Since I forgot in the first chapter here is the disclaimer: I hold no ownership to any of these characters except for their rather drastic new personalities.
Dinner ended and the Slytherin prefect stood up calling out "first years follow me" the small first years topped out leaving the others to follow. Raven and Draco walked out of the hall together chatting like old friends and Legolas having no idea were to go followed.
Glancing over his shoulder as he walked Raven had to stifle a laugh his grandfather had his sites set on Draco's swinging arse. Legolas noticing what he had been doing looked up and seeing Raven looking at him turned bright red. Raven just smiled and wriggled his eyebrows up and down.
They reached the entrance to the Slytherin common rooms surprising Draco since Raven had lead the way. "How did you know were the entrance was?" he demanded and Raven smirked "you really should learn not to lead enemies into your den" was the cryptic reply.
Draco confused simply shrugged and spoke the password and the wall slid open. The two elves followed him in looking around as they did. Snape was there giving the first years a lecture so they all three stood to the side until the first years had left leaving them alone.
Snape turned to Legolas "Mr. Greenleaf, were are we going to put you we have no extra space for a bed in the boys dormitories so it would seem my private chamber will be the best unless you would rather stay in the hospital wing." He added with a smirk.
Draco piped up "why doesn't he just stay in the prefect room with me there's plenty of space for another bed. Snape looked exasperated "and were pray tell would we then put the other Mr.Greenleaf?" he asked gesturing at Raven.
Draco smirked "well with you of course uncle Sev." Raven looked at Draco eyes wide in alarm he knew a setup when he saw one.
"I have an idea" interjected Raven softly "why doesn't Lego stay up here with Draco and I can take care of my own arrangements." They all looked at him but only two were confused Legolas knew what he was up to.
"And were would that be Raven, your favorite bed in the hospital wing?" asked Snape the use of the boys first name was not lost on any of them.
"No and I told you I'll take care of it. Goodnight" and he walked from the room leaving the others to do as he had suggested. Snape shook his head and went back to his chambers while Draco gave Legolas the password to the prefect's room once inside he transfigured a bed from a pillow and both soon fell into a deep sleep.
For Snape it was not so easy he wanted to know were Raven had gone. He cursed himself for it why did he care and when did he start using the boy's first name. Shaking his head he used a point me spell to take him to Raven. He grew alarmed when it lead him into the forbidden forest but still followed it until he ran straight into a wall, of vines.
As he picked himself up from the ground a section of the vines opened it was a door the man realized, and Raven stepped out a strung and loaded bow in his hands his eyes glowing as they searched the night. Snape moved and the gaze immediately settled on him.
"Oh its you well since you're here come on in" he said going back inside leaving the stunned professor to follow. Severus followed the young elf into the tangle of vines and was meet by the site of a house inside the foliage. Everything inside was made from the natural contours of the tree enlarged but not cut.
There was a den, a kitchen area and four doors leading out in different directions. Severus nodded in approval but carefully schooled his features when Raven waked back in and handed him a glass of something. He took a cautious sip and looked at the boy in surprise what was he doing with fire whiskey. Raven smiled at him and took a drink of his own "do you want to take a seat Severus" he asked seating himself on the couch.
Severus not thinking dropped down beside him "so your grandfather followed you huh?" Raven smiled again "yeah the old man just couldn't stay alone again he's been alone most of his life I think he deserves to find some friends."
"Your not the same person you used to be you know I like you better like this" said Severus and then wished he had kept his mouth shut. Raven merely looked at him "thank you."
He then stood and spoke to Severus "if you wish to stay I have an extra room off to the right feel free its dark out." And he walked from the room going through the door to the far left.
Severus sighed and gulped down the rest of the fire whiskey and took Raven's suggestion finding the right room and collapsing on the bed within.
