Regulus still didn't believe it, but if Jake was telling the truth, then things were better than he would have expected. "Narcissa is in charge, then. That's fortuitous. Since you say that I don't have any close relatives and I'm still dying, you can contact her on my behalf. I'm sure that will delay a few questions." Possibly forever, but he didn't hope that much.
"Potter? Would he be related to James the prat?" he asked. Leave it to a Potter to take the credit for something he had done. God, he really wanted all of them dead.
Just like that he realised that he was starting to accept this nicer view as the truth and he couldn't lower his guard. "You say I'm dying, then find a way to keep those two out of the way until Narcissa gets here. Even if you have to let me almost die."
