"No, it's clear that a few individuals can get along. I still despise ninety-nine percent of the Gryffindors of any time. I'm making an exception for you, Sirius and James. I despise all Hufflepuff and most Ravenclaw. So as you can see, you're just the exception that proves the rule." He nodded. "You weren't fighting. You were playing there. That wasn't good for you or the people watching. Maybe if they saw how easily they can get their arses kicked, they'll pay more attention, even if it's not 'cool'."
"That's the thing. He wasn't in private but where everyone could see him. It's just…. I don't even know. Was it really fear that made us old onto our tradition? A few months here and we're ready to throw everything out the window. It's fine for Sirius; he's always done it, but what about the rest of us?" Regulus nodded. "Yes, it does. She's a very level headed woman, who understands who we are. She made it clear that she can't support us or any children we might have." He pinched the bridge of his nose. "I need to find ways to make it legal, and maybe she'll change her mind."
He shook his head. "I don't know if it's so different, at least from the one we fought. There were plenty of Aurors and Hit Wizards in the Order. Most of them in fact were involved with the MLE. That's the real difference. They were MLE people who despite of the Order were still fighting with those rules. And they died. Now, we're fugitives and they are still playing by the same rules."
Regulus smiled when he heard the comparison to Wizard's Chess, because it did give that appearance. "They are doing too much. They are trying to create a government, while running an economy, while preparing for a war. I understand why. None of them are the Headmaster or the Dark Lord, but it's still a waste of time. I don't think any of them would consider the Cruciatus as a way to end discussion. I also don't get how anyone could forget the house elves. Really, they are the only reason why things are still working in this school. No amount of man power could be enough if they weren't around."
At least that had been easy. He had been thinking about leaving and what would Remus do. He hadn't expected him to agree so easily. "I tried to take him one, Remus. I don't plan on doing the same now. I plan on going after the Death Eatrs, killing them slowly until there are too few. It's different," he said. "I know it's risky and there is a strong likelihood that we wouldn't be allowed to come back, but as objectionable the situation is, it's still preferable to what's going on here.
"The arrogance is staggering. They want to be in charge, but then want us to tell them how to do their job. I'm not going to tell them what to do so they can look good. If they can't figure out all of this by themselves, then they are too stupid to lead." He didn't care that one of those people were his brother-in-law. "In fact, I don't want them to lead if that's the case. I also don't have the patience to deal with them. " He'd rather take his chances with the Dark Lord than having anything to do with Moody. Still he nodded. "I wasn't planning on leaving today so you can have some time, but whatever you do don't get me involved. I'm done playing nice. I might get out, but I'll do my own thing, without any of these helpful people around. They are more likely to get me killed than help me."
