Walburga vs Tobias + Black Family Things
So I read this post, which inspired me to write this ramble.
When I write a fanfic, I always write Walburga to be the one with power in her and Orion's relationship, with her even sometimes going as far as to groom him (yuck!) because she's older than him by 4 years, so was maybe manipulative enough to convince him to marry her to keep things 'pure'. Walburga loved having power, and what other way could she have lordship unless it was through her husband? Taking it from him, even. Regardless of gender, there's a power dynamic. If Orion was 16, Walburga was probably 19-20. This goes against another headcanon I've made, but food for thought.
When I write Tobias it can get complicated, because I want more than just 'abusive dad'. There is the possibility that Tobias very much loved Severus, but they weren't on speaking terms because of the whole magic thing. I don't think we're even aware of the real reason they didn't get along. We can assume it was magic, but what if it was something else? What if Tobias occasionally got in trouble with the police? What if he was bad with money and the landlord was threatening to throw them out if they didn't find a solution? Maybe the biggest problem Tobias had with Eileen isn't the fact that she was a witch, but the fact that she presumably hid it from him? Deceived him? "If this is what you're hiding from me, what else are you hiding that I don't know about?" I also headcanon/believe that Severus was autistic, so maybe Tobias was really lost on how to communicate with him.
The Black Family Itself (Mostly headcanons)
I like to believe Sirius was raised to be a carbon copy of Walburga by Walburga herself, but she was too successful,which ended up back firing on her. He inherited all her rebellious traits because he was modelled after her. I like to believe Sirius' obsession with tormenting Severus started out of his own insecurities, but soon began to become a power thing. Sirius enjoys feeling power, at least I like to believe so.
Just because Sirius surrounded himself with 'mudbloods' doesn't mean his family's views on them magically disappeared from his mind. He could easily be keeping any rude comments to himself. He did maintain his friendship with James out of rebellion as well, not to say they weren't true friends.
I like to believe it was Pollux's side of the family that inherited the madness, and thus it spread to Sirius and Bellatrix. Both of them had to deal with the pressure of being the oldest, and being the face of their families, so they must always be ready. Always high strung, smug and confident. I think that Bellatrix was specifically married to Rodolphus because she was the strongest out of her siblings. The Lestranges didn't treat women well, so if it ever came down to it, Bellatrix would set Rodolphus straight before he could ever lay a hand on her. She's ruthless, and all too willing to go off the deep end if it means getting what she wants. She and Walburga have that in common.
Cygnus II having Bellatrix, Andromeda and Narcissa during his school years (+ Pollux having Walburga) actually sets up a tone for an interesting, yet messy story. The fandom dismissing it as Rowling getting her maths wrong is actually so boring, and they refuse to experiment with what's written in canon. If you guys are interested, I have experimented. (Not to be that person that advertises, but my name is CruelBritania on Ao3). I think Cygnus ended up being a little distant, but also involved with his daughters. He wanted to live his life freely, but also be there for his daughters. Being a teen dad is chaotic, and I guess his relationship with Druella was messy, because she kind of resented him for not being there enough. Cygnus isn't treated seriously because his parents had to help him raise his children. Even at an older age, he's immature. He never truly knows what to do, and always runs to his parents for help. Bellatrix was closest to her grandparents anyways, but Andromeda grew to resent his absence. Narcissa was a mommy's girl, so she didn't really care.
Regulus is the opposite of Sirius, which makes him an Orion copy. He doesn't rebel out of lack of control, but because he genuinely believes he should. That's why he died the way he did. Sirius was erratic, whilst Regulus was calm and collected. Regulus the embodiment of what a Black was supposed to present themselves as.
Arcturus didn't approve of the whole Voldemort thing, but Regulus was obedient to his mother. As I said, the Blacks loved power. Infiltrating the Death Eater circle was Bellatrix's and Narcissa's husband's job, not a heir's. He was suspicious of Voldemort, and what his intentions could be for the future of magical Britain. Being a descendant of Salazar Slytherin and speaking parseltongue doesn't make you special, it makes you worthy company.
The very second he learned Regulus took the mark, Arcturus knew it wasn't going to lead to anything good. He had to embrace that his family's long history was coming to an end. He watched as his family's influence became forgotten as The Boy Who Lived rose to fame. Magical Britain became more open to muggle influence.
I think the family having sexist views isn't too out of place, but I don't believe they were against the women having independence. For example, Elladora and Cassiopeia were unwed for their entire lives. The women of the family possibly acted like Genghis Khan's daughters, which is to get married to a prince and then send them off to war, while the daughter rules the kingdom in her husband's absence. In this case, infiltrate a family and spread their influence through their husband regarding their occupation. If I remember correctly, the Black family were known for being influential. The women were just as important as the men. Not enough to be heirs, but still very important.
