Regulus looked between his mother and father, trying to find a joking glimmer in their stone cold silver eyes but found none.

They weren't joking.

"You wish for me to marry?" He questioned slowly.

"We don't wish it, Regulus. We need you to marry." Walburga clarified for her son.

"Need..?"

"With Sirius' recent disownment, we're starting to get a lot of bad press and are close to losing our title of The Noble House Of Black because of it," Orion explained.

"So, we need to deflect this. Make it seem as if everything is better without him." Walburga added

Regulus nibbled on the inside of his cheek, casting his gaze down to the dark green carpet beneath his feet.

If Sirius were still here, he'd be in this situation; being arranged to marry a Pureblooded daughter of a noble house.

He'd never have thought that he'd be the one arranged to marry a total stranger. Hence, why this was a shock to the youngest Black.

Regulus never paid much thought or mind to marriage or relationships. He had always thought that Sirius' betrothal would have been enough to please his parents until his was in his late twenties or early thirties but that flew out the window as soon as Sirius was disowned.

Regulus should've known back then that he'd be targeted. But he was fourteen at the time; he didn't think about marriage, let alone arranged marriage. However, he was eighteen now and in his final year at Hogwarts. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

As he was sitting in his father's study now, he was blatantly surprised that they had held off on announcing this to him until now. In Pureblood families, most are informed at the tender age of thirteen at latest of who they'd be spending the rest of their miserable life with.

Maybe they were being considerate.

He almost snorted aloud but covered it with a sniffle.

"What about my studies?" He questioned aloofly.

"Oh, after the ceremony you'll go back to your normal schooling-"

"But you'll be a married man." Orion cut his wife off.

She shot him a dirty look before regaining composure and facing her youngest son with a neutral expression.

"After this year, you'll move into our house in the next town over with your wife. We just need this to be finalized before both of you go back for your final year." She explained whilst Regulus slowly nodded along.

Part of him was screaming to defy his parents' demand but another part felt at ease. He wouldn't have to go looking for a wife; he sucked at communicating and keeping companionship with the opposite sex outside of his family though he'd never admit that out loud.
