Chapter 9
The last time we left off Harry followed Professor McGonagall with Raven to Professor McGonagall's office for their measurements taken for their quidditch uniforms.
An hour later Severus paced the floors inside Dumbledore's office while McGonagall and Dumbledore watched him, grinning over his protectiveness of the two.
A/N: Yes everyone this is where Severus begins to start caring about Harry's well being here… (Reaches for a tissue to dab her teary eyes; Joking on with the story)
"Are you having second thoughts Severus over Raven being on the Gryffindor team?" McGonagall inquired sitting in front of Dumbledore's desk in a comfortable chair watching Severus peer out the window.
He whirled around at the two, "Yes I am! Blast this no interfering thing! You know as well as I do what the dangers are playing that sport! Mr. Potter included! Putting them both out there would be free target on them both!" Severus lectured while clinched his left hand into a tight fist while Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall noticed quietly. "She has gotten closer to the boy more than we had expected," Severus informed the two listening and watching his fustration. "Now Severus you knew that this had to happen," McGonagall reminded the potions master as he sighed in irritation.
"Perhaps this would be a good time to discuss about buying them both brooms since using the school brooms are against the rules?" Dumbledore suggested leaving his office to give them some privacy for the discussion.
The two professors remained silent for the moment after the head master left his office.
"So Severus about Raven's broom, will you be finding the time to purchase her one or shall the rest of the staff pull in an collection for her..."
"Minerva! you know perfectly well that my family is not poor! I'll buy her a broom!" Severus huffed with peircing eyes.
"Well! That got you to fight back, about time Severus. I was getting a bit worried about you not getting such short tempered with me," McGonagall teased with a smile
Severus rolled his eyes masking his face well, " I don't take charity and neither does Raven. I have taught her to earn her way in this wizarding world on her own accord, and I still wouldn't give you the time of day as a mother hen to the girl," He replied masking a smirky grin from the woman
"And all this time I thought I was," McGonagall teased lightly seeing him look at her smirking
"I could have turned you into an old stuffed sofa when I had the chance to," Severus smirked
"Severus! Such a compliment indeed," She giggled lightly before they became serious once more
"caught Mr. Malfoy? I know Lucius well he would have taught the boy to fly with top speed," Severus stated in question
"Oh yes Severus she did, and dragged the boy back down flying one handed. You did have Hooch teach her well during the summers here before school terms began, I'd say it payed off quite well," McGonagall verified
"When does Raven need the broom, I can work a free time sometime next week," Severus sighed looking out the window once more
"Next week should be fine Severus, I'm getting Mr. Potter a Nimbus 2000. May I suggest that you purchase Raven one as well? I hear that they are the fastest broom around in the wizarding world," McGonagall suggested, Severus turned around once more nodding in agreement before leaving the headmasters office.
5 P.M. Dinner time Great Hall
Everyone was present inside the Great Hall for dinner that evening whether it be staff or student alike. The talk about the days flying lesson event had become the number one topic on every students lips from Gryffindor to Slytherin, not one house had missed the news from the first year students who rambled on like it was a new selling sensation. Harry sat across the Slytherin table from Raven filling their plates full of their favorite foods while the Slytherins looked their way grinning at them, then looked over at Draco Malfoy sniggering about him being caught and dragged to the ground quietly...his first day of classes was not going well with him at all from the two.
The two look alikes whispered among themselves about the wizards duel being heard by Flint and Etre.
"So how do we get out of the tower after curfew Raven?" Harry inquired to the girl across from him
"We wait until everyone is in bed asleep, then we sneak out down to the trophy room Harry, that's where the duel will be at tonight," Raven answered seeing Harry nod grinning
"Sounds good to me, Ron wants to come along with us," Harry agreed Raven let out a snort
"Ron is always wanting to come along Harry, he'll get us caught if he tags along," Raven stated
"Raven come on now, let him come too, besides he promised that he wouldn't get caught," Harry urged to her hearing her sigh
"Fine he can come, but if he gets caught, he's taking one down on his own Harry," Raven reluctantly agreed in defeat
"Just watch your backs with Malfoy you two, his dad has taught him to attack when you least expect it," Flint warned them as his eyes went to Draco's way swiftly and back to them, Raven sniggered
"So did my dad, so I'd say it would be fair," Raven grinned evilly. Harry sniggered, "you do everything don't you Raven," he grinned seeing her look in thought while lifting up his fork holding peas on it
"...Yes I do Harry...EEP!" Raven squealed after Harry flung a fork full of peas at her hitting her face, and hair.
