Summary
Arcturus Black is born on a cold evening in 1901, the grandson of one of the most powerful lords in Wizarding Britain. He is taught all his life that he is superior by virtue of his birth and his blood, and he believes it. But the Wizarding world is forever changing, as is its relationship to the Muggle world, and Arcturus’s childhood will be forever entangled with the politics of the adults around him, and the fear of change which has become ingrained within wizard society.
(Warning that this includes discussion of intense pureblood ideology and internalisation of this by characters.)

Summary
As the daughter of Sirius Black, Aurora has a big legacy, one she doesn’t want to carry. Half the Wizarding World call her father a Blood Traitor and the rest call him a Death Eater. She is forever judged by her father and by her name. Raised by her grandmother Walburga, then her great grandfather Arcturus and then her great-aunt Lucretia, she’s always been conflicted about her father, as everyone tells his story slightly different. But when she goes to Hogwarts, Aurora is determined to be known as a Black, but not as Sirius Black’s daughter. One way or another, she will prove everyone wrong, straddling the fine line of morality and blood in the Wizarding World.
