The tree's were only a blur as Raven ran through the forest. A mixture of a beautiful green and a light brown. Her ears were perked, listening intently to the sounds all around her. She could hear the birds chirping, the squirrels playing, and the sound of the wind hitting the tree branches. She slowed down her pace and decided to walk when she exited the forest.
She could use a drink.
She walked slowly over to the lake, trying to keep her spotted self down low to the ground to be invisable to anyone else around. So far, there wasn't a single person near by. Raven slowly laid her head down into the water and lapped the water into her mouth with her tounge. The cool water felt refreshing. She backed up a little bit and stared into the lake. She rolled over on her side to sunbathe and closed her eyes.
Dylan was in dog form and he was just out walking around. He heard a slight nosie in the wind. His head wipped around and he saw her just laying there. He stood there and then just started to walk again. He new that it was a newbie. He hoped she wasn't like the other ones that thought they were everything because they were now going to Hogwarts. To him it was just a school nothing more. Nothing fancy. He walked right on past her without looking back.
Raven's ears perked up again. She lifted her head and sniffed the air.
The scent of a dog..
Her tail swished and thumped against the ground before she sat up, looking in the direction of the canine. Her eyes had become little slits in her blue eyes.
He then changed back. He got up and started to walk around the grounds of the forest. He saw a tall tree branch and he took off at full speed and he jumped up and grabed the branch and swung on it.
He loved being a werewolf
Raven curiously walked into the forest. She watched as Dylan swung back and forth on the tree's. Her head shifted right and left everytime he moved, as if he was her prey. She crouched down low, her tail swishing lightly behind her.
He jumped down and looked over at her. "Raven is the name??"he asked her.
He heard about the new girl at Hogwarts.
Raven quickly morphed into her human form, wearing a green and black t-shirt and black shorts with her hair straightened. "Indeed it is." She replied.
He looked at her, and nodded. "I am Dylan."he said to her.
"It is getting late. You better get back to the school."he said to her.
"I like the late hours." Raven said to him.
He looked at her and shruged. "Okay whatever, you can get detention, or expled."he said to her and walked right past her.
Raven laughed. "Well well well. Someone is grouchy today. Is it your time of the month?" She asked, sensing he was a werewolf.
"No is it yours?"he said to her.
Billie had been out late and she heard two people talking. *Dylan and I don't know the other voice* she said and skipped to where they were. "Heya" she said to them she then looked at the girl. "Hi I'm Billie Jones" she said.
Dylan looked over and saw Billie. He went up to her and hugged her. "Hey."he said to her.
Billie smiled "Hey" she said. "So who are you?" Billie asked nicely.
Raven smirked. "You're a clever one then." She said to Dylan. She looked at Billie. "I'm Raven Bravehart." She said to her.
Dylan wanted so bad to flick her off but didn't. He looked at Billie then back at Raven.
"Raven you really need to get back to the head grounds."he said to her
Mira had been following Billie in the woods waiting for the right time to jump out and scare her, but Billie came in to the group of people too soon and Mira came out of hiding disappointed she couldn't scare Billie. "So, uh, hi everyone." She said a little akwardly. She didn't knoe the boy in the tree or the girl next to him. "I'm Mira." She said. "And you are?" She said to the girl.
"Nice to meet you Raven" Billie said smiling but could tell Dylan didn't like Raven to much. "Hey Mira" she said smiling. "Why were you following me" she asked.
"Raven Bravehart." She repeated again. Raven looked at Dylan. "And why do I need to get to the grounds?" She asked.
He looked at her, "Fuc....."he about said. He looked at her and put on a fake smile. "you don't have to, and I speak my mind so this is what i am going to say. You are a spoiled little brat."he said to her.
Raven looked at him. "Excuse me. You don't know a thing about me, so how could you even state that fact?"
Billie watched them. "um can't we just all get along" she asked.
"Dylan, didn't you just meet Raven? If so then you really can't be so quick to make such a character judgement. Just because she won't do what you tell her to, that doesn't make her a brat. It just makes you bossy." Jackie said.
"Yeah it does" Billie agreed. "I mean she should be able to do what she wants..."
