He grinned at her, his eyes momentarily flashing gold. "You're fun when you're all
angry and riled up."
For the first time, Mia felt a strange bit of exciting adrenaline flood her chest at the
sight of it. Normally, when she saw the gold in his eyes, it was in anger or stress, the wolf
trying to break through Remus in a moment of emotional weakness. He looked anything
but weak right now, though; he looked... thrilled. The grin he gave made her cheeks
warm.
James laughed, breaking her from her daze. "Mia said, 'Fuck.' That was almost
worth the detention."
"I did not!" The warmth fell from her cheeks as her face paled. She had rarely ever
said that word, least of all in public! The occasional mild swear here and there, of course,
but she had never been one to resort to crude language.
Sirius beamed at her, a look in his eye similar to the blush-inducing one in Remus's.
"You absolutely did. It was fucking brilliant."
She put her hands on her cheeks, embarrassed. "I really said that?"
Remus chuckled. "You did."
"Oh Merlin... I blame you!" She removed her hands from her face to point at
Sirius. "You're the one teaching us all foul language!"
Sirius laughed joyfully, holding his hands up in surrender. "Oi! I'm going to start
blaming you every time I hit someone, then. You're violent, you are."
"Keep it up, Sirius. You got me detention. I've never been in trouble my whole life
until I met you." Which was the worst lie she had ever told. She had been in detention
before, but never for something like this. It was always for getting caught with Harry
outside of the castle or teachers misinterpreting their efforts to save the world as causing
trouble.
"You're welcome."
She huffed, folding her arms across her chest as she pinned Sirius with a stern look.
"Excuse me? Welcome for what?"
His grin grew when she growled at him. "For fixing your boring life."
"Maybe let's stop talking, Sirius," Remus offered with a chuckle. "Mia can be a little
scary sometimes."
