"Always knew he was ridiculously smart for a reason," James said.
Sirius asked, "So how did he get in?"
"Dumbledore."
"Hagrid's right." James grinned. "Great man, that Dumbledore."
Mia smiled at her brother. "We should leave. Let him get some rest."
The four made their way to the door of the infirmary, but not before Mia readjusted
Remus's sheets and blankets, setting another Pain Potion on his side table in case he woke
up. She smiled down at him, sad that she had somehow failed to keep the other boys from
knowing his secret, but resigning herself to the fact that she knew from her original timeline
that they had eventually discovered it.
"Hey, Mia?" Sirius asked as they left the hospital wing. "You say he can't be around
humans, right?"
"Right."
There was a long pause while Sirius contemplated something. Then, he visibly
brightened. "What about other animals?"
Mia grinned.
