The Chance and the Black by welshdevondragon

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: "Alphard,

I love you. I love you. I love you. And you know I would never waste those words. I would never say those words if I didn’t mean them."

This is the letter Alphard Black is reading at the breakfast table with his sister Walburga watching him very, very closely.

Why did Alphard Black leave all his money to his errant nephew Sirius?

Might it have been because the letter he read one morning in the early fifties was from a Muggleborn?

Rated: Professors •
Summary: A long time ago, Rodolphus, my best friend, told me that our lives were like the night sky: though our lives are mostly filled with darkness, there are always points of light. I believed him because he brought so much brightness to my life.

Until he was murdered.

Now I face a hunt for revenge, memories of a lost love, and a darkening future.

Rated safely for mature themes such as suicide, revenge, extreme prejudice against homosexuality.
