There in the doorway stood an irate-looking, red-headed woman who was staring
at the sight of Mia pressed between two grown wizards, both adjusting their shirts as
though they were either putting them back on or taking them off.
Remus and Sirius both froze in place, and Mia squeezed herself out from between
them to stand.
"Molly?" She said the witch's name with a smile, not having seen the woman since
she had run into her at Sugarplum's Sweet Shop when Bill, Charlie, and Percy were all little
boys, and the twins were sleeping infants in a pram.
Molly appeared to not even look at Mia, her eyes glancing over her shoulders to the
men on the sofa. "You!" she hissed at them, her eyes narrowed.
Mia took notice of the look in Molly's eyes being directed at Sirius and Remus, and
she could feel her own eyes blazing. She had a line that was never to be crossed. Her boys
were the line, and Molly was edging a little too close to it for comfort.
Ron and Ginny burst into the room looking out of breath and panicked.
"We tried to stop her," Ginny said apologetically.
Ron winced. "I was just explaining to Mum―"
Ginny scoffed loudly. "She asked how Hermione enjoyed her birthday, and he
drunkenly blurted out that Sirius and Remus have been shagging her for years."
Ron turned bright red and looked down shamefully. Mia could see the empty Sober-
Up Potion still gripped in his hand.
"Molly," Mia said calmly, trying to get the witch's attention, "if Ron was doing the
explaining, then I'm sure you've got the wrong idea about―"
"You filthy beasts!" Molly screamed at Sirius and Remus, ignoring Mia entirely except
to step protectively in front of her. "How dare you put your hands on this poor girl and
take advantage of her!"
Sirius held his hands up innocently. "Molly, I promise you, no one here took
advantage of―"
"She's just a girl! And this has been going on for years?! You had no right! Don't you
speak to me, Sirius Black! Not after the horrible things you've done! Taking away this poor
girl's innocence!"
Sirius growled under his breath. "Why am I always getting blamed for shit I didn't
do?" He turned and briefly glared at Remus, who was standing up slowly.
