Harry Potter: Hogsmeade

Raven suddenly blurted out "HE IS HIDING SOMETHING FROM YOU!!" she then stopped and said.."sorry...I mean why else would he go to all that trouble to stop his best mate from trying to read his thoughts."

Shade looks in astonishment at raven staring at her for a short time until a knowing look crosses his face. ."what did you just say."

good question. i asked him, and he just shrugged, and hes got a shrug which says "just drop it, yeah?" and i did, but i was still curious, so i thought id catch him by suprise, but somehow he knew. its as if he always has up an occlumency wall. hes hiding something from everyone, but one day, im gonna find out what it is.

"do it in his sleep".....Raven looked to shade. "obviously, something is wrong if he wont even let his best friend into his thoughts."

"raven im guessing you didnt mean to say the things you just said."he then adds to pacs comment"he does i tried probing his mind earlier but the barrier was still there,but a mans thoughts are private unless you have his permision you should not try it again. you should only try to invite yourself into someones mind in dire circumstances

"well..no not the way it first came out" Raven looked to the ground and back up at shades face. "it just..I dunno seems a bit strange"

"Does this happen often or is it pretty rare" shade said. he think he knew something about raven that many people did not know about her"did you know your father or mother to ever do that?"

"what do you mean......sometimes I seem to think people should not be trusted and I get these crazy ideas why but its just mostly my imagination I am sure"

"No i dont think it is,did your mother or father just blurt things out at moments like these".All the pieces were fitting together.Shade realized that rave might have a special gift that she didnt know aboout.

Raven started laughing "I think you got me confused with someone else" she then started to walk off.

"wait, i dont think i have you confuesd,you have a gift raven a very rare one"he satrted to walk tward her.he was sure she had the gift. almost positive. "i know because my brother had it and so did my mother. ive also noticed your friend dias has it."

"I dont have a gift...I just know when people are hiding things...if you remember my friend Sir J. said he was on our side, turned out to be a death eater..."

"ok but i really do think your throwing something truelly amazing away. i know it when i see it."shade walked out of the castle with a hurt look on his scared face and went to track down milion. he had to talk to him. "if you change your mind ill be around hogsmeade" he said with out a backward glance.

Raven ran up to shade... "I am sorry, I just dont see how someone like me could possibly have any special gifts"

"your more special than you know, and your the same way my brother was before he knew he had the gift,i hope in time youll realize you have it", and with that he walked into the woodsto track down milion.

Raven followed shade"wait.... I'll come with you"

Shade slows down to allow raven to catch up.he was certain he was right about raven.and hed also been right about two other young men hed found.He looked at raven"changed your mind"?

"I dunno....can you tell me about your brother?"

"certainly,his name was Brian he was a very strongwilled young man. always leading the pack wherever he went. sometimes i almost felt like the younger of us.Youd never know that i was older if i didnt have this scar.he was always determined, and full of courage,trustworthiness,and always had a smile on his face",shade wipes a tear away from his face determined not to show rave that he was crying because of the memories of his brother. "he led a team of aurors into a stronghold where deatheaters were said to be having a meeting.but something went wrong, terribly wrong. He had a strong feeling about one of the members of the group, that they were a spy. he turned around to confirm that everyone was still there and when he looked at the man he burst out uncontrolably TRAITOR!. the deatheaters heard him and they slaughtered everyone in the group.How do i know this you might ask. I was with the group that night. i watched my brothers die at the hands of deatheaters. Everyone in the group died except for me. while i was their hostage i heard them talking one night. they said they were getting a new leader the next day. a man called milion. my brother had the gift of being able to read a persons personality, character,and thoughts without using magic. the one time he couldnt control his gift it ended up killing him."shade turned away brushing another tear away from his eyes this time not caring if raven saw it drop from his face."i know you have this gift".

Raven walked closer to shade and gave him a hug. "so sorry that happened to your brother and friends"..."and from what you say, perhaps I do have a gift.."
