A Sirius Affair
Prologue
Two witches and two wizards sat in a gloomy looking room with an official looking document on the grandiose mahogany table before them.
"It's settled then." A dignified looking wizard said shaking the hand of his counterpart.
"Yes." The other wizard replied brushing his dark hair out of his eyes in a haughty manner. "It's settled. The baby in one of the witch's arms began to fuss and she jiggled it a bit. It settled down quickly.
"She's well behaved." The other witch remarked blandly.
"Yes." The other woman said without looking up. She smoothed the blanket around the baby. "She hardly ever cries."
"Probably due to her excellent breeding." The man with the haughty eyes said.
"Yes. And this match will ensure the next generation of purebloods, Mr. Black." The other man said with a cruel grin. He looked at his wife who quickly lowered her gaze back to the baby girl she cradled. The girl looked back at her and grinned completely unaware of what was happening around her.
"Very luck indeed." Mrs. Black said sharply. She had heard rumors that the other witch had once dated a Muggleborn. Her parents had quickly married her off to an old pureblood wizarding family. In a different country…even though she had only been sixteen.
"Well. Mr. Pella, Mrs. Pella. We'll contact you as soon as the children are old enough for the ceremony." Mr. Black said and all four rose from their seats. No need to dawdle now that the business had been taken care of.
"Excellent." Mr. Pella replied, but before he could move to exit the room two young boys ran in.
"Sirius! Regulus!" Mrs. Black said sharply. Both boys skidded to a halt.
"Sirius took my broom!" Regulus blurted out nervously as all four adults looked at them stonily. Sirius glared at his brother and ignored his mother who was glaring at him. Mrs. Black opened her mouth but before she could say anything Mr. Black intervened.
"Sirius, Regulus. Say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Pella."
"Hello." Both boys mumbled.
"This is Giana." Mrs. Black said and jerked Sirius towards the baby. Mrs. Pella looked a bit startled. Sirius looked between the three females defiantly. "She's already shown magical ability." Mrs. Black said and Sirius glared at her.
"So?" He said but before a fight could break out Mrs. Pella knelt down to his level.
"She floated her favorite toy from where her father had hid it." She said and Sirius peered at the baby curiously.
"Really?" He asked and looked up at her then back down at the baby, whose hand reached out to him. He looked up at Mrs. Pella in surprise. "Her hands are little." He told her matter-of-factly. She smiled at him.
"I suppose they are." Mrs. Pella replied and Sirius smiled at her but soon lost interest as the adults began to talk amongst themselves again. He snuck out of the room.
"He seems a little rough around the edges." Mr. Pella commented frowning.
"His time in Slytherin House at Hogwarts will put an end to that." Mr. Black said with a careless wave of his hand.
"Indeed." Mr. Pella returned tilting his head. "Well, we'd better head back to the ministry so that we can catch the portkey back to our villa."
"Very well." Mr. Black said and the Pella family left to begin their journey home. Mr. Black turned to his wife. "See that the boy learns to behave like a proper pureblood." He said coldly and left the room. Mrs. Black looked around the empty with a bitter frown on her face before making her way towards the fireplace the floo powder. She would go to Diagon Alley for her daily shopping trip. She grimaced as she thought of her husband. She knew her duties as a pureblood wife and she would make sure the boys had proper wizarding pride- if she had to beat it into them or not.
