Chapter 4

You woke the next morning to the soft hushes of voices next to you. You were getting ready to roll over and greet a good morning to those next to you until you heard

"Do they all know that she has the dark mark?" Ginny you decided was the owner of this voice, and clearly talking about you. How had they found out about the mark? You though maybe the night shirt your had borrowed from Ginny had climbed your arm, but you felt the fabric still twisted about you. Confused you kept still, lifting your head just a fraction in order to hear them better.

"Because she doesn't even know why she even has it." Hermione this time. And you also decided that Molly must have told them, while Arthur was showing you your room most likely...

"I guess, but what if she is lying? What if she's a spy for You-Know-Who?" Ginny asked more hushed and airy than before.

"If Dumbledore trust her to be here, we can to Ginny." Hermione soothed.

"Yes, I suppose..." She paused for a moment "...do you think she'll let me have a look at it? I've never seen the mark before!" Ginny asked eagerly. You could almost feel Hermione's shock and disapproval shoot through the room.

"No Ginny, you shouldn't! That's rude first of all, and, I'm not sure if we should know about it in the first place..." Hermione said uncertainly.

"But if you ask nicely, she might just let you..." You said to Ginny rolling over and propping your self up on your elbow.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't really mean to eavesdrop on you guys..." you said quickly at seeing their shocked and slightly scared faces.

"No, really, it us who should be sorry, we shouldn't have been talking about you like that!" Hermione quickly apologized.

"Na, its ok, after all, I just kinda popped into your house with out warning, its understandable." You said while sitting up crossed legged facing the girls.

"Still..." Hermione said while you noticed Ginny staring at your arm. You placed your head to the point she was looking at and smiled at her.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean...." she trailed off looking back to the bed. You were getting uncomfortable with their awkwardness with you.

"Err, so you said you wanted to see the mark did you?" you asked Ginny slowly. Her head shot up.

"Only if you don't mind!" she said. You gave a small shrug and began pulling up the left sleeve of the button down night shirt and turned over your arm reveling the black mark scared into your flesh. Both Hermione and Ginny bent in closer to you examining the sign on your outstretched arm. Ginny had a look of curiosity and Hermione had confusion etched on their faces.
"Why does the snake have a wing?" Hermione asked looking up at you. Ginny looked up as well.
"That's not supposed to be there?" she asked sheepishly.
"No, the true dark mark is wing free Ginny, and Hermione, I wish I knew myself why it does..." you replied getting lost while staring at the cursed image yourself. A knock at the door brought you back to your senses and you quickly pulled your sleeve down while Ginny called the person(s) in. The twins both fully dressed entered the room.

"Oy! A pajama party!" said Fred as he and George both leaped onto the beds. Harry and Ron walked soon after the twins, still in their PJ's with hair sticking in every direction and groggy looks on their faces.

"Aren't you to beautiful this morning" Ginny joked at Harry and Ron as they flopped on to the beds.

"Shu up Inny!" Ron tried to mumbled through the mattress.

"I wanna go back to sleeeeep." Harry whined staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Why are you so ickle Ronie?" Fred said while poking Ron in the side. He blindly attempted to swat away Fred's hand.

"I wonder why!?" Ron replied sitting up on the bed glaring at the twins who just smiled innocently back at him. You tilted your head slightly at the boys in confusion.

"We had the pleasure of waking up the sleepy heads this morning." Began Fred smiling.

"With a couple of fireworks in their beds..."George finished while rolling on the bed screaming in an apparent impersonation of Ron and Harry. You and Ginny began laughing with Fred and George, Ron got a hateful look on his face, Harry gave a very sleepy scowl but didn't really put much effort into it, while Hermione tried to keep a straight disapproving look.
"Well, your all a lively bunch" Said Mrs.Weasly from the doorway with a smile on her face "Now get up! Breakfast is almost ready!" She said before bustling back down the stairs.

"Ah, food, sounds good to me!" said Fred as him and George followed Molly to the kitchen."Come on mate, we better get dressed..." Ron said while poking Harry till he stared moving towards the door.

"Gah, forget that, I'm going down there like this!" said Ginny while hopping out of bed and making her way to the kitchen with you and Hermione in toll.

As you all sat in silence pretty much inhaling your food, an owl swooped in and dropped seven letters fro hog warts on the table. Each of you (Harry, Ron, Fred, George, Ginny, Hermione, and you) picked up the letter addressed to you and began to read it.

Folding up the letter and placing it back in the envelope you thought to your self how much stuff that was, it was then the thought of how you are going to pay for all of it struck you. But before you brought up that depressing subject you thought about the name "Alavord" Looking up at Molly, you asked

"Molly...?"

"Yes dear" She replied as everyone looked up from their letters to listen

"Erm, Why does my letter say, Ms. Alavord on it?" At this everyone really quieted down because though you had been here only 2 days, you hadn't talked about your memories, or lack there of. But considering you knew everyone else knew, what harm could come?

"Oh my dear!!! I forgot to tell you! Professor Dumbledore has decided to give you that last name and say you are a transfer student from the states! I'm can't believe I forgot to tell you, I'm sorry dear! But that will be much easier than saying you can remember you see."

"Ah, well that makes since..." you said with a smile to her which she graciously returned. You looked back down at the table and saw a letter there which you had not seen before, picking it up you saw that 'Rayven Alavord' was once again written on an envelope. You began opening it and folded out the letter within which ,in sharp angular yet graceful writing, read:

Dear Rayven,

Enclosed in this is the key to your vault at Gringotts. You vault number is 613.

Use it well my angel.

That was it, no signature or anything! Near exploding with confusion you re-read the note at least fifteen time before Mrs.Weasly came bustling over to.

"What have you got there dear?" she said reading the letter and getting a very strangle implacable look on her face before quickly going off into the other room calling for Arthur.
