Raina POV
When I woke up again, I was in the hospital wing with the curtains all around me. On my left side, there were many presents from my friends and students that I've helped throughout the year. On my right, there was Snape, leaning on a chair with his eyes closed. I smiled and tapped him "Professor, you can get Madam Pomfrey now. I believe she needs to check me," I said softly and he opened his eyes. He seemed to have heard me because he got up and left. I grabbed one of the chocolates that was left for me and I started eating. When Madam Pomfrey came in she did a quick check-up and said I was fine. "You have three scars in the back of your head from being thrown to the wall multiple times, but I have sealed them all and your hair covers them. And don't worry, there was no need to cut your hair to seal the wounds," she said and walked away. Then Dumbledore came in and opened my curtains. "Good day Raina. I hope you're feeling better," I nodded and asked, "How are Ron, Hermione, and Harry?" "They are fine and safe. Whatever happened down there is a secret," he said and I smirked "You're telling me that everyone knows," he nodded and I sighed. "Did Draco come and visit me?" I asked and he nodded "Came both nights that you were out," he said and I nodded "What about Professor Snape?" I asked and he smiled "He comes every minute that he can. But don't say I told you that. He wants to keep it a secret from everyone," he said and I nodded.
"Harry's mom saved us that night. It was because of her that Quirrell wasn't able to touch Harry," Dumbledore said and I nodded "If you're planning on giving me any points for protecting the school and Harry then I want a little for than half of them to go to Gryffindor. I think my house deserves a lesson on modesty," I said and he nodded. "We should probably get going then. Today is the last day here before getting back on the train tomorrow." I nodded "Professor, today at dinner, can I sing a song for the whole school?" I asked him and he smiled at me "I thought you'd never ask. Of course, you can," he said and I left to go to my dorm to change and pack. Once there, I showered and changed into my clothes. I fed all my animals and put them in their cages. Kronos was going to stay here with Hagrid because I couldn't bring him with me. Kronos was fine with it and couldn't wait for me to come back. I made an ice necklace that would never melt and put it on him. This way, I can always find him and he could find me. Once that was done, I cast a spell on my things and made them go to the door so I could easily pick them up tomorrow. Then I got closer to my wall with Kronos beside me. I pulled the bookshelf and went into the hidden room in my dorm. In there I saw the dragon egg that Hagrid gave me. It was a copper-colored egg meaning that it was a Peruvian Vipertooth. One of the most deadly dragons to live. Feasts on goats, cows, and humans. It can grow to be 15 feet long and three feet tall. Poisonous fangs and resides in the eastern or northern mountains of Peru. I will raise him/her to only follow my orders and to eat only when it is alright. I will have sure that the only humans he/she ever eats are rotten people that plan to hurt others.
After making sure that the egg was fine, I check in about how many months will it hatch. Luckily it will hatch in four months, so I'll be here and watch over him/her. After that, I closed the secret room and made my way to the cafeteria. I was greeted first by Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Then it was the rest of the Weasleys and more Gryffindors. I then went to the teacher's table and apologized for taking so long. I nodded to Snape and he nodded back. I went to the Slytherin table and they all nodded at me and some even clapped. I sat beside Draco as he held my hand tightly under the table. We ate in silence until Dumbledore spoke up. "Another year has gone. And now, as I understand it, the house cup needs awarding. And the points stand thus: In fourth place, Gryffindor with 312 points. Third place, Hufflepuff with 352 points. Second place, Ravenclaw with 426 points. And in first place with 472 points, Slytherin house," Slytherin clapped the loudest but I didn't care. I wanted to hear the outcome of the extra points"Yes, well done Slytherin. However, recent events must be taken into account. And I have a few last-minute points to award. To miss Raina Malfoy, for figuring out what was going on and secretly helping out the teachers and for doing everything she could to keep this school safe for the students, I award her 50 points," Slytherin clapped again as I smiled.
"To Miss Hermione Granger, for the cool use of intellect while others were in grave peril, 50 points." Gryffindor clapped and Dumbledor continued "Second, to Mr. Ronald Weasley for the best-played game of chess that Hogwarts has ever seen these many years, 50 points. And third, to Mr. Harry Potter, for pure nerve and outstanding courage, I award Gryffindor 60 points. And, it takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but a greater deal to stand up to your friends. I award 10 point points to Neville Longbottom," All the other houses clapped for Gryffindor. But they were still behind by 40 points. "Finally, an anonymous person asked me to give some of his or her points to the house I deem worthy. So I award 50 points to...Gryffindor," He said and all of Gryffindor stood up clapping and making noise. Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw followed. I got up and ran to Harry. I hugged him, Hermione, Ron, and all the Weasleys congratulating them. I was happy for them. I knew Slytherin was mad at losing and mad at me for coming here to congratulate Gryffindor instead of being mad at them but I didn't care. I was happy. The banners changed and everyone but Slytherin clapped. After that, we all finished eating. On our way back to our dorms, Lucas stood by me. I knew he was going to say something later but I just ignored him and continued. When we got to the common room, I sat down on one of the couches and Lucas sat in front of me. Everyone went to their dorms to finish packing or say goodbye to everyone. Once the common room was empty Lucas spoke "Are you sure you're ok? I saw the scars Madam Pomfrey was sealing. It looked pretty bad," he said and I nodded. "I'm fine Lucas, now let me get to my dorm and finish packing before dinner," I said and he followed me up to the dorms. Once I got to mine, I opened my door and turned to him "You can go now. I don't need help on packing and I'm sure you still need to pack," I turned and tried to go into my room. Lucas held my hand and pulled me back making me turn to him again. In a matter of seconds he pecked my lips and said "See you around Raina," he said and walked away. My face turned beat red, 'What the hell just happened?' I asked myself but this time Neva answered 'I think he likes you. And by your reaction, you like him too,' she teased 'I do not!' I yelled at her and walked into my room getting ready to sing tonight.
