The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black

" Toujours Pur "

Why not ? Well maybe because wizard communauty is small and mixing is the only way to prevent same blood unions. Anyway ! It's not the subject of this fanlisting but the Black Family tree Tapestry. Why would it worth a fanlisting you may ask ? Well because it's only object that really shows that the wizard community isn't so big like we could imagine it. Hogwarts seems so big, with a lot of students. But The Tapestry shows us that it isn't the case. Anyway, the tapestry exists at number ... 12 Grimmauld Place

Apart from the sociologic side of the tapestry it is interesting since it is a part of every wizard, how so many wizards are interconnected ... Harry first. All connection, all his life is connected somewhere to pure blood and to the Black familly since everyone is connected to it, directly or not. Consequently the tapestry takes another dimension and another role in Harry's personal history and even, in all wizardry world ...
You may notice how The Black family had unusually short lifespans for wizards ( except Kreacher who says he has been in the Black family for seven centuries ! )

Toujours Pur

Well, links of blood are interesting. You know from where you are, you know with whom you have acquintence but having an object to show you each and every connection in your family and with other. It makes you understand how big a family can be, how a single name can be spread through a population. It impress you, than you realize who big is your family and how everyone doesn't feel the same. How strange a single object makes you think of different things ...
