Intro. The Black family was the most prestigious, below royalty when it came to power, and lived in the palace as part of the court with a large portion that was solely for them. Yes, they were lucky and Regulus Black, the youngest son of the family, did not complain, but he loved the village, walking through the stalls and getting drunk on the smell of freshly baked bread or perfumes. He was the only porcelain-skinned figure when he went with the humble people, the only one with silver eyes and skin that was not damaged by the sun, his black curls well combe.
Then there was James Potter, a young man from a poor family, strong from working in the fields and helping in the village to rebuild houses or bridges, he was the heart of the town, everyone knew him. They often paid him a pittance because it was the only thing they had, but sometimes they gave him books, he taught himself everything about the world and tried to teach the children to read or write in his short time he had nothing to do.
