"Almost? Why do you think I was suddenly in a rush to leave Malfoy manor? Narcissa's security is compromised, which means anyone in there could be in danger," he said. "Sooner or later, he'll come for us, or at least me. Did you ever find out how I died, Sirius? Did you ever ask?" He had promised himself that he wouldn't tell Sirius unless he asked, but now, they could all be in danger, and Sirius needed the information.
"I promise to give you a perfect recount of the events, although if you're present, he might take it out on you, and that wouldn't be pleasant. Unless I take my revenge in a much subtler way, and you've already mentioned that you don't want to know about Severus being naked," he teased, but then nodded. "That he does, and I'm not going to take that from him, even if they are rather awful."
Regulus looked at the house elf, surprised. "You got yourself a house elf. I'm surprised. I thought you were above these things."
