[Is he suggesting that "bigger than ourselves" might expand to "bigger than Family"?!? Nono, perish the thought. She decides not even to respond to that one. (Or believes it's a decision she makes, rather than her hitting an internal wall.)
To the last, though—always nice to retreat into something on which they agree, low blow as it may be—but Bella does truly invite it. Cissa worries about her future often:]
Have you heard her latest with Binns? If she keeps getting points subtracted from Slytherin, I'm not sure who may upset the cart.
[She didn't necessarily have "friends". But she had a considerable number of people fascinated with and/or afraid of her.]
[ooc: …'cause apparently they're still at school possibly? I can change anything in here ;-) ]
it's perfect! Also. I love how everyone in this family views the idea of family a little differently
[It didn't phase Sirius in the least when she didn't make a mention of his other comment regarding society. He was well aware of how the family should be the most important but as far as he saw it, there was "Family" and then there was family. Talking about Bella was a much better topic of conversation compared to whatever deep-seated angst he might feel about being booted.]
I didn't get to hear all the details but I heard it was a sight to see! And Slytherin's team this year isn't the best to help with the points situation.
I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about. And I would certainly never suggest that our esteemed Quidditch classmates are so bad at their own sport that they couldn't tell their broomsticks from their unmentionables.
[No one in the entire clan ever sees this side of perfect little Narcissa, except for Sirius and Andromeda. Possibly only Bellatrix could even guess that it exists.]

No, you would never. I on the other hand have no qualms at all. Merlin help them, the team is a bloody mess this year.
