"By then I had decided I wanted a child from you and wanted to make sure my plans were foolproof. I broke Azkaban open, and took my former master's followers, and recruited more. I wanted Potter and his Order to believe that you and I had faded away somewhere, that we were completely out of reach, to get them off our trail for a while. I let them into our old Manor to distract them while we went farther away. Let that guilt tear them apart while I prepared for battle." He stroked her hair. "They tried so hard to find you, little bird, but they didn't come in time."
