Sirius has never been particularly impressed by the headmaster, but nor has he disdained him like so many others are so quick to do. Not actually. He might have gone along with what was being said, but he never really felt the same.
At mention of Bellatrix, though, Sirius' face does a weird sort of half-smirk, and he turns away.]

Even though Edgeworth could easily chide the other boy for his unkindness, he doesn't; he doesn't want to drive him away, to anger him, to even just give him an excuse to retreat.
Or - in theory, he doesn't. Yet the first question out of his mouth is:]
Are your parents being all right to you?
[Which - if there's anything that will make Sirius storm off in a rage, it's...something like that.]
