Argus Fawley, a paranoid Ravenclaw genius, grew up with the Black brothers and thought he'd seen it all. But after Sirius's great escape, Walburga cooked up a devilish plan: make Argus the perfect replacement. The offer? Power, the Black name, and marriage to the elegant Narcissa. The price? His freedom, identity, and soul. Trivialities, really.

There are just two problems: his brothers.

Sirius, the Gryffindor with a saviour complex, is determined to "rescue" him. His method? Chaos, adrenaline, and a complete disregard for the word "no."

Regulus, trapped between honour and loyalty, desperately needs a way out-and he's the main reason Argus can't just do a runner.

Caught between two sides of one mad family, with a reputation as a budding dark wizard and the Marauders at his back, Argus is spiralling towards ruin. The worst part? No one has a plan. Which is, frankly, completely and utterly fucked.
