Kapitel 482: Black Family Reunion Ⅱ
The fireplace suddenly flared up as the flames turned green and the first pair arrive. With delight she saw her fair niece step out in a lovely summer dress. The two women greet each other as Narcissa's hairs is elegantly pulled back. Her blue eyes flash as she says, "Mother will be coming with Andromeda in the C-A-RR."
Walburga sniffs and says, "Yes, well, Edward is a muggleborn wizard."
Before Walburga can say anything else, the tall, elegant form of Lucius Malfoy emerges from the green flames. Icy pale, handsome without a doubt, and long pale blond hair, Lucius nods his head in greetings of them.
"Walburga," Lucius cordially greeted her. "Orion."
Orion nodded back as Lucius nods to the Black family heirs. "Sirius and Regulus." The two boys nod back as Narcissa walks over to them with a mischievous twinkle in her eye. She presses a kiss to each of their cheeks causing Sirius to wrinkle his nose at his cousin.
Narcissa hides her smile and says, "My don't you both look handsome. But what is this I hear Sirius that you can't win over Rowan Prince?"
Sirius rolls his eyes as Regulus smirks, "Rowan sees Sirius like a brother. And she would much rather marry me, but I'm already taken."
"She has good taste," Narcissa teased earning herself an indignant glower from Sirius.
"Cissy!" Sirius whined in protest at his cousin's words and stuck out his tongue at her the minute Narcissa turned her back on him. Though his mother did spot him and gave him a stern glare in warning.
Sirius indignantly huffed as Regulus muttered under his breath, "Behave yourself. It is just for one evening."
"With FAMILY," Sirius spat out in an irritated hiss.
Regulus sighs to himself and privately wonders, whatever did he do to earn such a Gryffindor brother? Must be his penance in this life.
A loud honking from the front yard causes Orion to excuse himself and walk to the front door. Throwing the doors open Orion sees a car neatly pull up in front of the manor on the gravel path. The gray car turns off with a loud roar as the side doors are opened. Emerging from the back is his widowed sister-in-law, Druella Black.
Her blond hair is filled with premature silver hair now after all her recent tragedies. Her blue eyes are more solemn than ever, but she is more at ease. Druella had made up with her daughter, Andromeda, who had been lost to her, and her granddaughter, who was a warm balm to her aching heart.
Druella carries the little girl in question in her arms, Nymphadora Tonks, known to all as Dora. The two-year-old little girl wears a cute pink party dress and giggles. She happily changes her present hair color to that of blond. Druella coos to the little girl, who says, "Gwa-ma."
From the front driver and passenger seats, two figures emerge. The brown-haired Andromeda with gray eyes that largely resembled the deceased Bellatrix. However, Andromeda's features were much gentler and more relaxed then Bellatrix's had ever been in life.
Her husband, a muggleborn wizard, Ted (Edward) Tonks rounds the car to take his wife's hand. Commonly known to all as Ted, the fair-haired man with a mellow voice politely says, "Hello, Uncle."
Orion makes a slight face at that and says, "Welcome sister-in-law, niece, great-niece-."
Orion paused, before adding, "-Nephew-in-law."
For the Black family to accept a muggleborn wizard into their fold was revolutionary for them. It had never been done in the history of the Black family. But Walburga had put her foot down and Orion had not dared argue with his wife. And frankly speaking, Edward was not too terrible considering the fact that he was a muggleborn wizard. He was at least polite.
"Please come inside, everyone else is waiting inside," Orion explained as the three adults came up the front stairs. Orion faintly smiles at the little girl, who happily smiles back. Little Dora giggles and instantly changes her hair to black and gray eyes.
Nodding his head in approval, Orion waits for them to enter, before closing the doors shut behind him. The Front Hall is bustling as Black relatives continue to arrive. Orion's own father, Arcturus Black, the 3rd sniffs as he drinks a glass of sherry. The short man with arrogant features sniffs as his gray eyes flash in distaste, but he kept his tongue for now. Kreacher and Finny had been specifically instructed to not allow the wizard more than three glasses of sherry or any other combination of alcoholic beverages.
Walburga at present is gently aiding her father, Pollux Black into a chair to rest. The man was tall with a very thin white hair that had practically turned white overnight. Looking positively ancient, the weak, still rather ill wizard is slowly lowered into his seat. The Healers said it was a sickness of the heart that was slowly killing him. And that is if Pollux ever managed to pull himself out of his depressed stupor, he would live.
The irony was that Pollux Black had never had much time nor cared for his second born son, Alphard. And yet his death had struck him just as hard or even more so then that of his beloved and favorite child, Cygnus. It had come as quite a shock to Pollux to discover that he still had a heart. And even more so to know that he had cared for his second born child. It was ironic really to suddenly discover he still had a heart in his elder years.
Dora being the sweet little girl that she was happily babbles nonsensical things to all as Orion bows to his father-in-law. "Father-in-law, might I formally present your granddaughter, Andromeda Tonks, and her husband, Edward Tonks. Their child is known as Nymphadora Tonks, a metamorphmagus."
The front hall turns utterly quiet as they wait to see if Pollux, the head of his branch of the Black family would accept a muggle born wizard and a half-blood child into the family. Slowly raising his eyes, he studies the slightly nervous fair-haired man and a little girl in pink dress. Andromeda Black, his granddaughter, however, raises her head proudly in the air and meets his gaze without any fear. She resembled her father, his son, Cygnus, so much at that very moment.
Pollux's heart pangs for a moment, before tearing his gaze away to study this half-blood great-granddaughter. Seeing Pollux staring the little girl concentrates before her hair turns white to match Pollux's. The little girl innocently meets his gray gaze.
Dora extends her arms in the universal sign of children that she wants to be carried. Orion gently takes the little girl who smells of baby power and lavender from her muggleborn father's arms. The little girl is placed onto Pollux's lap as he closely scrutinizes the little girl, who suddenly grabs his nose in delight. Everyone sucks in their breath as they wait for Pollux to harshly berate his child. He had never been a kind man especially to his own children.
Pollux gently removes the little girl's hand and says, "Yes, she is a Black."
Instantly those holding their breaths let out sighs and begin to chatter anew. Pollux had spoken and had formally accepted a half-blood child into the Black Family. It was an unimagined feat for a family with hundreds of generations of pureblood in them. And was rather revolutionary for the Black family to assent. But it had occurred and from now on muggleborn wizard spouses and half-blood children would be accepted into the family from now on.
Of course, that did not mean that the Black's would not do everything possible within their power to ensure that their children married the right sort of people. It just meant that if it did occur, the child and spouse in question would be accepted. But that was only IF.

EsliEsma For the Black's to have done such a thing, would have be a HUGE DEAL! These are the guys, who's pureblood family moto/crest is "Toujours Pur," aka "Always Pure." So yes, this for such an old family to admit half-blood's or even a muggleborn spouse would have been incredibly life changing.
