Set in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Book 3 in the Custos Terrae Series.

The 422nd Quidditch World Cup of 1994 - for the most part - had been as smooth as clockwork as any other major sporting event previously. The buzz of excitement could be felt for miles around, and witches, wizards and all manner of magical beings came together for the greatest of spectacles. 
     But this one in particular, would be remembered for many a reason besides Ireland Vs Bulgaria. 

     What started as a fine day, ended in horror. And the people of Britain were plunged into an abyss of fear many hadn't felt since Lord Voldemort had disappeared all those years before. 
     But fear was nothing when bravery showed itself...

     None can say for certain the exact moment that all hell broke lose, because one minute the celebrations were booming into the late hours of the night. And then the next - tents were aflame, blood-curdling screams filled the air, and a family of Muggles were being tortured.

     Tortured by a group wearing black robes and metal masks, their cackles of twisted delight sickening to anyone who heard them. 
     But many did not as chaos ensued. They did not linger, for they feared what would happen. And when the sky erupted with a harrowing skull of emerald stars, it only meant one thing;
     The Death Eaters had returned.

There's something everyone is ashamed of. Many times it's the way a certain body part appears and other times it's a family member. The thing I was most ashamed of was how I wasn't enough for my own father, Sirius Black. He had lost me for years, but when the opportunity arose to have me back, he sneered and told me I wasn't enough. For that, I was ashamed of myself. I should have been ashamed about who had actually raised me. I'm not talking about my uncle, who loved me more then anything, but rather my stepfather, the man everyone was hiding from me. He was said to be an evil man, but he loved me, which had to make him at least slightly good. So why would I be ashamed of a man like that? -------------------------------------------------------------- Ivy Hamilton, known to her true friends and family as Ivory Black, had spent the better part of her summer prepping potion ingredients for her uncle, Severus Snape, as punishment for what happened at the end of her third year. However, it's time for Severus to return to Hogwarts and Ivy is heading to spend her last two weeks of summer break with the Malfoys. It was the perfect end to a somewhat boring summer. Or at least it was supposed to be. After the devastating events at the Quidditch World Cup, Ivy is left burned and scarred, with more questions then answers. Heading back to Hogwarts was the last thing she wanted, but there everything seemed right in the world with her friends by her side and her classes preparing her for a life outside the castle walls. At least it did until she laid eye on the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. With the appearance of the Dark Mark and her new professor, Ivy seems to be thrown into a darker world, one her entire family has been trying to hide from her.

Pain followed Katherine Travers. trickling like blood into her palm, whether falling in rivulets or streams it was always there, waiting to pounce, to sink its teeth deep into her neck. It followed many of the Pureblood children; Some embraced it, like Rabastan Lestrange, turning into a cruel twisted man, ready to continue the cycle, to let it loose on his children. Some accepted it, like Narcissa Black, who obeyed her Husband even though it was not who she truly wanted to be with. Some hid from it, like Regulus Black, who used his brother's shadow like a shield, until the shadow turned into a spotlight, and he couldn't hide anymore. Some Ran from it, Like Sirius Black, who escaped the sharp claws of his parents only to shove the people he loved in the way, saving himself at a high cost. But the reoccurring factor was that it always caught up to them. Rabastan made it there like a race, running to the cruelty and the cold of being a pureblood. Narcissa was dragged there as her words and protests were drowned out by her husband's shouts. Regulus drowned in the burdens of who he had become and what he had done to avoid the very thing he was. Sirius fell, and from where he had climbed out of the reach of his parents, he went sweeping under until he was stuck. But Katherina Astraea Travers didn't have to run, or fall, or drown. She was already there. WARNING: Mature content such as Violence, eating disorders, foul language, abuse, underage use of alcohol/drugs, Sexual assault, Rape, and Maybe (will label if so) Smut. This story focuses heavily on Pure Blood children, and their various stories/why they ended up the way they did.

You know when people say how it's like love at first sight when seeing their love for the first time? You look him in the eyes and know he's the man of your dreams. Bullshit! There's nothing that would ever change my mind about the so-called love of my life! Sure, the first time I saw him he was annoyingly handsome with his proud demeanour & defined cheekbones. That penetrating look of his made my knees weak. With shiny black shoes and a Dracula coat with a hairstyle as shiny as his Santorini black jaguar. But the first thing I thought when I saw Reed Ramon Hook the third was, what a twat! A proud rich dipshit who thinks he can own everything. No one could ever say no to this noble twat! You may wonder why I roast the love of my life. But is there anyone who has the permission to do so it must be his own omega, right? Yes, I forgot to mention how this perfect dipshit to a hunkalicious twat is the alpha of the Hookhill pack. To be honest, I had no idea what that meant. Nor did I know how a man can bend down and suddenly stand on four paws, growing a tail! It came as news to me! But the biggest shock was how it turned out that I also can warp into a beast with a furry tail above my ass! From being an unsuccessful yet optimistic guy without an income but with a sense of sarcasm, to then kind of belong to town's richest man, becoming the subject of an Alpha battle. I understand if you're confused. So was I! But let me rewind the tape and take everything from the beginning. Lean back and embrace your sassiness! Because sassiness rules and is needed when dealing with a twat! Heads up! This book contains mature themes like smut, mpreg, violence & bad language. It addresses important topics like rights & gender. I want to highlight these themes but don't intend to devalue anyone stereotypically. It's a fictional story intended to entertain but with important topics. Trigger warning for abusive-like violence and oppression, mainly towards the end.
