Mia turned back to her cauldron and glowered down at it, resisting the urge to glare
at Lily, who was stifling her giggles after watching James be literally put in his place.
James stood, dusted off his trousers, and made his way to the back of the classroom
to re-join his table.
Mia sighed, hoping that the awkward moment was over.
It wasn't.
"I'd go ahead and stop the Love Potion you're making there, Remus," James called
out loudly. "I really don't think she needs it! My sister's just over the moon for you."
The classroom burst into laughter, and Mia turned red with rage as she swivelled
on her stool and narrowed her eyes at her brother, who was looking smug at the little scene
he had caused. Sirius was grinning next to him, and Peter was laughing quietly, trying to
avoid Mia's glare.
Remus had his head buried in his folded arms, but she could see that his ears were
a violent shade of red. Mia glared at her brother but then decided to smile in her mother's
most threatening Slytherin manner.
Game on.
