"And I'm the one who brought Him down, so you can take your high and mighty attitude and shove it. Or what? Didn't dear, old Dumbledore didn't share that little part with you."
Regulus sighed when Sirius appeared to calm down. "I didn't die. I have no intention of dying any time soon. I have a house to finish, a family to create and a heir to be conceived at some point." He looked around before turning back to Sirius. "Do you like it?" he asked, wondering if they could start with something less charged. "I have Mother's portrait all ready for you to take, since I know how much you'd want it," he said with a tiny smile.
