Cassiopeia Black should have been a son. She should have listened to her mother. She should have been born with working ears. She should have unlearned her father's rage. She should have been a better daughter. She should have unfisted her hands and set down the broom. She should have been a Black brother, not just their sister. Cassiopeia Black should have been a son. But she wasn't a son, and that's what made Cassiopeia, Cassy. The queen of Slytherin had always been Bellatrix, but everyone knew that Cassy was their golden girl. At the top of their class for three years, she was also their Quidditch captain. Even when she spent her entire fourth year being bullied by her house, that somehow only certified her even more as their golden girl. She belonged to Slytherin. Even when they despised her. Her twin, Regulus, was perfectly comfortable sitting back and watching his classmates treat her like an unreal being, for good and bad. In fact, he and Sirius both had not concerned themselves with Cassy since their 2nd year. They were the Black Brothers, and she was the Black Daughter; the two hadn't intercepted in three years. Cassy was still getting used to that fact, but she didn't have much time to, especially now in her fifth year when her time was being pulled between Quidditch, two certain Hufflpuff boys and her friends scattered between the houses. Cassy liked to pretend she didn't know how Slytherin perceived her; she was slightly disgusted by it - she had fought far too many of them to idolize her. But at the end of the day, the bruises on her knuckles had faded, and her last name had not. Unfortunately for them, she had yet to take anything at Hogwarts seriously. Sirius let out his trauma in late nights. Regulus bit his tongue and let it sit in his throat. Cassy liked to pretend it had never happened while it lingered like an infection in the back of her mind. But the infection was spreading, and Cassy didn't know what she'd do when it consumed her.

― "I love you more than life itself," ― Althea Potter had always been a light. Where James burned wild and reckless, she glowed warm and steady, drawing people in with her laughter, her kindness, and her stubborn belief that everyone carried a spark worth loving. She was the sister who brightened shadows, the girl who never let anyone feel unseen. Regulus Black, on the other hand, was born of shadows. Cold where she was warm, distant where she was tender, sharp where she was soft-he was a boy sculpted by duty, drowning beneath the weight of a name that demanded silence, obedience, sacrifice. They were opposites, orbiting each other in disdain. She saw him as cruel and unfeeling, and he saw her as naïve and foolish. Yet the world has a way of binding the unwilling, and war makes strange companions of enemies. Slowly, through whispered arguments and stolen glances, Althea discovered the boy beneath the mask, and Regulus found himself yearning for the light he had spent his life rejecting. But love in times of war is fragile. It does not always save. Sometimes it destroys, quietly, beautifully, tragically. And when the end came-as it always would-they both learned that hatred can turn to love, and love can burn into something fiercer still. Something unshakable. Something eternal. Something that could only be called devotion. ☽｡⋆

Some people found comfort in sitting next to a fireplace or having someone hold onto them and whisper sweet nothing into their ear. James Potter did not find comfort in any of these things, instead finding comfort in food, specifically sweet food that would make his tastebuds celebrate with delight. The breakup between him and Lily Evans was popular gossip around the school and the head boy of Gryffindor found himself grimacing at the whisper that seemed to sprout every time someone saw him. Late at night, Jame snuck out of his quarters and crept down to the kitchen expecting to see no one except maybe a House-Elf but instead, he found a Hufflepuff with a speck of flour on her cheek.
