{𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝟱} There are some stories that are told, but some others are just meant to be buried away. We have all heard the heroic story of Regulus Black; a Pureblood wizard who joined the Dark Lord at a young age, only to see the darkness within. So he finds one of his Horcruxes and sacrifices himself in hopes of destroying it. Or at least, this is just a small part of a story which we've never been told before; a tale that other than Regulus, only a girl named Alexandra Starling could've known.

Malia Black grew up with an urge to protect her family. The war might be long over, but in the eyes of many, the Black family are yet to make up for the crimes of their ancestors. Will Malia be able to protect her family and newfound friends throughout her time at Hogwarts, or will she drag them down with her? All seems to be going well, until Malia becomes too closely entwined with James Potter...
