Young, Crazy or Unhappy
A member of the Black family always died in one of three ways. It was given and a well-known fact even if the members themselves never admitted and always said it was a lie.
They had everything talent, beauty, and extraordinary skills all of them and knew how to use each and every one of them extremely well even though It was for their own good.
Some died young.
Those who died that way were luckiest in their own humble opinion they died feared and respected by everyone.
Never losing the beauty that made others jealous, never feeling the pain of old age or the loss of other things that made Blacks the ones they were. Those were the ones that always had everything that they wanted and were always on top.
There were many examples of this exact thing happening over the years and for people who died in other ways, they were the lucky ones.
Regulus Black was the and most well-known example of this. He had everything he wanted and could have lived a long and great life as his brother wanted for him if he hadn't made the mistake of joining a monster's army.
Others died Crazy.
These were the Blacks lost many things depending on the stage of the craziness.
The other lost only their mind and kept their beauty and talents or they lose all three of them prior to their death.
To them, it did not matter which happened because of fact they were crazy; they could not use those either their talents or their beauty and to every Black, this was the worst fate that could happen to them because of the fact, those were things more important to them. To Lose their mind it meant losing their ability to control not only others but even themselves and to be what they were good at everything.
To others, Blacks who lost their mind were the most dangerous beings there were. They were just as powerful those with a good mind but they did not have the ability to consider what they were doing.
The best example of this is Bellatrix Lestrange a Black by blood she had everything that family had to offer and she took all in both good and bad. She was beautiful, powerful, dangerous and of course crazy long before she went to Azkaban that prison just made her condition even worse.
The last ones died unhappily.
These ones would be considered to the lucky Black by everyone else because they were the ones that never lost their mind did not die young and did everything, they wanted but to them, they were the unluckiest of them all. They left a long life saw the people they love to lose their minds, die very young and they had to live and live after everything that had happened to them.
The best example of this was Andromeda Tonks nee Black she was the one lost the most. She lost her family for the love of her life she lost her cousin to a corrupted Ministry for twelve years and lost him again this time for good at the hands of her sister a sister she had lost long before she was really dead the same sister that is cold blood not only murdered their cousin but also her daughter. She had lost her beloved husband because of the cause they both supported and two of her family members fought for.
In the end, it didn't really matter how they lived or died what really mattered was what they with that life and the people who were left behind to remember and mourn them?
