Trouble [S.B]

22

"Sirius Orion Black, get down here right this instant!"

Said boy rolled his eyes irritatedly and grunted, he sighed deeply before rearranging his expensive suit. "Coming mother!"

"I've been calling you down for the past half hour! You better get here in the next few minutes before I go get you myself" her voice sounded shrill and Sirius wondered how she never got a sore throat, at least that way he wouldn't have to hear her for a little while.

He groaned and opened the door to his room, just as his brother did as well. Regulus seemed caught off guard for he hadn't seen his brother besides the times they were called for meals. Even that way Sirius found a way to avoid them, so Regulus was used to see his brother more times at Hogwarts than in his own home. Regulus nodded at Sirius, greeting him which only earned him a scoff from his older brother. Sirius left and made his way downstairs, Regulus still in the same spot with a saddened look.

Even after Noelle had spoken to Sirius in hopes that the two brothers could mend their relationship it seemed to have been futile. Sirius still ignored his brother and treated him like any other Slytherin, -Noelle being the exception- with indifference and disgust.

"Sirius when is your date for the wedding arriving? We need to leave soon" Orion Black stood at the bottom of the stairs, arranging the cuffs of his shirt. The man stood tall with the same black hair as boths his sons and the same grey eyes, only they seemed to have lost the light they once had when he was younger. Still, the man was handsome no doubt, both of his sons looking like clones of himself.

"I just hope that for your own good she's not a muggleborn, or a blood traitor for that matter" Walburga Black approached her husband in order to help him put on his suit. At the sight of the woman, Orion's eyes lit up.

Their marriage had been arranged like most of the ones from pureblood families. But that did not mean there was no love between the two. Of course it took them awhile to be comfortable around each other as they used to despise the other one, but once they could stand to be next to the other for more than a minute they hit it off quite well. Instead of Orion being the one who had many under his spell, it was Walburga who left many broken hearts when passing. In her youth she was one of the most beautiful girls to ever walk the Hogwarts grounds and knowing this she took advantage of it. She always had flings, this lead to her family disliking her a lot and it only worsened once she was told of her marriage arrangement to shy Orion Black. Orion used to live in the shadows and he was quite content that way, he had some friends of course but he wasn't one to stand out as much as Walburga. The boy was handsome, no denying, but his shy nature made people believe he didn't have a voice of his own. He had crushed on Walburga in secret for the longest time, so it was a pleasant surprise to find out that they were to be wed when they finished Hogwarts. Still he feared for his heart, he was aware of Walburga's tendencies to use boys and leave them once she got bored of them, he didn't want to be one of the many boys on her list. But when they were forced to spend time with each other a lovely friendship bloomed. Unfortunately it did not last long.

Orion had had the biggest argument with Walburga when they were on their sixth year at Hogwarts. Students and staff had been witness to such argument in which Orion told her that he would not stand by and watch as she did what she wanted without a care in the world when she knew they were to be wed soon, he deserved some respect and he looked like a fool to the rest of the pureblood families, he told her that if she wanted to be that way he would too. And boy did Orion stay true to his word. He started dating girl after girl, until he was happy with one of them. Amelia Weasley of Gryffindor, older sister of Arthur Weasley was the lucky girl that dated Orion Black for four months. At first he hadn't intended for the relationship to become so serious, but it did. Walburga's and Orion's wedding was almost cut off, but Orion and Amelia broke up after an argument related to purebloods and muggleborns. Amelia hadn't been able to understand where Orion's fear of muggleborns came from and after misinterpreting him, thinking he wanted muggles dead, they broke it off. He had tried to explain that he believed that muggleborns and purebloods should be taught separately because he feared another witch hunt like what had happened so many times since muggles learned of magic, sadly she hadn't listened to him and tried to understand the meaning of his words.
