~ Chapter 8 ~
"Everyday I have come here hope to find you standing here waiting to greet me instead of lying in the cold hard earth, decaying. And everyday I'm disappointed when you fail to meet me. But I will come everyday still, waiting for you to return to me." Molly Weasley slowly whispered to her daughter's head stone as she laid fresh flowers by the pink granite stone.
"One day I will see you again. And I can only hope I will repay what was originally due to you."
As was the tradition for Molly Weasley since her daughter had been laid to rest she had come everyday to Ginny's grave, hoping against hope that Ginny might be waiting there for her. It was a silly idea of course because Ginny was dead but a mothers hope was something no one every wanted to dampen with the truth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Where's mum?"
"At Ginny's grave again."
"Oh."
"You think she'd be over it by now even a little! But everyday!" Muttered Percy bitterly.
"Ginny was special to mum, leave it be it's only been a few months." Said Fred
"She has other kids to worry about though as well."
"So, move out if you don't like it."
"Hmpf"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wanna race?"
"You're on!"
"First one to the surface?"
"Sure, but no secret passages use only the main ones."
"Fine."
"Let's go then!" Yelled Vivi and she rocket off the ground on her hoverboard Raven right on her heels.
Both teens sped through the twisting tunnels of Gringotts bank each trying to reach the surface before the other. Raven who seemed to be a bit more talented on his hoverboard then Vivi managed to out maneuver her on the first turn, of course there were no rules in the race to say hexes couldn't be used and Vivi took full advantage of this loop hole. Using a slowing hex on Ravens board Vivi quickly passed him.
"Hey!"
"No rules on not using magic, your fault!"
"Oh so that's how you want it then?"
"Ha ha." Laughed Vivi as she shot around a bend and out of sight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"They are totally unaware father, no defenses are up and nightly watches have been cut down. If you want to strike now would be the opportune time."
"Hmm, sit tight Dragon the Death Eaters are on the move."
"Yes father."
"And Dragon?"
"Yes father?"
"Good work the Dark Lord will be pleased."
"Thank you father."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was just and average day in Diagon Alley for Vivi, she woke up late and bummed around her flat for a few hours before deciding to go out and shop for a bit. As Vivi walked through knockturn alley towards Diagon Alley she couldn't help but shudder. Something felt out of place to her, maybe it was the air or the shops she was surrounded by it was hard to tell. She brushed pass a figure dressed in a dark cloak with a pail face and sighed and she trotted up the steps to Diagon Alley. Something wasn't right.
The bad feeling in the pit of Vivi's stomach kept on growing as she entered Diagon alley.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Is Bill home yet?" Asked Molly Weasley as she set dinner on the table.
"No mum he's out, well doing you know."
"Again? Oh, you'd think he had more sense and not make me worry so much!"
"He did work in cursed tombs you know!"
"Oh a possessed mummy is nothing compared to a Death Eater or worse a Lost Boy! There's no telling how far those retched teens won't go!"
"Well he'll be okay anyway, he hasn't even met a Death Eater or Lost Boy yet let alone killed one." Said Percy in a sort of smug way.
"Murder is what got Ginny where she is and now her brother turns around and does the exact same thing!"
"Oh mum don't worry about it so much he's moved out anyway."
"Oh and that means I don't have to care about him anymore then?"
Percy didn't answer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Okay so it's not possible to fly then?"
"No"
"But I can walk through things right?"
"Well you already have haven't you?"
"Well yeah." Said Vivi sheepishly "But what else can I do?"
"Well you can change you appearance like me!"
"Really, how? Why?"
"When we performed the blood spell we really did in a sense become sisters. We traded power, life force, ability's, personality traits. So you now have some of my powers and I have some of yours."
"Neat, about changing though, how?"
"Well you kind of got to will yourself to look different, it takes quite a bit of concentration and control. There's no incantation or anything its just all on will. You have to want it bad enough."
"Okay, so if I want my hair blue then." Vivi screwed her face up in concentration trying to will her hair blue. After a while one streak of hair slowly changed but by that time Vivi had lost her will.
"Did it work?"
"Uh I think you might need to practice a bit more."
