Chapter 4
As the carriage cam to a stop, you were the last to get out behind Remus, but when you got to the doorway of the carriage you saw a hand offering to help you out. You accepted the hand and got out.
"Thank you" you say.
"Welcome" says a voice, you looked up to see who the voice belonged to and you see Remus and started to blush, you turn away and start walking towards the castle, not noticing that your still holding hands with Remus (not that he minds because he's blushing too). Once you got to the entrance of the castle you finally notice that you're still holding Remus' hand. You let go of his hand while looking down so he wouldn't see you blushing.
"Sorry" you mumbled so only Remus heard.
"It's alright I-" he was cut off by Professor McGonagall. "Miss Williams?" (Me: ok I don't know if she was a professor or not while Remus was in school but I'm going to have her as a professor just for the hell of it)
"I got to go, see you later Remus" you said as you walk up to Professor McGonagall, when she looked down at you she spoke in a very serious tone and asked, "Are you Raven Angelina Williams?"
"Yes" you spoke in a quiet voice. "Follow me." You followed her up some stairs and to in front of huge double doors. You looked up in awe. You were so much in a daze that you barely heard the Professor talking to you.
"Miss Williams? MISS WILLIAMS!" professor McGonagall said sternly.
You that snapped out or you daze. "Oh Sorry" you say in an apologetic voice.
"Now that I have your attention, when the first years come I am going to take them in and when they are done being sorted. Headmaster Dippet will announce your arrival and that you are a transfer student, then, I will come and get you. Is that clear?"
"Yes, Professor" you say now that your paying attention. You then heard that chattering of the first years coming up to the step. When they got to the top the stopped talking and followed Professor McGonagall through the huge double doors.
(Hours passed)
'waiting' 'waiting' 'WAITING'
You were so bored and nervous that you had forgotten you had your mini sketch pad in you pocket, but when you had remembered that huge double doors opened to reveal Professor McGonagall. "You can come in now."
You hesitated at first but went anyway. Once you got into the Great Hall you heard people whispering.
"Look, she doesn't have any school robes. Is she too poor to but any?"
"I heard that she's from America, and aren't Americans supposed to be filthy rich or something."
At that point you started to ignore there whispering and just followed the professor to the front of the hall where there was a stool and an old looking hat sitting on-top of it. Then Professor McGonagall picked the hat up and you sat down on the stool and the hat began to talk making you slightly jump.
"Don't be frightened" it said.
"Now lets see…yes, yes, right, but very difficult. You're very cunning and smart perhaps Ravenclaw... No… then where should I put you…oh…"
"What?" you asked in a whisper not even knowing it.
"You have a very special talent that no one else has, but yet, it comes with a price to pay and that's where your friends are needed to help you. Well then better beeeeee….GRYFFINDOR!" it yelled as every in at the supposedly Gryffindor table stood up clapping and cheering. You looked around and spotted Lily and went over to her and sat across from her in between Remus and Sirius. Once you sat down, you had everyone patting you on the back, congratulating you. Then when Dippet stood up and everyone went quiet. He made his speech and then food appeared and the tables. You then grabbed everything you could reach and ate to your hearts content. (A/N: btw you were or are very skinny from lack of food because your father and his girlfriend only gave you one meal a day to last you through the whole day even though it wasn't your choice you got use to eating like that so, you kept on eating like that and now you're just getting use to eating regular sized meals.) Everyone but Lily is starring at you of how much you ate when you were just finishing. And Lily is the only one besides her mom knows why you eat so much now.
(Flashback)
You were getting ready for bed, when you heard a gasp as you were taking your shirt off. You quickly turned around putting you shirt back on and stared at Lily with a saddened expression on your face.
"Ray-Ray what happened to you?" she asked in a worried voice.
"Nothing" you said simply.
"Nothing?…NOTHING!...My god Raven I can see your ribs…"she trails off while breaking down into tears. "And all you say is NOTHING!"
You just stood there looking at the floor of your room saying nothing as a single tear falls down your check while Lily is crying too hysterical to notice.
(End of Flashback)
That day or should I say night you made a promise with Lily to eat normal size meals three times a day, and even still your getting use to it. And from eating so much you didn't feel so well and Lily saw this and got up while saying, "Come with me to the restrooms Ray-Ray."
You nodded and went with Lily noticing that every one you were sitting with was staring at you both as you walked out of the Great Hall. Once you got to the restrooms you immediately ran to a stall not bothering to close it and started throwing-up while Lily held your hair back while looking at you with a worried look on her face. And you didn't stop till dinner was over. Thirty minute later you came out of the stall and washed you hands and face. Then Lily lead you to the Gryffindor common room.
"Password?" the fat lady portrait said.
"Hippogriff" Lily said and the portrait opened to the common room. And in the common room you saw Remus, Sirius, James, and Peter sitting on the couches and in the armchairs. Remus was in and armchair, same with James. Sirius and Peter were on the couch. And Lily went to sit between Sirius and Peter, James got jealous and made Peter move to the Armchair that he was sitting in before. You, however, was just standing there watching all of this and then went to sit on the floor near the armchair Remus is in and leaned against it. After a while you were dozing off listening to Lily and James arguing over something stupid again. Soon, you fell asleep still leaning against the armchair but, you were so tired that you didn't even notice that you started to lean on Remus using his leg that was near you as a pillow. Then Remus looked down at you, seeing that you had indeed fallen asleep and started to blush because you were leaning against him.
"Look Remus is blushing" Peter said.
"Oh dear...well I can't pick her up, and I cant use the levitated spell to bring her to the dormitories, last time I did that she woke up screaming at me to put her down." Lily explained.
"Well she could sleep in our dorm with us." Sirius said in a suggestive tone.
"Yeah what a great idea Padfoot. And where will she sleep in your bed with you." James said with a sarcastic tone.
"She could sleep with Remus in his bed." said Sirius while Remus turned about a thousand shades of red by the suggestion of you sleeping in the same bed as him.
"Ok... Its settled then, Remus?" asked Sirius while looking at him.
"Yeah?" Remus said while still looking at you.
"Umm…" Sirius says while now looking from Remus to you to Remus ECT. "Are you ok with Raven sleeping with you?"
"Yeah I don't mind"
"You really do like her, don't you?"
Remus looks up at Sirius and then looked around and notices that only he, Sirius, and obviously you were the only ones in the common room.
"Yeah" he said answering Sirius' question.
He then picked you up (bridal style) and walked to the boys' dorm and placed you on his bed and pulled the covers over you, and got ready for bed himself and climbed in his bed putting his arm around your waist. Subconsciously you moved closer to him and mumbled something like "don't go". Remus then tightened his grip on you taking a deep breath, breathing in your rose and jasmine scent while falling into a deep sleep himself but before that he whsipered, "don't worry I won't go anywhere Raven ' sigh' ".
