Regulus nodded. "He'll have a plan behind it. He always does. The question is whether it's a plan I want a part of, and I can't decide that until I know what it is. It's like chess again - sometimes, you have to push the defences. So I'm the same there. I want to know what he's planning, and I want in if it's everything he claims."
And, he reflected, Lucius certainly knew how to press his buttons, mentioning the House of Black and the chance to use his talents, all in one letter. There was no use in going so in-depth when talking to Severus, of course, or so personal - and Regulus had learnt a long time ago to play his cards close to his chest - but there it was. He was interested.
"Do you know who else he's asked?"

"He mentioned Avery and Rosier," Severus replied, keeping his voice low so it wouldn't carry far over the noise of the other students. "He also hinted that your cousin was in on it. That was one more reason to talk to you. I thought you might know something about that."
Something about what Bellatrix got up to when she wasn't at home perhaps? Then again, with such a large age gap between the cousins, it was entirely possible that Regulus didn't have a clue what Bellatrix may or may not be involved in.

"What, you mean Bella?" Regulus shrugged. "I hardly saw her all summer, if that's what you mean. Whatever she's been up to, I don't know about it."
Although I do have my suspicions, he added mentally.

"Well unless she's become Malfoy's latest conquest, they seem to be working together," Severus drawled, tapping his fingers against the table again. That was how it sounded anyway. As amusing as the gossip would be, he doubted that Malfoy would put himself in as much danger as stringing along both sisters would put him in.

"Which she clearly hasn't. 'Cissa would kill her." Regulus allowed himself a little smile. "'Cissa would kill both of them. Actually, 'Cissa might be a better person to ask. I nearly did ask her when I saw her this summer, but I didn't think she'd appreciate it, and she wouldn't tell any of Malfoy's secrets unless he'd asked her to. So, you'll go, then?"

"On the offchance that it isn't a waste of my time... maybe. I have plenty of time to think about it." They wouldn't be having a Hogsmeade weekend for a while. That would give them both - would give anyone who'd recieved one of Lucius' invites - some time to think things over.

"True." Regulus nodded. "I'm already fairly sure I'll go, though. After all, what harm can it do?"

"It could be an elaborate prank," Severus drawled, his pessimism showing. "A ruse designed to fool carefully selected Slytherins into a humiliating and public trap."

Of course, if that was the case then Lucius could expect heavy retaliation. If it wasn't Lucius, then the perpetrator would have needed samples of his writing.

"It could. Which is why I will be taking my wand, and some method of proving the identity of the perpetrator." Regulus shrugged. "If it's Malfoy - which I doubt; he really doesn't seem the type - then he can expect the cold shoulder from 'Cissa once I pass on said proof. If not, then my next bet would be on Sirius, and I know how to deal with him."

"Please tell me it involves a whip and a chair." That was giving away Severus' family background just a little... how many wizards would automaticly associate lions (and thus Gryffindors) with whips and chairs? How many knew what muggle lion tamers used in their acts?
