He, presumably, repeated his words, all still mumbled against the top of the table.
Frustrated, Mia looked at Sirius for clarification. "You speak 'Pouting Prongs' better
than anyone else. What is he saying?"
Sirius winked at Mia, gesturing to his ears making her realise that she was wearing
the earrings that he had given her. "The earrings that Prongs made are beautiful, though
highly unoriginal," he said, "but Lily never got them. Poor Prongsie got up, asked the lovely
Evans to go to Hogsmeade―"
"I was going to give them to her in Madam Puddifoot's," James bellowed as he sat
up straight; there was a large red mark on his forehead from hitting it against the table.
"She would have loved them."
Sirius sighed and patted James on the back when he put his forehead back down on
the table. "She said no. As usual. When Prongs tried to be a little more convincing, Evans
said she already had a date."
"Amos?" Mia asked with wide eyes, and Sirius nodded.
"That explains the broken hand," Remus muttered as he leant the side of his head
against the table.
Mia frowned at the look on his face, assuming he had a pre-moon headache. She
looked up at Sirius, gesturing to a large plate of scones sitting next to him.
Sirius nodded in understanding, reaching for the chocolate one on top and passing
it over to Remus who managed to grunt, "Thank you," before picking it apart.
"So Jamie punched Amos?" Mia asked.
"Pretty much," Sirius said, grabbing a scone for himself. "Evans slapped him in the
face and called him a hot-headed cretin. Then she told McGonagall what Prongs did, and
the poor old boy's banned from Hogsmeade for the rest of the year."
She could not help but think of Harry and how he had clearly gotten his temper
from his father. Harry always had a short fuse. While not nearly as bad as Ron, Harry never
had the ability to let things go. He was always so quick to take the bait when provoked by
people like Draco, or in some cases, his own friends. Mia was just glad that Sirius and
Remus never played on her brother's weaknesses.
"Oh, Jamie. That temper of yours is going to get you into trouble."
"It already did by the looks of it," Remus muttered.
"So just the three of us then?" Sirius asked.
