HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation
Chapter 15 Grimmauld Place
The next morning, Lawrence sent Sirius and Regulus back.
When the two brothers returned to Grimmauld Place, they did not see the quarrel they had imagined. The whole old house was still as gloomy and depressing as before.
"Master Sirius, Master Regulus." The house-elf who suddenly appeared bent down and said, but his tone towards the former was far less respectful than that towards the latter.
"Where's my mother?" Regulus asked the elf who had raised him.
Sirius and Regulus felt a little relieved knowing that Walburga was in the living room.
Very good, everything seems very peaceful, at least in the old house.
In Sirius' room, Regulus was thinking about this carefully.
"No, I need to go find Andy." Sirius suddenly spoke up, startling Regulus.
"Are you kidding me, Sirius, now? What's your excuse for going?"
"I can't just watch and do nothing." Sirius stopped walking. He had been very calm last night and even in the morning, and did not show any special nervousness or worry. But ever since he stepped into Grimmauld Place, he felt as if there was an unknown anger surging in his body, and he could not stop this unknown emotion from controlling himself.
"Come to think of it, Bella may have just warned Andy. As long as Andy gives up that unknown gentleman--" After thinking about it all night, Regulus thought there was still room for maneuver.
"Remember what I told you yesterday? Do you think Andy will change his mind? If the marriage partner is Travers?"
"Of course I remember—wait, what did you say? Travers? And Andy? Not Knott?"
Of course Regulus remembered what Sirius said, but these things were still a little far away from him after all, he hadn't even received the notice.
Even if he didn't like the marriage partner, he would find an excuse to cancel the marriage. It was not difficult and it was normal to cancel the marriage among pure-blood families - as long as the other party was not a brainless troll. But he didn't expect Andromeda to marry Travers.
"Nott, of course Nott is a good choice, assuming he is not a thing of the past. The matter between Andy and the Travers family has not been finalized, but Cygnus and Alimo Travers have discussed it. At the next Black or Travers party, all the pure-blood families attending will know about it."
"But why—no, how did you know?"
"Of course Travers's offer is better. Andy told me that. It's not important." Sirius thought about how he and Regulus had reacted the same way when he learned about it from Andromeda that day. "Just think about it. Cole Travers, the short guy who only knows how to eat and can't even hold a wand, is going to marry our cousin Andy, who got ten Os in OWL!"
Sirius became more and more emotional as he spoke. Andy was the one with whom he had the best relationship among the three Black sisters. She could understand his thoughts and even hated the theory of bloodline and the idea of pure-blood supremacy as much as he did.
"I'm sorry, is that the Cole I know?"
The Travers family is not a good place.
Regulus had once gone to a banquet with Walburga, and Cole Travers had never shown up during the entire event. The wizards who went to school with him all looked down on him, and his father, Alimo Travers, was just a man who took advantage of his pure-blood status to fool around.
"Yes, that's Cole Travers, the one who drank potions secretly and ruined his brain." Sirius's expression turned strange when he thought of this.
Merlin, even if his brain wasn't damaged by the potion, he himself was...
Sirius sneered. Potions? Someone who drinks potions casually... Ha, should we say they are worthy of being the child of siblings?
Regulus was truly silent. He was surprised because he didn't know that Andromeda and Nott's engagement had expired. He had held onto a glimmer of hope because Nott was one of the best pure-blood families to marry into—he had money, power, and strength.
So what was Uncle Cygnus thinking? Giving up a great marriage partner to marry Travers? Did a troll eat his brain?
"I really doubt what the point of such a marriage is, to ensure a pure-blooded offspring with impaired intelligence?" Regulus gave a sarcastic smile.
"Dear Leir, I'm so glad you think so—"
"I just hate Travers, that's all."
"But you're no longer the same as before, are you?" Sirius persisted. He could feel that Regulus's deep-rooted thoughts were beginning to waver.
"Don't worry, I won't have any thoughts if you marry Travers." Regulus couldn't stand it anymore.
"Maybe." Sirius disagreed. Walburga was not like Signus. He knew that Walburga had great expectations of him even though he had been resisting her all these years. Walburga would not let him marry someone casually, but Walburga's words did not count in this matter.
"So, you mean Andy will definitely be with that stranger?" After a long time, Regulus figured out Sirius's reaction. If Andy really wouldn't give up that person, then he could only...
"It won't be Travers anyway."
If that was the case, "Does Bella know?" Regulus asked again. If he didn't know, he could explain it as they were just cousins and he was young so generally no one would tell him, but Bella would not be kept in the dark for long.
"Bella? Are you saying that you want to let Bella know about this and use her to break up the engagement?"
"That's right." Regulus almost applauded his brother for his cleverness. He still had some brains.
Sirius thought about it and realized that it was true. Bella always looked down on people without strength, especially this person was Cole Travers, her sister's marriage partner. With Bella's madness, as long as Andy showed her unwillingness, Bella might not pursue other things too much. Based on the relationship between Bella and the other three sisters, as long as they knew about this, the engagement would not be successful.
It's no wonder they are so confident about this. Bella doesn't like Malfoy, but Cecilia does. She has never said anything about Malfoy in front of Cecilia, but Travers is different. They have heard Bella scold this fool who insulted the pure-blood more than once.
Sirius was looking forward to seeing that scene. Now as long as Andy agreed to the plan, what happened next would have nothing to do with them.
"How can you be sure that Andy will do what we want?" To be honest, Sirius wanted Andy to be happy.
"Oh, she is a Black." Regulus curled up the corners of his mouth. Black would not refuse something that was beneficial to him.
