Moody responded by glaring at her, still clearly uneasy about having her involved at
all, considering it had been her plan to secretly save Remus. "You'll be babysitting Lupin."
Remus crossed his arms over his chest defiantly. "I'm perfectly capable of doing
Order work, and I do not need a babysitter."
"Pet sitter?" James suggested with a grin.
"Shut up, Prongs."
Moody let out an indignant huffing noise that sounded like indigestion. "Until you
get proper medical clearance from Pomfrey, Lupin, you're barely allowed in the meetings.
I'm still not too happy about your miraculous recovery."
Remus narrowed his eyes. "Thanks."
Kingsley chimed in, quickly saying, "What Alastor means is that while we're happy
you've survived your ordeal, some are less pleased with the way in which you've recovered."
The Auror had finally been brought into the Order a few months earlier when he
had overheard Moody and Edgar Bones talking at the Ministry about Remus's
disappearance.
Mia had counted Kingsley as an ally and vouched for him to Dumbledore
immediately, recounting the events that took place at St Mungo's the week that Dorea had
passed. Kingsley had defended Remus to an entire group of Aurors who had their
prejudiced minds set to take him down, and Mia would never forget that.
"Can I just point out that I'm not a werewolf?" Mia offered, slightly annoyed that
Remus's recovery was still being held against him. "Not infected. Zero furry little
problems."
Sirius chuckled under his breath. "She did get a little irritable during the last full
moon, but that could have easily been a hormonal coincidence."
"Shut up, Sirius."
Moody cleared his throat loudly to regain the attention of the room, pinning Sirius
with a look that Mia was certain could curdle milk. "As for Diggle, Pettigrew, Macdonald,
and the rest of you lot, you'll be given the name of someone to keep eyes on over the next
few months. We need to know who for certain has the Dark Mark, who else is in the
company of known Death Eaters, and potential wizards who might be swayed into
switching sides―"
"Not possible," Sirius interjected. "Once a Death Eater, always a Death Eater."
