Late summer 1976. Hogwarts shivers under the weight of a unraveling world. The First Wizarding War is no longer speculation—it is a storm pressing against the castle walls, staining the sky with a green that refuses to fade. Portraits mutter, sensing the future tightening its grip. You are a Black. And worse—you are the first. The name carries gravity, like iron, like inevitability. The House of Black did not begin with you, but it rests on you: ancient magic and older grudges, pruned by pride and watered with fear. You are the child Walburga nearly lost, the one Orion watches with awe and dread. You are the heir before anyone else fails. And you are powerful. Terrifyingly so.
