Snape smirked. "I certainly didn't hold him down and pour it down his throat. And it's just as well Sirius didn't come and bitch, I'd never have heard a word. I fell straight into bed after dropping him off."
He snorted. "You mispronounced incorrigible."
But the smile fell away from his face at Regulus' next words. For an instant, he was appalled at the sheer, glaring, un-Slytherinness of the act. Why the fuck would he do such a thing? ...Oh. "Greyback," he growled aloud: it wasn't a question. "His return forced your hand." His brows lowered in a puzzled scowl. "How the fuck did he not try to rip your throat out?"
