Ardor Avery has grown up in Pure Blood Society. As a member of the Sacred 28, Ardor is accustomed to an endless parade of Balls and lavish events. However, Ardor and her best friend, Sirius Black, have always objected to the traditions and prejudice views held by their parents. Ardor had never given Sirius's younger brother Regulus much thought until starting her sixth year of Hogwarts. Although she initially holds distaste for him and his toleration of the views in Pureblood society, she soon finds that he is much more than what meets the eye. However, she still wonders if that will be enough.
