BT

Few months after Sirius Black is sent to Azkaban and Regulus vanishes, Walburga Black consumed by grief, rage, and obsession with pure-blood legacy discovers she is pregnant. The father is never named; some whisper it was a brief, joyless union with a distant cousin, others say it was the result of a dark ritual meant to “preserve the line.” Walburga does not care. She sees this child as a final chance to shape something perfect, something untainted by the “betrayal” of Sirius and the “failure” of Regulus.