.Raven picked up her fork full of peas flinging back hitting him in the face next as several peas splattered onto his glasses.
Flint sniggered leaning back watching the two with Etre seeing Harry take his glasses off quietly, sitting them down, he heard Raven cackle over seeing the splatter
Up at the teacher's tables Severus heard the laughter stopping in the middle of him putting his fork up to his mouth, his eyes slowly raised towards the two look alikes while he straightened up observing the scene.
"Funny Raven, really funny you got my glasses," Harry imitated a dying voice. She continued to laugh
Harry picked up a dish of mashed potatoes grinning "Raven your plate is a little low there," He lied to her
"SPLAT!" Harry smashed the mashed potatoes in Raven's face getting everyone's attention looking their way seeing Raven's face covered in mashed potatoes.
Severus sat his fork down on his plate watching along with the rest of the staff who were trying their best to keep from laughing. Raven took her hands wiping off at least ¼ of the mashed potatoes from her face, and then looked at Harry as she slowly stood up on her feet. The Slytherins busted into hysterical laughter over the two's antics. "Alright, Ok two can play this games Harry," Raven grinned evilly reaching for a huge dish of carrots holding it in her hands.
Harry stood up with wide eyes, "Now Raven, wait a second…"
"FOOD FIGHT!" Raven boomed out throwing carrots at the raven haired boy laughing along with him as he reached for a dish of broccoli throwing some at her in return going around the Slytherin table, dodging, ducking, and moving swiftly while it hit the students instead.
"Mr. Potter! Miss Snape! Contain yourselves this instant…" "Splat!" food hit McGonagall right between the eyes as the two went past getting her next. Dumbledore had his chair turned around with his back against the two laughing merrily over their harmless fun after seeing the deputy Headmistress get hit.
Harry ran behind the teacher's table standing behind Severus while Raven grabbed their gravy bowel finding away to get him when Severus intervened, "Throw that and be prepared for detention young lady," Severus warned not seeing Harry make faces at her behind him. Raven looked at Severus, then at Harry, and threw the gravy… "Sploosh"
Severus had suddenly became a casualty of the food war, drumming his fingers on the table watching the two take off continuing their war.
The food fight continued between the two, when suddenly before the staff member's eyes like a domino effect, the other students started throwing food at each other as well creating a multi chaos between all four houses. Draco hid under the table with wide eyes like a hidden prey being hunted down watching the commotion until:
"Mr. Potter! Raven!" Severus boomed out making the two stop looking at him with Draco in between, "Splat, splat!" "Argh!" Draco yelled getting hit from the last of their food fight hearing cackles of laughter from the students.
"MY OFFICE IMMEDIATELY!" Severus roared with a gravy covered face seeing them snigger at his appearance leaving to his office.
"Causing chaos among the other students! Having a food fight inside the Great Hall! Not to mention hitting me and McGonagall…" He stopped briefly to keep from busting into laughter before he continued on.
Harry snigger with Raven seeing gravy drip onto his desk listening to his lecture, "Gryffindors! You two are lucky that you are not in my house! You both would be in far worse trouble than you are now! However you are not in my house and you both will face the head of your house…and make sure…next time…you smack her with the gravy and not me understand?" Severus questioned after he could not contain his self no longer laughing while the two looked at each other in shock before looking back wearily
"Uh dad…" "Smacked her between the eyes!" Severus laughed while Raven quietly mouthed the word "ok" to Harry getting the creeps.
"Professor sir, may we go now?" Harry inquired squirming in his seat seeing him nod waving them out of his office. They walked out closing the door when Severus contained his self swiftly with a smirk, "And they say I can't scare my own daughter," Severus muttered leaving to get cleaned up.