Raven looked at Billie, then Mira and Dylan.
"Plus theres nothing out there that would hurt her" she said.
"Seeing as I'm a leopard..." Raven responded.
"And seeing that I am a werewolf."he said then turned around and left without saying good bye to anyone.
Billie smiled at Raven. "Their are things out there that can rip a leopard in pieces within minutes" she said.
"Geez that kid is rude." Raven said, referring to Dylan.
"Yeah he can be sometimes" She said.
"I take it your in Gryffindor?" Raven asked Billie.
Billie nodded. "Sadly" she said.
Raven was actually surprised with Billie's response. "Sadly?" She repeated.
KeKe had just been out walking around that day and she saw Dylan walk by.
"Er, hello. Goodbye."she said to him and walked off.
Dylan didn't answer her.
KeKe saw Billie and smiled. She ran up to her really really fast then jumped on her back..
"Hey Billie...."she said with a laugh.
Raven just eyed sat there against a tall tree.
Well this is fun She thought.
She looked over and saw Raven. She had heard about her. "Hello I am KeKe Evans. My brother is Dylan..and he is stupid and a jerk"she said to her and laughed.
Raven gave a small wave. "So why is it sad you're a Gryffindor?" She asked Biilie.
Mira looked at Billie for a while. She allways thought it was a bit of a downer being in Gryffindor. You always had some sort of enemy.
"Well people in Gryffindor aren't intrested in what I am.... I think the Sorting Hat put me in the wrong house" she said. Billie felt Keke jump on her and she spin in a circle really fast then stopped suddenly.
KeKe just stood there and then waved at Billie, "Heya."she said to her and smiled with a laugh.
"Hey" she said smiling.
She was still wving, "Ok im done."
"Okay" she said laughing and looked at Raven and Mira.
She saw Mira there and she smiled, "Mira!!!!"she said and hugged her.
"Ok I am wayy to hyper."she said.
"Why don't you ask the headmaster to put the sorting hat on your head then?" Raven asked. She wasn't really mean to her for some reason.
"I told him I wasn't meant to be in Gryffindor and he laughed and said the Sorting Hat has its ways" Billie said. "I didn't get it.
"People change. Even the sorting hat cant tell the future. You could be a ravenclaw for all we know." Raven said, looking a leaf.
"I wouldn't want to be in Ravenclaw, no offense if your in Ravenclaw" she said
Raven laughed. "Heh, I'm a Slytherin."
"This is odd I guess, I Gryffindor wanting to be a Slytherin... that can't be normal" she said smiling.
Raven was actually surprised a Gryffindor would want to be in Slytherin. She slowly stood up and dusted off her clothes before looking at Billie. "Maybe we dont need the headmaster for the hat."
"I don't think we do, but then the teachers would go crazy prolly" Billie said.
"If you want to find out, I can get the hat." Raven told her.
"I prolly wouldn't help anything" she said.
She looked around.
"It is in his office, on the top self. Headmaster is gone for one day. We had our Quidditch meeting in his office."she said to them.
"So are we going to Hi-jack the sorting hat? Cuz count me out! I'm allready in enough trouble..." MIra said.
"Same here. I have a detention."she said to them.
"If you really want to do that to found out what house I really belong in" She said.
Raven shrugged. "I don't really care. You want it, I'll be nice and get it. If you don't, I'm out."
"I know I should be in Slytherin" she said. "So I would rather not get kicked out of school and not be in a house" she said
"Ah. Not a risk taker, eh?" Raven said with a smirk.
Stacey was a snow leopard, crouching and running after a huge butterfly. She had heard voices, some she knew. She prowled over to where she heard the voices, she crouched and acted as if to pounce.
"I like risks I jus would rather not do that" Billie said. "But if you want to we can I guess" she said smiling. Billie heard Stacey near by and looked over at ehr then smiled.
Stacey playfully pounced in the center of the group and changed into herself, and laughed. "Hi, guys."
Billie smiled. "Hey Stacey how are you doing?" she asked.
"I was just chasing the HUGE butterfly, it`s so pretty today."
