Summary
Sirius Black has been James Potter's best friend since they were six years old, and Narcissa Black has been the bane of James' existence for just as long. She started out as Sirius' annoying cousin, the only one with blonde curls instead of dark brown or black, who always tattled on them and ruined their fun. She hexed them when they weren't looking, stole their good sweets, pranked the adults and blamed it on them, and always managed to get out of trouble by batting her lashes while James and Sirius were blamed for everything. James hated her. Or, well, he thought he did. But, as they grew older, those feelings morphed into something different...something James was still trying to figure out.

Regulus Black was spiraling. He was exhausted, scared, alone, and set with an impossible task, one no one knew about but himself and his house-elf. No one seemed to realize how deeply he'd retreated into himself. No one realized he was a moment away from death at all times. No one realized just how desperate for help he was. No one, but a redhead in a library who needed help reaching a book on the top shelf and wasn't afraid to ask "scary and mean" Regulus Black for help.
