"Try," Professor Higgs insisted. "If I recall, he was quite famous for his bold
declaration."
"Werewolves... are... are nothing but soulless, evil creatures." Remus paused and
took in a slow, shaky breath. "And they deserve nothing but death."
"Fuck this, and fuck you, you psychotic wanker!" Sirius stood up, kicking his chair
over. Everyone stared at him in shock as his cold grey eyes stared challengingly at their new
professor. "I did not leave my shitty, prejudiced family to come to Hogwarts to learn how
to be shitty and prejudiced!"
"Fifty points from Gryffindor for language and insolence, Mr Black, and detention
with me every Friday for the rest of the month."
"Like that's new. I'm out of here."
He reached for his bag and tore out of the classroom, stopping only once by the
door to look back expectantly as James stood to follow him. Shockingly, Lily followed after
James. One by one, each Gryffindor stood and made their way out of the classroom,
leaving behind only Peter, Mia, and Remus.
"I'm going to Professor Dumbledore," Mia insisted as she reached for her bag.
"Remus, come on." She held her hand out, but he hesitated to take it, not meeting her gaze.
"Remus," she said in a harsher tone, trying to snap him out of whatever horrible thoughts
he was stuck in.
Eventually, he stood to leave the room but did not take her hand.
She looked back at Peter who was slowly shrinking low in his seat, making no
movement to leave. She swore under her breath as she followed the rest of her House out
of the classroom, letting the door slam shut behind her.
"That fucking prick!" Sirius was out in the corridor screaming when Mia and Remus
joined them. James had a hand on Sirius's shoulder trying to calm him down. Looking up
as Mia and Remus joined the group, Sirius demanded, "Where's Peter?"
Mia huffed. "He stayed."
"That little shit," Sirius said as he tried walking back to the class but was held back
by James.
"Leave him. You walking back in there would only make things worse."
"Where's everyone else?" Mia asked, looking around and only seeing a few
Gryffindors.
