Brunette woman:Now,who are two beautiful babies?

Ginger woman:Harry and Raven,of course!The most beautiful babies ever!You two will be best friends!And learn together,eat together...

BW:Cause mischief and havoc together,have sex together*smirks*

GW:Yami!Don't say such things!

Yami:Soooo soorryyy,my dear Lily-kins!But let's face it,it's fun!

Lily:Umm...maybe....*giggles* but....it's also scary...

Yami:Oh,Lils,stop thinking about that!But....You know....after the switch...I really can't feel safe either*putting the baby boy in the crib*I never really trusted Wormtail..I mean...his animagus is a rat...what if he RATS us out!

Lily:*chuckles lightly*You learnt way too many English idioms,Yami....

Yami:*smirks*That's how us,Japanese girls roll!

Lily:I could never doubt you...

Yami:You never should!But...now....I think it'd have been better with Pads...

Lily:Yami,don't say that!He is YOUR husband and HER daddy!You can't do that!

Yami:But you and Prongs are my friends too!I can't let you three die!What would poor Harry think!

Lily:What would poor Raven think?!

Yami:I know Lily...you are right...but...Why Wormtail,of all people?!Why not Moony at least!I trust him with my life!Why not Dumbledore!Or...someone!

Lily:You MUST be strong,Yami!And tonight is Halloween!

Yami:That's right!It's damn Halloween!We could have been out,begging for candies but NOOO we have to shiver in fear cause that Noseless bastard is trying to kill everyone!

Lily:*hugs Yami*It's okay Yami...shhh it's okay....Raven loves you....And Sirius loves you the most and you know it...he would do anything for you...So don't be sad,at least for his sake...

Yami:I could say the same about Harry and James for you....

Lily:I....wanted to thank you for....showing me that not all Slytherins are evil...after what happened with HIM...

Yami:Lils,stop thinking about him.Slytherins are the ones who aim high,but many since there was this bastard,he made everyone fear him,so they HAD to join.Sure,there are psychos out there,like Lestrange,but the Malfoys....I'm assuring you,they are only afraid.They don't want to die.The house is not what defines us,but our hearts.And you Lils.You,James,Moony,Sirius have the heart of lions.I just hope you don't end up like the guy from Braveheart...*shudders*

Lily:*chuckling*WAY too many movies,Yami!

Yami:That's my whole life!Music,books,movies and procrastinating!

Someone suddenly bursted in the room.It was a young man,with glasses.He looked exactly like a chibi Harry,but with brown eyes.I suppose he is James...

James:Lily,I have always loved you,to the moon and back again.I am honored and happy beyond limits to have met you,to have you as my wife,and have Harry as our son.Yami,thank you for being an amazing friend and one of the mischievous group of Marauders.Harry...I'm sorry we could only spend this year together...Raven,you will break hearts,you little gorgeous star...Now girls!He is here!You must protect the kids!I will try to stop him!....I love you!*runs back*

Lily:NO!JAMES!DON'T GO!!*sobbing*

Yami:*barricading the door*Lily!LISTEN TO ME!We MUST do something!For him!For James!And to save our little babies!Regain yourself!

A cry was then heard,followed by a blinding flash of green and an evil laugh.

James Potter had just been killed,and a sobbing Lily Potter was screaming in despair.

Yami:LILY POTTER!GET UP AND HELP ME!

As the brunette girl dragged her ginger friend up,they quickly did some charms on the door,but knew it wouldn't work against the Dark Lord.The real life Boogey man.The girls looked at each other with tears streaming down their cheeks like rivers,and went to sit in front of their babies,on their knees,whispering loving words to the infants they will never again see.

Then the door was destroyed,a low voice demanded for the babies to be given,which of course,was denied,and with 2 flashed of green,the women died protecting their beloved children,leaving them crying,but also,the Dark Lord perished along..........

———————————————————————————————————————————————-

Everything had been so peculiar and weird while staying at Snape's house...it felt so welcoming and nice...heartwarming...something I had never experienced until yesterday...I wonder though when did he even lift me on the bed...I mean...I remember falling asleep on the ground,near the fireplace....*sigh* oh well...

Now,standing in front of Hogwarts Express,Platform 9 3/4,he gave the trunks to a man,letting me only have Lich,my cat,with me.

Snape:Now.You go there and search for a compartment and wait nicely to get to Hogwarts.Behave yourself.And also,don't think for a moment that I will take care of you,or treat you differently than the others.

me:*looks down*Oh...O-okay sir...um....good bye and....thank you so much for everything...Really....I will never forget your kindness...

Snape:Don't mistake duty with kindness.I HAD to do it,I didn't WANT to.Now go.

Nodding sadly,I ran in the train,found an empty compartment and sat,glues to the window.Well..it was nice thinking somebody cared,even for a day...

I quickly took out my iPod and Lord of the Rings book and I started humming Special Death by Mirah (AHS),while reading. (I know about the no-technology rule but I can't imagine living without music....so sorry...)

