"Well, there's one thing that's for sure. You have definitely grabbed Draco's attention." Pansy Parkinson told Raven, smiling. Raven smiled back, hoping it was true, The feast had ended, and she was getting situated in a Slytherin dorm along with a few other 7th year girls. They were un-packing clothes and books, along with other items to get them through the year.

"I hope" she replied, putting a long dark blue skirt into one of the dressers in the room.

"Come on, don't deny it. He was flirting like mad and you know it." Blaise Zabini said with a sly look on her face as she took a broomstick out of one of her trunks. Raven smiled viciously. It was true. Draco had made it a point to take every excuse to touch and talk to her during the feast, and held her by the waste as they walked to the common room. He had said something about vanishing stairs, but winked at Crabbe and Goyle when he thought Raven wasn't looking.

"She knows! Look at her!" Millicent Bullstrode exclaimed.

"Did you see the look on Granger's face? She looked as if she would go mad!" Blaise said with laughter.

"Huh? She's not in Slytherin, is she?" Raven asked, confused.

"Hell fucking no!" Millicent replied, shocked. "Oh hell, I'm surprised Draco didn't tell you about her. He must really fancy you if you got him so mixed up that he didn't tell you about Potter and his lot."

"Harry Potter?!?!"

"Dear, the time change must be getting to you. Potter isn't all he's cracked up to be, trust us. In fact, many of us think he's just that: cracked! Fell off his horse! Out of his mind and crazy! That scar "you-know-who" gave him must be a mark of insanity. The boy isn't stable." Pansy said, looking at her with a fake look of sorrow in her eyes.

"Oh gosh..."

"And to make it worse, he hangs around with filth! Those Weasley brats and that bitch mudblood, Hermonie Granger."

"WHAT? Harry Potter waste his time with a mudblood? Damn. That's a shame." The three other girls just looked at her in shock, as if they couldn't believe the words that came from her mouth. "What? did I say something wrong?" Raven asked, looking at the girls.

"You hate mudbloods?" Millicent asked her

"Well, I tolerate them because I have to. It wouldn't look good on my fathers part if his family was going around saying those things... but I don't like them. I don't think they're real witches to tell the truth." Raven said seriously. The girls just smiled at her.

"Well, Draco will be happy to learn that." Blaise said with another of her sly smiles on her face. They just laughed.

"Ohh! Raven, this dress is cute!" Raven looked over to see Pansy holding up a black dress of hers that she still hadn't put away.

"You're welcome to borrow it if you want." Raven replied, finishing un-packing her books.

"Eh... I don't think it will fit me right..." Pansy said, disappointed. It was true. Pansy was tall and slim. Her body type was different from Raven, who wasn't on the tall side and had a curvy figure.

"Try it on." she said, smiling.

"But..."

"Just do it. Trust me." Pansy changed into the dress and found that she had been right. The dress didn't fit her right at all. She was about to protest when Raven took out her wand.

"Altero" she said, pointing her wand at the dress. It instantly changed to fit Pansy perfectly.

"How the hell..."

"It's something my mother taught me. It's very useful. I can change it back when I want too." Raven said. She had to admit, Pansy looked nice now that the little black dress was fitting her well.

"Damn. You could give Mudblood a run for her money." The girls laughed and spent the night chatting.

A week had passed since Raven had started her year at Hogwarts, and she found herself loving every minute of it. Just as Dumbledore and Snape had promised, the Slytherins, as well as the rest of the school, seemed to welcome her. The only person who seemed much less than happy to have her there was Hermonie Granger, the Gryffindor girl that she had heard about her first night at the castle. "Oh well. Doesn't bother me any." Raven thought as she walked into Potions one afternoon. As usual, Draco was at her side, and their friends surrounded them. They took their seats in the middle of the class by their cauldrons. Professor Snape had his back turned to the class and was getting a small vile of blue liquid from his cabinet. He turned to the class and indicated that they should be quiet.

