Sirius found himself unsurprised by the outcome, however he couldn’t remember if he had ever seen his father this mad before. It kinda scared him.
His brain began racing for an out to the situation, though he couldn’t find one. He had really screwed the pooch this time.
Orion says calmly something about this man was clearly wrong how he could go from livid to calm in just seconds.
Regulus appeared just before Orion had the chance to hit Sirius again.
Regulus: Dad! Stop!
Regulus: I know what you’re going to say. “He deserves it,” but do you really want to disfigure him so close to the start of term? People will get suspicious.
Orion lets go clearly pissed at his younger son’s interruption.
