Chapter 2
Raven was startle out of her thoughts again, when the food disappear from the table, and my attention was drag to Professor Dumbledore, who has stood up in the teacher table.
"Ahem!" All the students stop their conversation and turn their attention to the Headmaster. "Now that we have been fed and have out stomach full, I have a Start-of-term notice to inform you all. The first year and new student must know that The Forbidden Forest is out of limits to all the student body, and some of the oldest student should do well to remember that" Dumbledore said, eye all the student, but pause a little too long in the Gryffidor table. "I also must remember you, by petition of Mr. Filch, the caretaker, that no magic should be used in the corridors between classes. Quidditch trials will begin the two weeks after the term, everyone interest in join their house team, should contact Madam Hooch." The man point to a Professor with grey-white hair and yellow eyes sitting in the principal table. "Now before we go to bed, let's sing the school song!" He's enthusiasm was obvious, while he beam to the students.
The entire school got up from their seats and start singing the school song, Raven just keep her mouth shut, and just observe her cousin across the room, who in that moment was watching her, and both smile with mirth, both their eyes were sparkling with amusement at the odd behavior of the school body, teachers and students.
Once the uncoordinated singers stop the song, Dumbledore smile to everyone.
"Now off to bed!" exclaim good nature the Headmaster. "First years follow the Perfects!" he inform before anyone could make a move from the tables.
Everyone in the Great Hall, start to left to their common room, leaded by their Perfects, and Raven has lost sight of the dark haired boy that has been sitting beside her in the dinner. She begin a short height did help, and she was having troubles following right person to the right place.
"Raven!"
The named girl turn around and to her delight and relief, she saw no other than to Narcissa Black making her way to her, until both Slytherin girls were side by side.
"Congratulations! Now you are one of us!" Cissa smile kindly to the new girl, before motioned for her to follow her. "Come, I led you to the common room, is in the Dungeons, this way!" and with that comment both make their way until their reach the first years and the Slytherin perfect.
"Hey, Cissa!" called a young voice.
"Regulus! Welcome to Slytherin!" the girl grin at him, before motioned to her to companions to pay attention to the perfect.
Raven was puzzle and a bit confuse, 'cause they were standing in front of a stone wall in the dungeons.
"Behind this wall lies the hidden door to the entrance of Slytherin common room. The password change every now and then, so you must be well aware of it. If you forget were the entrance is or the password... well let's say that you better bloody well don't forget it, 'cause you'll have to wait until someone comes to let you in! the password for now is Serpentsortia!" said the perfect. And with that the stone wall pull apart to let them pass.
Raven eye were wide open, like most of the first years. The common room was underground, with rough stone walls, in the ceiling the lamps were old silver, and in general the room colors of the furniture were mostly black, green and silver. With huge windows from the floor to the ceiling that face the Black Lake, making it seem mysterious and elegant at the same time. A fire was cracking in the marvelous crave fireplace, making the common room not so cold. Some of the others students were already in the common room, seated in the chairs and couches in there.
The perfect guide us to a part were two set of stone stairs were, one lead to the left and one to the right.
"The girl dormitory is up to the right stairs, the boys to the left. Students of others sex aren't allowed in to the others dormitory, so don't try anything funny" inform the guy, watching them with a bored expression on his not too attractive face. "You'll see that all your belonging are already in your respective rooms." With that he left to join the others in the fireplace.
"Come over here!" instruct Cissa, leading Raven to the stairs, and up to the second stop, were a door was open and could be seen five dark wood four poster bed, with green emerald curtains, and grey and white covers. "This is the dormitory of the second year, there is your trunk and your stuff!" she said, pointing at one of the beds that was beside the great window.
Raven walk to the bed, and at the footboard was her trunk, with her cat's cage. His huge yellow eyes observe her and he meowed loudly in protest.
"I'm sorry Salem, I'll let you out in a minute" said Raven, letting out the big furball, who immediately went and lay down beside the pillow, his tail moving slightly.
