M-31

Finally a moment alone, Father is out, Mother has company. That's why I slipped away to write actually. Not sure she even knew I was standing outside the door. Two old society matrons are here talking about children and grandchildren. I've of them asked about Bella and why she hasn't had children yet. Then one of them pointedly asked about mother's granddaughter.

You have a baby girl? I have a niece? And I'll probably never see her, just like I'll never see you again. I'm beginning to wonder why I continue writing.

What's the point in hiding I'm writing to anymore? Surely anyone who got a hold of this and read it would able to figure out who M-31 is, besides I'm married now. Mother and Father no longer keep constant watch over me and Lucius has other concerns.

I wish I could talk to you about married life. I suppose I could talk to Bella but I've never been close to her and it's obvious just from mere observation theirs is not a typical marriage.

It's not that married life is bad. We took a month long honeymoon and traveled Europe. Paris was lovely always, as was Venice, the castle of Romania were impressive especially considering so many of them were constructed by Muggles by hand.

Lucius was attentive and sweet. He spoiled me, buying me something from every city we visited.

A,

I just looked and it's been a year since I last bothered writing. I've been busy, ha, busy with all that society nonsense Mother was always forcing us to participate in. Now I do it to fill the time. It's really not all that bad, except what are we constantly having balls for? Only one in this past year could I tell you, that was for St. Mungo's which seems to constantly need upgrading.

Lucius is spends his days working on the family accounts, making "friends" at the Ministry, visiting with his Death Eater friends, and studying Dark Magic.

No baby for us yet, what's a marriage worth if I don't get a child out of it? I don't know what could possibly be wrong, but I hear it from Mother every time we go over to their house. I haven't told Lucius but I'm planning a trip to a healer to see if I can get some answers, of course it has to be done quietly, mustn't soil either family name with the shame of not being able to provide heirs.

My in-laws have moved out of the Manor, and we've moved in. I thought the home we grew up in was dismal, I was wrong. At least this place has nothing on Aunt W's. I spend most of my time redecorating as Lucius has given me carte blanche to do as I please with the house. Still no child, the healers I've seen can find nothing wrong with me, no reason I shouldn't be able to have a baby. It could be an issue with Lucius but I couldn't ask him to see a healer.

Another Christmas has come and gone, Mother and Father were tolerable other than pointed remarks about the lack of grandchildren. For the first time that I can remember Bellatrix and I commiserated as soon as they had left. I didn't realize that they had been trying and also failing to become pregnant. What does it say that you the only one not married to another Pureblood is the only one of the three of us to have children?

Though other Pureblood families have children seemingly with no problems whatsoever, obviously there are three of us, we have brother cousins. I don't know maybe we just need more time.

Andi,

And again the family shrinks. Sirius has run away to the Potters, and them being Muggle sympathizers, naturally he's been disowned and blasted off the tapestry. I always wondered how he ended up in Gryffindor while the rest of us were in Slytherin.

Well Siri may be gone but I'm beginning to see more and more of Reg. He comes over with Severus Snape and others to meet in Lucius's private office. Death Eater business, I try to stay out of it. I worry about what they're planning. If they get caught… and there's nothing I can do about it other than do my level best to keep myself safe and make plans for when we have a child and how to keep them safe.
