Chapter 1 - Not For The Want Of Power
Isla may have been one of the four children of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, but that was a title that she had been given, not one she really wanted. Not to say that she didn't like being a pureblood. There were many benefits in the Wizarding World that came with having a certain blood status, especially one as pure as the Blacks. However, she didn't like the unquestionable power that came with her name. Others would have thought her crazy for harbouring such thoughts, which was why she never voiced them. She obeyed her parents and continue her etiquette classes, training to become the perfect pureblood wife.
But Isla never wanted that. Isla wanted to be free, to live a life without expectations and gossip and prestige. She just wanted to be normal. So when she went to Hogwarts and was finally away from her pureblood and prejudiced family, she began to rebel. She knew her parents would be disappointed in her choices, probably even mad, but she didn't care. She was finally free from their clutches. And after Hogwarts, she settled down with a muggle named Bob Hitchens, happy she would no longer be a Black and giving up the power she never wanted.