"What a pretty cat, no much people have cat's in Hogwarts" commented Cissa, who's bed was right next to her new friend. "Mostly we have owls for familiars"
"Well, Salem is something special, sometimes I swear he even understand what people talk about, he's pretty intelligent" she said, closing the curtains and changing her cloths for a purple long knee nightgown, then open the curtains again and start to brush her hair and made it in a braid. "Good night, Narcissa."
"Cissa, call me Cissa. Just my mother and family call me Narcissa. And good night to you too."

Pam was sitting in the bed in her new dormitory in Gryffindor tower, observing her new friend Lily Evans unpack her things, the others doing the same, but she wasn't in the mood to do so. So she just was sitting with a broad smile in her pretty face watching her roommates. Lily was a beauty redhead with pale skin and green eyes, who apparent to be cheerful and friendly, and Pam almost immediately since sitting in the Gryffindor table has like her.
"So, tell us Pam, how America is like?" Ask one of the girl, she has brown gold hair and dark blue eyes, her name was Maya Sunfly.
"Well... like any other country I guess" she comment, laying face down in the bed with her arms hugging the pillow to her chest and resting her face in it. "Me and my family lives in New Jersey, a rural place with no much civilization around, you know, trees, earth, a little town nearby, no much to choose where to go" She said, nonchalantly. "My cousin and I then assist to Salem School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and that place is pretty much the same, but with more civilization near."
All the girls were listening with rap attention to her tale.
"And what do you think about boys?" ask another of the girls with a mischievous smile, a blond with brown eyes, Annabeth Smith. "Someone left behind in your country, maybe?"
Pam stare at her with a blank expression, then shake her head no.
"I'm more interest in cloth and make up, and of course in learn magic, not in boys" she said, kicking her feet in the air.
"Pam, what do you think of Sirius Black? Isn't he dreamy and gorgeous?" sigh the last of the girls, a brunet with brown eyes.
To this Pam couldn't hold back a snort, rolling her eyes, somewhat annoyed at the mention of that git. When she has been sorted in to Gryffindor, and has go to the table, she have had the mad luck to sit beside the guy, a third year, black hair, pale skin and grey eyes, with a smile to large and arrogance covering from head to toed. He has spend the entire meal hearing his comment and him flirt blatantly with her, and every other girl near him. If it's wasn't for Lily sitting beside her, Pam probably has been expulsed for murder his companion.
"No. He is kinda annoying and arrogant for what I gather from him in the dinner at the Great Hall tonight" comment sitting in her bed, and closing the curtains and change her school uniform for her orange and red pajamas, and then open the curtains again to see all the girls looking at her like she has grown another head, less Lily who has a amuse smile in her lips. "What? Did I say something wrong?" she ask confuse.
"How could you say something like that?! He's perfect!" exclaim the three girls giggling like mad. Lily and Pam just look at them and roll their eyes.
"I agree with Pam, Sirius is too arrogant for his own good!" commented Lily sitting in her bed.
"HA! You just say that because he, James and his gang always mess around with your strange and greasy git, snivellus! I still wonder how could you be friends with that hooked nose Slytherin guy?" said Annabeth disdainfully, grimacing at the thought of the lanky greasy guy.
"We agree" the other two said in unison, like many times before.
"Severus is a good guy, and very intelligent, and he is not a git, and I would appreciate if you girl don't call him for that hideous name that the stupid James Potter and his friends give him in front of me!" Lily was obviously not happy with them, and Pam was curious about Lily's friend and why the reaction of them.
"Oh, come on Lily! Is just funny call him that!"
But Lily still didn't back down. Pam, to break the tension in the room, ask a question that have been in her head since arriving at the common room.
"Hey girls, why am I staying in the third years dormitory, since I am second year?" enquire Pam, watching with satisfaction that the tension disappear immediately.
"Well, apparently there was a problem with that room, and half the place is a disaster, so you have been assigned to us for the rest of the school year!" comment Lily smiling brightly.
"Awesome!" exclaim Pam, grinning brightly. "Well we better go to sleep or we would not be waking in the morning! Night girls!" and with that she closed her eyes and was lost in Morfeo's world.

