Teddy Potter grew up with secrets shrouding him like a cloak. Forcing to hide the identity of his father, Regulus Black, Teddy begins his first year at Hogwarts, desperate to finally meet his cousin: Harry Potter. As our story unfolds, however, Teddy's secrets begin to feel less like protection and more like suffocation, burrowing trenches between himself and those who don't know the identity and continued survival of his father. In the midst of the chaos of his family life, however, Teddy also possesses a growing power which, if properly honed, could turn the tide of the war, a potential only Dumbledore seems to see.
Weighed down with his own secrets, Teddy fights to preserve his friend group:
Cornelius Fudge II: Cory to anyone other than his father, spends his time not at school crushed under the weight of his father's impossible standards, fighting for some semblance of agency in the midst of a delicate political game in which his father expects him to be his loyal foot soldier.
Iolanthe Zabini: Beautiful, enchanting, and witty, Iolanthe has always been reduced to her mother's copy, just as likely to doom a man to death in order to achieve her own financial security. But could there be more to this vivacious slytherin girl?
Clara: With a past nearly as hidden as Teddy's, Clara is the heart of the group, kind, eccentric, and perceptive, she hides a deep, personal pain, which only a few ever get to truly see.
Follow along to experience growth, love, friendship, and eventually romance with these characters who have already stolen this poor author's heart.