A/N: Ok so I got a bit carried away here, but it was the only way to put a scare into the twins seeing Severus laugh
12 a.m. wizards duel
Raven met up with Harry after the rest of their house went to bed at the stairs going the rest of the way down to the common room to slip out, they got no further than the fireplace seeing Ron waiting there for them, however he wasn't alone.
"Oh no," Harry groaned seeing Hermione look at them tapping her foot "Ahem, Hermione…"
"Don't you Hermione me Raven Snape, I should tell your father about you sneaking out for a wizards duel, and I should tell your brother Percy on you Ron, Harry you should now better…"
"Be quiet Hermione!" Raven cried out shocking the two boys as they stepped back, their heads turning from one to another
"Raven your going to get us all into trouble…" "You don't coward out on a duel it isn't done…" "So that makes you in the right to stoop to Malfoy's level…" "No, but I'm not about to let someone tell me what to do like you Hermione Granger!" Raven stated heatedly ending that argument hands down.
Ron tapped Raven on the shoulder, "How about a go with my mum Raven she's always…"
"Protecting her family Ron Weasely!" Raven lectured in anger "Hey! You just said…"
"It's different when it is a parent Ron! Now come on…oh no you don't Hermione your coming so we can make sure you keep your mouth shut," Raven told her dorm mate hearing the boys start to protest
"You two don't have a say, now hush and come on," Raven stated to them heading out quietly with them following behind while Hermione continued to try to reason with the three annoying them.
They stepped out of the entrance finding one Neville Longbottom curled in a ball asleep in front of the entrance Tiptoeing around him when Hermione woke the boy up.
"Wha? Oh thank gods someone opened the…" "thud" "Entrance. Why me?" Neville whimpered out loud, Raven rolled her eyes in irritation from the nagging and the whining until she couldn't take it no more.
"SHUT UP! Be quiet! Not one word, seal your lips!" she warned Hermione and Neville. "I just want to go to bed Raven," Neville whined "See? Even Neville has brains enough not to go for a wizards duel…" "Wizards duel? I'm not missing this bed can wait," Neville grinned going past the other four who looked at each other, then shrugged their shoulders following suit.
They were a few feet from the trophy room when they seen Filch hanging about with Mrs. Norris. "Oh man, not now Filch go get a whiskey or something," Raven whispered quietly
"How do we get past Filch?" Harry asked her quietly "Looks like Malfoy set us up," Ron muttered hiding with Hermione and Neville on one side of a pillar while Harry and Raven hid on the other side
"Ron your…" "Right. He's right Harry Malfoy must have tipped Filch off by telling him that there would be a duel here tonight," Raven spoke in low key
"Why that no good Reject…" "Whoopee! Filch wears yellow knickers!"
Ron looked Harry's and Raven's way as they heard Peeves bellow out not far from them
"He's going to get us caught," Ron whispered in fear "Shut up Ron, Raven can you get Peeves to help us out here?" Harry asked quietly, "Most of the time Harry, however right now, Peeves is in a certain mood right about now…"
"Why is my Raven up out of bed with other firsties?" Peeves asked a bit loudly being heard by Filch, "Peeves! Is someone there?" Filch questioned the poltergeist as he started to walk their way
"Peeves, please we need a diversion, don't snake us out," Raven whispered, Peeves did a swirl in front of them, "Say please," Peeves requested setting Ron off "Please you dumb puff of smoke…oh no," Ron squeaked in fear
"FIRSTIES! FIRSTIES OUT OF BED!" Peeves bellowed out "Where? Where Peeves?" Filch drilled looking around
"Peeves, please? My poltergeist friend…" "Uh uh…" Raven caught on grinning evilly over what Peeves meant, "Peeves I dare you to steer Filch and Mrs. Norris away," Raven sniggered quietly
"What?" Harry pressed confused "Huh?" Ron, Hermione, and Neville asked dumbfoundedly
"I know where the firsties are, must say please," Peeves howled out while Raven almost doubled over in sniggers
"I will not say please! I take care of the school now where are they!" Filch demanded
"Shant say nothing if you shant say please!" Peeves cackled taking off past Filch steering him away from them.
The three looked at her in shock, "How did…", "I said Peeves was in a mood. He was in the mood to taunt Filch," Raven giggled seeing Harry grin at her
"Oh man," Harry sniggered as they took off back to the tower in a run up the staircase
"There's a shortcut up on the third floor…" Hermione stopped in her tracks just then.
