C'mon, Baby, Let Me Get To You

“No courting unless it’s your promised suitor,” Orion Black says, taking a seat across from his sons.“Can we focus on me for a moment, please?” Sirius presses, pouting slightly. “Marlene’s pure-blood! And she’s gorgeous. Isn’t the point that we ‘grow our ranks’ or something? I am the only boy in school not dating.”“Your brother doesn’t date.”“And I have no intention of starting,” comes Regulus’ quick and finite reply.Orion nods, as though this should be all the convincing Sirius needs. “Remind me why?”“Have you seen the unwashed miscreants that go to that school?” he scoffs, finally closing his book.“If I may interject,” Walburga lets herself into the room, an unnerving smile on her face that has sent stronger men than her husband and sons running for the hills. “May I propose an amendment: Sirius can date – when Regulus does.”Sirius is up in arms instantly. “But he’s practically a dementor! What if he never dates?”Walburga’s smile grows even more menacing, if possible. “Then, you’ll never date.”
