"Whether they think it's about the money or not, they're not going to give you what you're after - not after what you've gone and done. You're a weakness, something that can damage them, and at the end of the day they can't afford to have you around where you could ruin things for them." He shrugged. "You can tell them you're happy, but don't expect them to be happy for you, or to show that they care at all, you'd have more luck banging your head against a wall for all you'll get out of them."
Sirius nodded when Scorpius went one. "Look, the thing you have to understand is that you can have one or the other, but you can't ever have both." Just talking to Scorpius had Sirius seeing just how lucky he was to have Regulus, and that his brother was someone who could see past everything their parents had wanted him to be and be more than that - enough that he could have a family in his brother again. "You either get a family that is proud of you for doing what is expected, or you get your boyfriend in as normal relationship as is possible for anyone to have these days, but not both."
"No, to them you do flaunt your relationship with this boy." Sirius told Scorpius, "How many times have the two of you been linked in the Prophet? Even once is too many times if you were actually trying to keep this discrete." He snorted, "Do they?" He wondered idly, though he doubted it very much, he was still the disowned Black who had married a man after all. "I think that could be because I don't try and be something I'm not, I know that I'm not living up to my role, and I know that I won't fit into that role." Not matter how much he might have wished at times for Regulus' sake. "But I have married a pureblood, and occasionally I do manage to act like a respectable pureblood when out in public - I know who I am and I don't care what others think and I don't try to be something different, which perhaps helps me." Not that he knew one way or another if that was the case,