"Oh"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well Sirius you really truly are now our last hope." Said Dumbledore to Sirius as they sat in his office.
"So now that Vivi's dead the responsibility of watching the Lost Boys falls to me."
"I'm afraid so."
"Well isn't that just great."
"Ms. Weasley was never suppose to get this deeply involved in the order. She was just supposed to observe the Lost Boys and nothing more. However unexpected events have left us short handed and I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel a bit cheated."
"Yes all a big waste of time, she would have died whether or not we trained her."
"Well she's gone now and I need you to fill in."
"Of course, if I could just find the bloody misfits!"
"Yes if only."
"Hey you wouldn't happen to know what happened to Myrtle would you?"
"No but I suspect she might be in a pipe somewhere crying, I haven't seen her since before Ms. Weasleys death."
"Odd"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Ministry of Magic after the events of the events of the Quidditch World Cup had reconfigured their system in control conflicts between the Death Eaters and Lost Boys. With the death of Ginny Weasley Arthur Weasley had insisted on being transferred to the department in charge of citizen safety. With him working in the department new plans had been formed to insure the safety of innocent by standers. They had a new system configured they just needed a situation to present itself so they could test the new system.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sitting at a small café in Diagon Alley Bill Weasley sat with his wand in hand carefully watching the crowds, looking for anyone suspicious, anything out of place, and anything odd. So far nothing had presented itself but Bill had a feeling about that day. Christmas was nearing, only two-weeks away in fact and with Christmas came an abundance of shoppers who roamed around Diagon Alley looking for the perfect Christmas present.
Sipping the tea he had ordered an image of Ginny's blood covered body flashed through his mind. Bill frowned and looked around again. Something seemed out of place today but he couldn't put his finger on what.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Disguised in his dog form Sirius Black freely roamed around Diagon Alley looking for the Lost Boys base. He had been searching for days now and had yet to turn up any clues. He was sure it was in Diagon Alley though and he knew he would recognize it when he saw it, the problem was finding the blasted hide out.
Sirius sat in a dark alcove and sighed in a dog like way. He watched people walking by and wished that he could join them in their shopping. A girl with red hair walked by swinging a bag at her side, Sirius watched her as she disappeared down the street. Something seemed familiar about her scent, but he couldn't figure out what. Feeling he had nothing to loose Sirius followed her down the street.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vivi once again had the feeling of foreboding, something was afoot and she couldn't place her finger on what. She stopped and looked behind her but saw nothing, looking around she spotted a red head in a café that was looking at her. It was Bill. Quickly ducking her head she quickly made her way down the street.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bill still hadn't found anything suspicious looking until his eyes had landed on a girl with bright red hair. She looked out of place in Diagon Alley, they also looked a bit ratty as if she didn't own very much. Bill watched her for a minute or two until the girl looked back at him. She looked familiar to Bill, very familiar but from where is what Bill couldn't place. Bill would have watched her a moment or two longer if she hadn't suddenly taken off. Bill followed her felling something about her didn't fit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Why Vivi what's the hurry?" Asked a mysterious voice as Vivi rounded the corner. Vivi looked around and spotted Dragon.
"Dragon, what are doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing!"
"I'm on watch now let's hear your answer, you're suppose to be at the club!"
"What am I not allowed to leave or something?"
"Well..."
"I can do whatever I want."
"Right, shut up you prick before I slice you in half."
"Oh is that a challenge?"
"You looking for a fight?"
"Depends if you're looking for one."
"Hmpf, nothing would give me more pleasure then kicking you ferret arse!"
"You're on! Tell me when and where and I'll be there!" Yelled Dragon.
"Okay right now on the roof."
"Fine!" Said Dragon pulling out his wand so he could levitate himself to the roof.
"And you call yourself a Lost Boy." Taunted Vivi before she leap up to the roof.
"Bloody Witch." Muttered Dragon as he levitated himself up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Bill walked down the street after the red haired girl the hairs on the back of his neck began to rise, something wasn't right. Looking behind him he spotted a black grim like dog, the dog just sat there panting and titled its head to the side in wonder at Bill. Shaking his head he looked in front of him and realized that in the split second he wasn't looking he had lost sight of the girl.
