"Mother", Sirius spoke, leaning back on the dark green sofa, fiddling with Alphard's old lighter.
Walburga glanced at them before making her way to the adjacent dining room. The table was set up for afternoon tea, and she moved around it, slightly adjusting flowers, cutlery and trays of finger sandwiches, to fit her standards.
Sirius followed behind her.
"I expect you and Regulus to stay upstairs while our guests are here."
Sirius leaned against the wall as he watched her meticulously rearrange things, "Actually I'm going out."
Walburga whirled around, "Stand straight. Where?"
"The Rosier's. Evan Rosier asked me to pop round to hang."
She narrowed her eyes.
"I mean he asked me to teach him French. He has an internship with Perenelle Flamel in a couple of weeks. And I accepted since you're always hounding on me to make connections."
She moved forwards quickly, grabbing their face, "You were meant to be getting internships with the Flamel's", she stared at him in disappointment, "Tell the Rosier boy to mention Regulus to Perenelle Flamel, Regulus has been doing well in Potions lately so getting work with the Flamel's could really substantiate his future."
Sirius pushed her away, "Fine, I will."
He walked out, grabbing their coat as he left the house. And started to make their way to a bus stop to get to Camden Town.
As they passed a telephone box, they went inside and rang the number of Evan Rosier that Regulus had reluctantly given to him.
"Hello", the boy's voice spoke.
"Rosier! My mother thinks I am currently at your house teaching you French."
"Great", Evan grinned down the phone, before putting it down and scribbling a note to tape to his bedroom door, asking for no disturbances while Black teaches him french.
He shut the door behind him, and turned back to Barty Crouch jr sitting at his desk.
Evan strolled forwards, bending slightly to kiss his friend, "We've got a couple of hours."
Barty smirked, "I guess Black's not all bad."

Ok, for the ask thing, hope this isn’t too much, 24, 11, 13. If you feel like answering, thanks! You have fun posts/thoughts about SP
24 and 13 are answered :)
11. Is there a popular character you like that the fandom doesn't? Why?
I know that the younger (more active) fans dislike Cartman, and tend to exclude him in works. But idk if that alone makes him unpopular? He's definitely the most controversial. Against my better judgement, I do indeed, like Cartman.
He's not a character you're supposed to love. He reflects the biases and the bigotry we're all capable of, and like most sociopaths in media, he's extravagant, loves to entertain, and is charming. His saving grace is that he's only a little boy, an animated one at that, and that degree of separation to his many many crimes makes it easy for us to laugh at him. That's another thing about Cartman-- he's genuinely funny. Trey Parker puts his all into even the most offensive jokes and he finds a way to tailor them to a character's personality. I can't believe it, but I love singing "too many minorities" and "safe space" to myself while working... it's so catchy.
I used to despise Cartman and found him one note (this was watching bits of season 4 and 6. I was bareelly getting into sp. It wasn't until I saw scott tenorman that I sat down to reevaluate him) but after seeing the episodes dedicated to highlighting just how messed up he is under the surface, what drove him to act the way he does, and the few snippets we see that he's truly capable of change (and it's shocking that according to trey, it doesn't take a lot to turn Cartman around.)
He fascinates me. There hasn't been a villain/ main character quite like him before or since.