Severus Snape, third year Slytherin, was up and out the common room, at a very early hour in the morning and the sun has barely start to rise in the sky. Classes were supposed to start at 8 a.m. in the morning, the students usually go to breakfast at 7 a.m. but the food was always a bit early than the body school prepared by the house elves. He always got up early no matter at what hour he has gone to sleep the previous night. And like always he have a book of potions in his hands that he has been studying since last night, eager to learn more about anything concerning magic, even when he knew more curses than most 7th years students. Without realizing it he soon found himself in the Great Hall, very few students and Professors were in the room, two Ravenclaw girls, Three Gryffindor boys, and four Slytherins. In the Teacher table was Albus Dumbledore, the Headmaster, Minerva Mcgonagal, the head of house of Gryffindor, professor Filius Flitwich, the hrad of house of Ravenclaw, and Professor Horace Slughorn, the head of house of Slytherin, and they were chatting with each other.
Severus walk to the Slytherin table, and sit by himself, his mind in the potion that he has already memorize from the book and the new potions that he was learning now. He was musing about a few possibilities in some of the potions to make when there was a movement in his peripheral vision, and then someone sit by his side.
Thinking briefly of last night, and the strange little girl who has sit with him, Severus lift his glace from the book to the person sitting with him, but it wasn't the curious girl of last night, no who was sitting there was his best friend, Lucius Malfoy, third year Slytherin and one of the few person with who he hang around.
Lucius has fair skin, long shoulder length blond almost white hair, and light grey eyes. He was, cording to the female population one of the most good looking boys of the school. Severus himself was unattractive to the girls, who considering him too lanky and greasy, with a big hook nose, but that was fine by him. The only person of the other sex he was interest in romantically or otherwise, was his best friend girl, Lily Evans.
"Morning" said Lucius, putting some egg and toast bread in his plate, with some strawberry jelly.
"Morning" comment Severus, distracted again by his book.
"Here, eat something" and without waiting for a response, Lucius put the same in his friend plate snatching the book out of his hands.
"Lucius!" Severus protest, with a feral scowl in his pale face, his black eyes boring a hole in his friends. "Give that back, now!"
"No, you eat first, then you can study whatever you want" respond the blond, whose face was impassive.
"Whatever... " Severus mutter under his breath, taking a handful of egg and shove it into his mouth, still irritated with his friend, but recognizing that he have to eat anyway, no point to study with his belly empty. "Where were you last night, by the way? I didn't see you at dinner last night" mutter more to himself than to his friend, but he hear him anyway.
"My father was having other of that reunions with those people, and he order me to stay until he was done. He didn't want me to take the train today, no idea why" said Lucius, with a scowl of his own in the face, his mode nothing near good in that moment.
Severus just nod, neither of them have a easy life, and their infancies hasn't been a rose road to them, for different reasons and acts. Specially in the family business.
Lucius mother has die when he was four years old, and his father was a rich bastard who handle his son like a dog in private, punishing him severely hard when he do something that he considerate a Malfoy shouldn't do, or when he didn't do correctly something that his old man want him to.
Of course in public, Abraxas Malfoy was a respected man of business and a gentleman, a cover that he has build to the outside world carefully. But in reality he was a cruel cold man, with ambitions far beyond of what a Pureblood aristocrat would want. Obsessed with blood purity. It was said that he has been with the short live Dark Lord, Voldemort a few years ago, before Albus Dumbledore has kill the bastard. But just Lucius and Severus know the true, and that was that Abraxas Malfoy was one of the first generals of the mad dark wizard, and his tattoo in his left arms was proof of it.
Lucius was a Pureblood, and has been taught since infancy the importance of the Pureblood status and what he must think and act of almost everything, specially Muggles and Muggle-borns. And while in the outside the blond appear to be as cold and emotionless as his father, the reality was that the boy could think for himself, even when in the beginning he has thought like his father, his opinion change when he start school. But for fear of what his father would do to him if he do or say something good to or for Muggles or Muggle-borns, Lucius has remain quiet and impassive. Until he reach adulthood, at seventeen, he must stay out of his father bad side for good, if he wanted to live.
