Lucretia Prewett (née Black) (19251992) was a pure-blood witch, the eldest daughter of Arcturus Black III and Melania Macmillan and sister of Orion. She married Ignatius Prewett[1], making her an aunt by marriage of Fabian, Gideon and Molly Prewett (later Weasley)[2]. She was an aunt by blood of Sirius and Regulus Black through her younger brother. There are no children of Lucretia and Ignatius indicated on the family tree.

Etymology

Lucretia was a legendary Roman maiden who was raped by the son of the king of Rome, an event which triggered the toppling of the monarchy and the establishment of the Roman Republic. She commited suicide in public protest against dishonor. The name is from the Roman family name Lucretius, possibly derived from the Latin lucrum, "profit, wealth."[3] Also, Lucrezia Borgia was a Renaissance noblewoman from a family notorious for its ruthlessness and corruption.

Behind the scenes

  • Lucretia is depicted on the family tree tapestry very much like Misapinoa Blishwick (née Black). While Lucretia is depicted with a sad face, Mrs Blishwick is depicted with a smile.
  • When Lucretia attended Hogwarts (c. 1936 - 1943) she was Sorted into Slytherin House.
  • 281 Lucretia is an asteroid belonging to the Flora family in the Main Belt. It was discovered by Johann Palisa on October 31, 1888 in Vienna. It is named for the middle name of Caroline Herschel, one of the first female astronomers.

  2. Sirius Black stated in Ch. 6 of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix that Molly Weasley was his "cousin by marriage". This means that Ignatius could not have been Molly, Fabian, and Gideon's father, as this would have made them first cousins by blood of Sirius. Ignatius was Sirius's uncle by marriage, and if Molly was his niece, this could explain Sirius's comment. See this talk page for more information.
