Self-Introduction:
“I am Lilith. The unseen wind. The whisper in the dark. The other black cat, but unlike my twin, I do not concern myself with clipboards or snack inventories. My work lies in the shadows: rituals, enchantments, hexes, and the occasional… experiment. The Sorting Hat? My doing. The mysterious cold draft in the hallway? Also me. I am not here to be sorted into your Hogwarts houses; I am the magic behind them. The rest think they run this household. They do not see the strings I pull. Or the jars in the closet.”
What the Others Say:
Charlotte:
“She’s the reason I’m in Hufflepuff, I know it. She’ll deny it, but I’ve seen the smug little smirk when I complain. She’s a menace in eyeliner.”
Ziggy Stardust:
“She once told me my aura was ‘like wet bread.’ I don’t even know what that means. Then she burned sage around me while chanting in Latin. I fell asleep.”
Luna:
“She calls her chaos ‘research.’ I call it sabotage. And for the record, she has zero respect for meeting agendas.”
Tartiflette:
“She gave me a crystal and told me to ‘hide it somewhere safe.’ Now Charlotte can’t find her favorite scratching mat. Weird coincidence.”
Karen (a.k.a. Me):
“Lilith is that friend who says, ‘Trust me,’ right before you end up in a legally questionable situation. I love her, but I never touch anything she leaves in the freezer.”
