Another original scene! This one never made it into the final story - it's from when I was considering bringing in Raphael and Lucifer, which as you know was ultimately discarded as a plotline. Just so you know, Raphael's vessel is largely based off the one she has in The Last Archangel [inukagome15].
As a personal headcanon, I always thought Gabriel would be a lot closer to Raphael than to the other archangels.
Disclaimer: I do not own Supernatural or Harry Potter.
"Raphael?"
[Gabriel] was gaping at the girl - his sister, who up until now he'd thought was dead - in disbelief. She was smiling, but almost nervously, like she wasn't sure of their reaction.
"I thought you were dead." Michael's sword was held lax by nir side, and ne was staring as well.
"I could have said the same of both of you," Raphael replied. "I'm inclined to think that Someone intervened."
Gabriel could practically hear the capitals. He also knew who she was talking about.
Michael's sword vanished, and ne raised nir hand to Raphael's shoulder. "I'm glad you're alright," ne said, relief bleeding through nir Grace freely. "I didn't want to think-" Ne broke off, and then ne surprised Gabriel by pulling Raphael into a hug.
Raphael looked surprised, too, but she relaxed into it far more quickly than Gabriel would have expected, releasing [Michael] with a smile more genuine than her first one.
"I'm happy to see you, too," she said, fondness apparent, and turned to face Gabriel.
"What," she said, "No words for your sister?"
Gabriel hugged her too.
He felt Raphael's arms wrap around him, and bent his head into the crook of her shoulder so he could pretend there wasn't anyone else there.
"I thought I was the only one left," Gabriel muttered. Raphael stiffened, and judging by the way Michael's Grace sharpened, someone couldn't keep their ears to themselves.
Raphael was the first to let go. "You'll have to tell me what I've missed," she said. "I know I've missed some things."
"Sure." Gabriel said immediately, ignoring the brief hurt that flashed across Michael's face. "I wouldn't say you've missed that much."
"I'll be the judge of that, thank you." Raphael was still smiling. "It's good to see you again, Gabriel."
"...Yeah. You too." Gabriel glanced around at the hallway they were in, wondering why they hadn't been walked in on yet. "We should probably go somewhere more private."
"Lead the way, then."
I wrote less of this than I originally I thought. I think I lost the notebook with most of this plotline written down. Oh, well.
