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.

Cross Your Heart // Regulus Black by WrenMC510
50 parts Ongoing Mature
The Sacred 28 families are some of the most powerful wizarding lines in the world, and their purity is guarded carefully. Many a pureblood has been forced to marry for blood rather than for love, but no one takes it quite as seriously as the last of the original sacred families. They marry for status, not for love. Never for love. With the families dying out and the old traditions fading into distant memory, it's never been more paramount for the Sacred families to make powerful matches for their children. Preserving the pureblood lines and the magic that runs through them is of the utmost importance. The Black Family Dynasty is more than familiar with the traditional customs, and no one has arranged a more powerful match than Walburga and Orion Black. A Gaunt and a Black. An inconceivably powerful alliance, two of the most prominent family lines in wizarding history, finally connected. Their son, their heir, matched with a Gaunt? They couldn't be happier. Magdelyna Merope Gaunt, the daughter of Morfin Gaunt and the cousin of Tom Marvolo Riddle himself. She could never refuse such a match- no good pureblooded girl would ever dare to turn away a member of the House of Black. And with her family nearly eradicated, she has no choice but to marry. Who better than Regulus Black? The only complication? The wizarding world is teetering on the edge of a war, and Regulus is right in the middle of it. When a prophecy complicates matters, Regulus and Magdelyna have to work together to stay alive, caught up in a game that neither fully understands. A game that stretches through time, that defies the laws of life and death. When the side of good isn't completely good and the side of evil isn't completely evil, they have to find a middle ground. --- {1978-1998} Regulus Black x OFC MATURE BOOK!
