I wasn't quite sure if "Guilty" was crying out for more explanation, or better without, but here goes anyway:
He’d expected the verdict. Deserved it, even.
It had irritated him, though, the judge calling it “this most brutal of murders”. Granted, the knife probably hadn’t been what Albus had had in mind when he had asked Severus for his help in making this final journey, but it had been a quick, relatively painless death.
And Severus – well, if he had to kill a man, he hadn’t wanted it to be easy, like handing out a prescription of penicillin to some whining snot-nosed brat with a sore throat. Life was…more important than that.
