you’re a good family friend of the blacks. your parents always got along, and Walburga and Orion believe you’re a wonderful role model for Sirius and Regulus. you get good grades, you’re respectful, you’re brilliant at magic, but most importantly - you’re a slytherin. unlike Sirius, god the day that boy was sorted into gryffindor was the day his mother truly forgot her love for him.

the black’s parents always tell the boys to associate themselves with you. regulus did, he always made his friends sit with you, and admired you. sirius always teased him for having a crush on you, but walburga and orion would probably be delighted if you married into the black family.

sirius wanted nothing to do with you. nothing at all.

you’re at the black manor for a small gathering of friends. regulus is yapping in your ear about something or other, it’s quite sweet. he only really talks this much around you. sirius is sulking in the corner of the room, he misses his friends. he despises coming home for christmas. he shouldn’t have. he should’ve stayed with remus at school.
