The wizarding world has already decided who {y/n} Black is. A monster. A mistake. The daughter of a name built on darkness. But the people who truly know her see something different. To Mattheo, Theodore, Draco, Blaise, Lorenzo, Sebastian, Lysander, Pansy, Daphne, Astoria, Lyra and Quinn, she isn’t the girl whispered about in the corridors—she is family. Their protector. Their home. Until two funerals change everything. The deaths of Flora Fontaine and Emmeline Darke leave behind a silence none of them know how to survive. Grief turns into anger, love turns into distance, and the family they built begins to fracture beneath the weight of loss. As {y/n} disappears into her own darkness and Mattheo burns with rage he cannot control, the group must face the hardest truth: Sometimes the people you love most are the ones you struggle to save. And sometimes the world creates its own monsters before they ever become one.
