"Hmph."
"What?"
"I heard you telling Snape about all those Muggles you killed the other day."
"And? You were there."
Regulus raised an eyebrow. "Do you honestly believe you killed thirteen Muggles with a single curse or are you trying to fool everyone?"
Sirius huffed. "I did kill them with one curse! You saw it, you were there!"
Regulus chuckled. "Oh, I was there. I think it took more like four or five tries before they were all dead."
"You're just jealous because I got them all before you could!"
"Well then, how about a friendly little competition?"
Sirius nodded. "I'm always up for a competition. It's just another opportunity to best you, little brother."
"Fine. Starting tomorrow, we'll see who can kill the most Muggles in the next year. If you win, you can keep on telling everyone your ridiculous one curse story. If I win, you have to admit you were embellishing." Regulus held out his hand.
"Fine." Sirius shook Regulus's outstretched hand. "Prepare to lose, Reg."
"Not a chance." Regulus's confident grin matched his brother's. Sirius might be one of the most formidable Death Eaters, but that didn't mean that he was unbeatable.
