Oliver Black grew up in the shadow of a name the wizarding world feared.
Before he could walk, people whispered about his family. But Oliver was raised far from the cold Black traditions. His mother kept their home warm, loud, and full of magic. And yet, every time Oliver stepped outside, he felt the weight of the Black legacy clinging to him like smoke.
When his Hogwarts letter arrived, Oliver didn't feel fear.
He felt opportunity.
A chance to prove that a Black could be more than darkness.
A chance to make friends who chose him, not his history.
A chance to build a life that was entirely his own.
By the time he boards the train to Hogwarts, Oliver is ready: hopeful, stubborn, reckless in all the ways a hero usually starts out - and carrying a past the castle has no idea is about to unravel.