Severus on the other hand, was a Half-blood, son of Eileen Prince, from an old Pureblood aristocrat family of the wizarding world and a simple Muggle, Tobias Snape. His non-magic father, hate all that have to do with magic, and he tend to be aggressive against Severus himself or his mother, the latter was the usual victim of his abuse. The Prince family, they were wealthy and has good properties and extensive lands almost has rich as the Malfoys, they turn their back to the only child and heiress, Eileen for marring a filthy Muggle, and so the Snape live very poorly and in a living hell.
Elinor Prince, Severus granmother has wanted to rebuild the bond between her daughter and the family when she knew of her grandson, but his husband, Robald Prince has forbid it and order her to stay away from them, claiming that Eileen has stained the line of Pureblood marring Tobias Snape. So neither knew of the abuse and hard life that their only daughter and grandson were living.
Severus when was home, always avoid talking about magic, and his mother avoid talk about and used it while around her husband, for fear that he would strike her or her son, in one of his jealousy and mad fury. But that wasn't always the trigger, 'cause if that wasn't enough, Severus father was an alcoholic, and when he was drunk or sober he always ends hitting her wife and son.
For that, Severus has developed a hatred towards Muggles and Muggle-borns, for the unique exception to the rule, Lily Evans. And since a little child, he thought of learn every type of magic to defend himself and his mother when the time come, he could save his mother from the monster of what was his father. And his ability to perform magic was excellent, and he stand out in two of his classes more than the other, Potions and Defense Against The Dark Arts, better known as DADA.
And given the background of these two Slytherins, it was no surprise that they have become good friends. even Lily didn't known of the details of Severus home. For that the two boys has form a strong friendship, and they help each other always.
Even when the problem with the four stupid and annoyingly bastards Gryffindors come around the corner to bully Severus for the solely reason they think they could, Lucius stood beside him. Usually that time, James and his monkey band don't do nothing more than to insult him and call him named, now if Severus was on his own, that was another story completely different.
The only other that stood by him was Lily and that was another of the reasons why Severus like Lily Evens. Nobody apart for the two of them ever has give a shit about him begin bully for the famous Marauders.
"So how was yesterday night? Something interesing?" Ask Lucius, finishing his pumpkin juicy, his food long time gone now. He turn to see his dark friend, and he raise his eyebrow a bit.
Severus grunt something under his breath that Lucius didn't catch right away.
"Sorry, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly" the blond taunt him, with a vague smile in his handsome face.
"Some strange girl for first year sit beside me at the dinner table" Severus said in between gritted teeth, no comfortable with the conversation at all.
"Oh?" now Lucious tone was, curious, and mischievous and a grin was pasted in his mouth. "How come? I believe that all girls were terrified of you, spatially the newbies of first yea" he commented trying to hide his laughter but failing miserably.
Severus scowl was now more evident and hard, but both knew that the Malfoy didn't meant it to offend of hurt the other boy, he always teased him good nature.
"I don't know, she just finish getting sorted and then went and sit beside me, the spot where you were suppose to sit yesterday. I swear that there were more seating at the table, the first years sorted in to Slytherin were few at the time" mused out laud a bit distracted. "And I don't terrified the girls, they found me repulsive and unattractive, you asshole" that last part, the black hair boy roll his eyes. "Not that I blame them, anyway I'm not interest in any birdbrain girl, anyhow."
"Hmmm... Who's this mysterious girl that you haven't figured out, and that is obviously causing you bright mind to go unfocused? You know her name?" inquired the blond, more curious now. His dark hair friend wasn't usually thinking about females other than the Evans girl, he usually was focused in his study and experiments with potions and his two best friends. And to cause him, of all guys, to pay attention to someone else, specially a girl, to be worthy of his thought, was no something of everyday.