"Fun did you catch it?" she asked
"I was just chasing it, not catch it."
Raven shrugged. "I guess I'll be off. Too many Gryffindors here."
Stacey didn`t like it when people acted like that, she had frinds from all of the houses, and she didn`t like it when people acted mean or different to other house members.
Alex saw Billie and waved hi. "Hey Billie and you guys are?" He asked the two other girls.
"I`m Stacey."
"Raven." She said simply, and started walking off. She sighed. People didn't get it. She could tell what Stacy thought, well...for the most part, by her facial expressions. Everyone thought Raven was mean. That she hated everyone and everything that wasn't Slytherin or like her. But they didn't know her... They didn't know how she was raised or what she was taught.
Stacey watched Raven walk away, she looked upset. Stacey could tell people`s emothion pretty well, but Raven was a little harder. She thought about how she thought Raven felt.
Billie looked at Alex and smiled. "Hey" she said happily. Billie watched Raven start to walk off and she looked at Alex. "I'm gonna go" she said. "Bye" she said and walked after Raven. "Raven waited up" she yelled as soon as she was close enough to her.
Hearing Billie's voice, Raven stopped and turned around. "What?" She asked.
Billie ran up to her. "Hey" she said. "You okay?" she asked.
Stacey slowly followed Billie. "Hey, Raven are you ok?" If Stacey had been a cat at that time, her ears would have been flat on her head. She felt ashamed.
Raven looked at them, putting her thoughts behind her.
"Why wouldn't I be Okay?" She asked?
Stacey`s eyes turned red, she was trying to help Raven, but she was being stuborn.
Seeing Stacey's eyes, Raven couldn't help but to smirk. Perhaps she was stubborn, but she didn't mind.
Billie looked at them. "I just wanted to make sure you were okay" she said.
Stacey made her yes turn black so no one could tell what she was feeling. Stacey looked at Billie.
Raven looked at Billie. "Well thanks." She said quietly. "I'm fine."
Billie mumbled somthing to herself that sounded like 'whatever'. "Okay if your sure" she said looking at Raven.
Stacey was still angry, Raven didn`t appologize to her, and she wasn`t acting very nice either.
Billie looked over at Stacey and felt the anger from her.
((can I join this....?))
(I don't mind..)
((okay now where are you!?))
(well I'm not to sure)
(Forest ish?)
Raven looked at Billie and Stacey once again. Without a word, she turned and started walking.
Billie slightly rolled her eyes and followed Raven.
Stacey sighed heavily and followed Billie.
"So where you going?" Billie asked Raven
"Who knows?" Raven said mysteriously. She sighed. "This place lacks adventure.."
"Sometimes something exciting happens" she said.
((Anybody know if it was Jackie or Mira here???))
(Go look i'm to lazy to look!!)
Mira had turned into her anigmus form, a golden retriever, whom she had named Angel. She ran to catch up to the group. She turned back into Mira, "Hey Raven, I don't want to be mean or anything, but what do you have against other houses, or people who are friends with people in other houses? If anything, its not like we're traitors to our house. We could only be those if we purposly betray our house." Mira inquired. "You don't have to answer." She added, thinking to herself. *Ugh I wish Jackie was here! She can read people's faces so well!*
Billie listened Mira and looked around then looked at Raven. Billie didn't say anything but just stood there and looked away.
"Why does it matter to you?" Raven responded with a question of her own. She kept a bored expression on her face.
Billie just stod there wondering if she should say anything.
Alex was officially bored of teasing the first years. He thought about what he should do so he said to himself. "Take me to Billie!" Poof He landed right next to Billie and a few other people. "Nice I'm bored and here's a party!!" He said excitedly.
Billie smiled. "Actually.." Billie started. "Its kinda confusing becasue Raven with th epeople and Mira with the RAven and I'm just here" she said slighly confusingly.
"What about me?" Stacey said, catching up to Billie and Alex.
Billie thought about it. "And Stacey and me are jsut hear trying to make sure everything is okay"
"You could say that." Stacey said coldly.

"Why does it matter to you?" Raven responded with a question of her own. She kept a bored expression on her face.
