Chapter 4

Raven sighed as she entered the headmaster's office slowly as if dreading to be there. Which she was. This castle was also so big that she was almost afraid that she would get lost in it. Of course she should be more worried about Beast Boy getting lost. He was such a hopeless case. She shook her head as she entered the room. All of her team-mates looked up as she came in. She sat down quietly in one of the cushioned chairs as she waited for Dumbledore to speak. That is why he had them meet him wasn't it?

"As you may know, "Dumbledore started, "there has been a wizarding war going on for some time. The man leading this is war is Tom Riddle, or as you would know: Voldemort. He is growing more powerful by the minute. This is why I asked you all to come here. I would like it if you can get close to Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasly. And Raven, " He gave her a look that she couldn't quite decipher, " because you have already made friends with Draco Malfoy I would like you to keep tabs on him as his father is a notorious Death Eater. I would not like it if young Malfoy got caught up in such dealings like the rest of his family. I still see hope for him."

Raven nodded her head to let him know she understood. Because that kid had so much hope. She mentally rolled her eyes and sighed mentally. Great, now she would have to get all cozy with him. Just what she wanted to do with her free time. Blaise and Pansy would have to be of second concern then. Not even second, more like last. Even if Blaise seemed like an actual decent human being. Ah well, remember Raven don't judge a book by its cover, she thought. That could be difficult.

The rest of the conversation she didn't pay attention to as much as it was just Dumbledore giving pointers to the team that no one but Robin would actually follow. Curse his good-streak. It often got in the way. But she was indebted to him no doubt. Besides she needed to stay on his good side for as long as possible because Slade was still out there. And knowing her luck, which was the greatest (note the sarcasm) he would no doubt find her. She was just looking forward to that. (Again the sarcasm.)

Once they were done and allowed to leave Raven was already halfway down the staircase wanting to get to the common room. As she walked down the corridors she had a bad feeling about Dumbledore and his 'plan' about inner-house unity. How the hell were a group of teenagers going to fix everything? Britain had a messed up sense of who saves who. Ah well, can't help that. Before Raven knew it she was already inside of the common room and she was done thinking about London's issues. Before she saw it she knew something was wrong. As Raven turned around it was too late.

Raven opened her eyes and looked around trying to remember what had happened.

"Are you okay" A voice asked?

Raven looked up to find a calming shade of grey eyes looking down at her. She could also make out the pale blond hair. She sat up and rubbed her head. She really needed to meditate.

"I'm fine," She said with no emotion.

"When I came down I saw you on the ground. I didn't know what happened," She saw Draco frown lightly at her. She looked down in thought.

"I'm not sure, but you best be on your guard. You wouldn't want anything to happen to you I presume" Raven spoke evenly?

Draco's eyes widened a little, but then he scoffed.

"As if. I doubt anyone would dare lay a hand on me," He replied.

Raven rolled her eyes and got up from the cold sofa that she was sitting on.

"I'm going to bed," Raven looked at him and then turned, "Thank you," She murmured quietly. Before he could say anything she was gone.

Draco stood there for a minute. He felt kind of odd. He never really got thanked before, not that he ever did anything to earn thanks, but still. This girl was making him feel weird and he didn't like it one bit, but he had to win against Blaise. He wouldn't be able to deal with that kid's big ass ego all year about 'how he won the cold demon'. He sighed and shook his head as he went into the room he shared with a few other kids, making sure not to wake anyone up. Not that he cared; he just didn't feel like answering stupid questions this late at night. Besides he felt a headache coming on. Cure Blaise to the ends of hell.

When he got to his bed he took out a piece of parchment and a quill out of the chest.

Father,

I have some troubling news. It seems that Dumbledore, the old kook, brought in the 'Teen Titans'. They shouldn't be an issue but one of the members is a half-demon. I thought that HE would like to know that.

Draco.

He sighed as he rolled up the parchment and decided to owl the note tomorrow. He didn't know why he didn't mention Raven's name. Maybe it was to protect her? He stared at the ceiling. Nah, that's not it. That night he dreamed of purple eyes.

Slade looked over at the man sitting beside him, if he could even call that 'thing' a man.

"So you are telling me that you will be the reason I win the war? And why is that?" The voice hissed.

"Because, I have the supplies, and the weapons. I also have connections to a demon. And the girl."

"I see….you can join in serving me, but remember who is in charge."

"I wouldn't dare forget."

Slade smirked. Everything was going according to his plans. That idiot would find out soon enough who was the real one in charge. And then she will be his.

Again I am soo sorry about not getting this out sooner! But thank you to all of you who are reading this, I really appreciate it!
