3rd person pov:
"Ophi, baby! Can you bring mummy her book, please?" Raven Potter asked her daughter.
It hadn't been easy for them. Ever since Sirius Black was sent to Askaban for the betrayal and implication oh his best friend's murder, Raven and Ophidia had been all on their own.
Never would have Raven thought that the love of her life would be the one assisting in her brother's murder.
"Okay mummy!" the five year old ran to get her mother the copy of "Firestarter".
"Thank you, sweetie." She kissed the top of Ophidia's head, to which the small girl responded to by sighing contently.
In a matter of seconds, their whole life would be turned upside down. The loud thump of the front door being knocked down sent a shiver down the young mother's spine.
"No...no, no." Raven panicked while her daughter looked up at her, tears brimming her eyes. "Baby, listen to me. We have to play a game of hide and seek, okay? You go hide in the library where you always do and mummy will come find you later."
Curses and shouts could be heard from under them, terrifying the small girl to her core.
"B-but mum-" she tried protesting.
Tears threatened to spill out of her mother's eyes "Go on, quickly. Mummy loves you Ophidia. Never forget that." Raven kissed her daughter.
"I love you too mummy." The terrified girl ran to the library and hid behind one of the book shelves.
Raven's pov:
I ran down the stairs, pointing my wand towards the sick bastard standing in my living room.
"Get the fuck out of my house you roach."
"Where is he?" The man walked closer to her.
She let out a cold laugh, no longer scared of the Death Eater in front of her. "Why would I tell you?"
"You either tell me, or you die." He threatened, his voice menacing.
"You will never get to him." "Stupefy!"
The Death Eater flew across the room with a loud thud.
"You fucking whore... You have one more chance. Where is the boy?"
