Chapter Four: The First Night

"Magnificentia!" Hermione said. That's the password.

"Rae! Hermione! What's that?" Ron pointed to the stack of papers in midair. I pointed my wand at the small flier table and set the stack down. I took four and gave on to Hermione, Ron and Harry and kept the last for myself.

I looked at the clock. 8:30 P.M. We still had an hour until we were supposed to go to sleep. I walked over to the empty desk. I opened one drawer. It was filled with parchment. I took one and dipped my quill into the bottle of ink.

I was writing a letter to my Mum.

Dear Mum,

Everything here is fine. Guess who is a witch? Hermione Granger! Remember my best friend from third grade? She's a witch! I think that's totally stellar!

Besides Hermione, I met Ronald Weasley known more as Ron and Harry Potter! Yes the famous Harry Potter from my childhood years. But I can't seem to remember him living with me before my real Mum died. I just don't remember him. I had the awful flashback again, Mummy! I can't stand it.

Harry and I are pretty close since we both lost parents and were orphans. Ron and Hermione are really hitting off if you know what I mean! She says that Harry really likes me but I don't think so. We're like brother and sister. But he's really cute.

There's another boy by the name of Draco Malfoy who is sweet on me and the one and only Hermione! He's cute too but personally I think Harry's cuter.

Tomorrow is when classes start. Oh and thank you for getting me a Nimbus Two Thousand for Quidditch tryouts! I love you so much! I'm going to spend time with my friends for now! Love you forever!

Your Black Raeven

I run up to my dorm and get both of my pets' cages. I bring them down to the common room to put in the pet corner.

Harry walks up to me while I open the cage of Angel, my white and black owl. I feed the hungry little thing and attach my letter to her leg. I rubbed her head affectionately and she nibbled my finger in return. Harry opens the window for me and he rubs Angel's head. She nibbles his finger.

"Give the letter to Mum and Dad, okay?" I kiss her head and she's off.

"You've got a beautiful owl. I have one pure white named Hedwig. I like the black streaks in the feathers."

"Oh thank you. I love her to death. I think I've seen your owl, a beautiful thing she is. A good glider too."

I unlock my kitten's cage. She jumps into my hands. She's a skinny white Persian kitten named Snowy, but I call her Snow.

I hold my hands out to Harry's shoulder.

"She'll climb on you. She's the sweetest."

Snow hesitates when I brought her to Harry's shoulder. Carefully she climbs on and clings on for dear life.

I laughed. I'm reaching up for take Snow off his shoulder and so is Harry. His hand rests on mine then I took mine away blushing slightly. I gently took Snow off his shoulder and ran to Hermione and Ron across the room. Snow mews and Hermione looks up from her deep conversation.

"Aww! She's adorable!" Hermione exclaims and takes her out of my hands. She spins Snow around with Snow mewing happily. Ron rolls his eyes then walks over to Harry.

Harry's POV

"I saw the hand touch! You must be psyched. Dude? Listen to me!" Ron had just walked over to me and was talking. I just stared at the girl.

"I was psyched but right now I'm worried."

"Why be worried than happy?" Ron asked quizzically.

"Because, Draco's sweet on her too, you know. I saw Draco, Hermione and Rae in the corridor and all of a sudden I saw Draco give her a kiss on the cheek. I'm just too shy and quiet to do anything like that. Draco will probably get what he wants."

"Ask her what she's doing for the Christmas holidays. I still have to ask Hermione about that. She's still playing with that kitten. Damn it."

"Yeah, I'll think about it..."

Rae was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen. I can't believe she actually showed up in my life. When she cried, I'll hold her. When she falls, I'll pick her back up. When she gets something, I'll be the first to congratulate her.

That was my first thought. Now Dean thinks she's going to use her beauty as a weapon, to manipulate us boys. That's got me thinking. Angela Grade used Dudley as a fighter to keep her ex-boyfriend off her. She hated Dudley's guts. She liked me. Not Dudley. Ugh... Bad memories.

I don't think I like her anymore. There are always other girls.

Raeven's POV

I smile while Hermione plays with my Snowy. Snowy is so content. I glance at the clock. 9:00 P.M. and I'm going to go and get ready for bed in ten minutes.

"I'm gonna go to bed, Harry. Hey Hermione!" Hermione brings my kitten over to Ron. I walk closer to hear.

"I'm gonna go to sleep. See you in the morning, okay?" Ron says.

"Yeah I'm going to sleep too. Goodnight Ron." She leans over and gives him a kiss on the cheek. She runs to me and hands me my kitten.

"I did it!" I smiled at her and she ran up to the dorm. "See you in the dorm Rae!" Ron stood dazed then walked up the stairs.

I heard a laugh and it came from Harry. He grinned and I smiled back. I sat on the couch and crossed my legs Indian-style. I stroked Snowy as Harry sat next to me.

"She's cute."

"Thanks. Hold her for a second." I went to my dorm and got my photo album. I returned to a cooing Harry.

"I'm back." He sat with his legs open, like any other boy, holding Snowy in his arms and cuddling her. He stopped cuddling and blushed. I sat close to him and opened the medium-sized scrapbook.

