Summary
This story revolves around Walburga Black, a young girl born into a pure-blood family obsessed with status and tradition. From a young age, she is acutely aware of the expectations placed upon her, particularly by her demanding mother, Irma. Walburga's childhood is cold and unfeeling, filled with strict rules and a constant pressure to uphold the family's legacy. Despite the harsh environment, Walburga finds small moments of joy and shows kindness, particularly towards the house-elf Kreacher, who becomes a source of comfort and warmth. As she grows older, Walburga prepares to attend Hogwarts, where she hopes to find some freedom. During the sorting ceremony, the Sorting Hat notes her ambition, cunning, intelligence, bravery, and loyalty before ultimately placing her in Slytherin. The story ends with Walburga grappling with unexpected insights and trying to reconcile her desire for genuine connection with her family's expectations.
