Despite her great skill in reading between the lines, Lena Pettigrew has always had trouble reading lines. Her dyslexia has always been something she's had compensate for and, through hard work, she's done well in all her classes. Well, that was unt...

"A less than enjoyable birthday and Easter dinner all in one, Death Eater nonsense, and sneaking out to see my friend."
"Sounds like a blast."
"There very well could be. Walburga often blasts traitors off the family tree," Regulus said nonchalantly.

Lena grinned as a letter fell into her lap at breakfast. Lena tore open the envelope and began to read it.
