Raising Snakes

29. Black's

Arcturus was seething to say the least as he sat with his wife Melania waiting for Orion to join him in his office along with his idiotic cousin Pollux, his wife Irma and their disgusting daughter Wuberga of all people he was hating himself for doing this to his son but Pollux did give a good argument and all that quoting the family motto and everything he wished he never listened to that damn idiot who was 11 years his junior but alas it bloody well happened

The door opened and in came a sullen Orion followed by his uncle/ father in law, his aunt/ mother in law as well as his cousin/ wife hopefully soon to be ex wife if this meeting went a head like the main branch wanted it to be

"Father, Mother I have brought auntie, uncle and my cousin"

"I am your wife you ungrateful swine!"

"Says the blasted woman that abuses her very own children! I never wanted to marry you!" he sat down and glared he had said his piece in his eyes and hopefully he wouldn't have to and the cow would explain herself to her parents and aunt and uncle

"Wally is this true?" asked Pollux to her but she remained tight lipped it was a blessing and a curse for her to be honest and if he had to it would be her full name and also knowing his cousin he would use the power of the Head of the family to make her talk it was one of the magics that all Head of the Scared 28 had so then family members couldn't lie to them

Sort of weeding out the true family members if someone Polyjuiced as them and it worked out 99% of the time, he smirked

"I did nothing wrong only to teach them a lesson Father, the brats were playing up I sorted it" she nodded her head like she did it to teach them a lesson but in fact abused them

"Wulberga really? I know this behaviour and I don't think its right" said Melenia to her neice/ daughter in law

"I did nothing wrong!" she whined

Arcturus sat back and watched what he could see from his niece something wasn't right about her and he thought back as the four argued about what she had been doing Orion on the other hand was quiet, interesting to say the least normally he would have something to say he could have sworn he was a Slytherin but thinking at the moment he knew how combative his son could be, ugh so Gryffindor something the Black's have never been Ravenclaw yes and a few Hufflepuff's yes but that was about 0.01% of members but never a Gryffindor

"Daddy mummy you have to believe me I would never do something like hurting those brats well Sirius is a complete brat I must say but Reggie oh my Reggie he is what I always wanted in a child he will be the next Heir"

"He will not it goes to the first male Heir of the family so my son Orion and then Sirius" said Arcturus

"NO NO NO NO Reggie will have it the brat will have nothing! my baby will get everything I will punish that brat to an inch of his life he is the problem child not me or my Reggie"

Everyone looked at her and the way she disregarded Sirius the boy was only 6 and Regulus coming to be 4 soon how could she disregard one son in favour of the other?

Pollux looked at her in disbelief at what she was saying

"Wulberga do you really mean that? you can't make those types of decisions like that only Arcturus can and you know it, I maybe his cousin and 11 years younger than he is but even I know not to go against the Head of the family"

"Father I don't care Reggie my precious baby will be Heir and then Head of the family I will make sure of that he will follow in my footsteps he will be perfect in every way not unlike that brat"

"He isn't a brat! he is our son, our first born you are so arrogant to think that!" yelled Orion to her as he slammed his hands on the table in front of him making everyone look this made Arcturus sigh it was about time he stepped in
