"I watch you every night. I'm next to you, I see you dream. You are barely coping, Regulus, and I still told you. I'd have told you about him too. Do you want to know more now? Do you want to know what it was like to hear his screams? Hear the silence? My father was the one who locked him up without a trial." And of course Sirius wasn't on their side, but he was Regulus' brother. And, Barty could admit it, he was brave. Loyal too, only to his own cause. He'd never thought he deserved Azkaban. "I'm not keeping anything from you out of any other reason than to let your mind adjust. Do you want to be broken down like your brother? I told you, I'm keeping you safe."
