Chapter 3
Bernard frowned as he flipped through the family records. That law would be the death of him if he didn't do something. He'd decided that 4 years would be enough time for him to get rid of the law, but he hoped it was enough. I suppose I'll be doing quite a lot of research. He reached the family tree and scanned through it. Jean, his cousin, hadn't been in the direct noble line, so her family hadn't cared when she was a girl and a squib. The Notts were one of the more accepting families of the Dark, so Bernard had grown up knowing Jean. Suddenly, a voice startled him.
"Papa, where's 'Mione?" Theodore Nott looked at his father imploringly. Bernard picked him up and set him on his lap. He sighed.
"'Mione is at my cousin's house right now. Do you want to write to her?" he asked. Theo raised an eyebrow the way his mother always had.
"You mean I can't see her? Why not? When can I see her?" he spoke quickly and concisely.
"You should be able to see her by the time you go to Hogwarts. 4 years is a long time, but she'll be back soon. I promise." Bernard turned back to the family tree. "If only Merlin had just killed that bastard of an ancestor." he said softly. Theo coughed.
"That's a loo word, Papa. I think I want to write a letter to 'Mione now."
