*~*~ Sighing irritably, Raven fidgeted in her chair. She couldn't stand listening to Fear explain the basics of Wizard chess to Lily, and she got up.
"Where are you going?" Fear asked, looking up from the board game.
"I dunno, I think I am just gonna go look around for a bit," she said and walked away. Lily and Fear looked at each other and shrugged.
"I know Raven, she doesn't have the paitence for this kinda stuff," Fear said, her piece taking over one of Lily's.
"I can see her point," Lily said, slouching in her seat. "I am bad at ordinary chess, but I just suck at this game!"
*~*~ Raven was walking through the deserted hallway, when she bumped into someone.
"Oh! I am so sorry!" she apologized and looked at the person. "What are you doing here?!" Sirius looked at her, shocked.
"I thought you would have known by now, being the incredible prankster that I am!" he grinned and Raven raised her eyebrow. "O.K., I was bored..." he admitted and Raven laughed. "And you?"
"I was being bored out of my mind by the basics of Wizards chest!" she said and Sirius laughed.
"That game is a drag! I don't have enough hair to play that game! It'd all be ripped out by the time someone beat me!" he said and tugged at his long black hair. Raven giggled.
"That I would pay to see!" she laughed and Sirius laughed with her. They stood there a while and looked at their feet, an uncomfortable silence fell between them.
"So, do you wanna look around with me? I would hate to get lost..." Raven said, and Sirius looked, (oh what's that word?) Relieved.
"That's the best suggestion I heard all night."
*~*~ "Oh my gosh! That was so funny!" Raven said, wiping a tear from her eye. "I mean, I never would have thought that you would get scared over a little ghost!" Raven said and laughed. Sirius snorted.
"I wasn't scared...I was...startled! Yeah! Startled! Who'da thunk the ghost was around that corner!" Raven laughed harder.
"You were scared! Admit it!" she gasped, holding her stomach. Sirius crossed his arms across his chest and glared at her.
"I was not!" he said stubbornly. "I was startled!" Raven stopped laughing.
"Rrriigghhtt!" she said, and turned to the Fat Lady. "Bladerdash," she said and the portrait swung open. She smiled at him and he smiled back.
"After you," he said, and Raven walked in, Sirius following close behind. Raven walked back to where Fear was reading a book, and Lily staring into the fire. She walked over to them and flopped down next to Fear, causing her to drop in her book.
"Oh, Raven!" she said, "You scared me!" Raven gave her a fake, cheesy grin.
"That is what I do best!" she said and Fear laughed.
"Oh? And I thought pranking was what you did best!" Raven look at her and Lily nudged her in the ribs.
"Yeah, Miss "What are you gonna do with those dungbombs"?" she said and she and Fear broke out into laughter.
"Haha!" Raven muttered and crossed her arms stubbornly across her chest. Lily looked at her, her green eyes shinning.
"Aww! Did we hurt your feelings?" she said, and patted her cheek. "But, you do have to admit, that was a pretty snappy catch-phrase!" They all laughed. Fear yawned.
"I think it is time to hit the hay!" she said, jumping up. "See you two in the morning!" she chirpped and walked to her dormatory.
"That sounds like a good idea!" Lily said, following her lead. She walked behind her and looked back at something and smiled.
"Behave yourself, Raven," she said, guesturing with her eyes behind Raven. Raven shrugged it off and waved them both good byes.
"Hello, Raven." Raven's heart began to flutter and turned around, but the happy feeling was extinguished. "Do I know you?" she asked, looking puzzled. The boy had red hair, and his brown eyes were very mousy looking. He was shuffling his feet and looking around nervously.
"No, but...but I remember your name from the...the sorting," he stammered. Raven looked and him and smiled.
"Your name, please," she said, politely.
"P...Peter Pettigrew!" he said, and held out his hand. Raven took it, smiling uneasily.
"It's...it's nice to meet you!" she said, lying. She glanced in the direction of her dorm through the corner of her eye. "I think I am gonna go to bed now, classes start tomorrow, you know!" she said, and hurried to her dorm leaving a very confused and lonely Peter standing by himself.
*~*~ [AN: I would like to apologize for this being a shorter chapter; I really wanted to finish this up. I have two major research papers that I have to devote my time to, and also I am leaving for about five days to go on a trip for my high-school band. I am regretting to tell you all this, but there won't be another chapter for about a month or two or three, but, I already do have chapter six in mind, so it's tentative. Thanks all of my reviewers! I hope I "rockith" everyone's "sockiths" ;) Oh yes! And before I forget, I am terrribly sorry for the disorganization of my chapters! EEK! I didn't mean it! I just discovered it now! Aha! Not good, I have fixed it. I AM SORRY!]
