Sirius Black and Walburga Black (no pairing)
'Climb down off your high horse and look after your brother at school!'

Probably this is not quite the scene you had in mind, but it's the one that popped into mine ;) cest_what November 16 2011, 02:34:46 UTC
His mother's yelling had exhausted itself over hours, down to a hissing, broken-voiced trickle of spite and reproach, begun and left off again almost at random. Sirius sat with his head in his hands, numbly enduring.

"... that the name means nothing to you ... spit on your ancestors like a filth-loving child." Walburga's voice was beginning to rise again. Sirius hunched his shoulders, curling his arms around his knees and letting his face press against his knee caps.

"Squandering every gift you were given, as if it were nothing to be a Black, all of your family nothing to you, selfish, arrogant - and will you never climb down off your high horse and look after your brother at school?"

Sirius jumped, lifting his face in shock. His mother's painted eyes gazed down at him, wild and dark and crazed as always, and apparently somewhat confused about time. He scrambled up from his seat on the floor, his back scraping against the cold, cobwebby wall of the entranceway.

"You never said that," he said hoarsely ( ... )

IT'S PERFECT! And tragically inevitable. And PERFECT!

Really glad you liked it :D They are the most perennially interesting family, inevitably tragic and all.

I WOULD LIKE:

Thor/Loki, with a cliche scenario of an arranged marriage. >:DDDDDD

Just between you, me and the Internet, I suspect there are probably, like, eight million of these on the kink_meme *g* Although obviously our ideas specifically are the best ideas. (Also, wow, this got kinda long for a drabble.)_____ ( ... )

For a moment Thor stared at him. He considered the idea from all sides, cautiously. Loki's mouth acquired a small, sardonic lift. "Yes," he said. "So now -"

Thor whooped. "That's brilliant," he said. He grabbed Loki's shoulders, gripping hard. "If I have to wed, I would wish of all people it could be my brother!"

Loki blinked, his face going very blank as he parsed this. His eyes had an oddly blind look.

"... yes, you would think that," he said after a moment, his voice shaking. Thor wasn't sure if he was laughing or not. Loki was usually laughing at Thor, so it was probably the safe bet.

Thor grinned anyway. "What do you want for your wedding gift? If I start making it now it could be something epic by the time I give it to you."

Loki stepped away, breaking Thor's grip on his shoulders. "I'm not going to do it," he said irritably. "I have years now to work out how to trick our way out of it; that's the point. That was the whole point of telling you, you idiot ( ... )

Oh my goddddd, this is so darling, YES. ♥___♥ Of course Loki works it out! Of course Thor is delighted! And this: Thor had time to remember, with a fierce kind of joy, that Loki always had been the crazier of the two of them.

ARGHHHH FLAILING AROUND WITH THE PURE JOY OF THEM

I hope you are right and there is lots of this, and I also hope that there is lots of them getting to be in arranged marriages and keep that brotherly dynamic, because now it is all I want. ♥♥♥

THIS IS WHEN TRACKING YOUR JOURNAL PAYS OFF REALLY WELL FOR ME :D

I think you should tell me about a time Narcissa and Bellatrix got lost together. (Or three times, if you feel like it!)
