A Reckoning Prequel
The Philosopher's Stone
> Before she became the Reckoning, she was the shame of Slytherin.
Aisling Blackwater has one rule: stay invisible.
Half-blood, half-something-else, she's the secret the dungeons whisper about-the girl with wrong eyes and the curse of a name tied to a dead Ministry investigator. Raised by Remus Lupin after tragedy, Ash only wants to survive her second year at Hogwarts unnoticed.
But Hogwarts never stays quiet.
Slytherin turns on its own, rumors coil like serpents, and a pale-haired first-year named Draco Malfoy seems to hate her on sight. He doesn't remember the winter they met-the day she taught him how to sing-but something in her eyes haunts him all the same.
While Harry Potter's legend begins above, another story stirs beneath the Black Lake-of bloodlines, buried magic, and a girl learning that silence can't save her forever.
> In a world built on purity, she's the proof that nothing pure survives the tide.
