"I wouldn't eat any of these," James cautioned. "This letter is... graphic." He
blushed and made to hand the letter to Sirius, but Mia snatched it from his grasp with
narrowed eyes.
My Handsome Black Lion,
Come to Ravenclaw Tower tonight. The answer to our door's riddle
is "Water." My bed is up the stairs, fourth on the right. I'll be wearing
nothing that you can't lick off me.
Callista Hitchins"Who the fuck is Callista Hitchins!?" Mia snapped viciously as she finished reading
the letter, her face reddening. The people around the table all went wide-eyed, but Remus
had an amused grin on his face as though this were exactly what he was waiting for.
"The future Mrs Peter Pettigrew, that's who!" Peter shouted and stood up, his eyes
glazed over and chocolate smeared on his open mouth as he began frantically searching
the Great Hall.
Both James and Remus reached up and took a hold of one of Peter's shoulders,
holding him down. "Told you this one was tainted. Bin it," James said, passing the box
down to Frank, whose job was to toss the poisoned pile.
Mia seethed. "Are any of them anonymous?"
"No." Sirius shook his head, chuckling in amusement. "They all seem pretty intent
on making sure I know exactly who they're all from."
"Mary, do you have a quill and parchment?" she asked. "I've left my bag in my
room."
"Umm... sure," Mary said nervously, reaching into her bag and pulling out the
requested items for her friend. "Do I even want to know? You've got that scary look in
your eye, Mia."
"I love that look." Sirius grinned, his grey eyes darkening.
Despite being completely distracted, Peter was given another box to unwrap. They
had little time to get through the large stack of gifts, seeing that Sirius fully intended on
taking Mia down to Hogsmeade, but he was apparently not going to miss watching Peter
humiliate himself just a little for the sake of being on time.
