Here's the new chapter. Thank you for all of the reviews!
Anyway on with the show! Or is it Story? *shrugs* Oh well …
Titan Tower …
Robin sat alone in the Tower common room. Cyborg was working on his "baby", Starfire was at the mall of shopping, and Beastboy … well he didn't know where BeastBoy was.
He was updating Raven's file in the family section. Her file was the longest out of all the Titans' original, North, East, South, and West. It was an understatement to say she had a complicated past.
Just as he was pondering if Harry should have a file, BeastBoy walked in. Looking up from the computer Robin asked, "What's up BB?"
BeastBoy smiled showing off his single fang. "Nothing," Robin had a feeling there was going to be a but, "but who is Zatanna and why did you ask her to watch Raven?"
Sometimes he hated being right.
Study of Ancient Runes …
Should he tell her?
When he and Ron refused to tell Raven what the Dark Mark was she resorted to glaring daggers at them. Then when she asked Hermione and she did the same. Well … they're very lucky looks can't kill, He thought to himself.
Raven had only stopped glaring at them to take notes and he had a feeling as soon as class was over she would start again. He wasn't sure how much more he could take.
"Mr. Potter what does Ehwaz mean?" Harry was snapped from his thoughts with Professor Babbling's question.
"Uh", he glanced at Raven a small smile flitting across her face and knew she was enjoying watching him suffer, as most siblings would in the situation, "defense?" He guessed.
"Incorrect, does anyone know the correct answer?" Harry watched as Raven's smile grew as she raised her hand.
Professor Babbling turned toward his sister, "Raven is it?"
She nodded, " Ehwaz means partnership."
"Correct, three points to Gryffindor." Raven's smile started to rival the Cheshire cat's, when they heard a crash from somewhere in the castle. I raised an eyebrow at her and she blushed.
Titan Tower …
BeastBoy raised an eyebrow at his team leader. All of the logic he provided was sound, but something wasn't right. Usually when Robin gave him or the team an explanation for one of his decisions, it was short and to the point. But in this instance, that was not the case. Even as he was thinking this over Robin was still giving reasons for Zatanna to watch over Raven. BeastBoy decided to test his theory.
He took his chance when Robin had paused in mid-sentence to take a breath, "Dude! You have a crush on her!" Robin's face instantly reddened. He was right! Seeing the blush appearing on the Boy Wonder's face he knew it for sure. Now, he smiled evilly on the inside, he could do this.
"Robin and Rae-Rae sitting in a tr-" A disk grenade was thrown at his chest, interrupting his song. Robin was holding the remote to it and he did not look happy.
"One. More. Word. And I will press this button Garfield." Robin growled. If the bomb stuck to his chest wasn't obvious indicator that Robin was angry, there was also the fact that he had used his real name. Or the fact that BeastBoy had never told Robin his real name. Yeah, he was definitely in trouble.
Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom …
Raven and the unkempt hair trio were sitting in the Defense Against the Darks Arts classroom waiting for Umbridge. Most of the other students were goofing off, so Raven took the opportunity to question the trio yet again.
"Tell me what the Dark Mark means."
"No." They replied in unison. She was starting to get seriously annoyed, if they keep refusing to tell her what the Dark Mark meant for much longer, she might show them what she did to Malfoy.
"Tell me or I'll do to you guys what I did to Malfoy."
"No." They replied yet again in unison. She noticed Ron start to sweat a little and she produced a devilish smile, he would be the first to fall.
"Don't say I didn't warn you." She pulled up her hood (she transfigured her cloak to be like the uniform robe, just with a hood) and let the shadow cover her face. She gestured for the trio to come closer and they did. (Though Hermione had to pull Ron forward.)
In a Nano-second her violet were gone, replaced with four blood red eyes. Ron fainted on the spot, she caught him using telekinesis, keeping him upright as not to attract attention. Whereas Harry and Hermione only stared open jawed.
Unbeknownst to Raven and the unkempt hair trio Umbridge decided to walk in at that moment. She saw Raven's eyes and shrieked, "THE MINISTRY WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS!"
At Umbridge's shriek everyone turned to see her retreating figure, Raven's eyes' returned to normal, and Ron awoke with a, "Wuah happened?"
Raven turned to the trio. "Will you tell me what the Dark Mark is now?"
Harry stared at her, his voice filled with awe, "You just made Ron faint, our new D.A.D.A. teacher run out of the room screaming, and the first thing you do is ask about the Dark Mark?"
She gave him a look that would make Professor McGonagall proud.
The boy who lived threw his hands up in frustration, "Fine it's Voldemort's mark!" At the name Voldemort several students gasped, Harry only rolled his eyes.
Hermione looked at Harry, Raven, then Ron, and the door and said questionably, "I guess there's no class."
Raven nodded and pulled down her hood. Thinking Ron could stand on his own, she dropped the telekinesis and he fell to the floor.
She stared at him. Then at Harry and Hermione, an embarrassed, "Oops" left her lips. "Is there a nurse's office somewhere?"
A few minutes later in the Medical Wing …
They had taken Ron to the medical wing, via Locomotor charm, and were now being interrogated by Madam Pomfrey.
"So could any of you explain how Mr. Weasley fainted, regained consciousness, and then was knocked out?"
Raven looked at Hermione, Hermione looked at Harry, Harry looked at both Raven and Hermione.
When it became apparent neither Hermione nor Raven was going to explain, Harry knew he'd have to explain.
He looked the nurse straight in the eye, "Madam Pomfrey, with all due respect, I don't think you'd believe me."
She stared long and hard at him, and then sighed, "Knowing you Mr. Potter you're probably correct." She turned to look at Ron lying in the cot, then turned back to face them. "Mr. Weasley should come around sometime before dinner. Come back and check on him sometime before then."
The three Gryffindors quickly exited the Hospital Wing and headed for the Common Room.
Well that's the end of the chapter. How did you like Raven's first class with Umbridge?
Sorry to the BBxRae fans, but RaexRob won fair and square.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter, please review.
