Cassiopeia Black may prefer research to family politics, but she refuses to allow her family name to be ruined after the events of fall 1981. With the help of a routine obsessed house elf, Cassiopeia sets out to spin the Black family's largest PR nightmare in 100 years with a lot of old magic, some luck, and her Squib brother's family... the Grangers.

From the very moment he met her, he had thought she was brilliant. Her voice was kind and her eyes warm, her smile was blinding and she was ruddy well perfect. That's why he stayed away. Trigger warning for domestic abuse.
