With the exception of Sirius Black and a few others, members of the old and noble pureblood families were always seen as nothing but pure evil murderers. They were the ones who had followed Lord Voldemort in two wizarding wars and killed hundreds of people, both magical folk and Muggles.
But are they nothing but evil?
In the 1970s, young Phoenix Black's only goal is to live up to her family's expectations, even if it means living a life, in which she wouldn't get to make her own decisions. To her, nothing is more important than her family. But when her older brother is disowned, for the first time, doubts rise in her heart, and from that very moment onwards her life seems to be turning into a downward spiral. She discovers horrible abilities, she cannot control and realises the world, she has believed in for so long, is nothing but a lie.
Even Slytherins went through struggles in their lives, more than one might think. They fell in love, made choices, which could never be reversed, and sometimes they felt like there was nothing left to fight for.
And eventually, they might have turned into the monsters everybody saw in them.
