Nineveh

A foundling, abandoned in Diagon Alley and raised by half-bloods, Romilda Vane had never troubled about her family until she saw a face in the newspaper and had to face the truth, as a daugher of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black.

At Hogwarts in her seventh year, Bellatrix Black receives her first ever Valentine's Day cards.

In the Riddle House, Rolophus Lestrange has taken the Dark Mark...

Kissing Cousins, a novel of lust and depravity among the Death Eaters, looks set to be next year's best seller. The reputation of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black is on the line, and there's only one thing that its daughters can do about it; they're going to have to talk to one another.

1981. After Voldemort’s fall, Andromeda Black reflects upon her place in a new world and the loss of the old.

"Sit not too proudly on thy throne, Think on thy sisters, them that fell; Not all the hosts of Babylon Could save her from the jaws of hell." How had they come to this, the three Black sisters, so full of promise as they had been that night? How had each of them been so blind, so foolish, to let the others fall? A sequel to

It’s Harry’s sixth year, and another Professor Trelawney has come to Hogwarts to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts. Severus Snape confidently expects disaster. A Hogwarts/ Chalet School crossover.

Tom Riddle had loved his wife even after he learned how she had lied to him, even after she left him, even after she had died. He had thought the dangerous, deceiving world of wizardry was all behind him, but now there was the boy. His son. Tom Riddle had always considered himself an honourable man. It came as a shock to realize that here was somebody who thought that he was not.

Rabastan Lestrange had everything to celebrate that Christmas. He had an interesting job, a comfortable home and exciting political involvements. He knew that he had never had a chance with his beautiful and terrifying sister-in-law, and he was gracious enough not to resent it. The Dark Lord’s arrival at his Christmas party was a bit of a surprise, but nonetheless things seemed to be going remarkably well. He was about to get the shock of his life.

After the debacle in the Department of Mysteries, Andromeda Black receives a letter from her old Headmaster informing her that her cousin Sirius is not only innocent, but dead. Not only that, but her daughter is in St Mungo's, her elder sister has fled, and her brother-in-law is in hell. Someone is going to pay for this. A fantasy of revenge.

Draco saw her photograph in the morning paper and he remembered. Bellatrix Lestrange was Voldemort's loyal servant, the most devoted, the most talented of the Death Eaters, who had learned the Dark Arts from the Dark Lord himself, and she was Draco Malfoy's aunt. So what does her nephew think, when Professor Snape tells him that the Death Eaters have escaped from Azkaban?

Sirius Black had a cell with a view, and he saw a great deal. He saw young Barty Crouch brought in to Azkaban, wet and white, and dying, and he thought that he saw the boy buried. He saw Cornelius Fudge and the wizarding world, smug and fat and satisfied. He saw his own guilt and stupidity, everything that had ever gone wrong, the whole disastrous history of his generation. And he saw her, his cousin Bellatrix standing in front of his barred cell door, looking at him through those heavy-lidded eyes, and she smiled.

“Rabastan looked around him. The room was a wreck, furniture smashed where it had been thrown against the walls as the four of them had fought to subdue the Longbottoms. Crouch, still hovering over Frank, was staring greedily towards them, at Bella lifting her thick dark hair from her collar, at Alice horror-struck and silent, at the door where Rodolphus stood cradling the child.” Just what did happen at the Longbottoms’ home that fatal night?

Slytherin par excellence Andromeda Black had never really noticed Ravenclaws, but with Hogwarts stricken with flu and quarantine forcing the houses into closer quarters she finds them objects of increasing fascination, especially one Ted Tonks. In a game of "Truth or Dare" Andromeda learns more about what it is to be a Ravenclaw, and some interesting facts about her own family into the bargain. James Potter really shouldn’t have challenged Bellatrix to play....

Alice Longbottom had always been like that; kind, gentle, but a little conservative, a little complacent, a little smug, a little too ready with her curses. She deserved taking down a peg or two, and Andromeda knew that a Black was the one to do it. Whoever said Sirius's favourite cousin was the nice one?

While shepherds washed their socks by night, All using Scourgify! Barty Crouch's wife is run off her feet organising the children's Christmas concert, while young Bellatrix Black is terrified at the prospect of her solo. Andromeda has told Sirius there's a lethifold loose in the building and he's determined to catch it. A Christmas special with the Black family, featuring singing, mince pies, long-suffering house-elves, a Longbottom bride and plenty of foreshadowing!

"The Dark Lord will rise again and will come for us, he will reward us beyond any of his other supporters! We alone were faithful! We alone tried to find him!" Four conspirators plot in the firelight. One brother urges caution, the other pursuit, and a boy is mad for his reward. All three know that the final decision will not rest with them, but with the dark-haired woman with her eyes half-closed who listens as they dream.

Two patients in the hospital wing discover a unexpected sympathy in one another as Narcissa Black and Remus Lupin find themselves on the same ward. A Slytherin and a Gryffindor, a pure-blood and a half-breed, a sensible girl and an annoying little brat; when you've nothing to read but Hogwarts: A History, it's surprising what subjects can come up in conversation.

A harassed young witch has new clothes to buy, a screaming baby to contend with, half the family in prison to worry about, and the Dark Lord to restore to power. Thank goodness that Alice Longbottom is in Diagon Alley to lend the young Mrs Lestrange a hand.

Every day sailors off the coast of the British Isles listen to the Shipping Forecast on the radio, and oddly enough, sometimes so does Albus Dumbledore. He listens to be reminded of those he failed; those who died and those he doomed to Azkaban. He remembers Tom, Sirius, and above Bellatrix who he pushed into the dark, into that desolate and awful place three hundred miles out in the cold sea.

Discontented at the hypocrisies of the Ministry of Magic, the young Bellatrix Black resolves to learn the Dark Arts. Despite her dedication, she has little success, until one evening she meets a certain stranger ... Plus the answer to that vexing question, why is Narcissa Black a blonde?
