“I told you, I’ll be back by then,” she replied simply, “It’s not like I’ve ever gone against your wishes before.”

“And you never will, yes?”

siennarowle‌:

“Is that so? You’re setting the bar rather high for yourself.”

“Mmm. I always set the bar high for myself, darling. It’s the only way to live. Are you ready?”

“Of course,” she replied quietly, turning her attention towards her phone now that she’d surrendered in their argument.

“Remember. I expect you and your...friend, to be at dinner tonight.”

The threat definitely stopped her from continuing the argument, and she looked away, “That won’t be necessary.”

“I always knew you were a smart girl.”

“I will say this, he may not be very smart, but the French Minister of Magic has sent the best gift so far. Those chocolates were incredible.”

“He is...hardly anything but smart. I’m willing to bet my finest horse his wife picked that gift. But I trust it will pale in comparison to mine.”

“And? It’s not like I’m bringing this up in front of all of your business associates. I’m bringing it up in the privacy of our own home, with no one else around.”

“It does not matter where you bring it it. We have had this discussion more than it deserves. Know your place before I teach it to you.”

“I never said he was. And I never said that I didn’t have faith in him. Just that I would be better. There’s nothing wrong with knowing my own worth.”

“You could have fooled me.” He glares at her. “There is nothing wrong with knowing it. What matters is the fact you know when it is important to bring up.”

“But is it really good to have someone who’s so malleable as the one in charge? He could just as easily be swayed to do something stupid, and you know it. I mean, that’s what happened to Sirius Black. Everyone said he used to be fine but then he fell into the wrong crowd.”

“Your brother is not a blood traitor. By the time I allow him to spend time with others who might try to change him he will be solid. Perfect. You should have more faith in your brother. You lack of it is...disturbing.”

“It’s not about what I think, it’s about the fact that I’m just better. It’s not an opinion. It’s just a fact.”

“There is nothing I cannot teach your brother. He is still young. Plastic. Easily changeable. The heir to the Lestrange name is your brother. That is the end of the discussion child.”

“Why is it that you think I ever do anything other than exactly what is expected of me? That’s all I’ve ever done,” she argued, “I’m just trying to help. You know that I’d be better, you have to.”

“I do not care what you think. Your mother and I have made our intentions clear. Your job is to do as you are told.”

“No, you’ve lectured me on your sexist ideas. That doesn’t make them a discussion nor does it make them the right choice for this family,” she replied quietly. “And I’m not being difficult.”

“I am the head of this family, daughter. And it would be wise of you to stay your tongue, lest you continue digging your grave. You will do as you are told to the letter and nothing more or less. Do you understand?”

“It’s not my fault I got all of the good traits you and mother have to offer,” she shrugged. “And it’s especially not my fault that no one wants to make use of them.”

“That topic of conversation is neither her nor there. We’ve discussed our reasoning behind naming Sebastian the heir. It is unbecoming of a young lady to be difficult for the sake of being difficult.”

“Merlin, you’re such a pushover that it’s almost embarrassing.”

“I-I am not a pushover. I just don’t like rocking the boat anymore than I have to, okay?”

siennarowle‌:

“Probably because you are one.”

“What? Like I’m supposed to tell dad no? I hate when dad gets angry.”

“You don’t need to worry about that…I’m not the one that’s habitually late,” she replied, clearly excited to have permission to go out with her friend.

“A talent I wish had gone to your brother.”

“But the rest of the day she and I can go out?” she asked, “So long as we’re home for dinner?”

“And not a minute later. I’m sure your mother will love to have company.”
