11 parts Ongoing MatureRaven Fawlty grew up in a grim orphanage, enduring cruelty from a heartless caretaker who ridiculed her striking pastel purple eyes, calling them poison and toxic. These taunts left Raven ashamed, avoiding the color and burying her pain. Despite her harsh upbringing, her fierce spirit and love for music offered solace, but her life changed when strange, supernatural events led her to Hogwarts.
Learning she can wield Ancient Magic, a rare and powerful force, and is haunted by vivid precognitive dreams-visions of a future she cannot control, serving as both a blessing and a curse. Her arrival coincides with a goblin rebellion, that threatens wizards and muggles alike. Amid the chaos, she forms an unexpected bond with Sebastian, a Slytherin boy weighed down by his family's struggles and relentless drive to protect those he loves. Through shared vulnerability, they become each other's lifeline, their connection deepening into a love that strengthens them both against the trials ahead.
As Raven's journey unfolds, her lilac eyes and insecurities transform from a source of ridicule into a symbol of strength. The flower represents love, growth, and truth; her story is one of resilience, self-discovery, and embracing what makes her extraordinary. Traces of Lilacs reminds us that our perceived flaws can become our greatest strengths, and even the softest trace of lilac can carry a world of meaning.
