Summary As soon as Raven saw her mom jumped infront of Draco the control spell wore off.... she killed her mom

The moment Lola’s body hit the ground, something in Raven snapped.

The haze in her golden eyes vanished, her small hands trembling as the dark magic surrounding her faded into nothing.

She blinked—once, twice—before realizing what she had done.

“Mummy?” Her voice was small, shaky.

No response.

Lola lay there, motionless, her body limp against the cold forest floor.

Raven’s breath hitched. Her wand slipped from her fingers.

“...Mummy?”

Her heartbeat pounded in her ears.

She didn’t mean to.

She didn’t—

She wasn’t—

The spell wasn’t meant for her.

Tears welled in Raven’s eyes, her tiny chest heaving as a horrifying realization settled over her.

She had killed her mother.

“NO!” The scream tore from her throat, raw and gut-wrenching, as she collapsed beside Lola’s body.

Draco was on his knees in an instant, his hands hovering over his sister, his entire body shaking. “Lola—Lola, wake up.” His voice cracked. “Please—”

Mattheo shoved past him, dropping beside Lola, his fingers frantically pressing against her neck, searching—praying—for a pulse.

Silence.

Then—

“...She’s breathing.”

Raven gasped sharply, her hands flying to cover her mouth.

Draco exhaled so sharply his entire body shuddered.

Voldemort, watching with amusement, let out a slow chuckle. “How tragic.”

Draco’s head snapped up, fury burning in his silver eyes.

But before he could move—

Raven did.

She turned toward Voldemort, her little hands clenched into fists, her magic—her own magic—sparking to life around her.

And for the first time, her voice was not small.

It was rage-filled.

“You did this.”

Voldemort merely tilted his head, smirking. “Did I?”

Raven’s eyes burned with fury.

And then—

The ground beneath them shook.