"Here's Snowy holding a fake knife and looking mad, I call it Killer Kitty, and that's Angel when I first got her, and this is me and my class in third grade. Hermione's not in that. Here's Hermione and me at my ninth birthday. That's at the school ceremony and my ex-boyfriend..."

"What happened to him?"

"He's a bitch. Damn it I hate him! He cheated on me with my mortal enemy, Diana Richards. I haven't dated since. I'm not going to date until I can totally trust the guy. UGH!" I was pissed off and Snowy was cowering on the other side of the couch. I leaned over Harry without noticing and turned over so my back was against the couch.

"I'm sorry, Harry. Sorry Snowy. Come on baby, my little kitty! Come on sweetheart, into Mommy's hands!" I cooed and Snowy jumped to my hands.

"Sorry, I have to coo to get her out of being scared."

Harry was blushing. I realized that I was leaning across him. His legs were open and my head in his lap looking up at him. I felt something in the back of my head and jumped up.

"Goodnight Harry!" I ran to the stairs of the girl's dormitories.

"Rae, wait! Ah well, g'night," Harry looked at me then walked up the stairs.

As soon as I got to the door Harry was just at his door. I glanced at him and he was staring right at me. I blushed and opened the door. The door slammed behind me and I was safe!!

Hermione looked at me strangely. "What's up with you? You look like you saw a ghost! Did Nearly Headless Nick show you how 'Nearly Headless' he was? Oh! How disgusting that was in the Great Hall! My first day in my first year and he shows me! How revolting that was! I was eating too!"

"No not that! By the way, I thought that was cool! But it's Harry! We...um..."

"You snogged him? Oh! My Raeven's first snog! Right?"

"No! I brought down my scrapbook and it just happens to be a picture of my ex-boyfriend, Mr. Oh-I'll-just-play-my-girl-Raeven-for-her-mortal-enemy. He asked me about him and I started getting angry. I just boiled up and Snowy got scared and cowered on the other side of the couch. Without realizing it, I leaned over across Harry. When I got Snowy in my hands I turned on my back. Then it hit me; my head was in Harry's lap while his legs were open. I felt something at the back of my head, then I ran up here! I'm so embarrassed!"

Hermione just laughed hysterically.

"Oh, I see the love. It's just your way of helping me, huh?" I said a bit angry.

"No, no! Did he blush beet-red?"

"Yes... Probably thinking how much of a pervert I must be!"

Hermione kept laughing. I rolled my eyes and walked to my dresser. I pulled out my pajamas, which was a baggy short sleeve shirt and tight shorts. The oversized shirt was a dark-red color with a wide metallic gold rectangle across the front and said 'GRYFINNDOR CHICK' centered in red letters. It was so long I tucked the front in my shorts and puffed it out. My shorts were white and plain, but were pretty tight and short.

I took my clothes to the shower and took a quick 15-minute shower. My showers are usually 25-30 minutes sometimes. I dried my hair and washed my face.

I remembered I had left my scrapbook in the common room and left to retrieve it. I walked quietly and saw my book. I saw someone sit on the couch and turn the pages.

"Who's there?"

"Rae? It's Harry." I sighed and ambled to my fate.

"I need my scrapbook, would you kindly hand it to me?" I saw the figure get off the couch and walk to me. He handed me the book. I noticed how close he was to me. He stepped back and looked me up and down.

"Like your clothes." I saw what he wore. Red and gold baggy shirt and black shorts is what he wore. His baggy shorts were down to his knees (A/N: What guy doesn't wear it to his knees?)

"It shows Gryffindor spirit and that's what being a Gryffindor is all about," a different voice said. I turned to where the voice came from and saw a redheaded boy of probably sixth year.

"Percy, this is Raeven Black. Rae this is Percy Weasley."

"Nice to meet you," we said at the same time. I grinned.

"Well I'm a prefect and both of you should be in bed. Five minutes to talk. No more than that!" Percy said quietly. "Professor McGonagall is doing bed- check in ten minutes. Hurry!" He walked out the portal.

"That incident on the couch... I'm really sorry about it. I didn't realize I was on your... you know..." I was burning up. You can't imagine the embarrassment!

"You're extremely embarrassed aren't you? Don't be. It was an accident."

"As Prefect Percy said, we should be going to bed. Goodnight Harry." Flushing slightly, I walked closer to Harry and kissed him on the cheek. My face grew hot and I ran up the stairs and shut the door behind me.

"Goodnight everyone!" Hermione said peacefully.

"Goodnight Hermione," everyone replied sleepily, including me.

I turned off the light and ambled to my bed. I pulled down all the blankets. I pulled and folded the thick comforter and just used the light blanket and thin sheet as a cover. My comforter was a light purple and light blue on the other side. I slowly got into bed and drifted off to sleep...

Well, in chapter ten (which I've already written up) it's ALOT juicier. And bloodier... You'll find out!

Please rate, even though I'm the suckiest bitch who ever wrote!

Much luv, Sarah Tajuddin
