Author's Note

Alright, before I publish the next chapter-I really couldn't make up my mind as to what I wanted Bellatrix Lestrange's middle name to be. If you noticed (which I do not doubt in my mind that you haven't) She has been named Bellatrix Amata, Bellatrix Armelle, Bellatrix Druella, and Bellatrix Lucretia…I do adore all these middle names…however, I think I'm finally settled on the fact that Bellatrix's middle name should be Lucretia.

As Narcissa's middle name will remain Desdemona. Andromeda's will remain Druella.

As far as I know, Bellatrix was born in 1951, and died in 1998, so this story takes place in 1998-as the last part of the last book took part in 1998. I think I am going to disregard the epilogue, as most fan fiction writers prefer to do-although bits of it I will honor, such as who Draco married.

Andromeda was born in 1953, and Narcissa in 1955. This means that Bella's first year of Hogwarts was 1962 and she graduated in 1968. Andy went to Hogwarts from 1964-1970. Narcissa went to school from 1966-1972. This means that Bellatrix was 28 when Hermione was born in this story. It also means that she was 29 when the second child, Keaira was born-and 34 when the last was born. Narcissa was 25 when Draco was born.

Therefore, at the time of this story, Bellatrix died at 46 going on 47. Andromeda was 45, and Narcissa is 43.

Alright, that is all.
