Secrets

Days later Ravenna found Ron and Hermione arguing in the drawing room of Grimmauld Place. Harry was off on shopping duty and Ravenna had been cleaning the house from top to bottom to make it a little more habitable for the four of them.

"You knew! You knew all about the events in Harry's life that Ravenna was in when we were there and you never told me!" Hermione shouted, brandishing a finger at Ron.

"I knew about some of them- not all of them and she swore me to secrecy for his sake and our own." Ron shouted back.

"You could have told me- what else have you lied to me about?" Hermione retorted angrily.

"Nothing..." Ron began and Hermione growled and began turning away but Ron grabbed her cheeks and made her face him.

"I haven't lied about anything else, Hermione. Especially the part about he much I love you, you silly old thing." Ron said in a growl and as Hermione opened her mouth to retort, he kissed her- silencing all answers she would have given. Ravenna smiled to herself and walked away towards the kitchen. As she entered she gasped as she saw Harry and Remus sat there. She drew her wand.

"My greatest fear?" She asked Remus, who had drawn his wand.

"Failing to protect Harry." He said and Ravenna nodded.

"The first Christmas present, Harry Potter ever received?" She asked Harry.

"A toy broomstick that flew." He said and Ravenna lowered her wand.

"The first potion you brewed for mr?" Remus asked, his wand still raised.

"Wolfsbane- I was 11, the youngest witch in history to do so." Ravenna answered and the pair lowered their wands before hugging each other.

"Hello. Raven."

"Hello uncle Remus. What are you doing here?" Ravenna said as they drew apart and she waved her wand, setting the kettle onto boil on the stove.

"Checking on you, how's...?" Remus asked indicating her necklace.

"Sorting itself." She replied airily keeping her secret to herself. She feared the wrath it would display when the time only hoped that she would be able to control it when the time came. They spoke of many things during Remus' visit and once he'd gone, Ravenna took her leave. Harry saw her to the front door accompanied by Ron and Hermione who both hugged her tightly.

Harry hugged her last and for the longest time. "Stay safe, Raven. Let me know you get back to the burrow okay." He asked her as he hugged her.

"I will, Harry. Don't worry about me. You, be safe. If you need me, call and I shall come."

"Got it. I love you, family." He whispered with a sad smile as he kissed her cheek.

"I love you too, Harry. Stay safe." She kissed his forehead in a motherly sort of way before she opened the door and apparated on the front step to the burrow. She paused as she walked up the hill from Ottery St Catchpole to the Burrow and looked out over the valley and sighed, her hand wrapping around her locket.

She prayed, silently to Merlin, that he would protect her and aide her in controlling her darkest secret. The origins of her magic- the darkest version of herself who was her own personal secret.
