Who: Regulus/Dumbledore
When: morning 22 March
Where: Wizengamot office
What: Dumbledore offers to help

Regulus was in the Wizengamot room. He supposed that as Chief Warlock he could have his own office, but that seemed counterproductive. Instead he had picked one of the biggest classrooms on the seventh floor. He'd put four big desks against each other, giving them enough room to move papers around, and there were plenty of papers.

He had picked a robe that he'd found that was a lot less refined than his usual and even with charms, it still felt rough against his skin, but then he refused to ruin his finest when working with so much ink. He was in the midst of writing a message informing people of the legal changes when he saw Dumbledore step in.

He wondered what it was all about. Maybe they were done with the curriculum (and he couldn't imagine that Severus or Dumbledore would have needed more than a week or so to create curricula for a few classes. Even with searching for books, their days must be dull. "Are you here to help?" He might have dislike the man, but this version was younger and he did have a keen mind. "We wouldn't mind the assistance. Rewriting the entire penal code as quickly as possible is a challenge."

Regulus grinned. "I never said that I want to ban killing, but murder," he said, enjoying this discussion a little too much. Very few people would keep up with him or even care. Remus would, but he was the only one. "I think that's where we differ. I think killing is on some occasions necessary. It's why there are justifications for killing and not for murder. You kill in cold blood, then you should go to jail. You kill in self-defense or the defense of others, then you shouldn't."

He shrugged. "My father was killed by your people for killing muggles." He probably should feel worse, but he accepted what his father had done and getting angry with anyone for killing his father seemed like a complete waste of time under the circumstances. "I wouldn't argue with that, but the people who want to find the information will anyway. You were a friend with Grindelwald, were you not? He went to Durmstrang and found the information, but Durmstang has been teaching the same thing for centuries and never created a Dark Wizard before. Do you think he wouldn't have found the information elsewhere? Don't you think that families like mine don't teach us before we even get to Hogwarts?"

He snorted. "I think we'll wave those requirements, together with that particular treaty." They would use what they found. If anyone wanted them to stick to regulated bottom thickness, they could provide new cauldrons. "Not that I know of. Potter said that all Dementors were kicked out after they supported Voldemort. So the jail would have been run by wizards. I guess the assumption is that everyone is dead, but maybe we should make a visit."
