Drabble: A Matter of Appearances
Sep. 21st, 2009 02:38 pmDisclaimer: JKR doesn't mind fanfiction writers I hear.
A Matter of Appearances
Black Sentenced to Azkaban The newspaper headline proclaimed, and Walburga scanned the first line, chest fluttering. Notorious mass murderer Sirius Black was sentenced to life in the Wizarding prison yesterday evening...
Her firstborn was a credit to the family after all.
She pulled out a peace of parchment and wrote the letter needed to re-inherit her son.
With both her sons disgraced, for the right reasons, she could bear her own disgrace and wile away her remaining years knowing she raised them well.
And even if Sirius couldn't touch a knut of it in Azkaban, it was the appearances that mattered.
