A/N: If there one thing I love doing with fictional characters, it's exploring their names and the meanings and connotations that can go with them. It really quite remarkable how characters usually match up to their meanings so well... Major kudos to JK for using an unusual source of names that still provide plenty of interpretations! Looking at the stories behind stars has been fascinating... You have no idea how tempting it was to expand this to other HP characters with celestial names.
The Hunter – Orion BlackHe had always liked to feel like he was the one in control. Always. He was the hunter, pursuing those who rejected his family's pureblood ideals and tearing their lives apart. How could they say such things and expect to get away with it? Purebloods were the only wizards who should be allowed, end of discussion.
But he began to lose the sense of control when he married Walburga. She was the powerbroker, not him. Sirius, then Regulus, both the boys brought hope to Orion, hoping he could live through them.
But he never could, and he found them slipping away from him forever. But he was the hunter, he would hunt down those who caused this loss.
A/N: Orion is a constellation in the equatorial region that represents the hunter. He was boastful and eventually ended up stung by a scorpion. He also had two hunting dogs, Canis Major (which holds the star Sirius, by the way) and Canis Minor
