Snape has never made it a secret that he thinks Sirius stupid, and perhaps were Sirius a bully of the typical stripe, it might be true. Being reactive and cruel doesn't negate intelligence, though, not at Hogwarts and not here, and after a beat Sirius narrows his eyes, hands still fisted in the front of Snape's shirt.
"Not here. Back home."
Regulus had been at school with them, had thrown in with the Death Eaters around the same time as Snape. Their parents had quietly supported the decision, of course, but Regulus hadn't been stupid, either. Just naive.
The perfect target for someone like Snape, who had a particular loathing for Regulus' older brother.
