Summary
"Don’t get caught, Reg had said, all the way back at Aunt Druella’s funeral, hugging her and begging her to be careful. And what’s the best way to not get caught? To have your cake and eat it too?
Well. You got to be the one doing the catching, no?"
A casual fan of Harry Potter who doesn't actually know much about it wakes up one day as Petra Calliope Black and decides to have fun.
This is not a story about heroes or good people. This is a story about entitled, arrogant, bad people who think they're in the right.

Summary
“Ariana,” her mother said, twisting her rings around her fingers, “your father wants you to live with him. Legitimize you.”
And Ariadne couldn’t help but grimace. For why would Orion Black ever want her but if his precious son had run off to be a bloodtraitor?
Ariadne Menezes lived, loved, and died. Not necessarily in this order, and not necessarily separately.

Summary
"Agnes wasn’t quite sure what had happened. She fell asleep one day, after dinner, and woke up small, screaming, powerless, her own limbs not obeying her. All felt overwhelming, and, for a very brief moment, she thought she was dying.
She’d find out, later on, that she was already dead."
Not everyone who is reborn has the most stable mental condition, especially not those who are reborn in a place like the Yagami household.
