You're correct, confound it, and that's another reason to feel sick about the whole thing. Bellatrix won't have the portrait of her parents, and she won't have the ring that binds her to them. The ring that every other child at the sanctuary has, that we hope could reunite the children with families if all our hopes are fulfilled and all this cruelty is over.
And that will be our punishment, I suppose: that one day we'll have to face her and tell her why.
Bloody hell. Don't you dare make the mistake of thinking this was somehow easy for us to do, or that we made this decision in some sort of cavalier fashion. I am sure Frank and I will agonise over this for a long, long time.
