Summary: Orion Black agreed to help distract Sirius…this is how he does it.
"Where do you think Sirius got his sense of humor from?" Lord Orion Black responded with a smirk.
Maria took a bite of her sundae, shrugged, and replied, "I just always figured he'd been dropped on his head as a baby…a lot."
"Yes, well, that as well," was the sheepish response, "however I only dropped him a few times…pure accident, of course…mostly it was Walburga…on purpose, to build character…" Orion grinned around his ice cream sundae before lowering his voice and finishing his sentence, "well, except for a few times when she was simply drunk."
"YOU DROPPED ME! ON PURPOSE?" Lily turned her face into James' shoulder, in a fruitless attempt to muffle her snickers. The other three Marauders didn't even try to hide and simply pointed and laughed at the ticked off and horrified canine animagus.
"No, Sirius, why can't you ever listen? Walburga dropped you on purpose. I dropped you accidentally. It's a big difference." Orion's words and the winning smile he flashed his oldest son did not appear to calm Sirius down, and the smile quickly faded. Orion swallowed, demurely placed his sundae down on the table, and turned back to Maria.
"I must say Maria, it has been lovely meeting with you. I do hope we can do this again sometime, unfortunately I really must be getting back to work." Before Maria could respond, Orion had apparated away. Just in time too, as Sirius had his wand out and looked to be deciding exactly which hexes to use against his father.
As always, read and review, please!
