XXV. Discovered
"What do you mean I really do have an aunt in Azkaban?" Draco asked, horrified. He had thought that Professor Moody had been lying – after all, why would any member of his family be in Azkaban?
"I mean exactly what I said," his mother replied shortly, obviously uncomfortable with the topic of conversation. "She's been there since the Dark Lord's downfall."
"But no one in our family had anything to do with the Dark Lord!" Draco cried. His mother shook her head.
"No, Draco. My sister was a Death Eater. As were her husband and brother-in-law – and your father."
Draco felt his blood run cold.
"Father was a Eater?"
"Yes, Draco. You did hear me correctly."
"Why did no one ever tell me?"
She didn't reply and he felt like screaming. He had never believed that all his gloating would actually turn out to be the truth.
