Raina POV
When I was sure they were far away, I ran out of the hospital wing and went to Jr.'s office. When I got there, Dumbledore was there with Snape and McGonagall. Harry was behind them. They were interrogating him and I assume Snape gave him the truth potion. They opened the chest and I watched the show. "He's not in there!" Dumbledore yelled and pointed his wand at Jr. again. "Of course he isn't. I took him out when I found out where the real one was. I'll bring him to you when this dude is done with," I said as they all turned to me. "Then who is he?" Harry asked and Snape took a sniff at Jr.'s flask. He found out Jr. was the one stealing from his stores. Jr. started turning back and I pointed my wand at him. "Barty Crouch Junior," Dumbledore said and then Jr. showed his mark. Harry also showed his bleeding wound. Dumbledore ordered an owl to be sent to Azkaban and I spoke up. "I can take him myself if you allow me to, Professor. I'm faster than any owl and he would be in his prison in half an hour and I would be back by dinner time," I said and he agreed. I petrified Barty and tied a rope around him. I turned my legs and feet to talons and made my wings show. I went out of the door with Barty on my feet and flying away to Azkaban.
As promised, I made it to Azkaban in half an hour. I went in and showed them, Barty. To thank me for this, they paid me and I told them the account they should put the money in since I didn't have time to go to Gringotts and put the money in. They also allowed me to see my aunt. "Ah, my little niece. How are you dearly?" she asked in her sweet high voice. "I'm fine, aunt. I just came to tell you that I brought your buddy Barty Jr. back and that I refuse to join Voldemort. Don't come to my home and ask me to join because no matter what, the answer is no," I said and left as she yelled behind me. She and I never saw eye to eye. I was glad when she was sentenced to Azkaban.
By the time I made it back to Hogwarts, I had ten minuted left to dinner. I went to my dorm and changed for tonight. I was planning on singing tonight as an apology to Draco for scaring him and making him cry. This is how I always apologized to him when I had made him cry. I went down to dinner and ate with everyone. When dinner finished, I went to the front of the Hall and spoke loudly. "Tonight, as the completion of the Triwizard Tournament, I plan to sing three songs for you all. I hope you enjoy it," I said and flicked my wand for music to start playing.
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid (yeah)
To take a stand, it's been a ride
Everybody, I guess I had to
Go to that place
To get to this one
Now some of you
Might still be in that place
If you're tryin' to get out
Just follow me
I'll get you there
You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em
But you won't take the sting out these words before I say 'em
'Cause ain't no way I'm a let you stop me from causin' mayhem
When I say I'm a do somethin' I do it
I don't give a damn what you think
I'm doin' this for me, so fuck the world, feed it beans
It's gassed up if it thinks it's stoppin' me
I'mma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me, I'm tearin' down your balcony
No if, ands or buts, don't try to ask him why or how can he
From "Infinite" down to the last "Relapse" album he's still shittin'
Whether he's on salary, paid hourly, until he bows out or he shits his bowels out of him
Whichever comes first, for better or worse
He's married to the game, like a fuck you for Christmas
His gift is a curse, forget the Earth, he's got the urge to pull his dick from the dirt
And fuck the whole universe
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
To take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody)
Come take my hand come (come take my hand)
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just letting you know that you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road
Okay quit playin' with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap
I shouldn't have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know it's a rap
You said you was king
You lied through your teeth, for that fuck your feelings
Instead of gettin' crowned you're gettin' capped, and to the fans
I'll never let you down again, I'm back
I promise to never go back on that promise
In fact, let's be honest, that last "Relapse" CD was eh
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Relax, I ain't goin' back to that now
All I'm tryin' to say is get back, click-clack, blow 'cause I ain't playin' around
It's a game called circle and I don't know how
I'm way too up to back down
But I think I'm still tryin' to figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't, this fuckin' black cloud
Still follows me around but it's time to exercise these demons
These mother fuckers are doin' jumpin' jacks now
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
To take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody)
Come take my hand come (come take my hand)
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just letting you know that you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road
And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today
I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, I'mma face my demons
I'm manning up, I'mma hold my ground
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now (now)
It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me
Admittedly, I probably did it subliminally
For you, so I could come back a brand new me, you helped see me through
