Ah, Hopefully this chapter will be as good as the last!

I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters. Though I do claim Raven Michelle (including her Valkyrie side). While Diego Owens is owned by My partner in crime, Chemi ~

Raven sat up in one quick motion, breathing heavily, shaking, and covered in sweat. "Wh-what?" she looked around her room, she sighed but then she noticed the window…it didn't have the same view as her window did. She got up to go look at it, passing the dresser she got a glimpse of her reflection out of the corner of her eye.

"OH MY GODS! What? Why?" she cried in confusion, "Nooooooooo!!"

She ran out of the room, letting her body transform into her "True Form". Not noticing she almost ran right over someone. But she made no efforts to stop until she got to a dead end in the hall. She pounded her fist into it, "WHY ODIN?!?! WHY ME?!" but she got no reply. Sliding down the wall while wrapping her arms around her knees and letting her wings cover her for warmth, she started to cry.

Diego felt like an adventure tonight down in the dungeons, so he had slipped out of the Gryffindor tower and lead himself to the dungeon. He had a close call when Professor McGonagall had almost noticed him, but he quickly hid himself in the shadow of a suit of armor. He watched her past carrying what looked like a student.

"Oh this could be interesting!" he noted in his mind, his eye sparkled with curiosity, much like Dumbledore's did but for a different reason. He made note of where she went, while staying in his spot. She stopped at a picture and mumbled something he couldn't hear, then stepped into it. Sighing in frustration he sat himself down in the shadow and waited for her to leave, so he could figure out what she was doing. Not long after he sat down, McGonagall had stepped out and the portrait had closed behind her. When she was out of sight he quickly got up and ran over to the portrait but was almost knocked over in the process, by a female with white wings with blood red tipped feathers. She ran down the hall and disappeared around the corner.

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?!" he stood staring for a minute, "Oh My God I have to follow!!" then he started to run down the hall almost falling over when he turned the corner.

After a bit of walking/running he started to think he had gotten himself lost, until he heard the faint sound of crying. Quietly he followed it till the female who had almost ran him over can into view. Her hair was long and a pretty shade of silver ish blue. Her eyes were unseen, covered by a helmet with wings on the sides. He couldn't see her outfit due to her wings were covering the rest of her. Standing there silently he wondered if he should leave her alone, but she looked so sad. So he sat down facing her, he somehow knew that she knew he was there. "Uhm I'm not good with girls crying… but if you need someone to talk to… I'll listen?"

Her head looked to his direction, her wings didn't move as she took off her helmet and placed it on the floor. Her eyes were so light in color it seem to make her appear to be blind . "I'm Freyja, Valkyrie of Valhalla, Guardian of Midgard, Chooser of Slain Souls, and Servant of Odin" She said looking him in the eye, but then she let her eyes fall to the ground, "Or at least I was…"

His first thought when she said "Valkyrie" was to jump on her with tons of questions, but he thought better of it and just settled with, "Why aren't you now?"

"Valkyries are not to leave Valhalla unless they are in their "True Form" she unfolded her wings, referring to herself when she said true form, "The only time a Valkyrie is in there human form is when their powers are being stripped away. Which has never happened before until me…"

She stood up, giving him a look as if she wanted him to follow, so he did. She lead him back to the portrait where McGonagall came out of.

"Valkyrie Silmeria, it is nice to see someone I can trust here." Freyja said to the portrait, who seemed quite shocked.

"Valkyrie Freyja?! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in Valhalla?! "

"No, I'm no longer wanted in Valhalla…if you wouldn't mind could you let me in?" she replied with sadness dripping from every word.

It seemed that Valkyrie Silmeria understood what she meant by "no longer wanted" and she sung herself open to let them in.

Diego's eyes widen at the sight of her room, it was fit for a goddess, or in this case a Valkyrie. She went over to a chair and sat down conjured up some tea and motioned for him to sit in the one across from her, which he did. She looked him over very unnoticeably, he had tan ish brown skin and bright hazel eyes. He also adorned these weird metal things in his bottom lip and in his right eyebrow, while his left one had a scar above it. His hair was short and light auburn in color.

"So, you know who I am, but I know nothing of you, or where I am…" she took a sip of her tea after that was said. "Would you like some tea?"

Diego shook his head, tea wasn't his thing, "You're at Hogwarts, school for Witchcraft and Wizardry, and my name is Diego Owens 7th year Gryffindor."

She nodded that she understood, taking another sip of tea.

"It seems morning is dawning, maybe you should get back to where you were, or you might get into trouble, or something?" Freyja said placing her cup down.

"Yeah I should but one more thing…Can I touch your wings?!" he said literally jumping from the chair.

"Uh….I guess, but hang on a second." she plucked a feather from one of her wings and handed it to him. "If you still want you can touch my wings, but also you have that to keep with you. Oh, one more thing, tell no one about me, is that clear, Diego?"

He nodded, running out of the room, forgetting about her wings, and up to his dorm.
