“Talk about what?” Severus asked, suspicious.
Black hesitated. “First--What did you see last night?”
Severus raised an eyebrow. “You know what I saw. You took me to see...it.”
Black sighed. “Fine. What we really need to know is how you escaped.”
“After you trapped me, you mean?” Severus smirked. “None of your business.”
Potter stepped forward. “Look, you--”
Black fondled his wand. “We know you haven’t told anyone. Don’t.”
Severus scowled. “Is that a threat?”
Black smirked. “If you like. To me, you’re expendable. Remus likes you, but if you go blabbing--”
“What’s this, then?” came a voice.

“Professor Slughorn.” Severus smirked as Potter and Black backed down. “I was just preparing for the meeting.”
“Excellent.” Slughorn’s eyes narrowed at Potter and Black. “Why are you boys in the dungeons?”
“Delivering a message, sir,” said Black.
“Ah. Presumably it’s been delivered?” When Black nodded, Slughorn said, “Then, it’s getting late. Time to return to Gryffindor.”
After they left, Slughorn sighed. “Be careful of those two, Mr Snape. I heard the bit about you being expendable, and I don’t think Black was joking.”
He wasn’t. Severus nodded. “Of course, sir. I’ll get Regulus and we’ll be right there.”
“Good.”

“He said expendable?” Regulus pursed his lips. “You think he meant it?”
Severus snorted. “He locked me in a room with a werewolf! He meant it.”
“This may not be something to keep to ourselves, then. You could tell Dumbledore.”
“Oh please. He won’t do anything. Black and Potter are his favourites. And presumably he knows about Remus.”
Regulus raised an eyebrow. “It’s Remus now, is it? Something’s happened. Do tell.”
Blushing, Severus looked away. “Shut it.”
Regulus grinned. “And you’re defensive. Something’s definitely happened. You may as well spill, you know I’ll find out.”
Severus groaned. And told him.
