Bellatrix takes a moment to look back at how her life``was and how it is now, and how she has changed.

And I'm stuck in the past and I can't get out, and I know that they're like that, too. I can feel it in their blood." Andromeda reflects on her family.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry sits high, overlooking a lake in an isolated part of the countryside. ``At night, the lake looks black in the moonlight, like blood does, and the windows open like eyes with candlelight behind them. From the outside, you can circle the castle and find the windows of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff, but you will not see Slytherin. They are reached through the dungeons.

Sometimes, when I’m bored, or at another pointless Death Eater meeting, I think about that tapestry, the one in my aunt Black’s home. I remember the feel of it - it was soft, and the gold threads were so intricately woven, so perfect, it seemed.

I remember, when I was a small child, tracing my index finger along the gold line that seemed to run forever…forever, and forever, for all eternity.

She had been there for centuries, it seemed. The Dementors had fed on her, on her memories. On the stream of pain which had once flown from her wand. But they had given her something back, to hold on to, to survive. Now it was all that was left of her. It would carry her for another day - another kill.

In this story, said marriage counselor will receive a visit from the unhappiest couple in the wizarding world: the Lestranges. Much like my other stories, this is extremely OOC for the sake of comedy. I hope you enjoy it!
