Cassiopeia Black is the youngest child born into the proud pure-blood family. From a young age, there are a lot of expectations placed on her, as well as her older brothers; Sirius and Regulus.

But when Cassie fails to display any magical ability, her parents become concerned, and push her to great extremes to try and force magic out of her.

When she fails to recieve a Hogwarts letter on her 11th birthday, her family have to accept that she is a Squib. But there is no room for a Squib in the proud Black family. And Walburga will go to any lengths to remove all imperfections from her perfect family tree.

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.

Squib On The Run (sequel to Squib In The basement)

26 parts Ongoing Mature

After living what she thinks is the worst life ever, Cassiopeia Black is determined to make sure that Harry Potter's life is not as bad as hers. She spends her days watching over him from afar, never revealing herself to him, in case he ever told anyone about her. And since Cassiopeia is on the run from the Ministry for killing her mother and her son, being recognised is something she wants to avoid. But when Harry turns 11 and learns about the wizarding world, Cassiopeia realises that she can't hide who she is from him anymore. She needs her godson to be prepared, before entering a world that views him as their savour. But Harry is a magnet for danger, and Cassiopeia isn't sure how much longer she can continue protecting him, from the shadows, especially since she is a Squib who possess no magic of her own.
