"How about that?" Mary sat back on Alice's legs and smiled slyly. "Frank
Longbottom, you dirty boy, who knew? There you have it, Lils. Our little Alice is all grown
up and over James Potter. He's all yours."
"I do not want Potter!" Lily screeched loudly. "If I fancied anyone—which I don't—
it'd probably be Remus!"
Mary grinned as Mia's jaw visibly tightened.
"Like I said," Mia twitched her nose as she spoke, "my boys are off limits."
"What about the rest of us?" Mary laughed, finally moving off of Alice and letting
her up. "Are we to die as old spinster witches, just us and our kneazles?"
Mia could not help but give in to Mary's beautiful smile. "Fine, you can have Peter."
Mary shrieked in horror, and the girls all laughed. "Eww, I don't want Pettigrew!
He's always just staring at me in Charms."
"So," Sirius said smugly as he re-entered James's bedroom where the boys had been
changing into their swim trunks, "the sounds were a little muffled, but what I gathered is
that Evans still hates James but might fancy Remus, except she says she says she doesn't
fancy anyone. Brown used to fancy James, but apparently, Frank here failed to mention that
he's snogged the bird."
"She kissed me!" Frank yelled as if defending himself as his face turned beet red.
"Good on you, mate." Sirius winked and continued with a grin. "Macdonald wants
me. Badly too, I'm guessing," he said as though that were obvious. "But Mia's hopelessly in
love with me and determined to become the next Lady Black. James, are you going to be
my best man?"
"That's my sister," James grunted, throwing a punch to Sirius's shoulder that was
easily dodged.
"I'm just taking the piss out of you," Sirius said with a laugh. "Mia wants Remus
too."
Remus's eyes widened. "What? You're lying."
"Stop talking about my sister!" James yelled.