Cursing under his breath he ran down the street looking for her but it was a fruitless search. Diagon Alley had too many twisting and turning path's that all snaked off in different directions and it would be impossible to find where she had gone. Just as Bill was going to ask local shoppers if they had seen the girl a loud explosion sounded and the Dark mark appeared in the sky.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Are you ready to do this then?" Asked Vivi as she drew her sword. Dragon smirked with triumph and Vivi couldn't help but feel as if she had fallen into a trap.
"So gullible."
"What do you mean?"
"I've been spy on the Lost Boys for month's now, I had the perfect cover as their expert swordsman, then you showed up. I was left out of the loop and couldn't do my job so now I get my revenge."
"Hmm, you think the Lost Boys are that stupid, we know who you are and what your little mission is. If you had really been accepted into the Lost Boys you would carry that mark!"
"Mark?"
"Yes this!" Vivi casually brushed her hand over her left cheek and a black square appeared.
"What when did you get that?"
"During the equinox, everyone has one except you of course, I heard they drugged you up really good before the ceremonies, so as they formed and alliance with the elves you were sleeping like a baby."
Dragons face turned red and he realized he had only been led on for the last several month's.
"Doesn't matter really, you're still going to die!" Said Dragon as he pulled out his own sword. "But before you meet your bloody end I have to make sure all the other Lost Boys will meet their ends too!" With that said Dragon pulled out his wand and launched the Dark Mark into the sky.
"Now let's fight." Said Dragon, Vivi glared and charged at him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alarms were going crazy in Arthur Weasleys office. A full-fledged attack on Diagon Alley was underway, dark magic was off the scale. Grabbing the specially enchanted stones from his office he ran out to the apparation area and apparated to Diagon Alley where he met up with the rest of the Department who were also Joined by Aurors.
"I got the stones." Said Arthur.
"This had better work Weasley."
"Oh it will, just make sure everyone is evacuated from the area, once the shield is up it won't come down until everything with in it is dead."
"How long to we have for evacuation."
"An hour, I need a few people to help me set these stones around the area."
"Okay you heard him one hour men, we got a lot of work to do."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The evacuation of Diagon Alley was a panicked process, Death Eaters were everywhere getting in the way of the Aurors work. Several innocents had already been caught in the crossfire. For a while Aurors thought it was just a massive Death Eater attack but when some teens where seen bounding across the roof tops it was clear this was a battle between the Death Eaters and Lost Boys.
By passing out port keys Aurors were able to evacuate most of the innocents with ease. It was soon discovered that Lost Boys were easy to reveal by the square marks they wore on their left cheeks. But obviously the teens weren't going to abandon their territory without a fight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arthur Weasley worked with as much speed as his middle age body would allow him. He wasn't exactly the fittest of all people but he knew that time was of the essence in this equation. With the image of his murdered daughter in pounding in his brain he vowed that no others would end up like her ever again. Placing another stone on the ground he continued on his way placing the stones all around the perimeter of Diagon Alley.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Death Eater's began appearing Sirius instantly transformed fighting against them, he was soon joined by many teens that were fighting against them as well. Sirius guessed they were Lost Boys. Using his new wand (acquired through Dumbledore and the order of course) to hex a Death Eater he was suddenly jerked back against a wall a found himself face to face with who the Lost Boys called Mad Hatter.
"Mundungus Fletcher." Said Sirius simply.
"Sirius Black" Answered back the teen with a cheery smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bill Weasley sat with a disgruntled look on his face at the Ministry of Magic with the rest of magical folk that had been evacuated via port key. He felt so stupid for letting the Aurors give him the port key, it was the perfect opportunity he could have killed both Death Eaters and Lost Boys. Yet here he was sitting in the Ministry of Magic far away from Death Eaters and Lost Boys not to mention his revenge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"It's time, is everyone out?"
"Yes, all areas are secure, only Lost Boys and Death Eaters in there now."
"Good punch it then!"
"Will do sir." The man pulled out his wand and muttered an incantation, the stones that now surrounded Diagon Alley began to glow a soft blue then slowly a dome began to form from the ground up until it closed off all of Diagon Alley in it's shield.
