Black Velvet

She has always been dark and she is a spy on light. Her name is Andromeda and many think that she is the eldest Black left alive but she isn't. There is another - another who is older than her by five minutes, her twin sister Cassiopeia. She holds the loyalty of all Blacks and if she calls they will answer.

oOoOo

Cassiopeia Black knew that she was dark since she was five. She is almost forty-two. She is strong, a Dark Lady wife to the most dangerous Dark Lord since Salazar Slytherin.

Few know that she is alive for her name has been lost, only her husband and her sisters remember it.

She is the one person Dumbledore fears for she wields the knowledge of Ravenclaws. The only reason Dark as they know it today is associated with black colour is her.

She has long black hair and brown eyes that seemed black because of the many years she used the Dark Magic. She never wears any colour except black but not everything is black her skin is as white as snow. When she walks shadows bend around her and it seems as if she is already dead - as if she is from another planet.

She is ruthless, she is dark, she is the Black Velvet, a hunter that hunts at night.
