Here is Cygnus Black, and this has a slightly different feel to it, as it starts with a memory. I wanted to show how ashamed he is of Andromda, and how proud of his other two girls, enjoy!
Oh, and this is his opinion, not mine :)
And the "Mmmm, muggleborn" line is from a lovely comic from acciobrain, which you should go and check out :)
Disclaimer: Harry Potter isn't mine!
"Andromeda, I have never been more ashamed in my life." He hissed, glaring at his daughter, lip curled back.
Andromeda stood, back straight, hair falling down her back, and looking every bit the proud, pure-blood daughter she should have been.
"You will forget this madness and come home to us, or suffer the consequences."
A smile twitched at the corner of her mouth.
"I hardly see there would be any consequences. I will spend the rest of my life with the man I love, and, if you carry out your threats, I will finally be rid of the family who never loved me."
His eyes flashed, because he had once loved her.
She had been the most wayward daughter of course, the one who seemed to encourage her mad cousin Sirius, but he had loved like only a father could. He had tried to teach her all she needed to know, to make her understand her true worth, she was a Black after all, not some common scum, like those Weasleys.
But here she stood, and the only gratitude she could show him was to turn up her nose at him and run off with a muggleborn, of all things. And now he saw the error of that love. He should have been harder on her, punished her more, indulged her less, and she could have turned out properly.
"Go then, and make your enemies. But I warn you, my daughter, that this is not a family you want to face in a fight."
She looked at him bravely, but he saw the flicker of fear that hid inside her.
"I will go father, and good riddance," She spat, before grabbing a handful of his floo power and throwing it into the grate so hard it dusted half the room, and her father, in ash.
Cygnus shuddered at the memory. He didn't give a toss about her now, shame of his flesh, disgrace to the family.
And almost without realising it, he reached inside his drawer and took out the wedding invite he still kept, though he didn't know why. She had written her own message on the photo of her kissing that mudblood.
Mmmm, Muggleborn!
He felt a little sick. The very idea of his daughter doing such a thing! She must have been angry that night, for it was sent with a message saying she invited them to never show up, and that she would forget them forever now. Her decision was final.
He shook his head and grunted.
She was his only mistake though. He reminded himself.
And this time he was brimming with pride as he took out the photo of his lovely Narcissa, positively radiating happiness on the arm of Lucius Malfoy.
They were the perfect pair, and just looking at them made him feel better. How quickly Narcissa had charmed the entire Malfoy family. She was just how a proper Black girl should be. And it even made him happy that she had managed to marry for love, because she was his baby, his youngest, and he wanted her to be happy.
He nodded to himself and set down the photo. The last thing in his drawer was a letter from his dear Bella. It was the day she had first gotten her dark mark. She had talked about it for a full three pages, and was so enthusiastic about helping such a good cause.
Cygnus and Druella couldn't have been more proud of her that day, and when she'd let Voldemort come into their house and hold a secret meeting, they were so honoured.
Cygnus placed the letter and Narcissa's picture back into the draw and smiled to himself. He wasn't such a bad father after all, he had even turned out two perfect daughters, and if the other had been a complete failure it wasn't his fault!
He lifted the photo of his middle child kissing that piece of filth and carefully took out his wand. With a flick it caught alight, the fire spreading across the paper from the corner up. Cygnus watched it burn with a kind of fierce joy.
The true daughters of Black where the ones that mattered, and when you looked at how they'd turned out, he couldn't have been a better father.
Don't forget to review, it'd be awesome to bring this up to 50 in the next two chapters *crosses fingers* it's in your hands, as my readers, now!
