*Summer hesitated for a moment, then decided she might as well. But first, she would give some background info for their other friends who might be listening. She settled back against the seat, putting her left arm against the window, her right hand scratching behind Athena's ear.*
Okay, If you are sure. Everyone can listen, I'm going to start from the beginning...
Well, as a few of you may know, Sam and I recently found out that we are related, by marriage, through long ago ancestors. The marriage that took place was between a William Westyn and a Miranda Algorith, however, their marriage was something that was to be forebodden. Back in the day, you could not marry out of your Hogwarts house unless you married someone from another wizarding school to maintain a constant lineage of Slytherins or Ravenclaws, and so on.
Obviously, mostly Slytherin followed this concept, because they were all pure-bloods with demonic values who wished that all of their offspring would be Slytherins as well. Well, William Westyn fell in love with Miranda, a Ravenclaw. Not only did they fall in love, but he got her pregnant, so they ran away to be married, leaving only a note for William's father, informing him of his marriage, and saying good-bye.
His father was outraged. He vowed to find the woman that took his son from the family, and the girl that they had chosen as his betrothed. For awhile, William and Miranda lived in peace, and were able to raise their beautiful son, Alexander. It was during Alexander's third year at Hogwarts (He was a Ravenclaw) that tragedy struck. He received word, through an anonymous letter, informing him that his mother was dead. She had recently won a prize that had her picture in the paper, under a false name, but it made no difference. William's father still recognized her. He sought out their location once more, after 13 years, and found Miranda, home alone. She was murdered later that evening, leaving William alone with a thirteen year old boy that didn't understand the reason why his grandfather, whom he had never met, hated his family.
William didn't have an answer for this, but he tried as best he could to explain the situation. During Alexander's sixth year of Hogwarts, however, his father went missing and several days later, was murdered as well. William had warned Alex that this might happen, that it was only a matter of time until his location would be found. For years after he had graduated, Alexander tried to figure out who kidnapped, tortured, and murdered his father and how a person could do such a thing.
It was believed at the time, that William's father, and his ex-betrothed had formed an alliance to kill Miranda so that she could still take William for her husband. This was later proven to be true. William's ex-betrothed helped William's father, a deatheater, kill Miranda, and she went off in search of William, who had taken Alex and moved homes after Miranda's death. When she found him however, she was filled with rage. She couldn't understand how he could love Miranda, but not her.
William fled the house (Alex was currently at Hogwarts) on his broomstick and tried to lose her through flight, but he was no match for her. She was still rather young, and quite in shape. Not to mention she was a trained deatheater now. Through a simple stunning spell, she knocked him off his broom. Sources say that he died instantly after coming in contact with the ground, a cement area that paved the town center, but this wasn't the case.
The disturbing part that had been censored out of every textbook I could find, but that Alexander's letter lead me to seek out was that Katherine, his ex-betrothed, literally went mad with rage. Her love for William was disturbing, and the fact that he loved another drove her insane. She used a camoflauge spell to turn William invisible, and took him with her to her home. She tortured him for months, using the Cruciatus curse, as well as medieval torture machinery/weapons. William died of sheer exhaustion. She never uttered the Killing Curse. She tortured him for information on his son, for him to say he loved her, for him to say he never actually married Miranda, but he never gave in.
She took his life in a series of long and painful torture sessions, that lasted for months. Alexander believed his father had died long before she actually killed him. It was when Alex was 28 years old that he discovered the truth about his parent's deaths, and exposed it to the world in that book...
*Summer heaved a sigh of relief. It had been quite a very long story.*
[[I forgot the actual name for William's betrothed so I re-named her...]]
