Bloodlines | Regulus Black

DISCLAIMER- very slow update

1978.

The wizarding world is beginning to fracture.

As Lord Voldemort's influence grows and families are forced to choose sides, Hogwarts remains one of the last places where life still feels normal. But beneath the laughter, Quidditch matches, and late-night conversations, the war is drawing closer.

Seventeen-year-old Adeline Mercer was raised far from the pure-blood family her mother abandoned. Celia Fairchild was born into one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, but chose love over blood when she married Daniel Mercer, a Muggle-born wizard. Disowned by her family, Celia raised Adeline to believe that blood could never define someone's worth.

Her final year at Hogwarts should have been about NEWTs, her best friend Rosie, and rebuilding her relationship with her cousin Daphne.

Instead, she finds herself drawn to the one person she should never fall for.

Regulus Black has spent his entire life carrying the weight of his family's name. Loyalty, blood, and duty have always come first-until Adeline makes him question everything he has ever believed.

She is the daughter of a blood traitor.

He is the son of one of Britain's most powerful pure-blood families.

And as the First Wizarding War tears friendships and families apart, Adeline and Regulus must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice for each other.

Because in a world ruled by blood and legacy, loving the wrong person could cost them everything.
