In the sitting room, the conversation took a significant turn as Lucius addressed a potential solution for the future of the child and the families involved. His tone was calm yet firm.
"Considering the situation," Lucius said thoughtfully, "it might be beneficial to offer Orion and Abraxas the option to marry. This could simplify matters considerably, particularly concerning the child's future."
Narcissa showed interest, while Sirius raised an eyebrow, considering the implications. "How would this make things easier?" Sirius asked.
Lucius elaborated, "If Orion and Abraxas marry, it would provide a clear and accepted arrangement for the child's legitimacy and future. This would also help solidify the child's position within either the Malfoy or Black families, depending on the terms of the marriage."
Narcissa nodded thoughtfully. "That would indeed offer stability and address potential social or legal issues related to the child's parentage."
Sirius reflected on the idea. "Marriage would definitely clarify things, but we need to ensure that both Orion and Abraxas are willing and comfortable with this decision. It must be their choice."
Lucius agreed. "Absolutely. The decision should be theirs, but presenting it as an option could also aid in managing the family's public image and ensuring the child is raised in a supportive environment."
Narcissa added, "We should discuss this openly with Orion and Abraxas, making sure they understand all implications. If they are both willing, it would indeed provide a clearer path forward."
Sirius nodded in agreement. "We need to approach this sensitively. They should feel supported and not pressured into making a decision."
Lucius concluded, "We'll present the option to them and respect whatever decision they make. Our priority is the well-being of the child and the happiness of both Orion and Abraxas."
The group agreed that presenting marriage as an option could offer clarity and stability for the future. They decided to handle the matter with sensitivity and respect, aiming to provide practical solutions while prioritizing the well-being of everyone involved.