Now no one could enter or escape Diagon Alley through any means, or at least that's what Arthur Weasley hoped for.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raven was bounding from rooftop to rooftop as the shield went up.
"Interesting" Was all he could comment on it before he charge into battle. He wasn't sure what the ministry had cooked up with time but he high doubted it would hold up against the Lost Boys. If anything the Lost Boys would probably build on it and use it against the ministry one-day. That would be ironic! As Raven jumped over a gap he barely missed begin smoked by a Dragon that was taking flight into the sky.
"Great now Gringotts are in on this fight too!" Muttered Raven not looking forward to fighting the blasted beasts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vivi and Dragon were locked in battle, neither on giving in to the other.
"Do you yield yet?" Yelled Dragon.
"Not on your life!"
"Funny I thought I was trying to take yours"
"Ha ha Death Eater you're no match for a Lost Boy."
"Say that again after I've gutted you."
"Not before I see you're head on a spike!"
"Whatever." Vivi sliced and created and open wound on Dragons face.
"Uh oh you got a scratch!"
"You drew first blood so I'll use the first trick." With a flick of his wand a wave of water crashed into Vivi face blinding her, he then quickly cast a jelly leg curse, which caused her to fall.
"That's cheap!"
"Yeah it is, and what I'm going to do next will be even cheaper. Wingadium Leviosa." Vivi's body lifted from the ground and was pressed against a nearby wall.
"Myrtle." Whispered Vivi to herself as she struggled to get free of Dragons Spell. A voice in he head told her not to move though and Vivi suddenly knew what she needed to do.
Dragon rammed his sword into Vivi's stomach and she let out a piercing scream as bloody bubble out of her body. Dragon left her pinned there and watched with a grin as her blood pooled around her. Slowly Vivi's eyes drooped and her body went limp. As he turned to leave however Dragon was confronted with a red haired girl dressed in white with soft angel wings and a sword.
"What?" Said Dragon in shock as he stepped back.
"You didn't think it would be that easy said Vivi's angel as she lifted the sword above her head and prepared to thwack Dragon in half. Just as she was striking however Dragon rolled out of the way and grabbed the pendant he was wearing whispering something angel Vivi couldn't hear. He disappeared but didn't make it out of Diagon Alley.
Angel Vivi dropped the sword and slowly her appearance melted into that of Frost's just as the real Vivi walked up beside her.
"Good show don't ya think, or did I over do the blood?"
"No it was good."
"Great just wait until I catch that ferret I'll have such fun with him."
"Right, come on we're in battle here!" With that said both Frost and Vivi jumped off the roof in search of Death Eaters.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We can't get in?"
"From what I can tell Diagon Alley has been sealed off. No one can going in or out."
"What about the Gringotts tunnel system?"
"A possibility."
"I'll check it out."
"Good report back to us if you find anything I'll go gather the elves if the Lost Boys are locked in battle it will be us who will support them." Said Gwen to Myth.
"The Death Eaters won't stand a chance."
"Let us hope so, they may be more numerous then we believe though. But time is short now, go on your mission now and I will go on mine."
The two elves parted ways. The Battle of Diagon Alley raged on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bill Weasley was grateful to be home now and not at Diagon Alley, when Arthur had explained why Bill and everyone were evacuated Bill was very grateful to not be in Diagon Alley at the moment. Absently he leafed through the family photo album looking at funny old pictures thinking about the girl he had seen. He was sure he had seen her somewhere before. As he looked at pictures of his mother in her younger days it hit him. The girl he had seen looked like Ginny just older, but how could that be?
Was Ginny alive and if so was she trapped in Diagon Alley?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: Okay now the story is going somewhere, Draco has reveal himself, Ginny's getting the hang of her powers, lots of time has passed, bills hunting things/people and Diagon alley with soon be nothing but rubble! Ah yes fan fics are so fun to write!
Special note to Baby Sphinx ~ Depeche Mode is this awesome 80's band that plays pop/ rock. Their early stuff is funny but albums that came out later are awesome! If you want to I suggest you pick up Ultra or Songs of Faith and Devotion both CD's are really really good! Check HMV or Music world or a and b sound or just a music store in general. Trust me Depeche Mode is a great band!
