Sirius had been frustrated and angry on his friend's behalf, and James and Lily were threatening
to picket both the hospital and the Wizengamot. Remus, however, begged them not to make a fuss because
he did not want more attention drawn to him.
While the rest of them backed down, Sirius watched in amusement that Remus apparently thought
Mia would do the same.
"It's not the point, Remus!" Mia yelled. "It's discriminatory and horrible and should not be left
up to a bunch of pompous blood supremacists that don't even understand lycanthropy!"
"Yeah, well." Remus passively shrugged his shoulders, and Sirius snorted into his glass at the way
Mia's hair sparked at his attitude regarding his own well-being. "There's nothing to be done about it. It's
how it's always been and how it always will be."
"Oh, no." Mia shook her head. "You listen to me, Remus Lupin, one of these days I am going to

up, isn't he?"
"He really is," Tonks said with a twinkle in her eyes.
Remus pouted a little and then jumped with a quiet yelp, banging his knees on the
underside of the table. By the smug look on Tonks's face, Sirius assumed that she had tried
to get a little handsy.
"Well, then my job is done, I suppose," Remus said, clearing his throat loudly and
ignoring Tonks, who was rolling her eyes behind him. "Go have a wank thinking of me,
dickhead," he said to Sirius, a bite to his voice, before storming out of the room.
Sirius chuckled at the display and then turned to his cousin. "He hasn't lost it like
that in a while. Don't mind the attitude. Pre-moon Moony has always been a bit pissy. He
