"You've made a lot of mistakes. I always reckoned you had just made one too many." Sirius tucked Regulus' wand away in his pocket, definitely confiscating that, no matter what else he might do with him. "But then, I've made more mistakes. Worse."

He could admit to that. In his opinion, his mistakes outweighed those of most anyone. "Yeah. Partying."

There was a smile and Sirius shook his head. "It's been a non-stop party since the day you died, all right."

He stared down at Regulus and the last thing he felt like doing was untying him. But there was the thought in his head. What would James do? And so he waved his wand, letting the ropes vanish.
