RCL's POV
Rodolphus entered Black Manor alongside his parents, being let in by the family House-elf that didn't even ponder to ask his Masters' permission first because of how many times Rodolphus would come for Sirius without needing to bother anyone.
Since Lord Arcturus's death that he had stopped being invited over and, consequently, he had stopped coming unless to pick-up Sirius to bring him to Lestrange Manor. After the warning from Miss Malfoy over Lord Orion's disgust of his own son in the New Year's Malfoy Ball, Rodolphus finally understood the why that had been.
"Lord Jeremy."
"Lord Orion." Father agreed as they finally found the Black Lord. "We need to speak over the engagement of our sons."
Lord Orion raised an eyebrow.
"Has your son finally passed his phase and has decided to wed Bellatrix instead? As he should have in the first place?"
Rodolphus' lips thinned.
"Your firstborn is a male Natural Bearer. He'll never be able to have children with a Witch."
"I won't have my own son turn into a thing!" Lord Orion snapped at Rodolphus.
Rodolphus sneered.
"Then refuse him as a Black." Rodolphus snarled.
"What?"
"Sirius is a Natural Bearer. He'll always be a thing in your point of view. Either accept that he has to have female terminology: that he is a «Miss». Or refuse him from the Black Family."
"You are in an engagement with the Black Family!"
"No, I'm in an engagement with Sirius Black!" Rodolphus retorted.
Lord Orion opened his mouth to degrade Rodolphus' choice yet again, when a cough behind him stopped him. They looked to find Bellatrix, who was sneering up at her taller than her uncle.
"Try to sell me to anyone ever again and I'll do one like my twin and I'll refuse the family name, Uncle."
Lord Orion stared at her horrified.
"That's an outrage!"
"She is still my daughter, Orion." Mr Cygnus Black, Bellatrix' father and Lady Walburga's brother, retorted.
Lord Orion went to open his mouth again when Father stepped before him warningly.
"You have two choices: accept that your son Regulus is your Heir, what he always should have been, and that your son Sirius is a male Natural Bearer and is engaged to Heir Lestrange what makes him Heiress Lestrange." Father said in a cold warning tone and the Black Lord looked ready to snarl at him as well. "Or you can refuse Sirius his Family name, like my son just said, and until your death the Lestrange Family will stop having deals with your family since we will take my son's fiancé in and wed them as soon as possible."
