"No, I want to. I just haven’t to anyone in so long that it feels strange. She was never as much into the blood purity theory as my dad was. Then, when he got obsessed with it during my later years in Hogwarts, she was feeling increasingly helpless. She tried to talk him out of it but he was so obsessed with it all. He was certain this was the best thing for the family. Voldemort was going to be the best thing to happen to us. He didn’t see that he sold his family to a monster. When I got the Dark Mark, it broke my mom. She told my dad she was going to leave him, take me with her. He panicked and told Voldemort who in turn threatened her with killing me if she attempted to leave. Shortly after, I got the permanent imperius curse. Mostly it was because I wasn’t a good soldier and he needed to control me better but she was convinced it was because of her. That it was punishment for her wanting to leave. After that she played along, trying her best to keep me alive."
