protect me."

McGonagall nodded and Ravyn ran down to the dungeons and found the Slytherin common room.

"Prospero," She whispered, climbing into the portrait and sliding into the lavishly decorated common room. Draco was the first to notice her.

"Hey cousin. What happened? The Gryffindors attack you again?"

Ravyn nodded.

"Yeah, Professor McGonagall said I could stay here for now because it's 'for my own health'."

Draco laughed.

"Well cheer up. Christmas break is in 5 weeks and we'll be at my house."

Ravyn glared at him playfully and the two cousins relaxed into an easy pattern until 5 weeks later. Ravyn was talking to her friend Daphne while she packed.

"So…how are you going to get to Draco's house?"

Daphne asked. Ravyn smiled a bit and closed her trunk.

"I think we're just gonna take a portkey after we talk to my Aunt Andromeda."

Daphne shrugged and gave her friend a tight hug as they walked down the stairs, meeting up with Draco and Tonks as they walked.

"Everything ready?"

Draco nodded.

"Yeah, the house elves take our stuff to the train, so we should be able to just relax and forget about it until my Mom picks us up."

Ravyn nodded and the trio made their way to the train. Sitting in a compartment near the back.

"So, what are you guys going to do first?"

Ravyn smiled.

"Relax. I've already done all my homework, so I'm fine."

Tonks whined.

"I should've done that. I've got a potions essay I need to finish."

Draco nodded.

"Yeah. I've got a charms essay. Maybe we can all help each other?"

Ravyn shrugged.

"I'm gonna be doing another potion. Maybe Uncle Sirius will be able to help me with it when he gets out of Azkaban."

Draco and Tonks shrugged, they knew what potion she was talking about.

"Maybe, but we still need a fourth Marauder."

Tonks smiled.

"Why don't we ask Harry? He is technically a Black through his grandmother, and he's Sirius' godson."

Ravyn nodded.

"Yeah, that'd even out everything too. Two purebloods, two half-bloods I think it'll be cool."

The Black Triad relaxed for the rest of the trip, and had nearly fallen asleep when the train came to a stop. Ravyn snapped awake instantly.

"Get up you two. We gotta go."

Tonks grumbled sleepily and Draco whined as the trio made their way to where Narcissa and Andromeda were waiting for them.

"Hello children," Andromeda called. Draco and Ravyn smiled politely.

"Hello Aunt Andromeda."

The pair responded. Tonks smiled and hugged her mother, and the group got along quite well before Narcissa spoke.

"Well children, we must get home so you can settle in with all your things."

Draco nodded and picked up the end of his trunk, Ravyn and Tonks doing the same , grabbing onto a piece of silk that Narcissa had produced from inside her robes.

After the uncomfortable trip to the manor via portkey, Narcissa ushered the children into the massive house, house elves taking their stuff to their rooms. After a moment, Narcissa smiled at the young witches and wizard before looking at Ravyn.

"I figured we'd get you an early Christmas present. Follow me."

She said softly, guiding Ravyn into a back room. The response from Ravyn was priceless when she saw who was inside.

Before Narcissa could even say anything, Ravyn was hugging her mother tightly and smiling. Bellatrix stroked her daughter's back lovingly.

"Merry Christmas dear."

She whispered. Ravyn smiled softly into her mother.

"Merry Christmas Mom."

Ravyn replied. Just then, another voice snapped her out of her trance

"No love for your father?"

Rudolphus asked. Ravyn smiled and let go of Bellatrix to hug her father. Rudolphus smiled as she buried her face into his chest.

"Hi Dad."

She whispered. Rudolphus smiled at her.

"Hey Ravyn. You may want to turn around."

Ravyn lifted an eyebrow curiously and turned around to see Sirius Black smiling at her.

"Hello there niece. I hear it's you who got me out of that place?"

Ravyn nodded and hugged her Uncle. Sirius smiled.

"Maybe I ask how you knew?"

Ravyn smiled and pulled out the Marauders Map.

"I stole this off Fred and George Weasley, figured out how old their younger brother's rat was, noticed it was missing a toe, and connected the dots."

Sirius smiled.

"Nice work then kiddo. I suppose now I owe you a gift."

Ravyn tilted her head a bit and Sirius summoned an old journal.

"This is the secret to the animagus potion. I trust you'll use it well?"

Ravyn smiled a bit.

"Can't promise that. I've used this map repeatedly. I'd be betraying the words, 'I solemnly swear I am up to no good."

Sirius smiled brightly and hugged her.

"Good pup. I can already tell you're gonna cause problems."

Ravyn smiled and walked back over to her mother, sitting on a love seat.

"So how exactly did you get out Mom?"

A/N

I know this is shorter then the first one but I ran into a bit of an impasse. What do you want their animagus forms to be? The choices for Draco are

A cobra

A ferret

The choices for Tonks are…

A badger

A hawk
