in your sleep before you had nightmares," Ginny informed her and then in a mocking tone,
murmured, "'Oh, Sirius... the Shrieking Shack? But what if we get caught?'"
Sirius burst into hysterical laughter while Mia covered her mouth with her hand,
feeling a genuine blush spreading over her cheeks. Remus was quietly chuckling to himself
while both Harry and Ron stared at Ginny, completely horrified.
"Well," Mia said, clearing her throat. "I have missed you, Ginny Weasley."
"And I am pleased to meet you, Mia Potter," Ginny said with a wink.
Mia beamed at the girl, feeling a strange mixture of grief and elation, as though
somehow she had been given back the gift of Mary and Lily in the form of one sassy red-
headed witch. When she looked at Harry, he was suddenly avoiding her gaze. She scoffed.
"Oh, come on, Harry. Considering the two of you were shagging the night of the final
battle loud enough for the whole castle to hear, you have hardly any right to look like a
blushing maiden."
Harry's cheeks turned redder. "You... heard us?!"
"Potter men have a poor history with Silencing Charms. Your dad was the same,"
Mia teased.
"It was disgusting," Remus pointed out.
"I'm still not sure what exactly he and Lily were attempting back then, but wands
might have been involved, and I personally―"
"Stop talking!" Harry pleaded loudly.
"I'm sorry, but.. ." Ron stuttered. "Hermione, you actually shagged Sirius Black?"
"I'm torn over whether to be proud or incredibly offended," Sirius commented
thoughtfully to Remus.
"No offence, mate. It's just... Fred and George weren't exactly secretive about
stories you told them from your days at Hogwarts," Ron said, looking down, the tips of his
ears turning bright red. "And you were okay with that, Hermione?"
Mia smiled softly, staring at her childhood friend, giving him the benefit of the
doubt that the pieces would click into place without her needing to help him.
Unfortunately, Ginny got there first.
"Mother of Merlin!" Ginny shouted excitedly, slamming her hands on the table and
making Harry jump. "He did those things with you!"
"Proud," Sirius said with a bright grin, looking to Remus. "I've decided to be proud."
