There were several problems with Sirius giving someone the silent treatment. For one thing, it was inherently passive and Sirius was a lot of things, but he had never been passive. For another, it was boring. He had never done well with boredom either.
How had it all started? Sirius didn't even know. But Rebecca had come to him, not long after they had broken up, and told him that Severus had threatened her. Called her a mudblood. And all he had meant to do was check in with him. Make sure it wasn't true.
But somehow it had escalated, in the middle of Potions, and it all led to them being here now, cleaning desks. Not exactly a glamorous activity. Also excruciatingly boring. And he had meant to not talk at all, like James had recommended. James, who had desperately tried to get detention too, so they wouldn't have to be alone together. Yet here they were and Sirius cursed some stain on the desk, before finally yelling at Severus. "I don't get you!"
