Sighing, Regulus reached into the pocket of his robes, pulling out his chess set, and started checking the pieces for any damage, as he always did after playing a game. It was, after all, a very precious object, at least to him, and he didn't want it to be damaged.
"Stop that," he told Severus firmly, polishing a centimetre-high pawn with the sleeve of his robe.

"Stop what?" Severus asked drily, continuing to tap his fingers. "Thinking? I'm sure there are people who would love to remove my brain. Unfortunately for us all, I am not one of them."

"Well, nor am I," Regulus replied sweetly, and added, just loud enough for Sirius to hear him, "It would be far too hard to find. I'd have to use a Magnifying Charm."

"You're selling yourself short," Severus replied, bristling a little at the way Regulus' voice carried. "Surely your brain isn't that small. Of course, I may be mistaken..."

Because who was the master of curses and nasty potions here?

Regulus grinned despite himself. "And yet," he mused, "I somehow manage to be the best in the year, if not the school, at chess, a game which self-evidently requires the application of brainpower." Without missing a beat, he moved onto polishing the white queen, not looking up at Severus.

"You have a mind for strategy," Severus admitted grudgingly. He was better at academic studies, and though he recognised the necessity for planning he was better at plotting things out before hand rather than thinking on his feet. It was a skill he might work on developing later... after he'd finished with a couple of more important things. "I suppose that means you've had word from Lucius, does it?"

Regulus simply nodded briefly, not looking up until he had successfully checked over every piece. Pulling them all together and closing the board around them, he slipped the set back into his pocket, and then looked up at Severus.

"Yes. I take it that means you have, too?"

"Yes," Severus replied flatly. He had indeed been the recipient of correspondence from Lucius Malfoy. And he really wasn't sure what to think about it. Severus had entered Hogwarts just two years before Lucius had left. They had very little to do with each other, considering the age gap and Snape's social awkwardness (against the fact that Lucius had a knack for making people like him feel uncomfortable).

"He mentioned that he was in the process of talking to several people in our house."

Regulus nodded again. "Yes, that's right. He was very vague, though. Convincing enough, certainly, but vague." He smiled slightly. "One thing about Lucius Malfoy, of course," he mused. "He's very good at chess.

"So, are you planning to look into it?"

"I don't know." Severus paused, considering what he should and shouldn't say exactly. Giving too much away was often a bad idea, but just the same... this was not only a neutral subject of discussion between himself and Regulus, but Severus was secretly burning with curiosity. Malfoy's letters had hinted at the opportunity to use the talent that was otherwise dampened by the rigidity of school. Severus wanted to know what exactly he was up to.
"It's intriguing me. I want to know what he's got planned."