"This," he said, holding up the vile, "Is one of the strongest truth potions in the world. A drop of this and you'll be spilling every secret you're asked to. And the best part? The victim won't remember a thing. For exactly one hour the person who drinks this will answer every question asked of them. After that hour is up, their memory will be void of all questions asked and answered. It will be as if they never took the potion. It is very helpful as you can imagine. Usually I would save this for my N.E.W.T. students, but seeing as there are no N.E.W.T. students anymore, I'm forced to let you lot brew it up. I remember some of your performances in this class in your 5th year... let's hope you've grown smarter." Snape said, glaring at some of the Gryffindor's. He taped his wand on a black board and the ingredients and instructions appeared. "You have one hour and fifteen minutes to make the potion. The last 15 minutes of class will be spent clearing up your mistakes." Snape sat down at his desk and looked at the class. Immediately, they started cutting up ingredients. Raven noticed Snape give her a warm smile, and she returned it as she started grinding up dried chunks of dragons blood.

"Too bad she's only 17." Severus thought as he returned to grading homework from the 3rd years. "Well, at least Malfoy will have some fun. And that Granger girl stopped chasing him finally. It's so fun to watch that Mudblood grow mad with jealously." Severus smiled at the thought of Hermonie crying at night with visions of Raven and Draco flirting heavily at dinner floating through her head. It wasn't like Granger had a chance with Draco in the first place. After all, he came from one of the most prominent and well to do pureblood wizarding families in England. As for Hermonie? Well, she was a regular mudblood. It wasn't like she was even really pretty, just average. True, she excelled in her schoolwork, but Draco didn't want anything to do with her. Raven, on the other hand, was much more than pretty. Even Severus had to admit that he was a bit taken back by the girl when he first saw her. On top of that, she was pureblood, rich, and smart as well, though she didn't flaunt it like Granger did. She had no problem flaunting her body, though it seemed she didn't do it on purpose. Anything she wore made her look delicious. She was also the American Minister's daughter, which was enough to attract any man. "Damn you Draco, you lucky git. Well, get one in for me..." Severus thought with a devious smile on his face.

"Professor? Can you help me with this?" Snape looked up, ready to take 10 points from Gryffindor from being interrupted from his thoughts. The thought vanished when he saw Raven standing above him.

"Yes. What do you need help with, Miss. Stardust?"

"Well, this potion... It says that you have to add the powdered flabberowrm eggs in a specific way. Can you help me? I don't want to mess it up." Snape looked at Raven, a bit in shock at first. He then smiled and walked with her back to her cauldron. He was very pleased with her request. Not many students would have dared to muster up the courage to interrupt him when he was working. "Professor, about the flabberowrm eggs..."

"Yes, of course. You want to take about an ounce... no, a bit more than that... there you go. Hold in in your fist. Perfect. Now, in a counter-clockwise motion, slowly let it out of your hand, like sand. Good. Now stop and let go clockwise until it's gone. Excellent, Raven." Raven watched the potion as it turned the exact shade of blue as the liquid in the vile had been. Severus was very impressed. There were full grown wizards that couldn't make the potion. "Class, look over here. Miss. Stardust has made an amazing batch of the truth draught. Twenty points to Slytherin! Raven, you're the first student to make it perfect." Snape walked around the class, inspecting the other students work. As usual, Neville had produced a thick liquid that looked like black cement. Potter's wasn't much better. Severus was even pleased to see that Grangers potion was a greenish blue. He smiled and noted that the Slytherin's potions looked the best, as always. "Now, get a flask and fill it. Label it and put it on my desk." The students did as they were told and hurried out of the classroom. Draco approached Snape's desk caring his and Raven's potions.

"Going a little soft, are we?" Severus taunted quietly so Raven wouldn't hear.

"Sometimes you have to go soft to go hard if you get my drift, sir." Draco replied, smiling wickedly. Snape retuned the smile and they looked at Raven who was clearing up the rest of her potion. "Shit!" she cursed as she dropped her wand. She bent down to pick it up and put her books into her bag.

"Well, you sure have picked a nice one, Draco." Snape commented as the two admired her bending over. "Much better than that mudblood who was after you last year." Draco nodded in agreement.

"Thanks for helping me, Professor." Raven said, walking up to the desk.

"Anytime, Miss. Stardust. Anytime."

"Raven, let's get out of here and grab lunch. We can take it outside if you'd like." Draco offered.

"Ohh! That sounds nice." Raven said, smiling. Draco put his arm around her hips and led her out of the class. Before he left, he turned back and winked at Snape.

AN: Thanks for the reviews. :) This will start to get deeper into the main plot soon. (And way more sexual)