"Why wouldn't it matter?" Mira retorted with the same expression. "I just don't see the big drama between Slytherins and Gryffindors. Its as if some Slytherins think they're better than everyone else. I'm not saying you're like that though. Some are, just some. Just like some Gryffindors aren't goody two shoes. Take my cousin for example, Jackie. She's in detention at least once a week because of... well, various things... but she's a Gryffindor true and true. And when I questioned you you diddn't snap back threatening to use Crucio or do something else stupid. As some other Slytherins have done. Not mentioning names..." Mira finished. Mira wasn't the kind of person to stop digging until she got an answer. Sometimes friends compared her to a journalist.
Raven looked away at Mira and started walking. "You don't get it." She mumbled.
"Maybe I don't, but I want to 'get it'." Mira replied still standing there.
Stacey heard the comotion and turned around. "Raven, Mira, can we please stop? Everyone knows about the house rivalry, so let`s just drop it."
Mira sighed and folded her arms turning into Angel. Angel let out a low growl and sat on the ground.

Mira sighed and folded her arms turning into Angel. Angel let out a low growl and sat on the ground.
((i`m not sure you really know what an animagus is, an animagus is when a person changes into an animal, so you are the dog, you cant be both at the same time.))
((Yes, Mira turned into the dog Angel then her anigmus form sat down and growled.))
((lol, ok))
Raven sighed. "If I befriend a Gryffindor, I'm a traitor. A traitor to my family...my house...my blood. I will be banished. I will have nothing." She looked at the ground, her hair falling gently to the side of her face so nobody would see her eyes fill with tears.
Stacey stood next to Raven. "Listen, it doesn`t matter what anybody thinks, you will have something. You`ll have real friends, and real people that care about you. If someone doesn`t like you because of who you`re friends with, that`s their problem."
Raven turned to look at Stacey, anger in her crystal blue eyes.
"If your parents threatened to leave you, you would do as they ask rather than rebel against them, wouldn't you? OR if they threatened to make your life a living hell?" She said those last two words slowly and quietly so as to get to the point. "Sure it sounds simple. Like I could just easily defy them. But I can't. For Reasons." Raven clinched her fist tightly then let it relax.
Stacey stood and walked away, she sat on a stump about 25 feet away. She had tears in her eyes.
"That's what I thought." Raven said coldly. She sat down on a rock that was next to her. She felt ill. She usually got sick whenever she got truly upset. She put her hand on her forehead and closed her eyes, now getting a migrane.
Stacey`s eyes were a deep scarlet, she could feel her wand in her sleeve. Raven didn`t know.
Raven felt her anger rise even more. A Gryffindor crying over her problems? The thought made her mad. She looked at Stacey. She could see her eyes were Scarlett. "So now you're mad?" She said, chuckling. She actually found the change in emotions humorous for some reason.
Stacey stood quickly and took out her wand while Raven was laughing. "Stupefy!" She yelled. Raven didn`t get it at all.
Raven's eyes widened. She dove off of the rock, the spell going through her hair as she hit the hard ground. She looked at Stacey, still on the ground. "So that's how you want to play?" She said, her eyes flaming with fury. She pulled her wand from her pocket, grasping it with a very firm grip and pointed it at her.
"Flipendo!" She yelled, a small green beam of light zoomed out of her wand, aiming torward Stacey. (Knocks opponent backward by the way.)
Billie looked at them and grabbed her wand and pointed it at Raven "Finite Incantatum" She yelled so that the spell would stop. The she pointed her wand at Raven and shouted "Petrificus Totalus" She said putting a full body bind on her. "STOP" she screamed.
Mira had turned back to her human form and pointed her wand also at Stacey. "Petrificus Totalus!" She said putting a body bind on Stacey too. "Do you have any idea how stupid you're both being? Stacey, maybe Raven does have reason, more than you understand, to not defy her parents. Its hard! I would know!" Mira said a bit angrily as memories shot through her head like bullets. "And Raven, if I were Stacey, I'd be a bit pissed off too at the way you snapped back! Now can we just get along?" Mira finished keeping her wand up.
