Hello, so, I have a very funny fact for me over here...
See, the male line of the Blacks is extint. If we say that the Blacks have sort of this inheritance laws and stuff that some fics (like mine own, The Fragile House of Black, The Black Legacy, etc.) have, then lets review the Blackfamily line from PN. Black
Note: This has all been done by memory. I absolutely love the House's tree
Well, the House is quite old, so I suppose they'd have male preference, so:
Phineas Nigellus had five children, and four were sons:
Sirius II, Phineas, Arcturus II, Belvina and Cygnus II.
(Note: Remember Arcturus, he is quite important)
Sirius II's line
-Sirius married Hesper Gamp, they had 3 children:
--Arcturus III, who married Melania Macmillan and they had 2 children:
---Lucretia, who married Ignatius Prewett (Molly Weasley's uncle)
---Orion, father of our Sirius and Regulus, married Walburga Black (2nd cousins)
----Sirius Black III
Disowned, (0 wifes, 0 children)
----Regulus Arcturus Black (never married nor had children, died young)
--Lycoris, who didn't marry nor had children
--Regulus, who didn't marry nor had children
Sirius' line disappeared as of 18 June 1996, unless Regulus, son of Arcturus, had any unknown offspring (which is unlikely)
-Phineas
Disowned
Arcturus II's line (take a look, it may seem irrelevant, but look at this...)
-Arcturus married Lysandra Yaxley, had three daughters:
-Callidora, who married Harfang Longbottom (a possible great-uncle of Neville)
-Cedrella (disowned for marrying Septimus Weasley...She is the mother of Arthur Weasley)
-Charis (married Caspar Crouch)
For me, Arcturus line is quite irrelevant and useless at one point, but this line, ladies and gentleman, basically saves the House's bloodline.
-Belvina (married Herbert Burke, had 2 daughters and 1 son)
Cygnus Black II's line (my favourite line, honestly)
-Cygnus Black II, married Violetta Bulstrode, had 4 children:
--Pollux Black, married Irma Crabbe, had three children:
---Walburga, married her 2nd cousin Orion, had two sons
---Alphard, disowned (0 wifes, 0 children)
---Cygnus Black III, married Druella Rosier, had 3 daughters:
----Bellatrix, married Rodolphus Lestrange. Had an illegitimate daughter, Delphini, with Tom Marvolo Riddle, aka Lord Voldemort*
----Andromeda
Disowned, had a daughter and a grandson
----Narcissa, married Lucius Malfoy, had one son, Draco, and a grandson, Scorpius
My point is...
(You are very patient if you ended up here, thank you so much for reading, it means a lot ❤️)
So, Sirius' line is extinct as Sirius III and Regulus were the last ones, Phineas was disowned, so we go to Arcturus II's line (hence why he was important)
Why we go to his line?
There are zero males alive carrying the surname, and the only males are children of disowned people (like Teddy).
So, Arcturus had 3 daughters. The eldest Callidora, had a son and a daughter, but as we know nothing about them...We go to
Cedrella's line. Yes, she was disowned, but...
If we dont count that detail, the rightful heir is...
Arthur Weasley 👀
If we count that detail, then we go to Charis, who had a son and two daughters, unknown fates, so we go to Cygnus' line...
Then to Pollux Black...
Cygnus Black III...
We go to Bellatrix...
Then Delphini* who is illegitimate, so no thank you... (love you Delphi, but sorry not sorry...)
Then Narcissa, then Draco, and then Scorpius...
My point: It'd actually be Arthur Weasley 🤨
Also, yes I love the House of Black a lot. This took...let me count...
Exactly 29 minutes
THANKS FOR READINGGG
With love, my door is ALWAYS open if you wanna talk about the Blacks (pliz do...),
