Regulus studied Snape's face, and his thoughts drifted somewhere unexpected.
He had no comment on this.
Then he looked at Snape again.
Something had been smeared over it, probably some kind of potion. An ordinary young wizard might only notice the skin looked unnaturally white.
But Regulus's magical perception followed his gaze beneath the surface, and the color underneath came through clear as day.
Normal at the forehead. Normal at the cheekbones. Deepening as it went down, nearly solid black at the chin.
It looked awful.
He withdrew his gaze.
Snape stood rooted to the spot. The corridor's dim yellow light made it hard to gauge the exact shade of his skin, but his brows were knotted tight, his lips pressed into a thin line.