"We're not supposed to go there, it's forbidden," Hermione interjected seeing the four argue reasoning with her when the staircase began to move on them
"Great, hang on everyone, remember they move every three minutes, Hermione you aren't going to have a choice here in the matter now, you have to come with us or Filch will find you here!" Raven told the bushy haired girl sternly seeing the staircase stop moving. She scrambled off with Harry, Ron, and Neville.
"Hermione please come on, you don't have a choice," She reasoned trying to keep the girl from getting into trouble
"Peeves!" "Hermione!" all four yelled seeing her huff up the staircase in reluctance before it moved once more
"Phew, come on this way," Raven urged leading the way down the corridor, "Meow!"
"Bloody hell Filches cat!" Ron cried out as they changed direction swiftly. Ron ran past them, "Ron! That's the wrong way!" Raven called out catching up with him to a locked door.
"Open it Raven," Ron urged "That's not the way…"
They heard Filch chase Peeves getting closer to them while Ron struggled with the door
"It's locked," He grunted getting shoved swiftly by them "Oh move over, Alohamora," Raved muttered the charm out loudly
They ran inside swiftly closing the door, "Alohamora?" Ron questioned Raven in surprise, "Standard book of spells!" Raven, Harry, and Hermione told him making him gulp while Neville kept quiet looking up over their heads eyes going as big as round saucers
Author: And now folks we meet that most lovable, huggable, three headed dog fluffy
"R-R…H-H, H-H, R-R…" "What?" Harry, Raven, Ron, and Hermione demanded Neville seeing the pudgy boy shake in his slippers
Harry followed Neville's gaze, "UH I know why it's been forbidden here!" Harry cried out with wide eyes as Raven's gaze followed suit
"And with good reason!" She shook in fear, Hermione and Ron Turned around looking up with the other three. They soon came face to face with the dog shaking where they stood
"AARRGGHH!" All five first years screamed in horror dodging the three headed dog while it chased them back out the door fighting to get out after them. They managed to lock it back up after a good five minute struggle.
"That was close," Harry panted catching his breath
"Mmmhmm," Ron, Hermione, and Neville moaned in agreement
"I swear it was never there before," Raven blurted out as they turned her way
"I don't believe you Raven," Ron glared
"What did you just say to me Ron?" Raven demanded ready to give him a punch
The two started arguing until Harry stepped in between them
"Enough, Ron Raven has stayed here before she started the look on her face clearly states that she's telling us the truth, now apologize to her," Harry warned
Ron sighed in defeat, "I'm sorry Raven," He grumbled out
"Come on Raven which way is it?" Harry asked at last
"It's this way Harry, Ron went the wrong way," Raven informed him glaring at the red head seeing him blush in embarrassment from being shown that she was right.
They made it to he tower going inside with Neville who was grateful for making it alive heading to the boys dorm for bed. Hermione crossed her arms heading up next
"May I suggest that next time listen before it gets us into more trouble or worse expelled," Hermione lectured the three
"When you stop with the nagging Hermione Granger," Raven told her standing her ground watching her huff up the stairs in anger
Ron told them good night heading up next leaving the two alone, they busted into sniggers, "Can't believe Peeves said that about Filch," Harry laughed
"Yeah, well I was telling the truth, that dog wasn't there before, we better go to bed Harry good night," Raven announced heading upstairs
"Raven, I believe you. Goodnight," Harry grinned seeing her look back and smiled at him before heading into their dorms for the night.
The Bludger incident (poor Malfoy)
The next morning Harry and Raven was met up with Oliver Wood in the corridor. Draco seen the two hiding not far from them listening in on their conversation finding out about their tryout. Draco heard what time they were to meet Wood on the quidditch pitch before he seen the three separate thinking, when an idea came to him grinning evilly as he walked away.
