Summary
[AU / Canon Divergent, set during the fight in the Department of Mysteries]
The jet of red light flew right over the Bellatrix’s shoulder and hit a glass-fronted cabinet on the wall full of variously shaped hourglasses, which exploded outward in a sparkling burst of light and dust.
Time itself seemed to rupture before their very eyes.
The grains glowed, catching in Bellatrix’s hair and lashes. She turned—caught in the pull of magic, then her body convulsed and folded inward, a star collapsing into itself. She crumbled to the floor in a heap.

Summary
“You never said she was your –"
"Does it matter if she’s my cousin?" snapped Sirius. "As far as I’m concerned, they’re not my family. She’s certainly not my family.”The last days of summer were spent waging war against Number Twelve Grimmauld Place. For Harry, it was a welcome distraction from the looming threat of expulsion. But in the attic, beneath the dust and decay, the past waited—silent, coiled, and venomous as a serpent in the shadows, whispering through blood.
And for Sirius, there was no outrunning what he left behind.
The past haunts.

Summary
There is an unspoken plea on Laena’s face, stark—with a singular truth upheld by the dying beat of a human heart. If you love me, you’ll do this, it says. If you love me, you’ll set me free. Please, if you ever loved me, you’ll do this. For me.
Or: Snapshots of Vhagar's bond with Laena.
