"I hated my family. Everything about them. Their dark taste for magic. How they loved Lord Voldemort over me. You have to understand, Harry, that I did not want to become a Death Eater like them. I had no choice. My father was raised to believe in everything Lord Voldemort taught. I promise you, I am not evil. Yes I wear the dark mark. If there was a way to get it off...I would've done that by now. I'm sorry you don't believe me. But there's a reason why I didn't mention my family to you in Hogwarts. You would've treated me like how you treat me now. Look, you don't have to protect me from my crazy father. It's your choice. However I do want you to know that I valued our friendship when we were in Hogwarts. During Hogwarts, I wished I was you. You're always standing up for others. To the dark wizards and witches. I wish I had that power you have. I get that you don't believe me, Harry. But trust me when I say this; you are everything I wanted to be. If you're that boy who defeated Lord Voldemort, you'll help me take down my father."
