NOT own Harry Potter. I only own Raven and the other characters that I made
up.

"Come on Ron, let's go." The whispers of Harry filled the Gryffindor common room. Raven leaned over the wooden balcony. Where would those two be going at a time like this? Rubbing her eyes, she headed back to the girl's chambers. Hermione was still sleeping. It was really unlike her, maybe Raven should wake her up... No, Hermione had a fight with Ron and Harry last night. Speaking of that, why was she going out with Malfoy? Had she lost her mind?! Wait! Hermione had once hit Malfoy. She said she would have to be brainwashed to go out with him. Maybe Raven should go talk to Professor McGonagall. Running over to her wardrobe, Raven pulled out her black Gryffindor robes, Raven pulled them on and ran down the stairs. Pushing open the portrait that guarded the Gryffindor house, Raven ran down the corridors. Coming to the third landing, she saw a sight that made her gasp. What was Snape doing here? Just what she needed, her least favorite teacher doing here? Leaning against the wall, Raven creeped like a spy to the next flight of stairs. Suddenly, Peeves appeared out of now where. "What's this? What's a firsty doing out so early? Should I tell.Snape?" Peeves crackled, drifting slightly over to Snape. "Peeves, NO!" She hissed. First of all, I'm not a firsty, and second I'm going to see Professor McGonagall." Raven hissed. "Really?" Peeves raised a blue eyebrow. "Well, in that case, shall we take the long way?" Peeves crackled again. "No because I don't want to get caught, my record is clean right now and I want it to stay that way." Raven hissed. "Well then, I guess I have no other business here." Peeves cracked. He drifted off down the corridor.
Harry looked around the girls' dormitory. Everyone was up now- except Hermione. What was she doing? She NEVER slept in on Saturdays! "Harry, look!" Ron exclaimed. "What is it, Ron?" Harry whispered. "This." "'Hermione's never shown us this." "But I did see her wearing it during Potions." "Something was glowing under her robes like crazy." Ron said. "This is it has the same glowing color." He finished. "Wow." Harry said. "Let's take it and examine it." Harry concluded.
Raven looked out for Hermione all day. Her eyes were glazed over and she looked out of it. When Professor Wisp asked her a question, she just shrugged her shoulders and looked out the window towards the gray winter sky. When this happened, none of the students noticed the smirk on Professor Wisp's face. They were too busy staring open eyed at Hermione. Something was VERY wrong with Hermione. And Raven was determined to find out. She would start tonight, by following Harry and Ron, find out what they knew. Then she would help them find out more about what was wrong with Hermione. People don't go from being happy and know-it-all class star, to shrugging their shoulders to Professors. A sparkle shone at Raven's feet. She bent down to examine it. Looking down, it glowed the most beautiful shade of red. She picked it up and slid it in her pocket.
"RON! HARRY! OVER here!" Raven called from the other side of the long emptied out common room. "What're you doing out of your bed, Raven?" Ron asked. "Well, as long as you're here, what do you know?" Harry asked. "Does this have anything to do with it?" Raven asked, pulling the necklace out of her robe pocket. "That looks just like Hermione's!" Harry and Ron said in unison. Harry held up an identical necklace out of his robe pocket. "This has to have something to do with it!" Raven said. "She's only been acting weird since yesterday, in potions." Raven thought out loud. "BUT she had to have found it earlier than that. Which would mean that she would have to have found it earlier than potions for effects of magically jinxed charm to set in. Which takes about an hour." "So, she had to have found it during...defense against the dark arts!" Harry exclaimed. "I think it's time we pay a little visit to Professor Wisp." Raven said, furrowing her brow, her eyes glinting darkly. "First, let's go study charms at the library." Ron suggested. "Why? While Hermione could be put in a deeper trance?" Raven exclaimed. "How'd you know that?" Ron asked. "My err.. 'mom' taught me that." Raven said, looking down at her feet. "Oh, yeah you mean 'taught' you that." Ron shot back, drawing little quotation marks in the air with his wand when he said taught. "Ron cut it out!" Harry commanded. "Besides, she's right. What if it's one of the curses that Moody taught us last year? You know? The Imperious Curse?" "What's that?" Raven inquired. "It's one of the three curses banned by the ministry after I.I mean us defeated You-know-who." Harry replied. "One of them controls the person who is under the spell, the second one causes terrible pain, and the third."Harry shuddered. "Instant death. I was the only one to stand up to it in class." "They did it to you?" Raven said, shocked. "Just Moody. He said it was a test. But really he was a servant for Voldermort." Harry informed her. "So! While we argue, Hermione's getting deeper in a trance!" Ron got a sudden look of hope on his face. "Don't worry, she is still going to the ball with Draco, even if she is in a trance." Raven said. "I read her diary. She knew about the dance before us because she is a prefect." So she asked Draco, who is also a prefect." Raven said. "Actually, he asked her." He asked her in front of all the other prefects!" "OUTLOUD!" Raven said. "Ahh... SO romantic." Raven sighed. "SO not." Harry mimicked. Since Raven had gotten here, she had been Miss Popular. Even SLYTHRINS were being nice to her! She had not only brought her attitude, slang, and accent with her, but muggle ways that were quickly being passed throughout the school. Harry was sick of it. He was always there, right where she was when the Hogwarts newspaper wanted to snap a picture for the cover. He sighed. "So what are we going to do?" Ron asked. "I say we go to the library. Now." Harry said. She doesn't have the necklace now, so the trance might come off by morning." "She is in no danger now because none of the teachers except Professor McGonagall have the password. And I doubt that it's Professor McGonagall." Harry finished.
Ok, now it's probably too long, but it's good!!
