"connection." They had even gone so far as to accuse Remus of participating in the
murders that Greyback committed in nearby villages.
Dumbledore drew a line at that point, bringing in Peter to make a statement. Since
Professor Higgs's son had mysteriously gone missing two years earlier, the Aurors had
enough to suspect foul play.
Remus was finally allowed to head to the hospital wing; a lot of good it did him at
that point, considering the deep bite wound in his side from Greyback had already healed
thanks to his lycanthropic regenerative abilities. Just one more nasty scar to deal with.
Sirius was proudly wearing a new scar across his arm from where Greyback had
clawed him. Fortunately, he had been in Animagus form at the time, so there was no chance
of Sirius getting infected. Of course, he wanted to brag about his grand adventure and
trophy scar, but without revealing too many secrets in doing so, Sirius was forced to lie and

After the long night, Mia nursed a sprained ankle from when Greyback threw her

from the altercation unscathed.
Sirius called James "Prongs the Protector" the rest of the month, and James's ego

with that stupid Snitch he had stolen—and subsequently carved Lily's initials into—
proving that not only was he an excellent Chaser, but he could have been a Seeker if he
wanted.
Since Mia was focused on her O.W.L.s, she had little time to try and rein in her
outrageously arrogant brother.
She breezed right through her examinations, which was a massive difference from
the first time around when she had spent weeks revising and re-reviewing, driving herself
to the brink of a nervous breakdown. Knowing that she already received eleven O.W.L.s
in her original timeline gave her the confidence boost she needed, and she even requested
to sit for O.W.L.s for classes she had not taken. It was out of the ordinary, certainly, but
