alt_rachelThere are some significant downsides to strict blood purity, aren't there? You seem to have done well enough with the fertility -- did Rod mention Bella's miscarriages to you? -- but the squib risk must be keeping you up nights, especially given your own family history.
Oh, yes. Honoria told me. She told me about Inés -- the other older sister she should have had, if your family hadn't abandoned her in Spain. And the six others, the ones from your father's first wife, Valeria. Poor Valeria. I'd say Inés proved rather decisively that those six squibs weren't just her fault.
At least since they were left behind in Spain, your sister and half-siblings weren't handed over to the likes of Rookwood and Amycus Carrow for experimentation.
Does Rod know about the Sandoval squibs?
Unless you're one of the lucky parents whose baby shows magic early, you could be in for a long wait to know for sure. The minute I hear your baby's been born, I'll be able to check in the Hogwarts Book and see if there's a new Lestrange baby listed. No listing, no magic. I don't know how many people on your side knew about the Hogwarts Book -- Lucius did, and probably Antonin, since he was Headmaster. Of course, they never saw the real one, since the Order had the real one hidden for years. That's how we got hold of the muggleborn babies before your lot did.
It's back in the Head's office now, as it should be. I'm sure Vector would let me take a look, if I asked politely.
You might recall stories about Filius Flitwick being killed by Savitha Desai, because he crept into the Hogwarts Castle. That's what he was there to do: he created the false copy of the Hogwarts Book.

Honoria doesn't remember her, of course, since she was gone before Honoria was born. But I suppose you would. She was your baby sister. Until one day she wasn't.
