"They're coming!" her mother whispered frantically clutching a surprisingly calm Raelyn, in her arms. Her mother ran down the hall and into the closet still holding Raelyn. She could hear the spells being fired outside and screams too. Their mansion would be ruined, she thought. But that was the least of her worries right now, her husband was trying to fight off a bunch of death eaters while she went and hid with their daughter. There was a high pitched scream and a cackle from the hall. This finally made Raelyn start to whimper. She would recognize that cackle anywhere. It belonged to Bellatrix Lestrange. Her mother immediately began to shush her. Trying to keep her quiet so they could remain hidden. Her efforts barely worked as spell blasted the wall next to the closet they were hiding in, and a loud shattering noise could be heard.

"My sweet clever little Raelyn, be brave. That is all I ask of you tonight is to be brave." her mother said to her stroking her face and kissing her forehead. Another loud shatter and scream. But Raelyn did as her mother had said to do, she remained brave, even when the door was opened.

"There you are! Oh, what's this I see? Does someone have a itty bitty baby?" The woman said in a baby voice before cackling.

"I think we're going to have fun tonight!" she said sinisterly, before scooping Raelyn up into her arms as the other Death Eaters grabbed her mother.

"Let's go shall we? It's ought to get a bit bloody." She cackled, "But I dare say you are our way in, they're sure to cave under the screams of their child." She laughed. But little did Bellatrix know she was anything but right.

Later That Night...

Crack!

They suddenly appeared at a large house. Bellatrix was still holding a scared little Raelyn.

"Mummy?" she whispered scaredly.

"Your mummy was a fool, as was your father. I think you fit in much better here than you did there." she said. The dark mark burned against her skin, she had another job to do after this, she had to make this stop quick. They continued walking down the path until they reached the front doors. Bellatrix knocked hard and loud until someone appeared.

"Bella? What are you doing here, you know how I feel about this stuff. My priorities are set someone else right now." The woman said hurriedly.

"I'm not here about that, but The Dark Lord would not be pleased if he heard what you had said." She said threateningly. The womans face paled a pit.

"Please Bella just tell me what it is you want."

"Well Cissy, I have come to give something. Her parents were fools to not join the cause and contribute what they held. She's the last of the line, her parents didn't care if she died. As punishment I let her live, you are to care for her."

"But I already have-"

"Do it or there will be punishment. She is to know nothing about who she is. Or what she is, tell her no more than about how her parents died. The Dark Lord requires my presence and assistance." Bella handed Raelyn into the arms of Narcissa and with a Crack! she disapparated.

"Well, you look about Draco's age. I'm sure you'll get along." she said as she carried her into the manor and went to tell her husband about their new 'daughter'.
