His family- his little sister and his cousins and nephews -they meant everything to him. And his mother threatened to disown him, to have his whole family ostracize and shun him, because she didn't approve of him carrying on a relationship with another male. And his little sister, she died soon after we broke up. If I hadn't broken it off, and he had been banned from seeing her, he wouldn't have been able to see her in her final days. I am not stupid, Sirius. I could not have lived with myself if I had thought I had ruined his life in any way. I am willing to sacrifice myself for him.