Suddenly,I the door opened,and I was met with a person who had the same vibrant emerald eyes,and the ginger woman from my dream.Harry Potter.

Harry:H-hey..again...Can I stay here?

me:*nods*of course.

Harry:How are you?

me:Good...I guess....just excited and anxious.And you?

Harry:I guess the same...

me:Isn't it funny though?Just normal kids,and then this weird guy comes,and in a flash,the world is changed radically?

Harry:I suppose yes...At least I don't have to see my aunt,uncle and cousin for a while...*shivers*

me:At least I don't have to return to that bloody orphanage....

We started admiring the view,when the door was opened once again.By a ginger boy.

GB:Excuse me...do you mind...?Everywhere else is full...

me:Sure...

Harry:Oh,sure,not at all*motioning for him to sit down*

The boy then sat down near Harry,giving a half smile.

GB:I'm Ron,by the way.Ron Weasley.

Harry:I'm Harry.Harry Potter.

me:Raven Black

Ron's eyes went wide with shock.Fangirling...?

Ron:S-so,it's true...?I-I mean...you really have the..the...*pointing to his forehead and neck* scar....

Giving a small *oh*,Harry smiled in understanding,as he lifted his fringe,letting the lightning scar to be shown,whilst I revealed the skull scar from my neck.

Ron:*excited*Wicked!

After a short while,the trolley lady came,offering us money.Having no money myself,and Ron having food from his mum,we didn't get anything....but Harry had some golden coins,so...he took everything!? JFC Potter....

Well,can't complain,these things are very good..

Ron got a...rat?!From his pocket,and my kitten tensed up.I hold her close,so she won't do anything bad.He got the wand,wanting to use it on his rat.Poor animal...As he cleared his throat,a cute girl with bushy brown hair came in the picture,asking for a toad.Apparently Neville,its owner,lost him.Not seeing it,Ron said a quick no,but this girl was intrigued by the wand,and asked if we were doing magic.Soooooo Ron did his fail of a spell,and we started chuckling.

girl:Are you sure that's a REAL spell?Now,it's not very good,is it?

me:Definitely not a genuine enchantment...

girl:Of course,I tried some simple ones myself,but they've worked for me.For example*sitting across from Harry*Oculus,Reparo!

Suddenly,his glasses were fixed.Magic is awesome...

Girl:That's better,isn't it?....Holy cricket,you're Harry Potter!And you must be Raven Black!I'm Hermione Granger......and...you are...?

Ron:Ron Weasley.

Hermione:Pleasure.You two better change in your robes.I suppose you'll be arriving soon.Good idea,Raven,for being already dressed.See you later*leaving**returning*You've got dirt on your nose,did you know?Right there.

Then she left.She's fun...I like her already.

At night,the train stopped,and we were greeted by the same big guy called Hagrid,telling us,first years,to follow him.I,Harry and Ron,got in a boat with another boy,feeling enchanted and mesmerized by the breathe-taking view of the castle at night.There were some tentacles shooting out of the Black Lake....could it be the Giant Squid I read about in Hogwarts:A History?

Perhaps.

Going inside,we walked up the stairs,and met an elderly lady dressed in velvety green robes.She looks very wise and strict,but her eyes betray her,letting the motherly look gaze upon the young children.

She told us that we have to be sorted,and about the houses,points and stuff.All the formalities.

She left for a short while,and then a bleached blonde boy started talking.

boy:So it's true then.Harry Potter and Raven Black came to Hogwarts.

Mutterings between everyone started,making me scared and uncomfortable.

boy:This is Crabbe and Goyle.And I am Malfoy.DRACO Malfoy.

Ron then snorted,earning a glare from Draco.

Draco:Think my name is funny,do you?Well I don't need to ask for yours.Red hair and a hand me down robe...You must be a Weasley.Well,soon you will find out that some wizard families are better than others,Potter.Black.You don't want to go around with the wrong sort...I can help you there *extending arms*

Harry:I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself,thanks.

me:I don't need others thinking for me...

Then,the woman returned,making the boy go back to his place.

Then....we went through the huge gates.

All the way to the podium,everything was gorgeous.The floating candles,the chandeliers,the enchanted ceiling....simply everything seemed like a fairy tale(or tail).

woman:Now,when I call your names,you shall come sit on this stool. Abbott,Hannah!

She put an old pointy hat on her head,then the hat suddenly shouted HUFFLEPUFF!

Then.....she shouted for me.Black,Raven!

The hall erupted with whispers and I went to sit on the stool scared and shaking.Then,I started hearing a voice inside my head...I SWEAR I'M NOT INSANE!

No,my girl,don't worry,you aren't insane,no,not yet.But you are particularly difficult,just like your parents.You are locked inside your shell,but if something happens and it's broken,you are ruthless and merciless indeed,the true wrath of a storm.But also,loving,kind and protective of those close to you.Great mind,shrewd,a hidden mischief,and a huge potential,staying hidden there...But where to put you...Gryffindor or Slytherin,which one appeals to you most,or rather said,who are you most appealing for.Thirst for knowledge and power,will to succeed in life,courage,plenty of it,but more of a tactical,organized mind,rather than a straight-forward person.You don't rush,but think before you act....I know just where to put you....just like your mother,better be....SLYTHERIN!

