“Let’s bet,” Walburga said, wand firm in her grip. Orion glanced up, amusement already forming. “Like when we were kids?” She smiled thinly. “Something like that. Only properly this time. A points system. You’ll be black. I’ll be green.” “And what are we counting?” “The children’s favourite...In one week Sirius leaves for Hogwarts,” she said briskly. “That week decides it. Whoever has the most diamonds wins.” Orion laughed, low and incredulous. “You do realise this is exactly what we promised we wouldn’t do.” “That,” Walburga replied, extending her hand, “was before we had children" He took it without hesitation. “Deal.” The diamonds stirred, magic sealing the wager. They had sworn not to repeat the cycle. Instead, they turned it into a game. And heaven help the children. OR: One week before Sirius leaves for Hogwarts, Walburga and Orion make a wager to determine which of them is the favourite parent. Truly, there is nothing the Blacks love more than inventing elaborate distractions to avoid discussing their emotions.
