The most ancient and noble house of Black had always been the top pure blood house in all magical Britain in fact in most magical Europe. Unfortunately lately the house had suffered greatly from some bad behaved boys and their perverts and the great disaster of the blood traitor

Lord Sirius Orion Black the second had gathered his three sons, his eldest son and heir Arcturus Sirius, his middle son Pollux Antares and his youngest Castor Canis along with his daughter lady Lucretia Prewett nee Black and his niece lady Rhea Selwyn nee Black

"I have called you three to discuss an important subject. In fact it is a life and death situation. Our entire family history is on the edge"

"What is the matter, my lord" said Arcturus

"After what happened in the recent years I need to ensure that the Black line remains powerful"

"As it should " commented Pollux

"Do not interrupt me" he replied in a scary serious voice

"My apologies " Pollux said lowering him eyes

"I want you all to vow on your magic that what will be decided at this meeting will remain for generations"

Arcturus stood and rose his wand pointing it on his neck "I, Arcturus Sirius Black the third vow on my blood and magic that what will be decided today will remain active for generations"

He was followed by everyone in the room then they all sat on silence waiting for the lord to speak "two years ago a dear niece of mine was banished from the family and her name on the family tree was burned" they all kept their mouths shut remembering what had happened and Rhea felt tears in her eyes and her heart shattered

"And apparently both of myself and my eldest son Arcturus failed in raising our second sons as they both fell into the filthy traps very easily"
Arcturus looked ashamed while Pollux's face turned red

"And unfortunately we had two blood traitors one of them.... Was my own sister " he chocked on his words

"Therefore I will announce that every girl born to this house will be a lady of an ancient house"

All his sons' faces light up and the women smiled "Rhea and Lucretia" he called and they replied with a "yes my lord" at the same time "I expect you to teach the girls how to be ladies of ancient houses and you will start with Dorea next month. I shall send a letter to the headmaster"

"Of course my lord" said Rhea

"As you wish my lord" said Lucretia

"As for you " he turned to his sons "I want a list of every heir of an ancient and noble house who is close to your daughters' ages "

They agreed "if I may, my lord" Castor asked the permission which he was given in answer "my Dorea is already engaged to heir Potter and Cassiopeia is still on her third year at Hogwarts. I believe she is still too young for any marriage arrangements "

"Indeed " he said thinking about it "then the next on the line is Walburga I believe "

"Yes my lord" jumped Pollux eagerly "if your wisdom will allow me to say this?" Castor laughed in his mind. He knew very well so did everyone in the room when Pollux be extra polite meant he wanted something great

"You're allowed "

"I wish to my dear Walburga to be the future lady Black"

"The daughter of the house be its lady!" Sirius whispered thinking deeply about it

Walburga was a nice girl at least. She was more of a neutral one, not as wise  and lady alike as Dorea not as strong headed and reckless as Cassiopeia. She had a high pitched voice but it was alright. After all if she would be the future lady Black then his wife would need to start teaching her how to be a proper lady for house Black as soon as possible. Then he would have time to solve the greatest problem in marriage "Cassiopeia "
