Chapter 7:...
Raven was looking for slamander's blood for her Wiggenweld potion.She wandered around the potion class's shelves,her eyes looking for the damned bottl-"Oh here it is."She giggled,walking back to her seat.
She didn't fail to notice Neville was struggling with his potion,not putting the ingredients in the right order."Might as well blow up the cauldron Longbottom."She mimicked Snape,making Neville jump in his seat.
"G-Geez!Raven you don't go on scaring me like that!"He groaned,"Why are you on this side of the classroom,anyways?"
Raven held up her bottle of salamander's blood,"I was looking for this..anyways,You need to stir anti-clockwise,then you should add the salamander blood.."She smiled assuringly at him,"Thank you my saviour!"Neville smiled."Any time my damsel in distress!"She giggled and walked back to her seat.
Raven finished her potion and started popping by Draco and Neville,to be honest,there was nothing fun to do!She hoped Zoe was in this class but noo!It has to be Gryffindor and Slytherin together.
When 3 hours passed,Snape dismissed the class,Everyone grabbed their books and staff rather quickly and headed outside to their next class.Raven was walking with Astoria Greengrass-who was a pretty great friend actually!-until they got intruppted by Draco and his little gang.
"So You are heading to class?"
"...No I am heading to the Slytherin dorms to sleep-Of course I am,Blondie!Don't play dumb!"Raven rolled her eyes,making Astoria giggle quietly behind her.
Draco rolled his eyes as well,"Just asking.I thought you were going to pass by to get Zoe or something.I wanted to give her a letter Father sent for mw to give to her."
"Excuse my curiousness but,Why didn't he sent it directly to Zoe?"
"My father has an odd trail of thoughts."Draco laughed,making the two girls laugh."I am going to give it to her myself though..Thanks!"
"No problem!!"He walked infront of then both,"Your friendship is weird."
"Astoria,If i am involved in anything,Of course it'll be weird!"
***
"Geez Dad I have two cousins!One was in Gryffindor and the other was in Hufflepuff!"Zoe sighed,taking a peice of her cordon bleu while reading the letter her father sent."And they are a disgrace to the family."Draco reminded her,he earned a glare for that."He will come to terms with it,Zoe!Its going to be alright-Besides if he didn't..You can always come by ours!Grandma wouldn't mind."Neville assured Zoe."Grandma would most likely kick us out and adopt you."
"Your grandma probably hates my bloodline."Zoe shaked her head,"Pfsh It's not your fault you have a crazy aunt-techincally speaking-so she won't hate you."Raven shrugged,making Draco faceplam.
"He will not disown her..hopefully."Draco said,now earning a glare from Raven."And if he did,he'll have to disown me as well."He added.
"Aw!"Zoe clinged into Draco's arm,"I am not letting go ever!I am going to hug your arm until i prevent the blood from circulating!"she grined,"Woah woah what!?"
Neville nearly choked on his juice and Raven was already choking from laughter."Naaah I want you alive."Zoe unclinged frok his arm and read the rest of the letter."Hey!That's Mom's handwriting!"She smiled,"She is saying she doesn't actually care which house I am in as long as i am Happy she is happy!"
"That doesn't sound like Mom.."
"Draco techincally speaking she is a mom!Mothers are like those amazing human beings that care about you and your happiness-Do I seriously have to tell you something you know?"Zoe shaked her head.
"What do we have after lunch anyways?"Raven asked,eating her frensh fries."Transfiguration."Draco answered,sipping his pumkin juice.
"Hmm..Lets meet somewhere after class!"Zoe suggested,"Let's go swimming!"Raven joked,"Hey that's a good idea!But Nah not today.."
"L-Let's just hang out.We don't have to do anything!We could just..talk!!"
"I agree!"
"Same."
"I'll check my schedule."Draco said with a straight face,Zoe blinked at him,"I am kidding!Wow non of you know how to take a joke!"He laughed,Zoe rolled her eyes playfully and got up."I'll see you guys in class!I have to pick up some books from my dorm."
"Bye!!"Raven got up,"So how many minutes do we have left?"She asked,Neville glanced at the clock,"20 minutes."
"Well,You two better speed up your eating process!You are like turtles eating!"
"Raven,I am not sure if you even chew your food!You eat too fast!"
"I do chew my food!"Raven's face went bright red,"I just like eating quickly!"
"But that way you won't enjoy the food's taste,and you might have digestion problems."Draco said,"Fine I'll chew my food properly!"Raven scoffed,then grabbed her bag,"Moving on,I'll go check on Astoria and then head to class."
Both boys nodded.Raven walked over Astoria,chatted with her a bit then walked out of the hall.

"Neville what are you doing here!?"Raven blinked in disbelief at her brother,who was standing just outside door of the slytherin common room.
"I was going to check on you,since we are going to hang out at like..the cliff-"
"Why in the bloody name of merlin will we hang out by the cliff!?"She said,stepping outside the door,closing it behind her.
"Because do you have a better option?"He asked,"Well No!But Don't expect me to stand by the edge!"
"Alright!No standing by the edge!"Neville sighed,shaking his head.Suddenly,a snake appeared on Raven's arm.
"You brought Serp!?"Neville looked at him as if he was the most terrifying creature on earth."Again,He is a grass snake,he isn't venomous."She repeated her words from when she got Serp.
Neville frowned,"If Granny sees him,she might-littrally- run after it with a sword or something!","I already told her abour Serp!She said as long as he isn't dangerous I can keep him."
"But what about Trevor!?He could eat him!"
"Neville,He won't eat Trevor as long as I give him food!"
Neville sighed,"I guess.."
"But you should take care of him,because seriously,How many times did he escape?"Raven said,"I mean you do take good care of him!I just mean-"
"Yeah I get it!"
"I don't."
Both of them laughed,"Raven,you are weeeeird."Neville said,"Oh I know!"She giggled.
When both of them walked out of the castle,They found Draco and Zoe sitting in the courtyard.
"Change of plans!We are going to hang out here because Raven is afraid of hights!"Zoe declared,"actually,I am not afraid of hights,I am just afraid of falling.."Raven shrugged,"..and possibly hights."
"Actually,I am afraid of alot of stuff.One of them is Clowns-"
"Same!With their weird make up-I mean you don't really see their face!You don't know what is hiding behind it!"Zoe sighed,"Then There is the fear of being forgotten and abandoned."
"Aw we will never forget you Raven!"Neville ruffled his sister's hair,"Heh..Thanks Nev..Then-Honestly if I went on i will never shut up."
"Techincally this is how a conversation goes.."Draco grined,"Actually,a conversation goes with people changing the topic from one subject to another."Zoe said,"...but this works too."
They spent the night laughing and talking till Proffessure Mcgonnagle ushered them isnide the castle.
"But Proffessure Mcgonnagle!Tommrow is off!!"Zoe tried to argue,but Proffessure Mcgonnagle didn't budge, and made sure they parted ways to their dorms.
"GOODNIGHT EVERYONE AND THIS WAS ALL!"Raven shouted,making them laugh as they headed to their dorms.
