"I know you love our home and the life that we live in it, but since you’ve moved into the Manor I started noticing how you’d avoid certain parts of it or start walking faster as you approach them. Hermione, it’s my childhood home and it’s where my mother told me how to do simple spells, taught me how to fly my first broom, and how to play the piano... I have so many good memories there. But it’s also where my father - and later on my aunt - would beat me up and torture me mentally, "to make me stronger’ they said. It’s also where the Dark Lord stole the last few bits of my innocence and adolescence."
