Bella was silent for a moment.
"Poor Reg, he's always being been a bit of a pushover.. I'll take partial blame for that, but you have to take some. I mean, you have been a bit of a horrible brother. And I've been a horrible cousin."
OOC: I gots to go now, but nice long RP bout there...

"Horrible cousin, yes. However, I refuse to believe I was a horrible brother in any way." He scoffed. "I stuck up for his arse when mother went nutters. And how does he repay me? He tells me off for it. Black family Honor, my arse." He shook his head and stood up, tapping the toe of his shoe into the carpeted floor. "You don't understand what you are getting yourself into, Bella. Not an ounce." Sirius ran a hand through his hair, brushing it out of his face.
"You are going to get fucked over, Bella. By Rodulphus, by the Death Eaters, and by Voldemort. You'll be killed."

Bella laughed, her voice full of scorn and derision. "Oh I know what I'm getting into Sirius, and when I die, you'll say I deserved it. And you'll be right. But I will not go back on what I've promised. We all die eventually, how we die doesn't matter."
She gave him a withering glance. "A good brother? Sirius, how deluded you are. You don't care one whit about your family, and you never have. How am I supposed to believe you care what happens to your brother? You don't care what happens to me, or to my sisters. With the exception of poor hapless Andromeda."
She looked him up and down, and laughed again. "I don't see Black in you anymore. I once loved you, cousin, but now, I don't think I can even call you that."

"Family?" Sirius spat. "You call what we have family? You are the deluded one, Bella. And don't you dare say I didn't care about you. Don't you remember the family dinners? The Holidays? You think what I did there was an act?" He raised a hand, but quickly put it down again. "And Andie isn't to be pitied. She did what people do, Bella. She did what she needed to, to be happy." He stood near the door and slid it open. "Happy isn't a bad thing."

Bella's expression soured as she looked at his bitter expression. It reminded her of someone sucking on a lemon, full of acid and distaste.
"And Andie isn't to be pitied. She did what people do, Bella. She did what she need to, to be happy. Happy isn't a bad thing."
"Happy? I don't think I know the meaning of the word anymore. And if Andromeda is what you call happy, then I want nothing of it," she rejoined, a little more bitterly than she intended.
The conversation had gone exactly as she had hoped and intended, to put as much distance between herself and her cousin as possible. Luckily it seemed, he had done that for her.

"Alright, so Andie is a little off," Sirius agreed. "But who are you to care? You all, you..." he sighed. "You're all the same. Fresh-printed copies of demented perfection, you are. You agreed to betrothal, for godsakes! Nothing more than a forced marriage. Did you not ever realize how truly fucked up your parents marriage was? How terrible my parents was?"

"Fresh-printed copies of demented perfection, you are."
Bella wanted to shake her head in disagreement, but from his point of view, she was sure that it seemd that way.
"Perfection?" she asked sadly. "I only wish. As for my marriage... Rodolphus is different. He really loves me. Maybe I don't love him back now, but I'll love him some day."
She thought of how her parents were, and how her aunt and uncle were, and shuddered briefly.
"Perhaps you should be grateful you escaped while you did, Sirius," she said. "If you'd stayed much longer you'd be in my position."

"He loves you? How has he ever proved that? He's a bloody Death Eater," Sirius hissed. "He's incapable of love." Sirius shook his head. "No Bella, I never escaped anything. It was by no good fortune that I got out, I chose to leave. You have the same choice, er, had. You agreed to betrothal, you agreed when I was shut out, you agreed when your own sister was! That, dear Bella, was your choice."
OOC- Has Andie been booted out yet? Or does that come after Hogwarts...

"Oh, choice," Bella mimicked, her eyes flashing dangerously. "Choice? Who has a choice in any of this? If I want to ever see my parents again, or my sister, I had no choice. I 'love' which you so easily declare I am not capable of, yes, love my family. Regardless of who they are or what they do. And if you decided that we weren't good enough for you, then fine. It's the same with Andie. As far as I see it, you and her abandoned Cissa and I."
ooc: I think we had better just assume that Andie has gotten the boot... if not... well. No one said any of this was very canon. =)

"You are willing to stand by your so called family," Sirius snapped. "Help them murder innocent people? Oh yes, why ever did I leave that family?" He raised his hands in mock jubilation. "They abandoned me, just as they will someday abandon you. Our family is incapable of love."
"And yes Bella, you had a choice. As did I." Sirius took a step out of the compartment, losing interest in the direction the conversation was going in. "We both know what you chose," he chose this opportunity to cough something that sounded drastically like 'bigots'.
OOC- Sorry for the crap post. I've been busy with family and as soon as I had a chance to get on, I have to go again. Stupid father. Longer post next time... hopefully.

Bella smiled in an uninterested sort of way, she had heard all this before from him. She sighed, slightly exasperated, and knowing that he had better things to do with his time than argue with her. For example, torturing poor pitiful Severus (as if that wasn't a crime in itself), or dropping frogs into compartments, or other nasty things. Yes, Sirius could claim that he was clean of any sin, but she knew better.
"Well, let us both continue in our own chosen doom. We are what we make ourselves, as you well know. I would wish you luck Sirius, but I don't think you want it."
ooc - sorry for the short post, Bella seems to be at a loss for words.... as am I.