Raven glared at Mira and Billie, wanting to just scream the "f word" at them all. "Let me go. Now." She said darkly.
"Only if you don't cast anymore spells" She said. Billie didn't want anyone getting hurt.
((Wow we can get intense... ;D :P))
(oh yea you kno it!! tehe)
((Intensity is my game. 8) ))
Raven looked at Stacey. "I was defending myself. She cursed me first. Would you rather I sit there, defenseless while she attacked me again?" She felt her wand in her hand. "Relashio." She whispered, breaking free of the bind. She stood up, her muscles sore from the binding. She then walked up to Stacey, bending down so only she could hear her. "Let's just say you're lucky I didn't get drastic." She muttered. Raven slowly stood up, wincing from her aching muscles.
Stacey glared at Raven and she took the body bind off. Stacey had never lost a duel before, but she wasn`t going to try and curse Raven again, not right now.
Mira sighed looking at the two like they were little girls. "Ugh. I need a swim." She said exhasted.
Billie just stood there. She was angry with everyone. "Why can't you two just get along, or just fight when I'm not around" she said.
'Fine with me!' Stacey thought to herself, but after making sure her mind was blocked.
Raven glared at Billie, wanting to snap back, but held her composure.
Stacey looked at Raven, Billie and every one else. She just stood there.
"Now..." Raven began quietly, her hands shaking with frustration. "Is there anything else you would like to say or do to me before I leave?" She said. If anyone were to hex her now, they would certainly regret it.
Stacey`s hand twitched, the hand holding her wand. She didn`t mean to, it was a muscle reaction, but red sparks shot out of the tip of the wand.
Raven laughed. Surely if Stacey wanted to attack, she'd actually use a real spell. "I see..." She said, snickering at Stacey's sparks and had begun to walk towards the lake.
Stacey watched Raven walk away, staring at her with red eyes. Stacey wanted to hex Raven so badly, but Billie wouldn`t let her.
Billie read Staceys mind. "Mess with her well her back is turned, I will not be the one that will carries your body up to the castle" Billie said in a monatone.
Stacey glared at Billie. Stacey felt that she could take anyone down right now, she was that mad.
Billie smiled slightly to herself. She knew she could take Stacey easily. With or without a wand. Billie sighed and looked around.
Raven walked toward the lake. Her steps hard and off beat. She felt so frustrated. She couldn't quite remember a time that she felt this angry. Grasping her wand tightly, Raven looked behind her. If Stacey were to hex her from behind, Raven would have to be brutal. Only weak wizards and witches attack from behind.
Stacey was still with the group pacing back and forth, trying to calm down for Billie. But she was just way to mad. More than once a thin, gold rope came out of the tip of her wand, which has held tightly in her hand, by mistake.
Billie looked at Stacey. "I'm gonna go I'll be back later" She said and with that walked into the forest.
Stacey watched Billie leave. Then she morphed into a snow leopard and began pacing again. She went over to a rock and scratched it, leaving deep marks in it.
Raven sat down on her knee's beside the lake shore. She couldn't help but to stare into the water. Within the blink of an eye, she has turned into her leopard form, sitting in the same pose, but with her feet on the ground. She growled, her eyes turning into slits as she stared at the reflection. She still seen her human self. Raven roared loudly and swiped at the water, making waves and the water rippling. Her reflection...a leopard.
The snow leopard started to climb one of the taller trees around her. When she got to the top, she found a branch where she could sit, and she turned into Stacey. Stacey had always loved stars, so she thought they might calm her down a little. She stared at he different comstelations.
Mira had walked away back toward the school, this was getting to be a bit much drama for her.
------------------------------------
As soon as Raven had slashed the water there was a muffled "OUCH!" The top half of a girl could now be seen, it was like she was made of water. Then she spoke. "Whats the big idea?" She asked. It was Jackie, but being a siren whenever she became submersed in water, she became made of water until she got out again.
Jackie had been swimminf under water and when Raven slashed the water she had got Jackie's shoulder as well.
Raven didn't say anything. Instead, she turned from the lake and began to run to the school. She had had enough out here. Too much going on.