I don't think the Black family took the Hogwarts house thing too seriously. Yeah, they were competitive, but at the end of the day, these are just traits that they valued. They still married into non Slytherin families if the surnames are anything to go by (Macmillan, Potter, ect.). When Sirius was sorted into Gryffindor he wasn't disowned for it, unlike Marius who got burnt off for being a squib. Who even knows if Marius was killed or given away? Phineas and Cygnus were brothers, so maybe Phineas ended up caring for Marius. Who knows?
I believe that not all of them had extreme views on muggles and muggleborns. Some of them preferred to be segregated, others didn't mind their presence so long as they remembered their roles in life, while a handful did believe in exterminating them. Racism comes in levels, after all. Bellatrix, Andromeda and Narcissa are classic examples of this, with Andromeda learning that her family's beliefs on muggles are ridiculous, and even going as far as to marry one. They were normal every day people, in a 1950s white power kind of way.
I headcanon that the hatred the Blacks had for muggles wasn't too bad until they started losing some family members to them (marriage, witch trials, ect.), and only then did their resentment for muggles become more prevalent. How is it that some family members were able to have enough empathy to fall in love with mudbloods and blood traitors? Support muggles? They have madness, but they're not all heartless.
Here are some of the headcanons I've made:
Arcturus & Melania Headcanon
Arcturus and Melania were an odd couple that no one expected.
She was quiet and easily slipped by people, but also great at being diplomatic, and could've made a good lawyer or spy. That of course went hand in hand with Arcturus' aspiration to be a court judge in the ministry.
She had a kind heart, with a peculiar sense of humour, and just an overall warm person to be around. Arcturus was quite possessive of her, and got jealous easily, but he was covert about it. He didn't show her. A bit of a yandere, honestly. Any man he felt a little competition with? Critically injured, or never seen again.
Arcturus treated everyone he came across with respect, even mudbloods, which is why he was never suspected of being insane. He was recognised as one of the normal or civil Blacks.
Melania came from the Macmillan family, who were known for being a long line of Hufflepuffs. They were fairly middle class, but not to the same level as the Blacks.
The Black family didn't approve of Arcturus marrying her, but he stubbornly continued courting her, and they stayed together. It took 5 years for Melania to gain Sirius II approval, but it didn't stop the other family members from looking down at her. Out of all her inlaws, Lycoris was nicest to her, with Regulus I being second place. Being an unseen middle child, Lycoris understood what it's like to be visible when people wanted something from you, and confided in her. Regulus I was the baby of the family, and seen as harmless with the agonising need to prove himself. Melania couldn't help but see him the same way, and Regulus kind of hated her for it.
She didn't like playing favourites, but Lucretia was her favourite. Melania loved having a daughter to dote on and spend time with. She didn't love Orion any less, but found it hard to understand his interests.
Lucretia and Walburga didn't get along as children as they were constantly compared to each other: With Lucretia being the well behaved one, and Walburga being the spoiled brat. Melania would set up play dates for them whenever Violetta was unavailable to look after them, but Walburga hated visiting.
Orion inherited Melania's hardworking nature, and focused on his work, never thinking of dating. When Regulus I died, Arcturus started to worry and tried to match Orion with a suitress. Pollux took advantage of this, and convinced Arcturus to have Orion and Walburga wed. Melania was against it due to Walburga's beliefs on muggle hunting, and what that could mean for Orion's future children, but Arcturus' mind was set.
She was a very kind grandmother, and didn't voice disapproval over Sirius' ending up in Gryffindor. She tried to be a mediator surrounding Sirius' growing rebellion.
She occasionally volunteered to look after Bellatrix, Andromeda and Narcissa since Cygnus and Druella were still in school. Melania worried that Pollux and Irma would poison their minds, and she had been correct to find that it had been the case with Bellatrix.
The Prewetts were lower classed, and everyone was horrified to find out that Lucretia became engaged to one. Melania convinced Arcturus to give his blessing, reasoning that if they could marry for love then their daughter could. She used the fact that Orion was an heir against Arcturus, thus being the only one they should truly worry about. It's thanks to her that Lucretia wasn't burnt off, especially after Molly Prewett married into the Weasley family.
A lot of the family members believe that Melania cursed the bloodline, and that Arcturus was a fool to fall in love with her.
Edit: I assumed Lycoris was a boy's name and always thought he or she was male. I like the idea of Arcturus, Lycoris & Regulus being a trio of brothers. I thought it would be funny if there was a doppelganger trope within the family.
Callidora, Cedrella & Charis. Walburga, Alphard & Cygnus. Bellatrix, Andromeda & Narcissa. Arcturus, Lycoris & Regulus.