When dinner finally came we all went down in our robes. I also had my robes on but I had different clothes underneath. I was nervous again but I was able to control myself. (Below is what she is wearing)
We ate dinner while I got worried about what would happen if they didn't like the song I picked. I was so worried I didn't even notice when Dumbledore started speaking. Draco nudged me and told me to listen "Before we end tonight, one of our students has agreed to sing for us before we leave until next year, and some might not even come back since they have graduated this year. So if you would Miss Raina," I got up and watched as the tables moved so everyone would be able to see me. I pulled out my wand and placed speakers on every corner of the great hall. I let the music play as I took off my robe and folded it neatly as I sent it flying to Draco. I saw him smile at me and I began to sing when my que came.
I had a dream so big and loud
I jumped so high I touched the clouds
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh
I stretched my hands out to the sky
We danced with monsters through the night
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh
I'm never gonna look back
Woah, never gonna give it up
No, please don't wake me now
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
I howled at the moon with friends
And then the sun came crashing in
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh
But all the possibilities
No limits just epiphanies
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh
I'm never gonna look back
Woah, never gonna give it up
No, just don't wake me now
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
I hear it calling outside my window
I feel it in my soul (soul)
The stars were burning so bright
The sun was out 'til midnight
I say we lose control (control)
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
This is gonna be, this is gonna be, this is gonna be
The best day of my life
Everything is looking up, everybody up now
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
When I finished the song everyone started clapping and stood up. I smiled and bowed to them. I went back to my table and put back on my robe. Harry, Hermione, and Ron came up to me and hugged me. I smiled and then we all headed towards our dorms to sleep. Everyone in the common room said that I had a wonderful voice and I thanked them. Dumbledore started speaking again "Thank you, Raina, for the wonderful song. Now I would like to announce one more thing tonight. Starting next year, Raina will be assisting a teacher of her choice during classes and Hagrid after classes. This means that next year she will also have to power to give and take points from houses. I know she won't abuse her new power so I trust her knowing that if she does take points, then it is for a reason. Now enjoy the rest of your meal," he said and we finished eating. Eventually, everyone went to their dorms but I stayed in the common room. I stared at the fire as I thought about how this year went by quickly. I thought about everything that happened and how I learned so much with the time Dumbledore gave me away from class claiming to be for me to practice how to control Neva's powers. I used all that time to learn different types of dragon slayer magic. I so far learned from 20 different dragons because every time it came to that 'class' I would go to the dragon realm and practice there. Good thing that one hour here is one week over there so I had plenty of time to learn everything right and quickly.
I was brought out of my thoughts when I felt something touch my lips. I looked at the person in front of me and pushed him away. I stood up and was about to hit the person when I saw that it was Lucas. "What the hell, Lucas? What is your damn problem?" I yelled as I slapped his arm multiple times before leaving him in the common room. As I went up he came behind me and tried to stop me "I'm sorry Raina. I was trying to get your attention but you wouldn't answer. You were so deep in that even when I poked and shook you nothing happened. So I did what next came to mind," I turned to him as I reached my door "That gives you no right to do that. No right at all," I said as I entered my room and pulled my curtain so I could change. Once I finished I opened the curtain and went to my luggage. I put my dress and shoes away and I pulled out the clothes I was going to wear tomorrow. Once that finished, I put my stuff back and fed my animals. I was heading towards Winter's cage when Lucas stepped in front of me and placed his hands on both of my sides "Stop moving Raina. You're driving me and yourself crazy," I glared at him and but sighed and decided to take a deep breath. I calmed down and he let me go. "Thank you," I said and went to feed Winter. Then I fed Venom and lastly is I fed Kronos.
I sat down on my bed and Lucas closed my door and sat beside me on my bed. "Forgive me?" he asked and I sighed "Fine," I said and lied down on my bed. I moved the covers from under me and pulled them up. I lied there looking at Lucas as he patted Kronos's fur. "You have to go, you know? You can't stay here," I said and he sighed "I know but I don't want to go. I like petting your griffin," I smiled and gave in "Fine, you can stay until I fall asleep. After that, you have to go," he nodded and I closed my eyes. After half an hour, I was out like a light.
Lucas POV
I watched as Raina fell asleep. I wonder how would she react when she finds out her dad and my dad made an agreement for us to be married. I get the feeling she won't like it much. I kissed her forehead and whispered "You will be mine one day Raina. You can bet on that," I said and left her room. I went to my dorm and fell asleep.
~The Next Day~
Raina POV
I was on the train putting my luggage away. I then went to one of the booths and sat down. I put on my headphones and listened to music. I knew Ron, Hermione, and Harry were going to sit with me but I didn't expect Lucas to sit next to me either. "What do you want now?" I asked him and he smirked at me "Why are you here and not with your twin?" he asked me and I sighed "He is with the two idiots he calls friends. I'd rather not lose any brain cells," I said and he nodded. "Well then, I guess I'll leave you alone. See you next year," he said left. Soon after the Golden Trio joined me and soon after that, we were on our way back to London.
