My life was political before I ever learned my first spell.
I am Adeline Snape -
daughter of Severus Snape,
bearer of ancient, forbidden magic,
and the consequence of a curse that was never meant to spare me.
My mother died redirecting that spell.
She chose my life over her own.
The wizarding world noticed.
I grew up between foreign countries and powerful pure-blood houses,
learning early that loyalty is currency
and affection is never free.
Some truths are spoken aloud.
Others are buried in bloodlines,
in family names that history prefers to forget -
or fear.
At Hogwarts, power is not only found in spells -
it lives in alliances,
in silence,
and in the people who know exactly who you are
long before you choose who you want to be.
My destiny is not a prophecy written in stars.
It is political.
It is dangerous.
And it demands a choice.
Because when your existence can shift the balance of the wizarding world,
you do not get to ask whether you want power.
You only get to decide
who you will protect,
who you will betray,
and how much of yourself you are willing to lose
to survive.
