[Harry Potter] The Moon Is Destined to Set in the West

[Major revisions underway. The revised version will replace this one when it's done. 2025.4.17]

"Nowadays, when you say 'the twins,' everyone knows you mean that pair from the Weasley family," Hagrid said to Harry in a hoarse voice, picking up a handkerchief as big as a tablecloth to wipe the corner of his eye.

"But ten years ago, whenever we mentioned 'the twins,' we were undoubtedly talking about Deborah Black and Sirius Black."

"...They were the brightest and most dashing people of their generation."

My sister, my love, my other half.

The traveler who will one day return home to me.

The moon is destined to set in the west.

The sun will rise at last.

Please note:

1. The female lead is Sirius's twin sister, a Ravenclaw. The focus is on family and friendship.

2. The story is firmly on the D.A.'s side. The Death Eaters are portrayed unfavorably. The gray side is neither praised nor vilified. The story aims for a happy ending, but not everyone can necessarily be saved.

3. The story follows two timelines, with the next generation and the previous generation unfolding at the same time. Events in the next generation's timeline take place after the previous generation's timeline. The female lead disappears for a while between the end of the previous generation's storyline and the start of the next generation's. She will return in the next generation's third year.

4. More to come if I think of anything.
