He had been willing to go through two more years of Potions and all of Slughorn's shite if it meant helping people. It still rubbed Sluggy the wrong way that Sirius hadn't been sorted into his house. And doing something so boring rubbed him the wrong way. Sometimes he considered blowing things up just for the hell of it. It would have made potions more interesting.

He did like the idea of being that which went bump to things that went bump in the night though.
