I fell in love with Regulus Black the night the Black Lake froze. We were both heirs of names heavier than we could carry, born into a world that demanded loyalty over love, obedience over choice. Our families expected us to marry, and for once, love and duty aligned. But nothing in our world stays simple, not stars, not bloodlines, not a boy who smiles like he already knows he won’t live long enough to be happy. This is the story of our first love: bright, fragile, and doomed.
