"I doubt you are that worried about it. You shouldn't be, anyway. Between your talents with potions and spells..." He had seen the things Severus could do. Barty wished he could ask him more about it. Dark magic, of course he studied it as much as possible. Unfortunately, it wasn't as available to him as it was to many others in his house. He didn't have a family harbouring ancient books of magical theorems, he wasn't yet old enough to be granted access to the forbidden section of the library and it was a hard topic to openly discuss with anyone. "You could make career anywhere."

And, of course, he had more of an inkling to where Severus' ambitions went.
