The next day was quiet and chilling for harry and raven. Everyone was nearly gone for the holidays and it was Christmas eve and snow had began to fall around Hogwarts once more. Sending burst of cold chill throughout the castle , forcing the house elves to light all the fireplaces. The Christmas Eve feast was full of fake smiles for the two, and McGonagall and Snape could both tell the were forcing there laughter and smiles.

" alright everybody it is time to go to bed and tomorrow we can look forward to a festive and happy Christmas. Goodnight."

" goodnight Minerva." The teachers left as did the two children. After the two found out about there father, McGonagall gave them a permission to share harrys room in the ravenclaw tower as long as raven promised not to tell anyone about it.

Harry pov

It was numbing. I cried at first and raven held me in her arms. But after a few tears I didn't feel anything.

Should I feel bad that I'm not shedding tears for joe? Am I betraying his meamory not wanting to think about him? Ie been so concerned over finding the stone that I lost sight of why I was here in the first place.

Flashback

Harry: Hey, Ron, somebody broke into Gringotts. Listen, Believed to be the work of dark witches or wizards unknown, Gringotts goblins, while acknowledging the breach, insist that nothing was taken. The vault in question, number 713, had in fact been emptied earlier that same day. That's odd. That's the vault Hagrid went to."

Later that day

Scene: (from J.k. Rowling HPSS) The three are walking up a staircase. A railing pulls in...Hermione looks, but continues walking.

The staircase shudders and begins to move. The three grab the railings.

Ron: Ahh!

Hermione Gasps in shock

Harry-"What's happening?

Hermione-"The staircases change, remember? "The staircase stops, in a new place.

Harry-Let's go this way.

Ron-Before the staircase moves again. "

They all open a door and walk into a spooky, dark room.

Harry–"Does anyone feel like...we shouldn't be here?"

Hermione-"We're not supposed to be here. This is the 3rd floor. It's forbidden."

Suddenly, a flame lights on a tall stone support. At that moment, the caretaker's cat, MRS. NORRIS, comes running in and meows. The group jumps.

Harry: Let's go.

{meow}

Ron: It's Filch's cat!

Harry-" Run!"

The group runs. Flames are lit as they go. They get to the end of the corridor, to a door. Harry grabs the handle, but it's locked.

Harry-"It's locked!"

Ron-"That's it, we're done for!"

Hermione- Oh, move over! {pushes through and pulls out wand} Alohomora. {The door opens.} Get in. {They bustle in.}

Ron-"Alohomora?"

Hermione-"Standard book of spells, Chapter 7."

Filch appears at the start of the corridor with a light. Mrs. Norris looks at him.

Filch: "Anyone here, my sweet? {meow} Come on. Lets go"

Hermione-" Filch is gone."

Ron-"Probably thinks this door's locked."

Hermione "It was locked."

Harry gulped ,"And for good reason. "Ron and Hermione turn to stand with Him. There is a massively huge three headed dog sleeping in front of them. The dog, begins to wake. It growls, yawns, and growls more...noticing the intruders.

All: AHHHHHHH! The three bolt, running out of the door. They turn quickly to shut the door and battle against the dog. They get the door shut and run.

Back in the ravenclaw room. They are breathless.

Ron-"What do they think they're doing? Keeping a thing like that locked up in a school."

Hermione-"You don't use your eyes, do you? Didn't you see what it was standing on?"

Ron- "I wasn't looking at its feet! I was a bit preoccupied with its heads. Or maybe you didn't notice, there were three! "

Hermione-"It was standing on a trap door. Which means it wasn't there by accident. It's guarding something."

Harry-"Guarding something?"

Hermione-" That's right. Now, if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed...or worse, expelled! " hermione sneers at them before storming towards her room.

Ron-"She needs to sort out her priorities! Now I got to go before I'm caught by Snape . Later"

Flashback end

My pillow moved and snapped me out of my daze.

" hey" raven whispered, I could here the sadness in her voice, but I now she won't spill me,Hehe she always said I wore my heart on my sleeves.

" hey"
I feel her tilt my head and give me a soft kiss on my forehead. I open my eyes to look at her and I can't help but notice. She was so beautiful. She always has been. Eyes like the night sky, hair as black as ebony, beautiful aristocratic face...and a strength that was beyond comprehension. It doesn't bother me that her father killed my parents, we both understand that it was war and death is only a natural occurrence . She has been there for me through thick and thin,the good and the bad. She's suffered with me, she's bled with me. I don't know what would happen if I had lost her.

I think she noticed my look because she smiled softly at me, eyes full of fingers raked through my hair, a habit she picked up when we were little and I had nightmares. my body relaxes at her touch instantly. I never should've separated her from me. The idea I guess, that we weren't the only magical beings had thrilled me so that I left her behind. After I promised never to leave her. We only had each other left, and we should keep it that way.

"Hey raven..."

" mm?"
" can you sing one of your songs to me? You know the ones you dream about?"

I can feel her body stiffen before relaxing by a deep breath. She's told me of her dreams, and the man in them, the songs and the language. A language I too can understand.

" of course..which one?"

I tilt my head wondering which one I'd love to hear . I look up at her.

" lullaby?"

" ok..lie down and relax ."

I do as told and her fingers continued there path through my hair. And her soothing melodic voice seeps through my pores like always. As always its the special language.

Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of soft grass, a big green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your eyes
And when they open, the sun will rise.

Here it's safe, and here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.

Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a soft moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when it's morning, they'll wash away.

Here it's safe, and here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
Here is the place where I'll always love you."

I wake out of my slumber by the grandfather clock as it chimes.

" Merry Christmas Harry."

" Merry Christmas Raven."

And I give credit to J.K Rowling for the third floor scene I was to lazy to right out the whole scene I'm sorry :p
