Aurora Potter had always been in the spotlight, whether she wanted to be or not. Being James Potter's younger sister meant that she was often surrounded by her brother's friends—Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew—the infamous Marauders of Gryffindor. Their presence made her life at Hogwarts both exhilarating and exhausting. But despite the constant whirlwind of mischief, one person managed to unsettle her more than any prank or duel ever could: Regulus Black.
Regulus, Sirius's younger brother, was everything Sirius wasn't. While Sirius was bold, brash, and rebellious, Regulus was quiet, calculating, and steeped in the traditions of his pure-blood family. His cold demeanor and intense, stormy eyes had always unnerved Aurora, especially when she caught him watching her from across the room.
One evening, as the Gryffindor common room buzzed with excitement over the upcoming Quidditch match against Slytherin, Aurora sat quietly by the fire, attempting to focus on her Transfiguration homework. Her brother, James, was loudly discussing strategy with Sirius, their voices animated as they bantered back and forth.
"Aurora, what's wrong?" Sirius asked suddenly, noticing her silence. He plopped down beside her, a mischievous grin on his face. "You're usually right in the thick of it with us."
Aurora forced a smile. "Just trying to get some work done, Sirius. Not everyone can slack off like you."
Sirius laughed, ruffling her hair. "That's because not everyone's as brilliant as me."
"Modest as ever," Remus remarked from his chair, a book in hand but his eyes twinkling with amusement.
Peter snickered from the floor, where he was playing a game of Exploding Snap. "She's probably thinking about the match, you know. Gryffindor against Slytherin—it's going to be brutal."
Aurora rolled her eyes. "I'm not worried about the match, Peter. We'll crush them as usual."
James puffed out his chest. "That's the spirit, little sis! We'll show those Slytherins who's boss."
But Aurora's thoughts weren't on the match. They were on Regulus. She had caught him staring at her again earlier that day in the library, his gaze filled with something she couldn't quite decipher. It was unsettling, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong.
