Hippolyta (Lyta) Lestrange was born into the Noble House of Black, seemingly unplanned and unwanted by her parents Bellatrix and Rabastion Lestrange. However, through the daring actions of a few Black family outcasts, she was placed in the loving care of her Aunt and Uncle, Andromeda and Ted Tonks. A gifted witch with a special affinity for divination and nature, Lyta is accepted into Hogwarts but finds it difficult to reckon with her ancestry and the mysterious circumstances of her birth. Lyta finds kindred spirits amongst many of her fellow students, including Luna Lovegood and Ginny Weasley. Through their mutual love of plants, Lyta also forms an unlikely friendship with Neville Longbottom and makes it a personal mission to undo the hurt and pain that her family caused him. The strength and loyalty of her found family will be tested when threats from the past arise. Can nurture overcome nature, or will the misfortune and tragedy that seems to follow members of the Black family around like a dark curse claim her as well?