That afternoon after lunch they met up with Wood on the pitch while Draco slipped into the stands spying on them
A/N: Now its time to WHACK THE FERRET! Our next contestants comes from Lily and James Potter here they are Harry and Hally Potter (A.K.A Raven Snape) pick up the Bludger and take your aim at him
Harry noticed a trunk on the ground before them, "What's this?" He asked pointing at the trunk
"Those Harry are the game balls. There's three, Bludgers, a Quaffle, and a snitch," Raven answered
Oliver explained the rules to Harry about the position of the team members while Raven listened when she noticed Malfoy present in the stands
"Hey! He's not supposed to be here!" Raven cried out getting their attention as they noticed him as well
"Why that no good…"
"Just leave it you two, any way he can't hurt anything here," Oliver Wood told them taking out a Bludger and giving them each a beater club.
Raven got an idea with Harry then, "Hey Harry I'll bet you five galleons that I get Malfoy first before you," Raven wagered grinning
"Bet you five that I will first," Harry accepted, Oliver looked at them confused when they told him what they had in mind.
"That is cruel, heartless, and sneaky…I'm in as long as I get to observe who the winner will be of course," Oliver volunteered throwing the Bludger into the air and hitting it with a beater.
It started to return, "It's coming back you two," Oliver informed them "I'm first," Harry announced taking a swing at the Bludger "Crack!" The Bludger went to the right missing Malfoy by an inch. "Shoot! I missed," Harry sighed when it started to come back
"Here it comes!" Oliver called out, "My turn next," Raven grinned taking a swing next, "Crack!" It missed Malfoy by an inch once more going to the left of him. "Darn I missed too," Raven stated watching Malfoy bust into laughter at the two when they looked at each other.
"Together?" Harry asked, "Together," Raven agreed as they both took a swing at once "CRACK!" The Bludger went straight just as Draco looked up from laughing, "Uh oh…"
"WHACK", "THUD!" Draco flew out of the stands and onto the pitch out cold being seen by Madam Hooch.
Hooch apparated a stretcher under Draco's unconscious body while she gave him a lecture, "May that be a lesson Mr. Malfoy on spying on another houses team, twenty points from Slytherin!" Hooch yelled being heard by them, "SCORE!" Harry and Raven cackled high fiving each other happily.
Dinner came when the talk about Malfoy soon became the nights main event. Harry listened with Raven when Severus stopped in front of them seeing them laugh
"Ah Mr. Potter and Raven just the two I have come to see. You two have a punishment coming and since Mr. Malfoy is in the hospital wing for the rest of the week, your punishment will be to give him his homework from all of his classes," Severus informed them seeing their mouths drop open
"Dad that's not fair. He was spying out on the pitch, we was having our tryouts when that happened," Raven pointed out
"Yeah, and you can't give us a punishment since we're not in your house," Harry reminded him
"No, But I can Mr. Potter and I agree with Severus here, yours and Raven's punishment will be to give Mr. Malfoy his homework, now off you two go," McGonagall told them seeing them grumble getting up
"No wands you two, hand them here you'll get them back when you return," Severus told them
They handed him their wands before leaving for the hospital wing, when they reached their destination, they walked in finding Pomfrey coming toward them
"We here to give Malfoy his home work," They informed her in unison being shown to where he was. They stopped at the foot of the bed seeing the huge bruise on his face leading down to his shoulder.
Draco woke up seeing them at the foot of his bed growling at them, "Malfoy stop growling, you sound like a dog," Harry sniggered
"When I get out of here you two will get what is coming to you…"
"Your not in the position to threaten us Malfoy," Harry sneered
"Now be good or you don't get a treat," Raven grinned evilly hearing him growl once more at them
"We came to give you your homework Malfoy, My dad volunteered us to do it," Raven stated
"Besides we can always wait until you come out of here," Harry commented
Draco gulped in fear, "You don't scare me you two," He told them seeing them glare
"I believe your lying Malfoy," Raven caught his bluff
"Why are you messing with me now?" Draco whimpered in fear
"Let's see why are we messing with you," Harry thought loudly
"I know, it's because we hate you," Raven sneered as they dropped his homework by his feet
"See you tomorrow Malfoy," Harry told him as Raven roughly patted Draco on the shoulder "Yeah, see you tomorrow, maybe if your good we'll give you a bone," Raven told the blonde as the two walked out arm in arm happily.
A/N: That's it for Chapter 9 see ya in chapter 10 when things start to heat up bye for now. How do like it so far?
