This is the story of Lyra Potter, Slytherin, daughter of a family that never quite saw her, best friend to two boys who adored her and knew better than to try to own her the girl who chose her own side and paid her own price for it. It is also, inevitably, the story of Regulus Black, and the five years it took two people who knew exactly what they were to each other to stop pretending they didn't. Enemies first. Then the thing underneath all of it, which had been there since a Charms class in third year when she dismantled Flitwick's entire argument and looked sideways to see if anyone had followed, and he had. He always had.
