I love the cautious, defensive language. The 'we would later determine' and apparentlies and that kind of thing. I don't think I would have expected it from Sirius--but now that I see it it works perfectly. ♥
Algernon always was more brawn than brain. I can't say I'll miss him. *she sighs frustratedly* Though I'll have to attend his funeral, which will be a nuisance. I can never stand all the wailing, and you know what his mother's like. It'll be like the cats at midnight.
Is it horribly wrong that I'm having to stifle giggles? :D
*brow wrinkles with a brief ghost of confusion* *licks his lips* He was rather stupid and cruel. And as I unfortunately found out to an intimate degree, rather alarmingly inattentive to his dental health.
Not wrong at all. Bella and Sirius should share a Black sense of humour. *g*
I've always thought the word 'cruel' had a certain dignity to it, a dignity that Algernon definitely did not possess. *she touches her lips to hide a smile* Goodness, Sirius, the situation was worse than I believed. There I thought he was only trying to kill you, don't tell me he was actually trying to kiss you? No wonder he had to knock your friend out and pin you down.
*cocks an eyebrow* Would 'stinking arsehole' suit him better?
*fleeting look of inquiry until he catches on to where this is going* Dear God, are you trying to make me vomit? *stifles a quick laugh, trying to control the shape of his mouth* He'd've had to do a lot more than pin me down.
*nods* Yes, thank you. Apart from the bruising, I'm quite well. The healers say it should fade in less than a week if I keep using the ointment they gave me.

There's a rumour floating about that you have been a very naughty boy, Sirius Black?

Naughtier than usual, I expect?

Oh yes. This naughtiness involves the Ministry and a murder.

I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about.

It's fine, Harry, thank you. Still sore, but I'm a quick healer.

I'm not sure what it means if we've gotten used to this.

Oh. Well. *smiles* That's alright too.
*licks his lips* It was... a bit of a shock, yes, and... awful, of course.
*strange little smile*
Most of us weren't built for killing.