The table erupted into rounds of cheerings and applauds,the old person at the teachers' staff got up and started clapping,and....Professor Snape's eyes glinted with a proud look?What is this..

Some Slytherins started yelling "We got Black!We got Black!",while jumping and cheering happily.What the...

Suddenly,I'm being greeted by the prefects and head boy and girl,saluted by a ghost and I'm being patted on the back by Draco.

Draco:How are you?

me:*whispers*This is too much for me...Make them stop....or I'm going to faint here...

Draco:Stop what?

me:Too.Much.Attention.

Draco:Isn't attention nice?

me:Not when you feel like the world is pressuring you.

Draco:Hmm...Don't worry.I can handle it.

Then,he shouted at the Slytherins disturbing the peace to shut up,smirking with a Superior smirk.

Draco:All done,princess.

me:Th-thanks...

Then,the rest of the ceremony went smoothly.

Susan Bones-Hufflepuff

Terry Boot-Ravenclaw

Mandy Brocklehurst-Ravenclaw

Lavender Brown-Gryffindor

Millicent Bullstrode-Slytherin

Justin Finch-Fletchley-Hufflepuff

Seamus Finnigan-Gryffindor

Hermione Granger-Gryffindor

Neville Longbottom-Gryffindor

Morag MacDougal-Slytherin

then Malfoy Crabbe,Goyle,Moon,Nott,Parkinson,Patil,Patil,Perks,Sally-Ann,then again,at Harry's name,the same whispers erupted.Dean Thomas,Lisa Tupid,Ron Weasley and Blaise Zabini.

Then,the headmaster gave a short...rather queer speech,as he let us eat.Damn...this is actual food....real,high quality food....

Staring at it,not knowing where to begin with,I get a little chicken meant with some mashed potatoes and enjoy the extravagant meal.Never have I ever eaten something so delicious....

Draco:You look extasic,Black.Never eaten before or what?

me:I didn't grow up with a family,remember?I suppose you know,since everyone else seems to know more about myself than I do...

Draco:Perhaps...

After the meal was over,we were lead by the prefects to the dungeons,where the portrait of Salazar Slytherin was,and said "Pureblood",this particular word being the password.What was inside,a green,luxurious living room,noble like,made me feel unworthy of it.Do I really deserve to learn in this kind of noble environment?Perhaps not...but even so...I have to make these 7 years worth every single second.

Going up the stairs,I see I'm sharing the room with a girl called Jessie Moon and Emma Perks.I hope we can get along....

Going inside,I see my trunk sitting casually near the bed,which lay near the window,having the extraordinary Black Lake view.It was a tad cold,but bearable,so I can sleep in shorts and a Tshirt...

After I arrange everything,and sit in bed,to relax and read some more,while listening to music,I notice the door opening and a short blonde with dark brown eyes and a chestnut haired girl with hazelnut eyes came in the room,smiling to each other.They must be Jessie and Emma.

Blondie:Hi!You must be Raven!It's nice to meet you! I am Jessie,and this is my friend,Emma!We hope we can be decent friends*smiling*

me:N-nice to meet you...And yeah...I hope we can be friends...

Emma:*yawning*Dayum,am I tired!Let's go to sleep,shall we?Unpacking for tomorrow,when we aren't as tired!

Jessie:Agree!*jumps on the bed*Ayayayaaya.....so sooofttttt!I'm feeling like a princess....

Emma:You should!We all should!We are princess-like gorgeous!

Jessie:*blushing faintly*oH,stop it,you!

I put the blanket up,to cover my face,so I my embarrassed face wouldn't be seen,but then I heard some giggles and "aawwweee"s

Jessie:Look at her!She's so adorable!

Emma:Adorable?!She's GORGEOUS! She will surely be a heartbreaker!

Jessie:Frost eyes

Emma:And Shadow hair

Jessie:Frost heart

Emma:And Shadow soul.

me:*confused**hiding my face in my hands*S-stop that...

Emma:Little Tsundere,I'm telling you!

me:Wh-what?

Jessie:Don't you watch anime?

me:I...didn't have a TV back at the orphanage...sorry....

Jessie:*gasps*Then we TOTALLY have to introduce you to...

Emma:The magical world of...

Jessie+Emma:HETALIA!!!

me:Ermh....Okay...but tomorrow maybe...I'm tired now...

Agreeing to get to know each other next time,we went to to sleep.Staring up at the green veil hanging above my head,I kept thinking-Did my mum sleep in the same bed as I did?Was she as happy as I am today,when she first step inside this very castle and house?Was I sorted correctly?Do I really belong here?Among these other Slytherins?Or...Am I really like my mum?....Will I ever even know...?
