"Whatever." He had little patience for stupid people, because refusing to see the obvious was just stupid and could get you killed. "Did you ever get the chance of duelling with him?" he asked, trying to keep his voice neutral, but he really wanted to see Remus kick Potter's arse.
Regulus nodded. "We did, but there were some things that I needed to work through, and Sirius helped in his own, very stubborn way," he said. "Although some of the things he said were so absurd. I guess arguing with him makes me think more clearly."
He shrugged. "I'm not sure. I thought about doing this subtly, but- I didn't think we would come out. I was thinking more about those open secrets that people know in society, but no one talks about it. If we are coming out, then I don't know if subtle is the way, although kissing in the Great Hall isn't an option. I want something that tells people, and it also says to back the fuck off or they'll deal with me. I suppose that making an announcement while I'm wearing Death Eater clothes would not be appropriate." Although it would be very effective."
Regulus smiled. "I thought so, too. not just the Black family, but pureblood, wizarding traditions, and this way I can get the entire family involved." He nipped Remus' neck. "I'm hoping that you will do more than support me. We still have a birthday present to get through."
