Why this must be read: Because it literally is, pretty much, how Natasha's life would have gone if she'd been part of Rowling's universe. And because this fic maintains so much of the characters backgrounds/motivations while still staying true to the setting in which it is placed.
"Let us consider the facts of the situation, shall we, Ms. Romanoff?" Dumbledore says, sipping his tea. "You have defied Voldemort, and in desperation you have come to me. Perhaps you believed you could prove the purity of your intentions by sneaking into Hogwarts and harming no one; perhaps you simply wished to test the castle's defenses for your own purposes. In either case, a sincere request for help would have been more persuasive. Am I to trust you because you spared Mr. Barton's life this morning, when you have taken the lives of so many of our order?"
"Barton said you were fair. He said you would know I never got a real chance to be another person." Her eyes flutter around the room, taking in the order and serenity. Barton had been right; she might have been a different person if she had grown up here.
"Ah yes." Dumbledore leans back in his chair, steepling his fingers. "The secret daughter of Bellatrix Lestrange and Igor Karkaroff, given up to Voldemort in her infancy, trained in the Dark Arts from birth, schooled in wilds of Albania in the hopes of his return. Am I to believe that you simply decided today to become a new and better person?"
