Lin had known Tenzin since the day she was born. It seemed that they were destined to walk the path of life together, but when one of them takes a wrong turn, the future that they were meant to have is stolen from them.

When Sirius was young, he was dumb and he made mistakes. Many of his biggest mistakes involved a raven-haired student who was even younger and dumber than him. Prequel to Gift of Black, but not necessary to read.

He was stupid. He was so stupid. If he had just thought... It was too late for that now. For thirteen years. Dumbledore, Snape and the Tonks family have kept a secret. But somebody else has learned this secret and now a family is in danger. Sirius must now face a part of his past that he's forgotten... and it is one pissed off past.
