   Summary

   This story depicts how Harry Potter's life goes from chores and slavery to politics and magic, and how one man's efforts to one-up his brother end up changing the future of the Wizarding World for good.

    

   ----
   Regulus Black didn’t plan to become a father. But when he discovers his brother’s godson locked in a cupboard, he does what Blacks do best: steal the boy and raise hell.

   After a decade in a coma, Regulus is far from sane—yet somehow, teaching Harry Potter (now Hyperion Black) the art of dark magic, political warfare, and revenge feels like the first right choice he’s ever made.

   Harry, meanwhile, isn’t complaining. So what if his new guardian cusses like a sailor and collects cursed artifacts? At least he wants Harry. And if their methods are… morally flexible? Well, the Wizarding World should’ve thought of that before abandoning him.

   A story of twisted redemption, Black family drama, and the birth of an heir who’ll burn the light and dark alike to the ground.
   Warning: Graphic depictions of Black family dysfunction (and Walburga’s portrait being a bitch)
