Prowling Around The Dungeon

[Raven]

Raven sighed. "The prefects should be coming around this area any minute now. Best go to your common room." She turned and went to sit on the steps.

Leah's mouth dropped open.  *House isn't everything that matters! And I happen to have a Slytherin friend too! And Ravenclaw! And I most certainly am not a traitor!*  She said, supporting Jackie.  *Thank you for that advice, but I want to know what that flame is.  Do you have any idea?*

[Raven]

Raven shook her head. "It's a light so we don't run into the wall. It's dark down here." Raven quickly morphed into her leopard form and laid down on the floor under the flame.

[Ginny Weasly]

"And what is going on here?" Ginny leaned against the wall, having just rounded the corner. She folded her arms, her eyebrows raised in false amusement.

"An argument...or a slumber party?" She frowned then, shaking her head as she looked at the Jackie and Jessie. And then at the animagi leopard. She'd heard the last few words of the argument, and wasn't very happy.
Her bright red hair was pulled back, standing out even in the green flame. She wore jeans and a t-shirt instead of her teachers robes and looked very at ease.
And slightly upset.

"Leah, Jackie, you two know better than to be wandering around down here." She scolded them gently. It wasn't the real issue here, but it was a start.

[Raven]

The leopard looked up at Ginny, her eyes shining brightly with the flame. She was out of her common room in the first place because she had trouble sleeping at night. Her tail swished a little. She could tell Ginny wasn't happy. Raven didn't really care.

Jackie turned around and came to face Ginny.  She stopped midsentence, "Sorry Ginny."  She said apologetically, but there was still a hint of anger in her voice from the argument about houses.

[Raven]

Raven stood up and slowly began walking up the steps to the common room. Her mother had always taught her that Slytherins never befriended Gryffindors. That they were rivals and would be traitors if they befriended them. Raven couldn't be a traitor. Her mother told her just before she boarded the train to Hogwarts...

"Now behave yourself at school. You know what the punishment is if I receive a letter saying that you have gotten into trouble." Said Grace.

"And you know better than to be friends with a Gryffindor, right?" Asked Debbie.
Raven shook her head. "Why is it so bad?" She asked them.

Grace's eyes became dark. "If you become friends with a Gryffindor, you will be a traitor and removed from our family name. I've given you everything you could possibly ask for, so I ask you stay loyal to our family law."

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny turned her eyes to Raven, frowning deeply. She spoke to Jackie though, "Why are you down here?"

[Lola_La_Fringe7]

"I followed Leah."  She said, somewhat distracted by Raven who was starting to walk away.

[Raven]

Soon making it to the top step, Raven changed yet again into her normal self. She was slightly angered. Of course she couldn't go for a walk without there being a commotion. If Jackie had been able to control her powers, this arguement may not have happened.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny kept her eyes on Raven's back, but continued speaking to Jackie.
Calmly she spoke, quietly, "You followed her? For what reason? Neither of you have classes down here, and neither of you have any business down here."

She paused, "Detention, both of you. Tomorrow night, understood?"
She said nothing to Raven. The girl hadn't done anything wrong, actually.

[Lola_La_Fringe7]

"Yes, Ginny."  Jackie said, scuffling her feet on the ground.  Then she started back up to the commonroom.

Stacey, who had suddelny felt as if she had been forgotten, changed into her snow leopard form and walked up to Raven` side. She had seen her wondering the halls at night before as she had often done the same. Stacey gave a soft growl toward Raven and then walked toward the others. She looked toward them apologetically, she hadn`t known that they were in her common-room, she hadn`t really taken notice of any body really. She then directed her attention back to Raven.

[Raven]

Raven looked down at Stacy. She didn't speak a word. She didn't feel like speaking until she was in the common room. She walked up to the door and said the password quietly and clearly and walked in. The room was dark with another green light on the wall to guide those who had to awaken to use the restrooms.

[potter_fan122]

Stacy, getting a little agitated, followed Raven into the common room. Stacy didn`t belong to Slytherin, but often stole into different houses. Stacy was curious to see what Raven would say or do.
