"Oh, don't act like you can't do it too. You're just as much an animal as I am."
She had the decency to look away from him but did not deny his accusation.
After a long moment of silence, Sirius asked, "Is Remus the only one?"
"Yes."
"Can you keep it that way? I know I don't have the right to ask, but I trust Remus
and only Remus."
Mia shrugged wondering what Remus would say if he was there. "That depends.
Are you going to want me, too?"
"Yes," he admitted right away.
She narrowed her eyes. "I'm not sleeping with both of you."
"I didn't mean it like that." Sirius scowled but then added, "Not exactly like that.
Remus told me why the two of you are still shagging. He keeps you safe, not alone. Makes
you forget about me."
Mia frowned, feeling just a bit betrayed. "He shouldn't have said that."
"I'm not going to have sex with you. It's crossing a line that I don't think I could
ever go back from. So, I don't want you to wait around for me. If you... I
guess, need someone, then be with Remus, but only Remus."
"Fine, but as for you, no Gryffindors. Do what you have to do," she said with a bitter
tone. "I'm not naive enough to think that you're not going to go off and keep shagging the
school. At least until it's safe like you say, but no Gryffindors." Her eyes narrowed at him.
"I don't ever want to hear about you with other girls in my own common room."
Sirius nodded, agreeing immediately. "Done."
"And no McKinnon," she growled viciously.
"Fuck, I will make an Unbreakable Vow over that crazy bitch."
"And you need to apologise to Remus," Mia insisted, her voice firm. "I don't even
want to know what the two of you talked about after I left."
"No, you don't." Sirius rubbed his hands down his face looking ashamed. "I will, I
promise. He's not going to stop being one of my best mates simply because he's shagging
my.. ."
Mia stared at him, eyebrow raised.
