Why does Sirius inherit 12 Grimmauld Place, & everything else, when he was disinherited?

Walburga hates Sirius inheriting everything. But she hates Lucius Malfoy inheriting it even more.

Walburga thinking Narcissa's parents should've disowned her too, just like Andromeda.

Walburga being as pissed as Lobelia Sackville-Baggins about the thought of Narcissa (and therefore Lucius) getting anything.

Walburga going straight into a decline when Bellatrix's arrest and sentencing mean Narcissa is going to be the Black family heiress and taking the agonizing step of reinheriting her disowned son to keep her from inheriting anything from her branch of the House of Black, just in case he might've stuck his dick somewhere during his rebellious years and there's a bastard running around with her son's blood.

Walburga being more of a raging bigot than anyone, Voldemort included.

Walburga putting "Sirius and/or his heirs" back into the will as some kind of magical Hail Mary to keep it out of Narcissa's hands just in case Sirius has an heir of some kind---even his halfblood godson---even that is better than the house and the fortune going to a Black who's a blood traitor.

I mean, you can't really hold pure standards to families like the Potters. But a Black? Narcissa was supposed to be sacred, and she didn't; let her reap the consequences of seeing what would have been her inheritance get thrown into the proverbial mud.

And it's devastating, and it's bitter, but she thinks of Lucius' face when he realizes that marrying Narcissa meant the Black family fortune got dumped on a blood traitor and a muggleborn and their halfblood son, or on some random bastard of who-knows-what matronymity, and that soothes her long enough to sign the damn will.

Loki: He took one of those “Which Norse God Are You?” quizzes.

Frigga: Oh, who did he get?

I think it'd be really funny if Eric was actually a younger brother. So, like, maybe he's a duke, actually, but he still gets the title of Prince. Travels the sea a lot, unlike a more landlocked heir. Hanging out at this summer seaside palace while the rest of the family is elsewhere for some reason.

Bonus style of her own crown:

the "milkman" is a common figure in stories depicting a woman's infidelity and adulterous affair.

this implies that the ability to provide milk would both decrease the likelihood of a man abandoning his wife and children, as it would eliminate the need for leaving to get milk AND would secure that man's marriage, as his wife would have no need to seek milk from an extraneous source.

therefore, all men should produce milk, through various means such as:

- being a cow

- being an almond

- being a woman

- being a coconut

- being in the omegaverse

- being an oat

(list is exemplary and not finite)

Personally I find it most amusing to speculate that his father keeled over of a heart attack in front of Severus, possibly while Severus was weighing the idea of killing him, and somebody Death-Eater-esque showed up at the door just afterwards and made assumptions and Severus just . . . rolls with it.

His biggest secret prior to the meeting with Dumbledore is that he didn't kill his father and is just pretending to have done.

The whole team settles in with rapt attention, ready to roast the shit out of Roz over it via group chat, only to see. Well. It's a series of interview clips over the years. It's made up exclusively of three things. One, clips of Hollander "stealing" linguistically challenging questions that the whole team knows Rozanov hates. Two, clips of Rozanov derailing questions that are about Hollander's "representation of his community," which gossip on the street says makes Hollander uncomfortable. Three, Hollander and Rozanov commenting individually on the rivalry, with vicious comments such as. "He's of course a great player, but he'll find us difficult to beat." Such fire in Rozanov's comments are especially damning, given his whole chirp-king-schtick. The video editor, with all the obsession and perception of a true fangirl, makes sure to circle every instance where you can see the shadow of Hollander and Rozanov pressing their feet together - and in one instance holding hands - beneath the interview table. (You wouldn't see it unless you're looking for it - or unless someone circles it in red for you.)

The video finishes, and the team sits in a kind of shocked silence as the next video auto-plays. This one is a compilation of Rozanov chirping Hollander on the ice. Here, the editor has helpfully drawn an arrow to Hollander's face whenever he blushes. The editor has also inserted text overlays with comments like. "Look at how fiercely Rozanov insults his rival." And then puts smaller arrows pointing to Roz's body language, with helpful texts like "excited wiggle indicating absolute fury," and "besotted grin indicating deep hatred." The sarcasm is distressingly accurate in its point.

(Listen, the whole team knows what Roz looks like when he's chirping someone. This - this is not it. This is not it at all. This is him when he's being silly with people he really likes. What is going on.)

The video finishes, and this time someone has the presence of mind to stop the auto-play before another mind-breaking thing comes up.

Someone else, trying to lighten the silence with a joke, and maybe dismiss it all as a fever dream, says, "Montreal Jane? More like Montreal Shane, am I right?"

And. Well.

Once it's out there, there's no coming back from it.

Next, "die" does mean "day," though nominative singular is "dies," i.e. "dies irae." It could be conjugated "die" if it was in ablative or locative case, but "die ad die" would mean something more like "day to day." "Ad" is in a "to" direction and "ab" is from, i.e. "ab urbis," and ablative case is used to indicate the movement of a thing. In short, "by" is not really a way to translate "ad"; we might want "per" here? (Through, by means of, etc.)
