   Summary

   Sirius Black has always been too clever for the life he was born into. Too curious, too bright, too unwilling to wilt in the shadows of a silent house.

   So he reads. He dreams. He waits - for a door, a crack, a letter.

   And when that letter arrives, everything shifts. At an elite boarding school, Sirius finds brilliance, pressure, and the quiet rebellion of a mind determined to stay alive.

   OR

   A gifted boy is shipped off to an elite boarding school, where he reinvents himself, stumbles into friendship, and meets a star-obsessed boy with an annoyingly beautiful smile.
