[Sirius isn't surprised when Narcissa dismisses it and he couldn't blame her, really. Those born into the family are given everything they could want (within certain guidelines of course). It was easier to simply let things be and not fight it. Sirius had recognized that and had tried when he was younger (much younger). It simply didn't suit him ultimately.
And, he didn't want to get married to a cousin!]
Yes, well, why have all the money and prestige that our family affords us if we don't do anything to move our society forward?
[He knew it was old hat though and no one was ready to listen. They simply thought he was going through a phase. He was glad that James' parents had allowed him to stay with him once he was disowned.
At the last message though, Sirius barked out a laugh.]
I cannot agree more, Cissa. It is especially fun to rile Bella up. She could absolutely use it. Sometimes.
[Okay, maybe more than sometimes if you asked him!]
That's true, he is! He needs that reminder of what he's fighting for and why he rebels! :D
