Epilogue

Amelie Emans Berkshire née Zabini fell ill in her late 40s, and the illness stepped foot into her 50s. In fact, it was the same illness that took her mother too soon. This illness was just as aggressive and relentless.

The Healers of St. Mungos have all said the same thing: it was the hexes done to the woman before her. A series of spells and unrefined potions were given to her mother, Onyx De Loughrey, during captivity for months on end, which brought out the illness bestowed upon her—and, now, her daughter, Amelie.

Radiation and chemotherapy were viable options to potentially rid the illness, or at least, give Amelie much more time to live. But instead, she'd rather let nature take its course.

Though, in reality, nothing about this very occurrence is natural at all. The series of hexes and potions performed and given to Amelie's mother, Onyx, enabled an aggressive form of cancer to grow rapidly and without warning.

And with the dealt cards, Amelie's luck has gone sour.

With proof that this unforgivable illness can be passed down, it seems that her daughters are at high risk of inheriting this illness. Additionally, her son may also be a carrier for the kin after him.

In St. Mungos, Healers have discussed this phenomenon amongst themselves anytime Amelie comes to the hospital for a check-up, and not for work. They've come to the conclusion that the only way to reverse this aggressive illness for Amelie and her children requires the knowledge of the hexes, potions and their ingredients, and other viable information.

How would one obtain such classified and nearly forgotten information?

D I S C U S S I O N

Ah, the beginning of my return. I have put Filthy - Rewritten on pause because it hasn't caught my attention yet. I'm very excited to start writing this fanfiction. I am a sucker for Lorenzo Berkshire and am forever proud of creating him. This also means I am a sucker for his entire bloodline. I cannot believe I'm actually going to start writing about Lorenzo's GRANDCHILDREN! Jesus, I keep pushing this further. Yolo Swag. What to expect: a grandiose and proper fanfiction with the right amount of smut and the right amount of angst. No more repetitive swearing for no reason. I've reread Filthy and Obscene and it really makes me cringe!!!
