You see, Cass, it isn't because of the haters. I've always had haters. I love being hated. I'm a Lestrange, it's what gives us joy.
What really bothers me is the fact I'm being hated for things I can't help. So what if I fell in love?
Sure...it's another man, but he's my better half. Or my only good half.

I never thought I could even fall in love. People have only dated me for the novelty of dating Rigel Lestrange. I've never had someone truly want me. Dream of being theirs. I dreamt of someone dreaming I could be theirs. I've dreamt of Sevv.

His love is so natural, and I shall never take it for granted.

But I took the love of a brother for granted.
Why must my half-brother hate me for being me? It's not like I suddenly became gay. I always was gay, even if I didn't know.
Yes, I have my sister, and I love Bella-Topaz with all my being. She'll always have me and I couldn't think of living without her sisterly love.
But, to be despised by a brother.
To have a brother hire a wizard to kill you...
That stung more than any silver knife.

Yes, Rigel Diamond Lestrange is a Harry Potter fancharacter. He has a long interesting story that I don't care to type out after all of that XD
