"I'm not debating that, but Sirius also has his internal logic and anyone who claimed to care, like his own friends, should have known. He can be vicious, but never with Potter, and he certainly would have never supported the Dark Lord or anything that claimed that pureblood families were better, because that meant that he was wrong and my parents were right. I'm not claiming that he's a nice person, only that he's too proud to accept that he might not have been right," he pointed out.
Regulus smirked, as he shook his head. "That's so very petty of you. I love it. He was repulsive, trying to ingratiate himself into people's good grace. What's the saying? You can't buy class. If only Slughorn and the Dark Lord had listen to that."
He crossed his legs, fixing his robe. "How is what I said any different than what you said. He wanted power, but he feared wanting that power, because he saw it as too Slytherinish, too ambitious, but in the end, you can't change who you are. So instead of playing God at the Ministry, because that would have made him evil, he played God at the school. Stopping the Dark Lord would have been so much easier if he'd shared the information."
Regulus shrugged again. "maybe it was inevitable, but I still get to be smug that they are the ones who destroyed wizarding civilization, just like we had predicted."
