I look up from my book, my patience tested to the limit. "Don't you get it, yet?!" I very nearly shout at him without meaning to, the words bursting out of my mouth in a torrent. "There's no such thing as heroes and villains. There are only those who will do whatever they want, for whatever reason they want. And my reason... is to keep my friends safe. Whatever the cost."

***

Cassia Black was born with different destinies. The destiny of her father, notorious criminal Sirius Black, and the destiny of her mother, selfless martyr Marlene McKinnon. 
She's torn in all directions, being forced to change who she is and shape into who she should become, but who is it that she's supposed to become? Will her real self ever be enough?
She may be a Black, but the light can still shine from her.

The Weight of Shadows by CharlotteHaydon
8 parts Ongoing Mature
Born into the prestigious and feared House of Black, Cassiopeia Walburga Black is not just the eldest daughter of Walburga and Orion-she is their first heir. From the moment of her birth, Cassiopeia is trapped under the crushing weight of her family's dark legacy, forced to embody the pure-blood ideals of an ancient, unforgiving lineage. Within the cold, shadowed halls of Grimmauld Place, her childhood is anything but innocent. Taught advanced magic beyond her years and molded by her father's obsession with dark magic, Cassiopeia grows up in an environment that offers neither warmth nor love. Her parents, publicly poised and superior, are privately cruel and demanding, shaping her into a tool for the Black family's ambitions. While other children dream of freedom, Cassiopeia's world is one of strict obedience, wandless magic drills, and relentless expectations. As her parents' cold hands guide her every step, Cassiopeia begins to realize that her greatest battle may not be against the darkness of the magical world-but against the darkness that has taken root within her own home. A tale of trauma, power, and survival, this story delves into the shadowed life of a child born into a family where love is a luxury, and power is everything. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marauders era Being updated regularly First book in the duology (I do not own any Harry Potter original characters or plots.
