Aunt Bellatrix and Lexie are fighting each other for the craziest title.

Father broke out of Azkaban.

Privately Celestia is Celestia Nott Nèe Malfoy.

I have no idea where Sophia is.

Before Sophia ran away, while father was in Azkaban, it was announced who the triplets were betrothed to, the person they were due to marry next summer. Roxie is betrothed to Blaise Zambini. Draco is betrothed to Sylvie Riddle Grant. Sophia already knew her betrothed but we all found out it was Tiberius Yaxley. I think he is part of the reason she ran away. 

Sophia left a note again for Me and Roxie when she ran away. I will now analyse the note.

“Dear Roxie and Leo,

I'm sorry but I have to leave and I'm never coming back ever again.”

I told Skylar this part of the message and she said this wasn't true, that i could win her back and convince her to come back.

“You don't have to do what they say. Just hold onto your beliefs.”

That's easy for you to say Sophia. But we aren't brave like you. I'm not brave like you. I can talk back to adults like you. I can't even talk to adults anymore. I'm not you. Roxie's not you. We aren't you. Holding our beliefs won't stop them from making us do things.

“I'll see you at school. “

That's if we survive the summer.

“I love you both.
Sophia”

I love you too.

Many of Draco's, Sophia's and Roxie's classmates were forced to become death eaters after father came back. They all came to our house and I heard the screams as they were given the dark mark. That will be me next year. I wonder how it feels to get the dark mark. Is it worse than our punishments?

The students to get the dark mark this summer were:
~ Skylar Slytherin 
~ Lilith Snape
~ Roxie
~ Draco
~ Sylvie Riddle Grant. 

The students who already had the dark mark are:
~ Jazz Potter (got it at Christmas)
~ Natasha Weasley
~ Celestia
~ Heir Warrington
~ Comet Black

After the dark mark ceremony, all the children of death eaters who hadn't run away or got  married were forced to have dinner together. The ones with the dark mark were meant to convince the ones without that they should get it so there wouldn't be anymore runaways. This did not go to plan. The whole meal was chaotic and loud. But Skylar got me my muffled ear muffs so I was ok.

Draco and Skylar kept fighting.

Eileen and Lilith were sending glares at each other across the table, refusing to talk to each other.

Skylar was also fighting with Slyvie because was revealed to the death eaters as the dark lord's other daughter and because Slyvie was acting like the dark lord was a god.

Fauna was trying to stop physical fights
happening between Skylar and Draco, Eileen and Lilith and Skylar and Slyvie.

Roxie was upset about her love for Hermione again. Skylar told her to get over her, she's not the right person for Roxie.

Star was messing around with some boxes.

I was the only one actually eating but that soon ended but Eileen started a food fight right in the middle of the meal. Draco ran off after getting pie in his hair.  Skylar stood in front of me and Roxie. So it ended up being everyone but Fauna against Slyvie and Lilith. Fauna tried to stop the fight. It was surprisingly fun.
