Bellatrix Black 1 September 1965
MOTHER!
I have NEVER been so embarrassed in my whole life! My hand is shaking so badly I can hardly write! To had to have just SAT there while my OWN SISTER was sorted into RAVENCLAW! I almost fainted! Thank goodness Malandra and Artemis were there. I almost fell off the bench, I was so distraught! I warned you when Andromeda was 6 that I thought there was something wrong with her! I told you to take her to St Mungos! I said you should send her to Durmstrang! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! I didn't stay for the rest of the sorting; I was too upset. I can only imagine what the others must think! A Black who's not in Slytherin! She's disgraced our good name! I don't know what you and Father intend to do, but all I can do is pretend I don't have a sister here! I can't write anymore; I have a horrible headache! You'd better not mess up with Narcissa!
