The Things We Inherit: Lestrange Girl

Everyone knows the Lestranges. Their name is feared, their bloodline is ancient, and their loyalty has always belonged to the Dark Lord. Larissa Narcissa Lestrange Black has grown up surrounded by that legacy. Daughter of Bellatrix Lestrange, cousin and best friend of Draco Malfoy, and a Slytherin through and through, Larissa has never had a problem with being feared. Actually, she likes it. She's clever, ambitious, ruthless when she needs to be, and has a habit of judging absolutely everyone she meets. But beneath the Lestrange name, she's still just a girl trying to figure out who she really is. Her third year at Hogwarts begins normally enough: her friends, her family, late nights in the Astronomy Tower, Theodore Nott and Blaise Zabini the boys she's known for almost her entire life. Then Sirius Black escapes from Azkaban. And for the first time, Larissa starts questioning the stories she's been told. Not about her family. Not yet. About herself. Because sometimes the hardest thing to figure out isn't who your family is, it's who you want to become. Some things are inherited. Some things are chosen.
