A/N: well, here it is, the next three stanzas of "The Raven." There are eighteen chapters in all, so when its finished this fic will have four or five chapters!!! From now on its gonna get a little weird, because the raven is such a deep dark poem. And its also a bit hard to understand, so I could have some fun with this!
Thank You's: OK! I just want to thank everyone who gave me such good reviews!!! It made me feel special! I'm very happy you liked my story! And I also have to say thank you to J.K. Rowling for making characters that are so EASY to write stuff like this about! And finally I have to say thank you to Edgar Allan Poe FOR BEING BORN!!! Ok then.
Disclaimer: J.K. Rowling blah blah blah, Edgar Allan Poe blah blah blah. Ok, just read it on the first chapter.
The Raven----Harry Potter Style
Chapter Two
"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering fearing,
Doubting, dreaming no dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before..."
Not for the first time that night, Harry was stopped before he wanting to be. Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil came out of their dormitory at the same time Sirius Black pulled himself through the fire.
"Harry we couldn't help overhearing," Lavender shrieked.
"Tel what you dreamt, and we'll tell you meant. We just studied dream interpretation in Divination. This is so exciting," Parvati squealed.
"Ahhhh..." Harry started, looking rather confused at the girls, who were hurrying down the stairs to hear and interpret his frightful dreams. But they hardly made it past the fourth stair when Sirius broke in.
" Harry! I'm very upset with you! You promised-promised-to tell me if you had anymore strange dreams. And here you go having dreams no mortal ever dared to dream and you don't even send one little owl! Really! Remember the last time you had a dream like that? YOU WERE ALMOST KILLED BE VOL---"
"Don't say that name!" Ron yelled.
"Harry, we're waiting," Lavender called anxiously.
"Are you listening to me?" Sirius asked. So many people talking at once gave Harry a little headache, but he was madder about being interrupted by THREE people at the same time.
"SHUT UP!" he screamed as loud as he could. Everyone stopped and looked at him. "You two," she said pointing to Lavender and Parvati when everyone was quiet, "I'm not telling you about my dreams now go sit with them. And Sirius, I'm not telling you either. You go sit up there, too."
Lavender and Parvati obeyed, but not without mumbling a rather rude remark toward Harry under their breaths. Sirius looked very angry at first, but that expression was soon replaced with one of triumph.
"Okay, Harry, I'll go sit with them." And he did. Just as he and than girls take their seats, however, he jumped up again and shrieked, "HAHA! You'll never get me! I'll just apparate out of here! So long, suckers! MWAHAHAHA!"
Sirius, though, did not go anywhere. Hermione, after letting out a very frustrated sigh, said, "Am I the only one who's read Hogwarts: A History? It is impossible to leave like that on Hogwarts grounds! Am I the only one that knows that?"
"Yes," Ron muttered. Hermione hit him in the shoulder.
"Alright, Sirius, if you really must go, I'll let you leave through the fire. But no one else leaves!" Harry glared at the lot of them sitting at the top of the stairs.
"That's not fa-" Lavender started, but Harry intensified his glare, and she was quiet.
"Yahoo! I get to leave! Hahaha!" with that Sirius drove head first into the fire.
And yet again, Harry continued his poem:
"But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, 'Hermione?'"
"Lenore!" Hermione screeched.
"How come she gets to be Lenore?" Parvati asked, glaring at Hermione.
"Because I said so, now everyone SHUT UP! Ahem...
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, 'Lenore?
This I whispered and a eco murmured back the word Herm...Lenore!'
Merely this and nothing more.
Back into the chamber burning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
'Surely,' said I, 'surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore-
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;-
'Tis the wind and nothing more!"
Neville let out a relieved sigh. "Oh, good, it was only the wind! I had to admit Harry, you really had me going there for a moment."
Harry looked at him for a moment, and then decided to ingnore him. And once again, he cleared his throat:
"Open here I flung the shutter (He opened the window), when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore..."
Harry waited at the window for a few seconds, and when nothing happened, he repeated, louder this time,
"In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore..."
Rather reluctantly, a small black raven with a great resemblance to Draco Malfoy stepped in through the window. Harry smiled; looking pleased, and opened his mouth to speak again, but was cut off by Lavender.
"Oh, lookie! An omen! Oh, Parvati, what does a raven mean?"
Both girls became very excited at the sight of the bird, and stared chattering very quickly about signs and Professor Trelawny. Neville however, looked very frightened...well, until he fainted that is. Harry sighed.
"Ok, who wants to drag him off to the Hospital Wing?" he asked. Everyone raised their hand. "Um, you two are bothering me, so you can go," he said pointing to Parvati and Lavender. They jumped up and shrieked with happiness, while everyone else groaned. Lavender grabbed his head, while Parvati took his feet, and they carried his away.
"Ok," Harry said:
"Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door-
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door-
Perched, and sat, and nothing more...
Well, go on," Harry urged when the raven did not move from its spot. The raven seemed to glare at Harry, but flew to the perch above the portrait hole. Harry nodded approvingly at the bird. When it landed on its perched, Harry started again:
