Summary
Things had changed for Fred. It wasn't even just that he was an official drop out. Or even that he had started his own business. Or even that said business was about to open their doors. It was how Sirius was dead. It was how his baby sister and brother and their friends broke into the ministry. It was how the Prophet finally published Voldemort's return. It was the dead cold fear in the eyes of wizards and witches he saw in the streets of Diagon and how parents cracked wilting smiles at their children. It was everything that happened.
Things had changed for Lottie, and things would continue to change. She knew that time only marched forward and each step took her closer and closer to her doom. Not that she wasn't already (doomed, that is), being trapped in the house with her dying father and caught in the turmoil of political tensions of the wizarding world. There was little hope for her survivability in a war, if and when it broke out. Especially considering her only safety net was on the verge of death. Her upcoming inheritance as Lady of the House was no longer an obligation. It, along with whatever horrible future Fate had determined for her, was an inevitability.
