Summary
Centuries ago, the Black family made a pact with something ancient — a god without name, buried beneath the house in pieces. Magic sealed it. Blood fed it. And over time, even the family forgot.
But Regulus Black remembers. Or what’s left of him does.
He returns from the dead tethered to one fragment of that god, starving and unraveling. James Potter can’t stay away. Sirius can’t destroy what’s already inside him. Peter hears the pieces waking. Remus feels the house begin to shift.
Rooms warp. Dreams bleed. The god is stirring again.
And when it rises, someone will have to bleed to stop it.

“You came here thinking this place was safe. But you think the house itself might be part of the god’s grave.”
Regulus nods. “If I’m right, then we were raised on its bones.”
Sirius laughs. Not because it’s funny. Just because of course. Of course.
“Brilliant,” he mutters. “A cursed god buried in the basement. How very Black of us.”
