Lyra Black

The Death of The Lord Black

The family had been divided over the course of a single summer. Fearing pressure from Walburga, Sirius ran from home leaving Regulus to fend for himself.

A disowned Andromeda was expecting a child and the fear of the war was getting to her.

Narcissa was Betrothed to Lucius Malfoy and would be soon captured into a marriage.

Bellatrix would marry Rodolpus Lestrange and finally take the mark of the dark Lord officially plunging into a time of despair.

And with all this on Argtugus Black's mind he took a final breath and sighed knowing his family would all break apart. He looked up and saw his Granddaughter standing before him, ushering him to the other side.

Argtugus: Take care of them for me, I trust you Lyra.

And with that he passed.
-------------------------------------------------------

The funeral for the Lord Black was no casual occasion. Every pure-blood family in the world was gathered to watch him lowered into the ground.

Lyra: Dear Lords of Great Britain, the occasion that has brought us together today may have been tragic, but as my Grandfather and the previous head of my house I thought that the only way to honor him best is to declare this before you.

The involvement of the House of Black died when my Grandfather took his last breath. And as he is lowered into the ground know this: As long as I am the Lady of this most prestigious house. No Dark Lord or Lady, no dictator or governor, No minister or president, no Headmaster or principal will find their support with me or my house. I declare formally that any member of the house is welcome to do with their lives as they wish, but no quarrel will be allowed in the walls of a black establishment.

The person, no matter their status, who breaks these conditions will be deprived of their magic. No murder of My fellow family members by another will be permitted in any case. Our name will survive or you will be cursed to a name of none. Of no magic. So help me God, I swear this on my magic, my name, and my title.

There was mumbling in the crowd. They knew that as long as they were on black soil they had to obey the rules set out for them or they would die a most painful death.

They watched as the previous Lord was laid to rest and bowed their heads in a silent prayer to be spared from Lyra's rath should one of them kill a Black.