Kanashii Wolf ~ Well you do have so valuable points but I can answer then all through the use of BS! See the lost boys were created by Mundungus Fletcher first of all so yeah does he know anything about gangs? Nope (do I? Not really) so the Lost Boys are more of a secret/not so secret society that hangs out has fun. Now as for Vivi and Frost, Raven was curious about her and doesn't didn't trust her or Frost that's why he decided to keep and eye on her/them. It's now several month's later in since chapter 7 so it's a lot of time to build up some sort of trust etc. Raven rose through ranks pretty fast though don't ya think? That's because Mad Hatter is Dung and Dung knows Raven/Harry even if Raven does know Dung. Okay I'm going to shut up right now so I hope that answered your question, the lost boys are a disorganized fantasy run away group to sum it up!
Thank you to all people, who have reviewed my story so far, it means a lot to moi!
That's all for now! Peace love and Depeche Mode!

"Oh it will, just make sure everyone is evacuated from the area, once the shield is up it won't come down until everything with in it is dead."
"How long to we have for evacuation."
"An hour, I need a few people to help me set these stones around the area."
"Okay you heard him one hour men, we got a lot of work to do."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The evacuation of Diagon Alley was a panicked process, Death Eaters were everywhere getting in the way of the Aurors work. Several innocents had already been caught in the crossfire. For a while Aurors thought it was just a massive Death Eater attack but when some teens where seen bounding across the roof tops it was clear this was a battle between the Death Eaters and Lost Boys.
By passing out port keys Aurors were able to evacuate most of the innocents with ease. It was soon discovered that Lost Boys were easy to reveal by the square marks they wore on their left cheeks. But obviously the teens weren't going to abandon their territory without a fight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arthur Weasley worked with as much speed as his middle age body would allow him. He wasn't exactly the fittest of all people but he knew that time was of the essence in this equation. With the image of his murdered daughter in pounding in his brain he vowed that no others would end up like her ever again. Placing another stone on the ground he continued on his way placing the stones all around the perimeter of Diagon Alley.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Death Eater's began appearing Sirius instantly transformed fighting against them, he was soon joined by many teens that were fighting against them as well. Sirius guessed they were Lost Boys. Using his new wand (acquired through Dumbledore and the order of course) to hex a Death Eater he was suddenly jerked back against a wall a found himself face to face with who the Lost Boys called Mad Hatter.
"Mundungus Fletcher." Said Sirius simply.
"Sirius Black" Answered back the teen with a cheery smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bill Weasley sat with a disgruntled look on his face at the Ministry of Magic with the rest of magical folk that had been evacuated via port key. He felt so stupid for letting the Aurors give him the port key, it was the perfect opportunity he could have killed both Death Eaters and Lost Boys. Yet here he was sitting in the Ministry of Magic far away from Death Eaters and Lost Boys not to mention his revenge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"It's time, is everyone out?"
"Yes, all areas are secure, only Lost Boys and Death Eaters in there now."
"Good punch it then!"
"Will do sir." The man pulled out his wand and muttered an incantation, the stones that now surrounded Diagon Alley began to glow a soft blue then slowly a dome began to form from the ground up until it closed off all of Diagon Alley in it's shield.
Now no one could enter or escape Diagon Alley through any means, or at least that's what Arthur Weasley hoped for.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raven was bounding from rooftop to rooftop as the shield went up.
"Interesting" Was all he could comment on it before he charge into battle. He wasn't sure what the ministry had cooked up with time but he high doubted it would hold up against the Lost Boys. If anything the Lost Boys would probably build on it and use it against the ministry one-day. That would be ironic! As Raven jumped over a gap he barely missed begin smoked by a Dragon that was taking flight into the sky.
"Great now Gringotts are in on this fight too!" Muttered Raven not looking forward to fighting the blasted beasts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vivi and Dragon were locked in battle, neither on giving in to the other.
"Do you yield yet?" Yelled Dragon.
"Not on your life!"
"Funny I thought I was trying to take yours"
"Ha ha Death Eater you're no match for a Lost Boy."
"Say that again after I've gutted you."
"Not before I see you're head on a spike!"
