    Summary

    Regulus Black survives his adventure in the cave and brings the locket to an unlikely ally: his estranged older brother. The ex-Death Eater strikes a bargain with Dumbledore, cooperation in exchange for his family’s safety. Sirius Black is faced with his toughest mission yet: managing Walburga and Orion Black—who, to his surprise and dismay, decide they rather enjoy having both of their sons back, and very quickly scheme to make this temporary family reunion permanent.

    Or: the story of how one night completely changed the course of the war and Sirius's life.

    Summary

    “What is it that you are doing, Malfoy?” Potter asked, his voice cutting the silence like an icicle.
    Draco looked up from his hands and stared at his face, “Harry, please, not tonight.”

    It took Harry a second to register what Draco had said. His hand was throbbing way more than it did the first two nights of detention.

    Harry walked over to where Draco sat, and without saying anything he just sat on the ground, letting his head rest on the cold stone below the windowsill, closing his eyes.

    ——

    Or, Harry finally notices that Draco may not be the prick he saw him as and may be saying and doing the nasty things he does because he is made to… aka Harry and Draco keep meeting in the dead of night, Draco opening up about not wanting to be a Malfoy and wanting to escape… we love a good Black escape from a toxic home
    Was supposed to be a short one shot… but here we go 21k words…

    Summary

    The Most Noble and Ancient House of Black's public motto is Toujours Pur, always pure. But it's the private motto that sees Lord Black free his grandson Sirius from Azkaban, that sees Harry Potter raised in the Black ancestral home of Ravenswood, that changes the Wixen world forever: Familia Primum, family first.

    Summary

    A single flap of a Butterfly's wings can cause a thunderstorm on the other side of the world. Or, rather, a single interpretation of a phrase can save a whole lot of people, especially if that interpretation is made by a particularly stubborn house-elf.
    ***
    Arcturus Black III says the wrong thing (or maybe the right thing) to his house-elf, and this changes the future of his family and the Wizarding World.
