If Black [Harry Potter]

Another story in the author’s collection The alternate timeline for *[Harry Potter] Black, Black*: What if Adhara had only been discovered underground after Dog Dad escaped from prison? The timeline is moved forward. The Goblet of Fire has ended, Voldemort has returned, and Dumbledore is preparing to revive the Order of the Phoenix. Black decides to offer 12 Grimmauld Place, the old Black family home he inherited after his mother died but had never returned to because he loathed it, as the Order of the Phoenix’s headquarters. He and Remus are the first to enter the old house and assess its suitability, but to their surprise, they discover Adhara imprisoned in the basement: the person he thought was dead, his twin sister. The main story begins after Voldemort’s disappearance and ends only a few years later, so I suddenly realized that there wasn’t time for many of the things I wanted to write. I originally planned a bonus story about someone transmigrating after Harry started his fourth year, but it would have overlapped with another idea. So I’m opening an alternate timeline instead. I also want to explore people closer to those in the original story: people who endured years of painful loneliness and despair. And an even more obsessive and darker Adhara. (Don’t worry, it’ll still have a happy ending!) The author is a master at digging pits and terrible at filling them, so take care before jumping in!
