Here's chapter 4! I intended to post this earlier this week but I've been working on a project all my own and have been trying to get a bit farther in that so sorry for the delay. By the way has anyone seen Magic Beyond Words: The J.K. Rowling Story it is a very good docudrama about Jo played by Poppy Montgomery if you can see or buy it on DVD or what ever, watch it cause it is a really great way to see how the Harry Potter books came to be.

No enough of my preaching so you can get to the chapter.


So far, so great, get with it

At least that's how I see it

Having a dream's just the beginning

So far, so great, believe it

Can't take away this feeling

Taking a ride with chance on my side

Yeah, I can't wait, so far, so great

- So Far So Great by Demi Lovato


*No POV September 1st*

A week and a half later it was time for the Snape Family to head to Hogwarts. Morticia was the first to wake up and as she starched she saw a large human girl sized lump in the bed. She rolled her electric green eyes. "She looks forward to going to Hogwarts yet she doesn't wake up in time to get to the train." she complained as she jumped up into the bed. She began to hit Raven with her little tiny paw repeatedly in the face. "Raven," the girl didn't move. "Waky, waky, Ravioli." She sighed loudly knowing it wasn't going to work. Then she got an idea.

She stuck her claws out and stuck them in Raven foot. "AHHHHH!" She turned to the source of her problem, Ticia. "What the bloody heck is wrong with you?" She began to rub her right foot.

Ticia retracted her claws. "You wouldn't wake up when I kept hitting you so I had to come up with something else." she shrugged. Raven rolled her eyes and continued to rub her now sore foot.

"Why did you wake me up anyway?"

"Well lets see. A big red train. plus a school with 4 houses. plus the place where your dad works. equals what?" Morticia explained. Raven's now orange eyes widened and she smiled.

"I get to go to Hogwarts today!" She jumped out of bed and into her bathroom.

"That's right Einstein!" Ticia yelled at the door. Said door opened and a comb came flying out towards her. "Ahh!" She jumped away from it just in time. "Watch it sister it takes time to look this good in the morning!"

"I don't care, furball!" Raven yelled from inside.

*Raven's POV*

An hour later we were dressed and ready to head out, but Dad wanted to double check. Everything. "Toothbrush?" he asked. Ticia and I looked at each other.

"Yes." I droned pulling on my white sweater over my red tank top.

"Unmentionables?"

"Yes, man! I have my clothes, my hair products, my wand! Can we please go already if I miss that train I will blame you." I pointed a finger at his chest angrily. He lifted an eyebrow. I blushed and my eyes turned pink. "I love you, Daddy." He rolled his dark eyes.

"Yes, yes. I love you too. Come on lets go." I put my shrunken bags into my jeans pocket and put Ticia into her carrier.

"I hate this thing." she muttered, batting the fuzzy ball hanging from the top. I gave her a soft smile.

"You'll be out of there soon enough, Tish." I grabbed Dad's hand as he apperated us to Kings Cross Station. My eyes were multi colored as I stared at the bright red Hogwarts Express. Barely anyone was here so not many students had gotten on yet. "I can't believe I'm actually going to Hogwarts."

"Please don't start jumping up and down. You'll make me barf." Ticia whined. I glared at her and Dad chuckled. I turned from the train to face him.

"Now Raven behave while you're on the train." I scoffed.

"Dad why would you say that I-" He gave me a knowing look and I stopped. And I hung my head a little bit. "I'll behave."

"And please don't change another student's hair color. Again." I rolled my eyes.

"I did it once. Once. When I was 11 let it go already." He chucked again, and surprisingly pulled me into a hug. It was a bit odd, he usually wasn't one for public displays of affection. "I love you, Dad."

"I love you too, Raven. Very much." he whispered. He pulled back and held me at arms length. "Now be careful, and I'll see you at school." I smiled and picked up Morticia's carrier and began walking away.

"Bye dad! See you later." I said over my shoulder and I turned and waved at him. He waved back. I heard a crack and knew that Dad has apperated away.

"You two are so cute." Ticia commented.

"Shut up, furball. Snapes aren't cute." I smirked. We got onto the train and looked around for an empty compartment, or at least on that had only a few people in it.

"What are we waiting for Raven?" I rolled my eyes and looked down at the carrier.

"I'm trying to find a compartment so please just be-" I didn't finish as I suddenly hit something hard and went crashing to the floor.

"Ow!" I heard the other victim say. They sounded like a guy.

"Could you watch where you're going?" I asked trying to get up.

"Me? You're the one who was looking down." The boy held out his hand and I took it. "Are you okay?" I nodded and wiped imaginary dust off of me.

"Yeah I'm fine. Thanks." I looked up into familiar green eyes meeting my pink ones. "Harry?"

"Raven?" I smiled.

"The one and only." I said. He smiled back.

"What are you doing here? I thought you went to Bueaxbatons?" he asked. I shrugged and picked up Ticia's carrier, I was suddenly very happy that I had Dad put a cushioning charm on it for me.

"My dad decided to let me go to his old school, and he transferred me here. So here I am." I have to admit it was somewhat the truth.

"Well it's good to see you again. Is your cat okay?" he asked pointing at her. I looked down at Ticia.

"Are you okay, Tish?"

"I'm fine just continue flirting with lover boy." she responded and started licking her paw. I looked back at Harry.

"She's definitely okay." He smiled.

"Good. Do you have a compartment yet?" I shook my head.

"I was looking for one when I ran into you."

"Then come to my compartment I want you to meet my friends. I'm sure they'd like to meet you too." he said.

"Okay sure." And he lead me to a compartment that was nearer to the back. He opened the door and I was met with five pairs of eyes looking up at us. Me more specifically.

"Who's this Harry?" the red haired girl, who's name I remembered was Ginny.

"This is Raven. I met her at Quality Qudditch Supplies, a few weeks ago. She transferred here from Bueaxbatons, and she hasn't made any friends here yet. So I thought those friends could be us. She is going to be in our year after all." he said.

I waved sheepishly at them all. And luckily I got warm smiles back, well, all except for Ginny who was glaring daggers at me. We walked in and Harry sat down next to Ron, closes to the window. I had placed Morticia's carrier up on the rack when I noticed there were no more seats left.

"Uh Harry where am I supposed to sit?" I asked. He looked around and noticed my predicament. He patted his knee.

"Right here." I lifted an eyebrow at him.

"Seriously? I could just sit on the floor."

"Yeah Harry she could sit on the floor." I looked over at Ginny a little ticked that she would agree so quickly to let me sit on the floor that had who knows what residue on it. Harry shook his head.

"No it's fine I don't mind at all." he said his voice laced with finality. I sighed and shrugged and sat down on Harry's lap, my back against the wall. With Ginny silently glaring at the side of my face as if trying to make it melt off.


So you know the drill, review please! The next chapter will be up next week!
