CHAPTER 10
The next week, On Wednesday, Classes were called off, so that the student body could get ready for the concert that night. The teachers and some of the students and Prefects were getting the Great Hall ready for the Concert. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco, Neville, Raven, Paverati, Padma and Luna were the mainly the students that were helping.
Hermione opened the mind link between herself and Raven, and told her that most of the boys at Hogwarts are going to see you perform, and that Draco was only there to try and get snugly with her. And Hermione was right about both things. Draco at uncountable times, tried to get Raven to kiss him, or to even go out with him. It only took Raven 30 seconds alone with Draco to send him to the hospital wing with a broken jaw, bleeding nose and a dislocated shoulder.
It was about 5:30 when Raven started to get nervous.
"What's wrong Ray, don't worry, we all know that you'll be great." Said Harry when he saw her shaking uncontrollably.
"It's not that, it's just that, well........................"
"Well what Raven? It can't be that bad."
"It's just that, well...... I haven't done a concert since I came to England, I'm just really nervous since I haven't done it for a while, that's all."
Raven couldn't bring herself to tell Harry why she was really nervous.
"I hope that everyone has had an enjoyable day to get ready." Announced Professor Dumbledore.
"And Now, without further ado, Raven Potter.
Music started to play, as smoke came out of no where. A crow could be heard in the distance as the music played. It was eerie, yet beautiful. A guitar started to play, as Raven appeared out of no where and began to sing.
"I tried to kill the pain
but only brought more
I lay dying
and I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming
am I too lost to be saved
am I too lost?
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
do you remember me
lost for so long
will you be on the other side
or will you forget me
I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming
am I too lost to be saved
am I too lost?
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
i want to die!!!
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
my wounds cry for the grave
my soul cries for deliverance
will I be denied Christ
tourniquet
my suicide"
The music stopped, and every body cheered.
Soon, more music started to play, this time it was very soft and sad.
"I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus]
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
[Chorus]
Again the music stopped, and the school cheered. Raven was about to start again, when a tall boy, the same age as Raven, entered the room and walked right up to her. A cold chill entered the room as he came closer. The students cleared the way for him as he came closer to Raven.
"What are you doing here Saku? I thought I made it clear to you that you are to never hurt anyone again." Said Raven, as she got down from the stage.
"Well Raven, or should I say your highness, I will never hurt anyone else again. Just after two more."
"I won't let you kill any of these innocent people Saku. And don't call me that name."
"Well Raven, if I were you, I wouldn't be worried about anyone else but you."
Saku raised the palm of his hand to the students, and they were all pushed back against the wall by some kind of magic, and they were all chained to the wall with some sort of charm. With the spectators out of the way, (including the teachers) and not going anywhere, Saku walked right up to Raven, so that they were only 3 centimeters away from each other. Saku grabbed her and pushed her against a wall as not to go anywhere in a hurry. He kissed her, and through much struggle on Ravens part, he started to sink his teeth into Raven's neck.
Everyone could only watch in horror, as Raven started to go limp with every second Saku's teeth was sucking out blood.
When he was finished, he let her go and Raven dropped to the floor.
Harry couldn't take this any more. He focused all his strength, like Raven had told him at headquarters, and unstuck himself, using his wandless magic.
"SAKU!!!! HOW DARE YOU HURT MY COUSIN!!!?"
"Well if it isn't Harry Potter. You haven't noticed have you Harry, I haven't hurt her, I've turned her. No more pain and misery, no more responsibility."
As Saku was saying this, Raven had gotten up and was slowly walking towards Harry and Saku.
"And speak of the Queen, hear she is."
Harry spun around and saw Raven, but it couldn't be the Raven he knew. This Raven had pure white hair and a death-like stare. Her face was extremely pale, and it looked as though it had never shown any emotion.
"HARRY! WATCH OUT!!! SHE'S A VAMPIRE NOW" Yelled Hermione and Professor Dumbledore.
"You see Harry, even the Queen of Egypt can be easily turned, the most powerful Witch in the world, is a vampire, so what hope have you got to defeat Voldemort?"
"I am not a Vampire Saku, you cannot harm me." Yelled Raven, as she did a spinning back kick, and hit Saku right in the jaw, knocking him to the ground.
"And it would pay if you left my family alone."
Saku stood up and tried to get out of the hall, but Raven stopped him and took a piece of wood that was lying on the ground, and staked him.
With one wave of her hand, every one was released from the wall.
"Raven, are you ok?" asked professor Dumbledore. Raven was shaking uncontrollably again.
"Yeah, I'm fine, I ........." were the last words Raven said before she passed out.
