Drabble: Bequeath
For hp100's Grimmauld Place challenge. Whether I'll get around to posting it there too remains to be seen...
Title: Bequeath
House: Ravenclaw
Words: 100
Characters: Uncle Alphie, Sirius
Challenge: 12 Grimmauld Place
Alphard Black didn't recall a time when Grimmauld Place felt anything but cold and macabre. It had certainly never been a home.
"I'm leaving," his eldest nephew had told him from the age of eleven. "As soon as I'm of age, I'm gone. I don't want anything to do with them." Only Alphie considered the lack of the boy’s own money.
When he composed his will, Alphie thought of the vault of gold he'd leave behind and his quill didn't even need to pause on the parchment.
Sirius Black.
He could almost feel the burn of his name disappearing already.