"Her name is Raven Belflour, and she is first year 'cause she have to be sorted, unless of course she has been a transfer student from other country." Severus paused a second, thinking deep about the encounter the two have last night, her naive and innocent glace, and that blush in her cheeks that he couldn't figure out where has come from. She hadn't look at him like he was some disgusting and she couldn't been far away from him, or like the other male and female always look at him, minus Malfoy and Evans. He furrow his brow more deeply, now a bit more confuse by that information, before go on with his explanation. "She's short, skinny, pass shoulder length dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, and her skin is fair, but has faint gold tone like she has live all her life in a tropical country. She's no beauty."
Lucius has a pensive expression in his face, his grey eyes never leaving his friends face, more and more intrigued by this unknown girl and her effect in Severus's persona.
"Did she talk to you?" he inquire for more information.
"No." again Severus scowl at him, and roll his eyes. "She didn't say a word."
"So why, pray tell, are you so curious about her?" Now the blond was sure that something interesting has happen last night between his best friend and that girl, and he has miss it!
"Because of her behavior, dumbass, haven't you listening half of what I say?" the irritation in his voice was back.
"You haven't give me some plausible reason as to why is this girl so special, genius!" retort the blond, now he was the one rolling his eyes.
"She isn't. That's the problem, Malfoy, she's no special!" the boy with black eyes glare at his friend starting to become angry for apparently no reason, and that only made his temper boil. "She's not! Then why didn't she acts like the other population of girls in this school has?! Why did she not grimace when she saw my face?! Or scowl and leave with disgust printed in her face, that I'm used to see?!" Severus growl, a furious scowl in his pale face, his eyes ablaze with confusion and curiosity equally.
Lucius raised his eyebrows, almost reaching his hairline. He never has seen his friend that passionate about anything other than magic and maybe Lily Evans, or perhaps when he was furious with the Gryffindor bastards. This was indeed, something worth to look into. He knew the reaction of the female population to his dearest friend, and that make him sad, because he knew that Severus was a great and brilliant guy, with honor and a gentleman, considering the background of them, that was saying something. And anything that he consider important or worth trying always got is entire attention, and he was a loyal friend, something you couldn't say about every Slytherin.
Lucious was sure that any girl that enter in a relationship with his friend Severus, would be incredibly valued and cherish above all, and if he could say it, loved till the end, sincerely and faithfully. But the girls in Hogwarts were too stupid to see beyond the physic, and his reserved personality; Severus was too brilliant and dark for them, even the Slytherin girls. Lily Evans, was the only girl who has been able to see beyond, but Lucius has a suspicious that the Gryffindor girl just view Severus like a friend, or perhaps like a brother and nothing more, but he keep that thought to himself, the blond didn't want his friend to get hurt. And there was a possibility that he would be wrong, and she actually like him like someone of the other sex, but he highly doubt it.
And that was a shame. And a real waste.
"I suppose then, we have to find out what we could of this Raven Belflour" propose Lucius, with a poker face watching his friend by the rim of his eye.
"I don't want nor I need to find out anything about her" Severus scowl, growing with annoyance.
"Oh, you do, my dear potion master, you certainly do... and want" the blond was sure they will do as he said. When he saw the black eyes boy glare at him and open his mouth to speak, he cut in. "And yes, we will, otherwise you will not be able to think straight."
"No, I won't."
"Please, I know you Severus, If you don't solve this puzzle, you won't be able to concentrate properly in other things, because this is going to come back to your thought again and again, until you finally make a mistake in whatever you'll do 'cause you couldn't think in anything else." the blond said eyeing his friend. "You need to solve this, is in your nature."
Severus snort, but didn't say anything else. He knew Lucius was right. When he became across a riddle or some sort equal, Severus had the urge to solve it or go insane trying it, that's why potions was one of his favorite subject, his mind always was working in different ways to do the recipe and what interesting thing could come out of it. or the form to perfecting it, to making better. Or to created something new entirely. Either potions or his own spells.
But Severus came back from his thought rater fast when his eyes catch the person entering the Great Hall for breakfast.
So there is the second chapter! I hope that you have like it! and I'll wait for your fantastic Reviews in the form of your oponion! :D
