"Ha bloody ha!" Rus makes a fist and mimes punching Severus. "I'm going to tell Lucius you said he bleaches his hair." He stares. "Why in Merlin's name would I care what a muggle thinks?!"
"Dunno," Rus shrugs. It's clearly never occurred to him to wonder and now that he does, he doesn't care. "The alcohol kills all the germs anyway." Another shrug. "No bug would bite you Severus," he says. "It wouldn't dare."
"It's about respect period," Rus corrects him. "It's not that we lose track," he goes on. "It's having to listen to the others (meaning Gryffindors curse their noses on backwards!) go on about it."
Yeah well, that's him to a tee. It proves he's still loyal to the cause. Meanies! I know I'd switch! Let him do some of the work! Um...Can I come and help Rus? JESUS!
