The Early Years
Chapter 2
Growing up, the girls’ lives would have been comfortable. The Black family was a fairly wealthy one, after all, named as one of the so-called ‘Sacred Twenty-Eight’: truly pure-blood wizarding families. But we can only wonder how idyllic their home life might have been as kids.
Sirius, when explaining his family tree to Harry, revealed the unsettling proclivities of other members of the Black family tree, like a cousin who tried to force through a Ministry Bill to make Muggle-hunting legal. The way the family ostracised anyone who disagreed with their views made it clear that they weren’t entirely loving, and that blood wasn’t as important as their ideals – though ironically the ideals were all about blood.
But as kids, at least, the sisters all had one thing in common: they were all sorted into Slytherin. But after Hogwarts, their stories would take very different routes.
