CHAPTER 5
The next morning, as soon as Harry got up, he rushed down the stairs to try and find Raven. She was no where in sight. However, when Harry got himself some breakfast, Remus was in the Kitchen, drinking some coffee.
"Remus, can I ask you something?"
"Yeah Harry, go ahead. Oh and sorry I missed the cake last night."
"Oh that's ok Remus. We saved you a piece. You know how you went up to change and raven with up with you, I know its rude and everything, but we followed her up, and we peeked unto your room, and... well... we saw two wolves in there. Why didn't anyone tell us Raven was a werewolf? And also, why doesn't Raven need wolfbane potion"
"Harry, for one thing, we didn't tell you that she was a werewolf, because she's not a werewolf, remember that Dumbledore told you she was a multiple animagus, she was a wolf to keep me company while I was a werewolf."
"Oh, ok. Thanks moony. Umm do you know were Raven is?"
"Nope, sorry Harry, haven't seen her. As a matter of fact, none has this morning, Hermione, Ron and Ginny checked her room, but she wasn't there."
"I think I know where she is now."
Harry went strait up to Ravens room, and started to search, he gave up soon and looked out the window, and then he opened the window. Raven was outside, in mid air, cross legged and staring at the sky.
"Thought you might find me here. I was beginning to think you weren't going to come at all. Do you want to come outside with me?"
"I would if I could, but I can't, so why don't you come inside before you fall.'
"You're saying it as though it's a bad thing; I think I shall stay outside. I hate being cooped up, don't you?"
Raven could tell that something was bothering Harry by the way he didn't put up much of a fight to get her back inside, so she came in.
"So Harry, what do you want to talk about?"
Instead of an answer, Harry broke down, and even though he tried desperately not to, he cried, and cried for about 20mins.
"Feel better?" "I just can't believe I was so stupid and let Sirius die." "You weren't stupid Harry, you were tricked. Any one of us would have done the same thing in your place. Sirius would have done the same thing." "It's my fault he's dead, I as good as killed him." "Don't let me hear you talk like that again! Bellatrix Lestrange killed him, Voldemort organized it, and Kreacher plotted it! You were used as a pawn in all of it! You didn't kill Sirius Harry, he'd hate to hear you say that and know you were feeling this way! Don't let Voldemort win, don't let Sirius' death be for nothing!" Harry was quiet as she spoke, but Raven knew he was listening. She didn't think he quite believed her yet, but at least he was listening. Harry was surprised at how easy he found her to talk to, particularly after breaking down like that. He wondered what Raven really thought about that. She didn't seem to think any less of him, and it was easier sitting here on the floor with her than facing everyone on the other side of the door, so he stayed. Talking about nothing really, but relaxing and letting all the tension he'd carried with him for so long roll off him as he sat and listened to her ramble on. Hermione and Ron opened the door of Raven's room a little and saw the two talking and decided to leave them alone. Lately, Harry had been constantly on the verge of breaking down. They went down stairs again and got some sandwiches before Ginny, Fred and George ate them all, and brought them back up to them
