"It was Sirius, wasn't it?" James glared across the room. "He's been crawlin' in your
bed since firs' year."
"We were eleven, mate," Sirius snapped. "You were in the bed too. So was Remus."
"Aha! You admit it then! You've been plannin' this for that long?" James yelled and
attempted to stand up only to fall forward onto his hands.
"Jamie, calm down." Mia leant forward, reaching for his wand again, but he pulled
it away just in time.
"I didn't take her bloody maidenhead, you drunken prat!" Sirius growled, ducking
slightly to the side as sparks flew haphazardly out of the end of James's wand.
James pulled away from Mia, tipping to the side and colliding with his trunk. Mia
winced on his behalf, but he did not seem to notice the injury. Instead, his focus turned on
Remus. "You! I fucking knew it!"
"You did not, Prongs; you just finished saying you were certain it was Padfoot!"
Remus shouted back, recoiling at the sight of the mahogany wand aimed at his face.
"You're both equally to blame!" James hollered.
"How do you figure that?" Sirius asked incredulously. "Moony's been shagging her
for years. I only had her the once."
Mia's mouth fell open as she spun on Sirius, half tempted to let her brother hex the
hell out of him. "Had me? I'm sorry. You HAD me?"
"Not that I'm saying our one time was less than perfection," Sirius went on as
though Mia was not currently staring daggers into his head. He gestured to Remus.
"Certainly better than the total of your handful of little moments."
"Little?" Remus asked, his eyes narrowing. "Would you like me to get a Pensieve
and show you? You'll have to go down to the apothecary, though; I only have a
couple dozen phials for memories, and I'll need at least twice that to let you have an accurate
portrayal."
"Fine!" Sirius stood and glowered at Remus. "When you're picking up
your tiny phials," he said, wiggling his pinky finger at him, "pick up an extra-large one for
me, and I'll show you my memory and how she likes it when I―"
"Oh, believe me," Remus darkly interrupted, "I know better than anyone exactly
what she likes!"
