CHAPTER 7

"So raven, are you going to enter the talent quest?"

"No I haven't any talents. It would be so embarrassing any way."

"Oh. Cause Parevati recognizes you from a magazine. Turns out you're a world renounced pop singing sensation, that's bigger than the weird sisters."

"Sorry, but you've got the wrong Raven."

Hermione took that into consideration, then walked down stairs and put ravens name on the list for the acts. She was going to get her back for stealing her Ronnikins away from her.

On the night of the talent quest, raven was in her usual black, hooded cloak. (Let's call it a cloak from now on.)

The talents were......... interesting. There was Parvati telling fortunes, a duel that ended in Fred and George going to the hospital wing. (They came to it, even though they were in big trouble from their mum.) and other miscellaneous acts.

"And last but not least, Raven will be performing next." Announced Dumbledore after a few minutes of chatter.

A loud murmur erupted across the hall, as Raven approached the stage.

"When you're ready."

Raven said some incantations, and music began as it became clear that Raven was going to sing. The music was eerie, yet beautiful and soft, then without warning, became louder. She had obviously done this before.

"Memories consume

Like opening the wound

I'm picking me apart again

You all assume

I'm safe here in my room

Unless I try to start again"

I don't want to be the one

The battles always choose

'Cause inside I realize

That I'm the one confused"

"I don't know what's worth fighting for

Or why I have to scream

I don't know why I instigate

And say what I don't mean

I don't know how I got this way

I know it's not alright

So I'm breaking the habit

I'm breaking the habit

Tonight"

"Clutching my cure

I tightly lock the door

I try to catch my breath again

I hurt much more

Than anytime before

I had no options left again"

"I don't want to be the one

The battles always choose

'Cause inside I realize

That I'm the one confused"

"I don't know what's worth fighting for

Or why I have to scream

I don't know why I instigate

And say what I don't mean

I don't know how I got this way

I'll never be alright

So, I'm breaking the habit

I'm breaking the habit

Tonight"

"I'll paint it on the walls

'Cause I'm the one at fault

I'll never fight again

And this is how it ends"

"I don't know what's worth fighting for

Or why I have to scream

But now I have some clarity

to show you what I mean

I don't know how I got this way

I'll never be alright

So, I'm breaking the habit

I'm breaking the habit

I'm breaking the habit

Tonight"

All was silent when Raven had finished. She was so embarrassed, that she left the stage and started to the door, when Parvati yelled out" I knew it was you! I knew it! your from that band, Evanescence!"

And with that, Raven ran out the door, while the whole hall was in chatter about having a pop star at their school.