And don't realize what you did, believe me you
I been through the ringer, but they could do little to the middle finger
I think I got a tear in my eye, I feel like the king of
My world, haters can make like bees with no stingers and drop dead
No more bee flingers, no more drama from now on
I promise to focus solely on handlin' my responsibilities as a daughter
So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof, like my mother and raise it
You couldn't lift a single shingle on it, 'cause the way I feel
I'm strong enough to go to the club or the corner pub
And lift the whole liquor counter up 'cause I'm raising the bar
I'd shoot for the moon but I'm too busy gazin' at stars, I feel amazing and I'm not
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
To take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (Everybody)
Come take my hand come (Come take my hand)
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just letting you know that you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road
I heard claps everywhere and I smiled. I saw them started to move tables around so everyone would be able to see me. "This next song I wrote a while back. It is meant as an apology to my twin brother. The one I love more than anything even when he's an ass," I said and everyone chucked. I flicked my wand and music started playing.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
If I'm the sun then you're the moon
If you're the words then I'm the tune yeah
If you're the heart then I'm the beat
Somehow together we're complete yeah
There are times my world is crumbling and the rain is crashing down
But everywhere you are the sun comes out
Even when you're gone
I feel you close
You'll always be the one
I love the most
You're in my heart, on my mind
You are underneath my skin
And anywhere, anytime, that you need anything
Count me in
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Count me in yeah, yeah
I don't need to say a word, no
'Cause you know when I'm happy and when I'm hurt
We're close as pages in a book
'Cause you make me feel better with just one look
There are times my world is crumbling and the rain is crashing down
But everywhere you are the sun comes out
Even when you're gone
I feel you close
You'll always be the one
I love the most
You're in my heart, on my mind
You are underneath my skin
And anywhere, anytime, that you need anything
Count me in
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Count me in yeah, yeah
'Cause we're two halves of the same new heart that beats to our own drum
You're the shadow always by my side
One that sometimes knows me better than I know myself
And I wish that you were here with me tonight
Even when you're gone
I feel you close
You'll always be the one
I love the most
You're in my heart, on my mind
You are underneath my skin
And anywhere, anytime, that you need anything
Count me in
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Count me in yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Count me in
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Count me in
Again, everyone clapped and I smiled. I looked at Draco and motioned for him to come and stand next to me. He came and we hugged each other. I conjured up a guitar and handed it to Draco. He knew what I wanted and this time he agreed. I conjured up another one as well as stools for us to sit. "This last song Draco and I wrote as children. We would like to share it with all of you tonight and ask for no one to repeat what you see and hear tonight. This is a one-time thing," I said and flicked my wand one last time. (By the way, Moody has been out since before she left to Azkaban because of her clone).
(Raina)
Hey brother! There's an endless road to rediscover
(Draco)
Hey sister! Know the water's sweet but blood is thicker
(Both)
Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
(Raina)Hey brother! Do you still believe in one another?
(Draco)
Hey sister! Do you still believe in love? I wonder
(Both)
Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
(Draco)What if I'm far from home?
(Raina)
Oh, brother, I will hear you call!
What if I lose it all?
(Draco)
Oh, sister, I will help you out!

I heard clapping for the last time tonight and I hugged my brother again. We bowed and I vanished the things I conjured. After that, we all went to sleep to get ready for tomorrow.
~The next day~
We were all in the Great Hall. Today Dumbledore was going to tell us all about Voldemort. "Today we acknowledge some really terrible news. Raina Black, as you all know, is a hard-working student and a loyal and fierce friend. Exceptionally well in everything, because she does it all with care. She has saved many of you from many things. This is why I believe you should all know how it is that we almost lost her. You see, Raina Black was almost murdered by Lord Voldemort!" Dumble said to us. I raised my head and continued to look straight at him. "The Ministry of Magic does not wish me to tell you this. But not to do so, I think, would be an insult to her fight." I zoned out because I already knew this.
As the rest of the day went by, we were all packing and getting ready to leave. I packed everything and wrote down what I found out about Voldemort. I was planning on searching for the Horcruxes over the summer so I could get rid of him. We were all heading towards the station to leave. Victor gave me his address to message him over the summer and I believe it's because he wants me to help him get Hermione. I then saw him giving his address to Hermione. After a while, we were all on the train and going home.
