The Black's princess

Family photos and visits

Family picture day, Acturus couldn't ask for more.

Every single year the Black family took a picture, and Acturus will hang it on the wall of her bedroom.

Speaking of her bedroom, it's really pretty. The furniture is well made and traditional. With some big letters that say "Toujours pur", meaning always pure. Acturus can pronounce it perfectly, she knows a lot of French.

As Acturus put on her white glove she excitedly ran down the stairs from the attic which only has two rooms. And things weren't going well in the other room.

"Family picture day."Sirius mumbled quietly as he slowly put on his tie. The reason why the family took pictures is because they want to have good memories later on everytime they see the picture. Judging by the stern look on his parents face, how on earth is the picture going to bring his family good memories. So if the picture wouldn't bring him good memories, what's the point of taking it? Sirius thought, as he slowly went down stairs.

"Today Cygnus, Druelle and my nieces are coming to visit, so bring yourself to your best manners."Orion Black announced.

Acturus saw Sirius acting like he's going to throw up(or he's really going to but he holds it back). Acturus knows that Sirius never liked it when Uncle Cygnus, Aunt Druelle and their three nieces "Bella, Cissy, and Andy come to visit. But she did, she really enjoyed hearing about Hogwarts, talking about potions and quidditch(Acturus couldn't wait to go to Hogwarts). Acturus also loves to show her cousins a lot of magic tricks she mastered(Since her cousins always give her the books everytime they finish a year). Sometimes her parents will even let them ride a broom outside. But Acturus felt slightly bad for Sirius, she knew that Sirius hated it when Bella started to gossip and bluff about how mudbloods stink and purebloods are way better. But who cares, Acturus thought, it's true that wizards and witches are far more supreme than muggles can ever be. Even if he hates how they talked about it, that doesn't make the rest of the visit awful and boring.

Well little did Acturus know that Sirius was completely depressed right now; his morning is already horrible enough. Sirius spilled a bottle of milk, and his mother, Walburga, who always makes sure he gets punished for every mistake he made, scolded him. The worst part is when Walburga compared Sirius with Acturus and Regulus.

"Acturus and Regulus are way better children than you will ever be, can you be a bit more like them?! You are a disgrace to this family!" Walburga repeated countless times.

And now, thought Sirius, my dear cousins are coming. How nice? Can this day get any worse?

Obviously, their cousins came, who gave Acturus the spellbooks of this year, and snitched on Sirius because he stands up for the muggles.