"Whatever." Vivi sliced and created and open wound on Dragons face.
"Uh oh you got a scratch!"
"You drew first blood so I'll use the first trick." With a flick of his wand a wave of water crashed into Vivi face blinding her, he then quickly cast a jelly leg curse, which caused her to fall.
"That's cheap!"
"Yeah it is, and what I'm going to do next will be even cheaper. Wingadium Leviosa." Vivi's body lifted from the ground and was pressed against a nearby wall.
"Myrtle." Whispered Vivi to herself as she struggled to get free of Dragons Spell. A voice in he head told her not to move though and Vivi suddenly knew what she needed to do.
Dragon rammed his sword into Vivi's stomach and she let out a piercing scream as bloody bubble out of her body. Dragon left her pinned there and watched with a grin as her blood pooled around her. Slowly Vivi's eyes drooped and her body went limp. As he turned to leave however Dragon was confronted with a red haired girl dressed in white with soft angel wings and a sword.
"What?" Said Dragon in shock as he stepped back.
"You didn't think it would be that easy said Vivi's angel as she lifted the sword above her head and prepared to thwack Dragon in half. Just as she was striking however Dragon rolled out of the way and grabbed the pendant he was wearing whispering something angel Vivi couldn't hear. He disappeared but didn't make it out of Diagon Alley.
Angel Vivi dropped the sword and slowly her appearance melted into that of Frost's just as the real Vivi walked up beside her.
"Good show don't ya think, or did I over do the blood?"
"No it was good."
"Great just wait until I catch that ferret I'll have such fun with him."
"Right, come on we're in battle here!" With that said both Frost and Vivi jumped off the roof in search of Death Eaters.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We can't get in?"
"From what I can tell Diagon Alley has been sealed off. No one can going in or out."
"What about the Gringotts tunnel system?"
"A possibility."
"I'll check it out."
"Good report back to us if you find anything I'll go gather the elves if the Lost Boys are locked in battle it will be us who will support them." Said Gwen to Myth.
"The Death Eaters won't stand a chance."
"Let us hope so, they may be more numerous then we believe though. But time is short now, go on your mission now and I will go on mine."
The two elves parted ways. The Battle of Diagon Alley raged on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bill Weasley was grateful to be home now and not at Diagon Alley, when Arthur had explained why Bill and everyone were evacuated Bill was very grateful to not be in Diagon Alley at the moment. Absently he leafed through the family photo album looking at funny old pictures thinking about the girl he had seen. He was sure he had seen her somewhere before. As he looked at pictures of his mother in her younger days it hit him. The girl he had seen looked like Ginny just older, but how could that be?
Was Ginny alive and if so was she trapped in Diagon Alley?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: Okay now the story is going somewhere, Draco has reveal himself, Ginny's getting the hang of her powers, lots of time has passed, bills hunting things/people and Diagon alley with soon be nothing but rubble! Ah yes fan fics are so fun to write!
Special note to Baby Sphinx ~ Depeche Mode is this awesome 80's band that plays pop/ rock. Their early stuff is funny but albums that came out later are awesome! If you want to I suggest you pick up Ultra or Songs of Faith and Devotion both CD's are really really good! Check HMV or Music world or a and b sound or just a music store in general. Trust me Depeche Mode is a great band!
Kanashii Wolf ~ Well you do have so valuable points but I can answer then all through the use of BS! See the lost boys were created by Mundungus Fletcher first of all so yeah does he know anything about gangs? Nope (do I? Not really) so the Lost Boys are more of a secret/not so secret society that hangs out has fun. Now as for Vivi and Frost, Raven was curious about her and doesn't didn't trust her or Frost that's why he decided to keep and eye on her/them. It's now several month's later in since chapter 7 so it's a lot of time to build up some sort of trust etc. Raven rose through ranks pretty fast though don't ya think? That's because Mad Hatter is Dung and Dung knows Raven/Harry even if Raven does know Dung. Okay I'm going to shut up right now so I hope that answered your question, the lost boys are a disorganized fantasy run away group to sum it up!
Thank you to all people, who have reviewed my story so far, it means a lot to moi!
That's all for now! Peace love and Depeche Mode!
