young & reckless

pheonix black was fifteen when her and her brothers ran away from home, never to see their dreaded parents again. the three of them showed up on the doorstep of the potter's, soaking wet and shivering as the rainy night dragged on. they were welcomed in immediately, given warm food, tea, and a much more loving family to be apart of. safe and secure, she thought.

phoenix is seventeen when her life tips itself on its axis and goes from being on track to promptly derailing in the most beautifully horrific way possible.

phoenix has always pushed away relationships. she's happy for her brothers, of course, wishing them all the best; but herself? oh no, never. chronically alone and she's fine with that.

well, until one barty crouch jr buries himself so deeply into her heart that there's no possible way she'd ever turn back from the path he's leading her down.

or the one where phoenix feels as if her life is falling apart while simultaneously falling into place when she finds herself completely entranced with the one person she deemed off limits from the moment she met him.

oh, and one other thing...

they're in the middle of a war.
