There were four Black sisters: Bellatrix, Andromeda, Narcissa, and Cassia-the youngest, often shielded from the worst of the family's expectations.
When Lucius Malfoy suggests Severus Snape as a match for Cassia, even Cygnus Black agrees. Severus is brilliant, powerful, and trusted by Lucius. So Cassia becomes Cassia Snape the same day Narcissa becomes Narcissa Malfoy.
It should have been a new beginning.
Instead, on their wedding night, Dumbledore summons Severus to Hogwarts. He leaves Spinner's End under wards, promising to return.
He never does.
Weeks turn into years. Trapped and unable to escape, Cassia survives in secret Animagus form-a weasel-living off rats and scraps while gathering Floo powder for hope.
Eleven years later, Narcissa receives a Floo call: her sister is alive.
Barely.
Now Narcissa wants her back. Lucius wants answers. Draco learns he has an aunt. And Severus Snape is about to face divorce papers in the Great Hall.
House Black has never handled family matters quietly-especially not with Lucius Malfoy involved.
Severus may survive losing his wife, his godson, and Narcissa's fury.
But surviving announcing the grounds for his divorce in front of Hogwarts?
That may be impossible.
He said he'd be right back.
Eleven years later, her sister came for her instead.
